There are so many things I find irksome in society, Owner59, and I realized long ago I need to narrow my focus and effect change where I am able to. You make valid points, however. Sinergy

You make valid points, however. Sinergy I think the best that anyone can do,is be informed and vote.Vote with your feet,your money,and w/ emails/phone calls to your three members of congress. If we weren`t being missled on life and death issues, like Iraq and our war on terror,it wouldn`t be a big deal.We could just laugh at the sillyness.It`s the deadly nature those things,that makes their deceptions so serious.

If you know one, please get him/her hooked on talk radios and such.

(snip) leading me to wonder if the people behind these shows start with the premise that their target demographic is listeners who will have absolutely zero critical thinking skills. In fact, it doesn't matter. The bottom line is that advertisers only put their ads where they will do some good, which means they have already checked the demographic, so whether it was known in advance or not by the people behind the shows, it is known now by the advertisers, and hence by us.

Had there not been mandatory service in Norway, I'd have gone for a career in the military. As it is, I chose to find a way out instead.

If the draft was FAIR, why didn't Idiot Bush see combat? How many good men died because he was "Too Busy" or some such shit?

BOUNTYHUNTER -> RE: Restoring the draft (7/24/2007 6:45:05 PM)
The draft is about 85 % fair and its better chopice then we have now....

BOUNTYHUNTER -> RE: Restoring the draft (7/24/2007 6:46:39 PM)
SO now you telling me what I think.of course instead of yellow it could have stunk as well.

quote: ORIGINAL: BOUNTYHUNTER SO I see just a tint of yellow down your back. Risking 50% over the max penalty for murder one in order to stand for your morality may be "yellow" in your world. Where I come from, it's called "civil disobedience", and is done when something has gone too far. Perhaps people are too cowed to do that in America, I don't know. Until I read that post, it didn't seem like that was the case. I hope your view is not representative. Or that I misunderstood it. Some of us feel that having no nation at all would be preferrable to one we cannot stand for, or that having no existance at all would be preferrable to one our conscience cannot support. There is historical precedent for both views in America. I doubt they have died out, but feel free to prove me wrong.

Ohh wise one of nothing, I said 85% fair...BY the way dude what is your service to the country,I have been meaning to ask you, are you another one that sat at home picking this country apart while myself and millions of others bled so you could..bounty

michaelOfGeorgia -> RE: Restoring the draft (7/24/2007 6:53:12 PM)
why doesn't the government draft those death-row inmates that are just waiting to die anyway? why should we continue to pay for their time in prison?

luckydog1 -> RE: Restoring the draft (7/24/2007 6:53:55 PM)
And if Farg was serious about his beliefs he would be out planting Car bombs or something against the Feds here in the USA, instead of just cheerleading . He has said many times that the courts and thier rulings (yep the same system that produced Dredd Scott) are illigitamate, and that the President is illigitimate, and the Congress oversteps the Constitution. So we can conclude that he, along with the Bush daughters, lacks the courage to follow through on his stated beliefs.

BOUNTYHUNTER -> RE: Restoring the draft (7/24/2007 6:55:03 PM)
ITS called cut and run and you are a lesser man for doing so and yet here you are espousing bull about america,if you don't like it then leave,I'll hold a boat for you and farglebargle..bounty

No one bled for MY Freedom and Liberty! Propaganda Much? If there's any defending to do, I will defend MY Freedom and Liberty. The Federal Government is a failure, like that of the Articles of Confederation. Accept that reality, devolve whatever authority has been delegate back to the States, and try again if you want to. ( And the USA didn't do squat while my family members were being exterminated by Nazis, either... In fact, PRESCOTT BUSH, W's Grandpappy went out of his way to help Adolph.... )
