It is sad in some ways yet hillarious in others. But i hate having to read about political correctness and stuff because most peopole take it way to far. I dont even want to get started on it.

That sure is a horribly pathetic, cliche and predictable comic. A poor drawing of what half the world has been saying for the last 40 years.

Also, there IS no draft, so the first comic makes no sense. And nearly everybody will agree that a guy that fucks five 5 girls on a day is a slut.

And you spell it standards, not standers.

There is no current draft.  They're talking of reinstating it sometime in the near future.  If it is, I'm fucked.

Okay, there may not be a draft, but when you turn 18 in this country, it is MANDATORY that you register with the selective service....  but only if you're male.  So, the first comic does still have relevance.

I have all sorts of stuff to say about this subject, but I don't know if I have the energy to type it all up and then defend some of the more inflamitory things that I would say.  Maybe after lunch... :drool:

The draft is going to be debated in congress and if it passes it will be instated i think in May of 2005(the year is certain not the month) and it will last for 2 years. Ages 18-26 wil be mandatory to join the army.

So like I said before if it is reinstated I'm fucked.

Age 20 has historically been the age that gets drafted first, though this is not necessarily what would happen if the draft is ever reinstated.  However, I won't go, plain and simple.  Conscientious objectors (and other people too) can be allowed out of the draft.  If they don't let you out on one of the limited exceptions and you still refuse to go, you can always go to jail - and we're not talking maximum security or anything.  At least there you won't have to pay the cable bills like you do at home.

If it is against youre religion you run a buisness or are in college you get to miss out too i guess.or you have much more limited time in. I know if youre a Quaker war is against youre religion. Now i need to find out how to become a Quaker...
But i doubt that it would pass senate because there would be huge retalliation from the public.
At least thats what my US political history teacher said... but it does make sense.

Are you guys serious?  I can't believe they'd reinstate a draft.  That's horrible.  Land of the free, right?  Bullshit.  So many freedoms you guys don't have....

It's not too late to move to another country.

I can't until I'm 18, but as soon as I can I plan on moving to Canada, and becoming a citizen.


Title: Re: and now its time for unfair double standers

That's cool and all, but just out of curiousity - what's the motivation for moving to Canada?

Hehe, my brother was joking about the draft thing. He said that if they do it he and his buddy Brad are gonna play gay lovers to get out of going.

Whoa! Why didn't i see this before? OK, the draft thing was a rumor created by the Kerry Camp saying that Bush was gonna reinstate the draft.
It's all bull crap!  Two LIBERAL congressmen brought  up the issue and then voted against it themselves. It was all a dirty scheme to scare us youngsters into voting against Bush.
The left is the only party to have brought the issue up. Some of them are even for it because they think that only poor people join the army and it's not fair that the rich kids don't have to go. I've heard it, two wacko liberal Moms that my mom hangs out with said the exact thing.

And a conservative president took the U.S. to war.  Maybe liberals brought up the draft,blah blah.  I don't know who did nor do I really care.  It probably won't happen, but regardless of whether or not liberal pliticians support it, it wouldn't have been an issue had we not gone to war.  And, the fact that only males have to register for the selective service IS still discrimination.

No one needs to worry about the goddamned draft. The Kerry camp started a rumor that Bush was gonna re-instate it, but it's all a buncha CRAP.
      Two LIBERAL congressmen brought up the bill to make the rumor look true. They weren't for it themselves and both voted against it.
It's an extremely dirty trick aimed at the 18 to 26 year olds. The left is using scare tactics to try and win the election.

liberal politicians don't support it. It's all a trick and no one needs to worry about it. The army doesn't want a draft.

You can delete double posts. There is a remove button right next to the quote and edit buttons. Also i find the one about sex pretty funny. "I hope she catches something."

You'd think that having a conservative madman in the white house would be enough to scare people into voting liberal.

Did you read my post?  It was about how I don't even care who brought up the draft.  It's irrelevant who brought it up in congress and why, at least to me.  I'm not worried about it happening.  What bothers me is the principle that it is legally possible.  Even if there was no war in Iraq it would bother me.  Whether liberals or conservatives brought it up doesn't change the fact that it is unconstitutional.

The funny thing is Bush is calling Kerry a Liberal so that people wont vote for him. (him being Kerry)
