CapNColostomy Posted June 10, 2004 Posted June 10, 2004 Whew-They want 18-26 year olds. I just barely squeezed by that one! *Wipes sweat from brow*
obi Posted June 10, 2004 Posted June 10, 2004 *turns 18 August 20th* o.o They're never taking me alive!
MysticSpade Posted June 10, 2004 Posted June 10, 2004 they couldn't take me if they wanted to. 1. I am the youngest male of my family 2. I am not physically able (both my knee caps are broken) 3. I can't pass a mental test so i know they won't want me. plus it's been said before that they have a LOT of people in reserve still and that they wouldn't need the draft.
jebbers Posted June 10, 2004 Posted June 10, 2004 ahhhh!! i turn 18 on november 4th....im running to canada cuz i live about 10 miles away! :eek:
MennoniteHobbit Posted June 10, 2004 Posted June 10, 2004 If the draft is needed, then it must come. Besides, that bill has been known by me for a long time... nothing special. I don't trust Capitol Advantage. They're a bunch of stupid lobbyists.
Crazy_dog no.3 Posted June 10, 2004 Posted June 10, 2004 Well all I can say is I'm happy I don't live there.
Guest Jed Posted June 10, 2004 Posted June 10, 2004 They don't want me. I'm diabetic + Celiac disease + can-fake-being-insane. And if they still want me, I'm going to Canada. It'd be a great excuse. But eh, I'll be 16 during that time period (June 2005?), so I don't really care :\
TheMadDoofer Posted June 10, 2004 Posted June 10, 2004 Finally, being diabetic pays off for me! Cha-Ching! *Does little dance*
Miko Reglia Posted June 10, 2004 Posted June 10, 2004 Oh man... I sure do hope this never gets passed... I'll be 17 in the spring of 2005, and it said that you can't run to Canada, or school doesn't help you (I get good grades so I hoped it would stop me), so this is not good news...
Reborn Outcast Posted June 10, 2004 Posted June 10, 2004 Originally posted by jebbers ahhhh!! i turn 18 on november 4th....im running to canada cuz i live about 10 miles away! :eek: It said in the article that running to Canada won't get you out of the draft cause of some pact signed between them and the U.S.
El Sitherino Posted June 10, 2004 Posted June 10, 2004 *crosses the border* VIVA LA MEXICO! the draft is an evil and wicked b*tch. *downs a tequila*
IG-64 Posted June 11, 2004 Posted June 11, 2004 My sister pointed out that they'll never pass it because they included women.
CapNColostomy Posted June 11, 2004 Posted June 11, 2004 Originally posted by IG-64 My sister pointed out that they'll never pass it because they included women. Hey, I'm all for equality. Let women line up to have their heads shaved and be shot at just like the rest of us.

Tyrion Posted June 11, 2004 Posted June 11, 2004 1. I am the youngest male of my family 2. I am not physically able (both my knee caps are broken) 3. I can't pass a mental test Number 1 applies to me, luckily. Number 2..I'm physically able. Unless of course right before I turn 18 I suddenly get my knee caps broken.. 3...Mmm. Better start taking the lead pills. Although even if I do get drafted...I want to apply for the Air Force anyway, as some technician or engineer far far far away from danger.
PR-0927 Posted June 11, 2004 Posted June 11, 2004 Originally posted by Boba Rhett Bah, it'll never pass. Never say never. Especially with the bunch of idiots in this country still supposrting Bush. I mean, after the abuse stuff, how can you sit there and be a Republican? You are pure evil if you do. It just goes to show that even the top people (Rumsfeld) can do really bad stuff. He knew it was happening for months...and didn't care. As for me, I'm 14, so hopefully these damn wars won't last four years!!
obi Posted June 11, 2004 Posted June 11, 2004 I'm a Republican, THANK YOU GOOD SIR. I am not evil. The Republican party had nothing to do with the prisoner abuse scandal. You're 14, so I'm gonna go out on a limb and guess you are just copying what someone said or something. Either that, or you just don't know things. I know that sounded harsh, but it wasn't intended to be harsh. I'm also not one to say "you're young, so you don't know anything" either. I'm only three years older than you are, but I know a great deal about politics. And I assure you, don't judge all Republicans by the actions of a few troops, or you are just making a scene of yourself. Once again, no offense.
Boba Rhett Posted June 11, 2004 Posted June 11, 2004 Yeah, really. Watch who you're calling an idiot, pal. I don't take kindly to name calling, especially when it's directed at my friends and me as well. When you make blanket statements like that, any merit your writing may have had is pretty well lost. Now where was I... ah yes, Bah, it'll never pass.
PR-0927 Posted June 11, 2004 Posted June 11, 2004 O.K., O.K., sheesh. But, it is and will be Rumsfeld's and Bush's fault forever. Bush freakin' said that he wanted to keep Rumsfeld on his cabinet because he was a "good cabinet member." That's just...sad. Sorry about that, by the way. Just got caught in all of the excitement!!

And you get excited too easily. Go to bed little boy, and know what you are talking about next time....
