I ain't going to war to kill a man for anybody.

jon boy 11.20.2006 04:31 AM

Also we would need a home video.

Oh, I must. It's my duty as a faggot. Cantankerous said something once about how hot it looks when you light up a cigarette and your nails look fucking ace. So true.

gmku 11.20.2006 01:58 PM

Yeah. The ciggies might kill ya, but at least you'll have a well-manicured corpse.

static-harmony 11.20.2006 02:00 PM

I have the tape already just in case they call me to enlist. ciggies are bad ass, I want one although I never had one.

This is funny my next door neighbor is singing in an awful voice, quite disturbing.

gmku 11.20.2006 02:07 PM

You should take up smoking and other harmful drugs when you're like 80 or 90 and know you won't last much longer anyway. Gives me something to look forward to--I want a carton of Camels for my 80th birthday, a bag of heroin when I turn 90.

i support the idea. let's spread the death toll across racial and class lines. why is it mostly poor brown people and rural whites who end up getting fucked in the ass for the wars that rich people launch? equal opportunity death would indeed be a way to stop the congressional fatcats from sending kids to die on a whim.

Forced equality isn't the same as equal opportunity. Everyone has the same opportunity to volunteer or not.

But yeah, isn't that kind of the idea behind this whole draft thing being brought up - that it will make politicians think twice about getting into wars?

Somehow I doubt that it will work out like that. All it really means is that those politicians will be guaranteed to have the numbers they need to go to war with whomever they wish.

Maybe they should raise the pay of soldiers instead.

oh, the "equal opportunity death" thing was a purely rhethorical device.

about the numbers, perhaps, but you wait and see those white middle class parents up in arms when junior is being sent to invade venezuela just because. those middle class parents who for the most part sat idly before 2003.

if one cindy sheehan created such a racket, can you imagine what 10,000 of them could do?

nature scene 11.20.2006 08:24 PM

yeah, I get your drift, but it still doesn't sit well with me.

!@#$%! 11.20.2006 08:27 PM

yeah, sure, it's the government forcing people to do stuff.

the thing is, where i live, lots of poor brown people are seduced into joining the armed forces with frisbies, brainwashing slogans, and promises of college money. of course many come back too fucked up to function. but because we're talking about poor brown kids with no political muscle, nobody gives a shit-- kinda like the mexican who cleans your pool. (not your pool-- again the metaphors).

anyway, i'm really not for the draft nor for the war-- but as long as people keep stirring the shit, and thinking about things instead of being drones, i'm happy.

static-harmony 11.21.2006 02:57 AM

I don't wanna go, if gets reinstated I am going to jail instead.

Cantankerous 11.21.2006 02:59 AM

i can't get drafted, so i don't give a shit.

static-harmony 11.21.2006 03:01 AM

Well Isn't she no longer speaker of the house? I wish they had chosen her.

finding nobody 01.18.2007 09:36 PM

I found out today that you can't be drafted in you're the only son, or the youngest
(Yes!)

krastian 01.19.2007 01:33 AM

^Yeah I have that, the gayness, and the half-blindness going for me.

SynthethicalY 01.19.2007 01:35 AM

I have youngest, gayness, weakling (too many operations), Partially deaf, and I may have some sort of psychosis.
