Who Here Supports a Draft?

A tattered reputation never outweighed the validity of the writing and findings of Galileo. His books were not only banned but considered deviant and false.

Who's laughing now?

I wasn't laughing, so if you're laughing, you've been the only one. So it is you who was laughing, and you who is still laughing. Which in turn explains these psychotic comments.

Newsflash, Galileo lived in a different time. Different situation. Socrates was also punished for his teachings. But people study his works now. I like using the Socratic Method on you. Though I do consider myself intelligent...I get my kicks by making it known that you are not.

That's what Socrates was all about. He never claimed he knew anything, but got his kicks convincing other people that they didn't know anything either. :eusa_whistle:

And you my friend are not Galileo...sorry, but no dice.:eusa_hand:
 
This is why I can officially start my own religion and you....
well...you suck off goats....:wtf:

(Inside Joke) Please Ask

That makes two of us. We'll have to call the Houston SPCA on this kid. He probably goes to a prestigious university and thinks he's smart just because he goes there. That's the kind of vibe I'm getting.

RGS--If I had a head as big as him, I'd have a house with no ceiling and no doors. It would be like walking on the moon. Take a small jump (over the wall) to the next room. :badgrin:
 
Well one of two things happened in this thread....TGS got his @SS whooped on this thread. Or he's too busy getting his @ss whooped on the global warming thread. :badgrin:

Is that such a bad thing? You have to in order to deal with some of the lunatics on these threads. You know that as well as anyone else. I'll try and tone it down a notch, but I only do it to certain posters who make outlandish arguments and act like I'm the crazy one. I respect everyone else...including you...:cool:

My apologies if I've annoyed you by it...:sad:

I don't know how we'd ever be able to legalize forcing people to serve....with our Constitution and all. I agree with it, and I think everyone should have to serve for a time...but it would be hard to navigate around the legality of it.

Navigate around the legality of the Patriot Act, and homeland security act! The past eight years has proven you can't hide behind the Constitution when it comes to the legality of homeland security. :eusa_naughty:

If they feel a need for the draft they will incorporate it once again. In which I will respectfully go beings i'm a single man, under the age of 30, and physically able to do so.

Well I know that...but what I'm saying is that it would be difficult to force people to join the military in peace-time, unless preparing for war. I know what you mean about the Patriot Act. I would support people being made to serve a certain amount of years after high school, but this might not go over well with others. I'm postive that if the shit hit the fan, the draft would be in effect ASAP. But I was questioning the legality of people being forced during peace time. I'm also in that age range...:cool:

Ok, in peace-time that would be unheard of and unlogical. I'm with you on all previous post that one just threw me off a bit.
thanks for clearing it up.

Selective servce only goes to 26, but I agree with what you are saying here. If the need ever arises, the draft will be reinstituted. It's a little hinky though, that the draft was fine all the way up until the baby boomer generation. Makes you wonder what changed.

You're completely right, through the military conflicts of the twentieth century there was 2,810,296 in WWI, 10,110,104 in WWII, 1,529, 539 in the Korean conflict, and 1,857,304 men in Vietnam that were selected for services through the Selective Service System.

so um.........not enacted that much?:eusa_think:

I would support the draft in a legitimate conflict where significant force is needed.

Forcing people into the Military is a last resort measure that has no place in the confines of a war based on the grounds of pre-emptive action, unless a country's government or it's people were in serious danger.
