Can you say drafted

Bill Calling for Mandatory Military Service Sits in Committee <BR> <BR>In a move that could redirect high school graduates from hitting the college books to hitting military targets for the 2004 freshman class, one House representative is calling on America's youth to relearn the meaning of national unity and obligation to the country. <BR> <BR>The bill, House Resolution 3598 proposed by Representative Nick Smith, would be "phased in" over 10 years and would require all male high school graduates to partake in "boot camp," history/international relations classes and volunteer in national service programs for at least six months starting in 2004. <BR> <BR>Students attending universities in 2004 would not be affected by the bill and would not need to drop out. <BR> <BR>The bill, awaiting review by the House Armed Services Committee, is a revised version of a bill that was introduced in December. It is one of the nation's first legislative responses to President Bush's State of the Union request for every American to commit two years of service to the country. <BR> <BR> <BR>At least in Germany, they get to choose civil service or military service... <BR> <BR>but hey, at least the ladies are exempt! :] <BR>Can you see me in the military? I'd be a laser guided not-so-smart bomb! ;Þ

[Sheri Gordon (Sheri)]

Well, if nothing else, it'll give the men a cold hard "wakeup call" on what life is really all about. (so much for frat parties) That is, if it weren't for the corruption in the gov't and military. <BR> <BR>Can you say, SUCKER?! The US owns ya.

[Don't hate me cause I'm beeyootiful (F_U_N_G_U_S)]

Hey, if they have people constantly in the military like that, eventually the only target left will be... <BR> <BR>CANADA! <BR> <BR>We'll own you too :]

[Tina (Trina)]

as long as female graduates are not involved as well, it is just as unfair as it is in Germany... just my opinion... <BR> <BR>not that I would welcome that, I am against all forms of *mandatory* military service anyway... <IMG SRC="http://www.electric-ent.com/bbs/clipart/happy.gif" ALT=":)">

[Sheri Gordon (Sheri)]

Ya'll'd hate to own Canada. We're just a bunch of dumb eskimos in igloos after all. Leastways your Intelligence seems to think so. That shall be your undoing. ;-)

[Don't hate me cause I'm beeyootiful (F_U_N_G_U_S)]

And the moosen shall reign supreme... <BR> <BR> <BR>8Þ

[Sheri Gordon (Sheri)]

Moosen? Boy, go back to grammar school. ;-)

[Don't hate me cause I'm beeyootiful (F_U_N_G_U_S)]

Yes, dagnabit! The moosen and the goosen and the meece and the oxenbovinus shall inherit the earth!

[Sheri Gordon (Sheri)]

Well, we know the illiterate Americans never will! ;-P What have we to fear from them? hehehe

[They call me... (F_U_N_G_U_S)]

We have large weapons of mass destruction and the stupidity to use them! <BR> <BR>MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! <BR> <BR>Be afraid, be very, very afraid...

[Sheri Gordon (Sheri)]

That's the scary part. Kinda like giving a loaded gun to a baby. <IMG SRC="http://www.electric-ent.com/bbs/clipart/happy.gif" ALT=":)">

[They call me... (F_U_N_G_U_S)]

you left out a line. <BR> <BR>"God creates dinosaurs. <BR>God kills dinosaurs. <BR>God creates man. <BR>Man kills God. <BR>Man creates dinosaurs. <BR>Dinosaurs eat man... <BR>Woman inherits the earth."

[Tina (Trina)]

Am I allowed to ask a little question in between? moosen? what is that?

[Starr Magick (Starr)]

OOPS... <BR> well not like I pay THAT close attention... <BR> I just remember the woman inherits the earth.. <BR>LOL

[They call me... (F_U_N_G_U_S)]

<A HREF="mailto:teeheehee@Tina">teeheehee@Tina</A> <BR> <BR> <BR>Just me goofing around with plural nouns :] <BR> <BR>Moosen = Moose (plural) <BR>The largest member of the Elk family (reindeer, etc).

[Sheri Gordon (Sheri)]

See, Tina? Just how illiterate Americans are! ;) They can't even use proper grammar. Such inbiciles. Pity. hehehehe

[Stefan (Auric)]

With that "n" at the end, it sounds more like a German plural... hehehe <BR> <BR>Ein Moose, viele Moosen. <BR> <BR>Hey, ya know the German saying: "Ohne Moos nix los!" ? <BR> <BR>;oÞ

[They call me... (F_U_N_G_U_S)]

Sheri, I'd be careful if I were you. Bush said I can choose where the first missile hits >;Þ <BR> <BR>I'll make sure it's a laser guided bomb so we can see the look on your face.

[Sheri Gordon (Sheri)]

Depends. If it's guided by Microsoft, it should hit somewhere in the arctic circle. ;-)

[They call me... (F_U_N_G_U_S)]

Noo, silly rabbit. Why would the government be going after MS so much if MS made military products? C'mon, the g'ment isn't THAT stupid... <BR> <BR>They probably use Unix to run the guidance systems :]

[Starr Magick (Starr)]

Everyone knows "American Smart Bombs" is an oxymoron..... <BR>how many times do they OOPS... <BR> <BR> We here In Canada are not worried.. Unless you is Aiming for Russia.. Then we might get a little nervous.. <BR>LOL <BR><IMG SRC="http://www.electric-ent.com/bbs/clipart/happy.gif" ALT=":)">

[They call me... (F_U_N_G_U_S)]

You missed the point. See, those aren't "misses", just overly excited G.I.'s wanting to do something for America's Funniest Home <FONT SIZE="-2">(and laser guided smart bombs</FONT> Videos. <BR> <BR>And the scary thing is, we don't MISS our targets. We hit them... and everything within a large radius around them...

[Sheri Gordon (Sheri)]

Well, how hard is it to hit the EARTH somewhere. "Sarg, we were within 1000 miles of our target." <BR>"Good job, cadet!" <BR> <BR>>:-P <BR> <BR>Why Fungie boy....I would have thought you already KNEW about Microsoft's romance with Bushwacker? <IMG SRC="http://www.electric-ent.com/bbs/clipart/happy.gif" ALT=":)"> They love each other. They secretly plan to take over the world! (Kinda like Pinkey and the Brain. Without the Brain)

[They call me... (F_U_N_G_U_S)]

What? Communists are involved now? (think about it).

[Electric Goose (Egg)]

It really is sad. Nothing at all to be joking about. I can't tell you the number of folk I know who voted for Bush because of his "I'm a good Christian" speech. If you look at his history he is sooooo NOT! Now the budget comes out. Cut health care for children, cut care for the homeless, cut care for the elderly, generously raise the military budget.

[Starr Magick (Starr)]

Well as an American friend of mine says <BR>"Thats what we get for Putting a "SHRUB" in power" <BR> <BR>HUGZ for you all... <BR> <BR> Here in Canada we REALLY DON"T wanna know if Our Prime Minister is having sex... THAT just repulses us.. we JUST don't wanna know... TMI <BR>LOL <BR>( and YES I know that was Clinton... but I needed to get that out too...)

[Starr Magick (Starr)]

Hey Oh Great Fungal One... <BR> we HAVE to Include Our Russian Neighbours... <BR>they don't wanna feel left out ya know.. <BR>BESIDES... <BR> you and them get into a war,., that leaves US CANADIANS in the middle... <BR>and if THEIR smart bombs are anything like yours... <BR>I think I may move to Australia <BR>>;P <BR> <BR>"All in Favour of Moving The Great Nation of 'Killfordia' to the land down under.. say AIE!! <BR> <BR>if there be ANY doubts.. may I make mention of 1 thing... NO snow there.. but they got Amplexing Cane Toads!!

[Sheri Gordon (Sheri)]

Aye, I agree. Let's move to Aussie land, with it's illustrious beginnings and all. ;) <BR> <BR>I read in the paper this morning about how Bush is now stirring up trouble in North Korea. Proving my earlier prediction that he's just a war-happy fool like his dad was. I bet he was the type of kid who got kicks out of beating hornets nests with a stick, then running for cover. ;-)

[Sheri Gordon (Sheri)]

Btw, with all the stuff he's stirring up, Bush NEEDS to put in the Draft. Just so he has enough players to kill off in his big game of Doom. hehehe

[Sheri Gordon (Sheri)]

About the only "Christian" thing he's trying to do is make sure he can be a part of the Armageddon. ;-) Sorry, dude, them's not the kinds of "Christians" we need in power.

[Electric Goose (Egg)]

I don't find it funny.

[Sheri Gordon (Sheri)]

Don't find what funny? There's lots of posts from here to there. <IMG SRC="http://www.electric-ent.com/bbs/clipart/happy.gif" ALT=":)">

[They call me... (F_U_N_G_U_S)]

I think she means the Christian comment, and armageddon more specifically.

[Sheri Gordon (Sheri)]

It wasn't meant as funny. It was scaringly serious. Bush is about as Christian as....Harry Potter. He may talk the talk, but he certainly doesn't walk the walk. He seems to want the war glory. And all he's going to fulfill of his "Christian" promises is aiding in fulfilling some prophecies if he keeps it up at the rate he's going right now.

[They call me... (F_U_N_G_U_S)]

then don't add the smiley if you're serious. I think that threw everyone off.

[Sheri Gordon (Sheri)]

It was more of a...."yeah, sure he is" smiley. Too bad we don't have an eye rollie gif on here

[They call me... (F_U_N_G_U_S)]

eye rollie gif huh? Hmmmm....

[They call me... (F_U_N_G_U_S)]

Back on topic for a moment: <BR> <BR>The problem with this proposition is, it doesn't give people a 'wake up call', it doesn't teach them respect, all it does is piss people off and give them guns. <BR> <BR>Feel any safer now?
