But, like I said, army isn't my main problem, it's the government that's trying to get me killed by makng me join it, killing arresting my people, suspending the very rights it claims to stand for in order to **** over a few dissidents, and in other words BEING A VERY SERIOUS ****ING PROBLEM for us. I don't know about you all, and at the moment I'm not entirely interested, but for me and my comrades the government most certainly IS a problem, so long as the everpresent nagging risk of getting "dissapeared" is a problem. It's happened to people I know of, and it's happening to more all the time. And that is a problem for me, a very personal one. Got a problem with that?


Where is anyone/thing forcing you to join anything ? This 'proposed' bill isn't going anywhere.....hell it's laughable the guy came up with it.

"killing arresting your ppl" :wtf:

Ok the last half just sounds like something that US kid that was working with Ossama's group would type. If you're THAT against the US ... you aren't forced to stay here man.

Who says I'm talking about that bill?


And it ain't just "terrorists" getting arrested and dissapeared, man. I thought that was common knowledge by now, 's been going on for months. Comes from a very loose definition of "terrorist". VERY loose.

And I am more or less forced to be here- by fiscal limitations (I could probably afford a one-way ticket, but damn little else, and getting hired pretty rough in most countries, from what I hear), if not by the fact that practically, if not literally, every other country in the world is beholden to the US. A good number of them are even worse- a limited few are better, but they have their own problems, and, once again, in varying amounts still come under the long reach of the new US quasifascism.

I guess the problem is many people feel fundamentally "wrong" with things the way are currently, however as StrykeIX pointed out, there are no alternatives.

Your point about "going somewhere" else really isnt a valid one when every square millimetre of the earth is "owned" by someone.  Everything is becoming locked down - how long until we lose the oppertunity for change, or any kind of evolution?

If you're happy with the way things are, thats great - im very glad for you.  But try to think of how many peoples' heads you tread on to get there.

I trod on a tramp's head this morning. But he was asking me for spare change, so he deserved it :nod:

*thinks back*

Ummm hows not a single one. I've had my share of hardships in life. I just don't feel things should be handed to me either.

neither do I, however, I think there are far too many people who don't get the recognition they deserve (im not saying i'm one of them, mind you).

In a country of 250 millon or so ppl ... a ****load will NOT get recognized for anything. It's a simple fact of life. We could change the Gov. 10 thousands times,... still won't help that issue a single bit though.

I'm pretty happy with my life, but I'm not happy with my country--after all, we have  Bush as president and we have a bunch of (more than usually stupid) idiots in Congress AND we have a populace who is as bloody minded as our governing idiots.

Oh, and seem to recall not treading upon anyone but myself to get where I am, thanks much. I worked myself out of being a homeless college dropout with a 0.0 GPA to being a happily married, highly skilled, highly motivated systems administrator*. The US Navy had a hell of a lot to do with that complete turn around. It took boot camp to help me realise what sort of bipolar egotistical/self-loathing moron I was. I learned a work ethic--one far stronger than all but a very small percentage of civilians I've met since getting out. The Navy taught me that responsibility is a two way street, with those in charge just as responsible to the rank and file as the rank in file are responsible to those in authority. Civilians don't seem to understand THAT either. They don't hold their leaders accountable, and they expect not to be held accountable for anything either.

Don't dislike the military. Dislike the morons you help (passively or actively) get into office. That's like disliking doctors because hospital administration sucks.

wEvil, I know you don't have anything to do with my government, but your government isn't doing much right either (except the Beeb. :) love the Beeb).

* -- albeit it a currently laid off, jobless, dole-bludging happily married, highly skilled, highly motivated systems administrator. :D
