Possible draft? - Page 2 - VGF

GRENTLEMEN · 05-23-2004, 07:55 PM

If you think we need to stay in Iraq, then you think we need a draft. It's that simple. Voting for Kerry might delay it, but eventually he would work to instate it as well.

If true, this has got to be stopped.

I support the war, but I'd be of little use there. I've got more important things going on here. If I didn't, I'd have joined the military.

Any idea what the age limits are for this thing?

Japan would be nice, but could any of us really hold our own there? I mean, you gotta work darn hard to live in Japan.

And it's like in that movie "Mr. Baseball:"

Being non-Asian over there is like being black here (in the 60's and 70's).

I'm thinking England. Less culture-shock.

Darn government practically forces you to register with SelServ...

What are the age limits for getting drafted, is what I wanna know. I'm 22 now... How long must I hold out?

Super Shy Guy · 05-24-2004, 03:28 PM

People that want to move to Japan think that they'll be instantly accepted because they like video games and anime and are therefore part Japanese.

I'm looking into Britain or Scotland to move to. Maybe Canada. I'm not just moving to dodge the draft, mind.

Legion · 05-24-2004, 04:51 PM

Come to Britain everyone. Or Scotland. Both are nice.

Exerience the wonder of a double-decker bus! (cue gasps of astonishment) See the strange people who balance fod on the undersides of their forks! (cue jittery woman in the front row fainting)

Most of all, come to the country where the biggest security breach of the month involves the Prime Minister getting condoms thrown at him!

Anyway, in all seriousness, come to Britain.

...

I feel like one of thse damn tourism commercials.

El Barto · 05-24-2004, 05:16 PM

Britain or Scotland?

Fishmael · 05-24-2004, 05:42 PM

Japan rules. If your not willing to work hard enough, you don't belong there. But if you ask me, its way too bright.

Erdawn Il Deus · 05-24-2004, 06:12 PM

Heeeeeey all, come down (or up, per se) to the Great White North! You know you're living large when the only fear of terrorist bombing is if something misses the US!

And hey -- Health Care.

Also, better beer.

Would a man of my color survive the monthly purges?

And Canadian beer sucks.

Oh, sorry 'bout that, you go off and enjoy your American wat--err, American beer, yeah. Do that. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Pikahobbes · 05-25-2004, 10:08 PM

I will definently move to England if a draft is initiated.

If you don't have enough volunteers, then it should be quite obvious that we shouldn't be fighting in those areas.

Fishmael · 05-25-2004, 10:26 PM

England would be nice. If that draft is reinstated, I will run around in circles yelling "oh no cheerio!"

Nick · 05-26-2004, 05:20 AM

I'd say odds are 18-25 for the draft.

Canada's a no-go, as they fixed that loophole and they'll extradite your ass. I'd assume that the UK and maybe some of the other european countries would do the same.

What?

The Scottish may think they're part of Britain, but everyone hates them really.

[img]tongue.gif[/img] j/k

But the way Blair's going, as Lurch said, Britain'll probably be a no-go.

Super Shy Guy · 05-26-2004, 05:20 PM

I'm not talking about moving in Canada just to dodge the draft, to actually live there.

Most beer sucks ass anyway.

Not a sentiment I particularly agree with, having feelings pretty much the same as Carter there. But still funny.

I suspected it, and Snopes confirms it. It's nonsense.

Mariosrpg89 · 06-07-2004, 08:39 AM

It says probably not. It could still happen. If it does, no one in my entire family tree is between those ages thank god, but I'd rather it not happen. That would suck and be really sad to see other people saying goodbye.
