Analogman Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 Having that in place is one thing. Actually utilizing it is another. The political price to pay would be enormous. There was talk of doing away with that as I recall - but I think one of the reasons it was kept - was in case of a draft. I could be wrong - Link to post Share on other sites
viatroy Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 I know. Those are so fucking ... I can't use that word anymore for what I want to use it for. Suffice to say that I have a low opinion of anyone driving around with said sticker. My thoughts vary between "they drank the koolaid" and "so go to Afghanistan fuckwit" Link to post Share on other sites
bobbob1313 Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 Oh and, yeah, there will not be a draft. Me worrying about McCain or anyone reinstating the draft would be akin to me worrying about Canada invading. Link to post Share on other sites
JUDE Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 I think you have a point. And, while it's been the subject of many comedy routines, the Supreme Court's recent ruling further details an American's gun rights, they might as well get a chance to use their automatic weapons for a good cause! Yeah because every gun owner in this country is a bloodthirsty right wing survivalist type! Link to post Share on other sites
bobbob1313 Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 Not quite, but I will say, if you own an automatic weapon, wouldn't you want to go all Rambo on some terrorists? Isn't that the point? Link to post Share on other sites
quarter23cd Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 We may not let you in the country, but if you are here by some fluke then we will surely want to put you in our army!And if by some chance you should survive the war (where we are sure to send you directly to the most dangerous assignments), we might even consider letting you stay! (maybe) Sounds like a sweet deal to me! Link to post Share on other sites
JUDE Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 Not quite, but I will say, if you own an automatic weapon, wouldn't you want to go all Rambo on some terrorists? Isn't that the point? If I went through all of the effort and paperwork to become licensed to legally own an automatic weapon, oh hell yes. I think you'll find people who fall into that category are in the minority of gun owners. Link to post Share on other sites
bobbob1313 Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 And... we're done! Thanks for playing! No, I'm not locking the thread. But that particular fight is over. Move on. Not sure why you included me there, but ok. Link to post Share on other sites

Good Old Neon Posted July 1, 2008 Author Share Posted July 1, 2008 I'm still waiting for you to come out and admit you mean to be offensive every time you post anything that has to do with religion, you fucking nitwit. **no offense! Well then, I hope you have yourself a nice comfortable seat on which to rest your ass, because you Link to post Share on other sites
sweetheart-mine Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 i have yet to see that sticker in maine. either for some reason the people aren't into it or i don't get out enough, probably the latter. the mind-set behind that sticker is obnoxious. Link to post Share on other sites
gogo Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 Not sure why you included me there, but ok.Because you had responded to the post in question, which in turn could likely lead to another post in the same vein...

bobbob1313 Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 One more thing and I'm done: It doesn't matter if you mean to be offensive or not. There was no point in saying what you said, or indeed, in any of the things you say about religion, and most of the things you do say about religion come off as you meaning to belittle people who do believe in it. If you can't see why people talking about playboy and beavers doesn't require the same amount of handslapping as you belittling people's religion then I guess there's nothing anyone can do for you.

What part of "it's over, move on" did you not understand? Take it to PM, if necessary. Sorry about that, I was writing it while you were posting your knock it off request. From this point forward, consider it honored, your request. Link to post Share on other sites

gogo Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 Could everyone please go read ms yvon's post in the soccer thread, please? She makes a lot of good points: If you think something's maybe going to be offensive, think long and hard about whether you really want to post it. Try to keep within spitting distance of the topic at hand. Stop baiting each other. Is that really so hard? Link to post Share on other sites
