neither bill has passed through both the House and the Senate yet, but that may have more to do with timing and semantics than any real opposition to the idea. And neither has been killed off when there have been opportunities to do so.

There's probably ALWAYS a conscription bill in the house.

And even if it gets enacted...you guys are fucked! Bet you wish you were in Canada!

[Horab Fibslager]

I'm okay.  I met a nice Aussie the other day at Old Navy, and we spent about an hour talking outside the store whilst smoking, and he said if I ever needed to emmigrate to Australia, he'd sponsor me.

All bills get composted at the end of a session if they're still in committee. Which is good.
But then the idiots who wrote them re-write them and stick them out there again.
Which is bad.

I ain't. I passed the draft age some time ago.

And I'm a chick, and Reset's got enough little odd health problems to make him basically ineligible.

[Horab Fibslager]

[agent compassion]

[Horab Fibslager]

Yeah, but you're in Alberta. Alberta plans to join the US at the end of 2006.

To quote my favourate sci-fi author, Lois McMaster Bujold:

Male soldier: Women shouldn't be in war.
Female soldier: Neither should men, what's the difference?

lol true enough to teh man/women thing.
i guess. i disagree with less on principle and more on instinct.

as for alberta joining the states, well soem folks do grumble about secession from teh confederacy, tho it's grumbles as opposed to what has happened int eh past in quebec. hpefully we'll get a pm in soon who isn't such a big fucking moron as to promise to allow the senetors elect to serve in the fed senate, instead of appointing some gardner lady and party felatiater.

got a link or anything?

I have too many health problems (and I'm sure I can come up with more...) to be conscripted.  I'm also a pacifist (when it suits me of course), and I'm openly gay.  Ohh, and I'm blind, but only when it comes to the phrase "Don't ask, don't tell."  I'm sure I can develop the terrible habit of inviting all of my supeiror officers to share my bed for the night.

Ohh, and I'm a part of a cult and represent a national security risk.  Or at least I'll affiliate myself with one if it comes to that.  I'm sure the CIA thinks we're all some kind of lazy cult, anyway.

[Horab Fibslager]

i'll go willingly as long as tehy allow me to have discordian stamped on my dog tags. religious obligation you know.

[Chaplin_Sinatra_Fonzarell]

If my dozens of mental illnesses and physical maladies aren't enough to save me from the draft, and I can't escape to Europe in time, I could always part with two of my fingers.

And if not, what use to the U.S. army is a soldier who refuses to shoot? And it could be another Aneristic institution to mindfuck.
