I'll tell you another little trick, lose more weight! They go by your height and weight and if they can't have you in they're "braket system", then you ain't going either with that!IP: Logged |

Well let's see:I have bad eyesight, I have to wear contacts or glasses no matter what. If I lose them I'm screwed. My vision is completely blurred. I'm very close to 5'2" but not even. My wieght is apporoximately 96-100lbs. I have chronic asthma that occurs with strenuos exercise and allergies. Right now I can't do anything without taking a pill every single day, and having my inhaler in handy. Stress and anxiety make it ten times worse. Sometime I have to use a machine to keep my breathing normal. I have a small body, and cannot pick up more than 100lbs over my own wieght. I think thats pretty much it, and I also have beautiful sympathetic eyes, and you can obviously see that I'm not made for war. Oh yeah, and I'm a Pisces, could I be anymore weak?

I'm only telling you this because, I having experience in this can tell you that I don't believe that it is such a good idea to just take anybody off the streets and put them onto the front lines, I think that it's not only dangerous for the inexperienced person, but I also believe that it's just as dangerous to the ones that are already there!It never worked in Veitnam and it's not going to work in Iraq!
Going to war is alot more then getting an attitude adjustment!

You ask me what would this draft be for Ozone. You should ask the Democrats who sponsored or co-sponsored the bills. Gee Ozone, I did the hard part for you. Posted the exact pages on the website listing all the sponsors. Just type any of their names into your search window and you will find them and their contact page.Star, this is Democrat legislation, designed for one purpose, to give Democrats an issue during the election. The fact it's Democrats pushing the nonsense notion that Bush is going to restart the draft is proof it's a political ploy. Did you know before I told you that it's all Dems who sponsored the bills. Well, it's Dems who are spreading the rumors. The House is controlled by Republicans. The Senate is controlled by Republicans and the White House is controlled by Republicans. This legislation can never see the light of day or even get voted out of committee without a majority of Republicans on the committee approving and voting to send it to the full House and Senate for votes. Republican support so far.....zero.  IP: Logged |

You'll be fine, the worst case senario to this is the fact that if they ever even called you(which I doubt it,for your medical history), you would first have to take a physical and an SAT-like exam and judging by your health, more or less they won't take you.I think that you'll be safe!

I know what you said, that this was democrat legislation. I was talking hypothetically. But it's still a scary notion for me, you know? Anyway, thank god for conservatives at this point in time. Phewie!  You know, darn these modern democrats, they do nothing but confuse and mislead people. Oh yeah, and scare the bejeezus out of people like me. -StarLover

"When someone is trying to kill me paras, killing them is the ONLY course of action I would consider"
--jwhop"Learn karate and other Oriental self-defense arts if you must, but do not kill. You must not remove any person or creature's Free Will choice to live or die.
Not killing is so basic, it shouldn't even need to be mentioned. If you have formerly killed "in the line of duty", with the mistaken notion of "patriotism", forgive yourself and cleanse yourself. There's never a real reason for killing anything or anybody. There is always a way to solve a "dangerous", existential situation where your murder or another's murder is threatened, without killing the aggressor. There is always a way to prevent the death of one person without killing another. Wounding an arm, hand, foot, or leg is not desirable, but it is better than killing."
--Linda Goodman (Oh MY, jwhop! Linda even said that "patriotism" is a mistaken notion! Care to bash her the way you would if *I* had said that?)

I never suggested that, and such is not the point I'm making. Please allow the person I'm trying to get a response from to respond before diverting attention away from my meaning.IP: Logged |

What the hell kind of answer is that Paras? I asked a simple question. There was ABSOLUTELY nothing in it that could be construed to be antagonistic. What the hell kind of thing is this: quote:
You can't figure it out, Isis? No, I suppose you can't -- and I think I know why.
to say to someone?Look, you obviously have a burr in your saddle concerning Jwhop, myself, and anyone else who agrees with him. Fine, but be a man about it and just say, "hey I don't like you", then all involved can just avoid each other like adults. You have some nerve, accusing Jwhop of being insulting while you carry on in EXACTLY THE SAME WAY. Fine, you don't want to answer the question, just say so. Don't play games. IP: Logged |

Actually, Isis, I meant that in a completely non-emotional way... it is a statement of fact and no more. I honestly don't think you are capable of figuring out my meaning. And I honestly think I know why. That you take it as antagonistic is interesting in itself -- by which I mean it teaches me more about the way you think. Psychology is my big kick in life, didn't you know?And I fear that you will take these simple statements of fact as antagonistic, too. But unfortunately there is little I can do to stop that.  Gee, I hope jwhop sees what i posted for him, after it's been buried by all this. 'Course, he'll just pick and choose some small portion of it to respond to, anyway, rather than answer directly to the overall meaning of it. IP: Logged |

What kind of thing is that to say to someone? If this is the treatment one gets merely from asking you a question...you have some nerve accusing others of being rude and disrespectful.I've got some choice words from you, but I won't dignify your ego-laden juvenility with them. I don't need to lower myself to your level of immaturity and (albeit subtle yet still obvious) nastiness.

Ummm...
...so, everyone has to believe you're capable of figuring out everything, or else they're being demeaning? How does that work???Is there any way for me to tell you in a polite way that I don't think you can figure something out? What words should I use? Tell me, and I'll use 'em. Come on, Isis, I'm doing everything I can to be nice about it. I'm even asking you to teach me how! IP: Logged |

I'm not buying your act. And I'm not going to dignify what you're doing by engaging in discussion about it. Suffice it to say that it is quite obvious the game you're playing. IP: Logged |

No, suffice it to say that your overabundance of personal pride is quite obvious. And I am not insulting you by saying that -- such is not my intention -- I only wish to bring it to your attention so that you have a chance of someday overcoming it. (Something I do that people absolutely hate, despite my best intentions.) Humility is a prerequisite to spiritual growth; I learned this early on.Unfortunately, it seems that the pride itself will preclude you from recognizing these statements as anything but an insult. ("What?? Me, too proud?? How dare you suggest such a thing!") Those statements really were factual, and were honestly not delivered in an attempt to hurt your feelings. I know you will not even consider this possibility, but that is the truth.  I have thanked people many times over for pointing out my faults to me. I am very aware. Proof, case-in-point? I've told you and Randall both that you were correct about something in your responses to me. If I was truly arrogant, as some people seem to suggest, I could never have done that. I would never have seen your statements as anything but an insult. ("What? Me, wrong?? How dare you suggest such a thing!") by the way, will someone -- anyone -- who understands this post, PLEASE speak up and say so? It is SO discouraging being misunderstood time and time again.

Paras, your Posts are the most Ego-driven I've seen here in almost four years. It's almost like a child begging for parental attention away from his/her sister/brother. Your psychological tactics are failing you (unless this is the image you are trying to present). Of course, there's nothing wrong with Ego, unless accompanied with denial. ------------------
