Just thinking (while watching the latest edition of the news)......kids these dayz should graduate from high school, pick their choice of service for a minimum of 2 years, then go from there & see what happens.

Jade, you must have very low expectations for your children.

Sorry, I meant to say peace time.  IMO, the IRAQ issue is way f**cked up.  Honestly, what is the point?  I don't get it.

My friend that lives 2 houses down from me has 2 years until retirement......he just got shipped back to Iraq for 6+ months.

If the person was to learn a trade and profession such as a Mechanic and a stipulation that the person saw no military action conflict in there 2 years it would not be such a bad thing.
Though not all people conscripted would not pass the Psych test.

Thank you.

It shocked me how many sheep were on this board who can't think about this issue independently.  It's nice to see that some people realize how immoral this war is.  It is not serving the interests of the country, just the elite families who want in on this war.

Mankind's short-sightedness, self-destructiveness and ignorance amazes me day after day. Our apathy is astonishing. We'd rather tune out the Iraq war like a played out TV show rather than do something about it.

The Iraq thing is just f-in stupid.  I see vets every week.  Missing arms, legs, faces, whatever....it really makes ya think.  Hey, why should I complain about anything?

I'm committed to learning all I can to achieve a vast awareness of reality through research, truth filtering, history, and all sorts of information. I share drops of all this info where I may achieve the best possible ripple effect.

I think everyone should be required a minimum of 2 years of Armed Forces service for the right to vote

So you browse the net at your leisure about such things when you can be bothered and then make a post or 2 about it? OK

Why are they sending a 60+ year old to Iraq?

Exactly. I'm not an American, but it doesn't matter - nothing should be mandatory, esp. if it originates from the Government in the form of 'duty' in whatever way or form

lol don't forget the library. It's a sacrifice in that my financial well being suffers, but It's great to know I have a better understanding of the nature of reality than millions of generations of humans before me (most likely).

Preemptive wars which are not even preemptive, but truly based on oil monies, wars to acquire the opium fields in Afghanistan.  These types of wars I am against.  I quit the CF when Canada started selling out to the Bush Administration and its lies.  If weapons of mass destruction were truly what were being sought, why not go for North Korea?  Furthermore, why is the US the only country in the world allowed to have WSMs?

It's also about perpetual conflict and constant profits reaped by the defense contractors.  They don't even care if we figure that out or not at this point.

Based on what I've seen from your posts about the Pineal glands and mushrooms, I'll have to politely disagree

don't forget Israel, they can have all the nukes they want but God forbid Iran or Syria has them.

Deep down, not one other Muslim country wants either of them with nukes either. They're just letting us go about it.

HAHAHAHAH!

lol I can create a torrential rainstorm of info through just one post about those two subjects if I wanted.

HAHAHAHAH!

Are you suggesting that anyone existing before the age of technology could possibly have had access to such information?

ps- if you do you believe in aliens & cosmic consciousness
