"In 1971, the Military Selective Service Act of 1967 was amended to make registration compulsory; all males had to register within a period 30 days before and 29 days after their 18th birthday [and that was in effect until March 29, 1975, when President Ford suspended registration]. However, on July 2, 1980, President Carter signed Proclamation 4771, Registration Under the Military Selective Service Act, retroactively re-establishing the Selective Service registration requirement for all 18–26 year old male citizens born on or after January 1, 1960. . . Under current law, all male U.S. citizens are required to register with Selective Service within 30 days of their 18th birthday. In addition, foreign males between the ages of 18 and 25 living in the United States must register. . . In 1980, men who knew they were required to register and did not do so could face up to five years in jail or a fine up to $50,000 if convicted. The potential fine was later increased to $250,000." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Selective_Service_System

Haven't seen the movie yet, but from what I've heard, Tillman's willingness to sacrifice stands in stark contrast to those who were in uniform and fled to Canada, to avoid doing their duty, and who now support the War Resisters League. Originally Posted by I B Hankering

You do realize our government lied about how he died. It took all the resources his family had to learn the truth. A sad page in the history of the special forces. Just like they lied about Jessia Lynch and her rescue. He was part of that and knew it to be BS.

Here is another good video on the Tillman's.

It does say that, but you more than suggested that you "turned 18" in 1978 (1960 + 18yrs ='s 1978) here:

Why the fuc would I register?

It was 1978 and we had no draft , no war and I had no good reason to join the military. Somebody has to actually work to pay the salary of folks that got hired for that job. I was one of those folks. Originally Posted by WTF

I never said I turned 18 in '78. You assumed it but I never said it.


Admit it, you can be wrong every now and again. No biggie. I wasn't even trying to trick and could hardly remember the law until you pulled it up! But I lived it and remembered that some of my classmates did have to sign up. The younger ones...

Has anyone mentioned CAIR supporting this? CAIR is an extreme muslim group. All those poor hippies are being used. How could any American be on the same side as Muslim extremest? I can promise you no self respecting hippie that has a brain at all would be caught dead in the middle of that. http://townhall.com/tipsheet/katiepa...ist_group_cair

There are other links but I don't have time to post them.

Also the guy that started this (according to my research) is Jed Brandt (that bald communist.)

What I find extremely interesting about these protests is...Last year Beck said this would happen about now. One more thing that guy has been right about.

Kayla, just saw your showcase and read your website. I love you. Come to Wichita!

Oh, yeah, on topic. I still don't think the OWS crowd knows what they're about. Ann Coulter said there are three differences between the Tea Party and the OWS. Tea Partiers have 1. a job, 2. a shower, and 3. a point.

Ann Coulter is Rush Limbaugh's bastard child.



Both movements started out bitching about Wall Street getting bailed out. The Tea Folks have done gone and gotten in bed with the GOP. I'm sure OWS will do the same with the dem's and the fat cats are laughing all the way to the bank!

Won't disagree. I just thought it was a funny line. The Tea Partiers have been more orderly, but Republicans are duller on average.

Anyone who has spent anytime on that site knows there is no compromise with common sense. Ann Coulter is a whore who doesn’t have to fuck anymore. Every single contributor (paid) ignores any fact that goes against what they say. The posters are some of the most racist and bigoted I have ever seen or heard from. They repeat lies that have long been proven as such and attack any and all that that disagree. Anne of PA and Retired Geek, DG, firefox22, etc just to name a few.
There are many I disagree on ECCIE but the worst comes nowhere near the pure shit that flows from townhall.

I seldom have used the terms racist and bigot on this site. Those terms are the flavor of the day on townhall. Their presence is so accepted and acknowledge by the regulars, authors (not all but many) and posters (most but not all) that it is physically sickening to read and pointless to respond or offer rebuttal. Everyone on this board knows I have no problem responding or rebutting to anything I feel like commenting on, be I right or wrong. There is no point in doing so on townhall.

By the way, I am here in the Bay area. Last night the Police in Oakland attacked some occupiers. Occupiers who were staging a peaceful demonstration. They had jobs, they were as clean as circumstances permit, and their point is raising awareness of several different causes. 2 of them who were EMTs during the day, managed to stop the police from firing a second point blank shot, non-lethal of course, into the skull of a 2 tour veteran of Iraq. Their courage to confront and stop the “good guys” from killing one of our nation’s heroes probably wasn’t reported in Wichita. . You talk a good game about others being gullible and naive. Look in the mirror.

If you can.

The veteran is in critical condition.

What's the problem, Munch? I don't like racism. And there is no way in hell I would support law enforcement shooting a peaceful demonstrating veteran.

I don't support OWS, but I also don't support efforts to shut them down. If they get violent first, LE needs to use only the force required to restore order. If LE gets violent first, we are in trouble. Then we have Kent State on a greater scale.

OWS has the right to assemble, and petition the government. I have the right to peacefully disagree.

Not sure what your point was, Munch.

"Occupy Wall Street"?

I find it mildly disturbing that people get treated that way: What is wrong with some forces? Some friends of mine are very active in the movement , some others are working on wall street and some are against it. I am kind of in the middle . I see the points and it makes sense in the USA. To transfer that movement to europe - like it happened - makes less sense for me :-))

and here is an interesting article on "More Anthropologists on Wall Street"

"No leadership"???? saw a leader on MSNBC bragging about Move-on.org sponsoring the OWS movement! a few socialists, a few communists, and George Soros leading the parade!! and Acorn survivors!

It has nothing to do with communism too. All those poor hippies are being used? Unlike you of course :-))) (lol)

For example - i am not a feminist, i am a queer theoretician , but i was participating in a few slutwalks . There are plenty of feminists also supporting the idea of a slutwalk, that does not mean all slutwalkers are feminists. Its probably what i`d call a "common denominator" within several ideas. To support socialist ideas and be against banks explointing recklessly is nothing to be judged as evil. IMHO.

Hearing such derogatory things out of the mouth of a person who is labeled as an outcast makes me wonder and shiver. You are an escort, you suffer from the exact same drawbacks these people worry about. How can you state such BS about fellow human beings? I mean, sorry to say, but where does having an opinion that is formed by actual proofing of facts come from. All this yada yada about the "loosers" who are in that movement is simply not true. I don`t know anyone so far who does "not" have a job and who is lazy or whatnot. SOme just go for the principles. And you guys here acting as if they were dropping an atomic bomb over your homes leaves me speechless!!! Its unbelievable!! I wonder what happened to all of you when REAL problems are coming and knock on the door :-))) (lol)

What is wrong with supporting a more social idea and less exploitative banking system. Did you even realize that your whole economy and system of education is based on debts and debts and loaning? The banks and this system fucked over each and every one of you because there were no security measurements (like in europe are), and you still think those people stand on the street for nothing and are all hippies? My god..... There are ECONOMISTS out there who are supporting such ideas. And it was only a matter of time until this system collapsed. So, even if i am critical about the movement for several reasons (none of the ones you guys mentioned) i still can`t believe all the things i see and hear here out of the mouth of some. And specially from escorts who screw middleclass or upper class people for a living, because they are not part of that system. Are you even aware why it is possible to even be an escort? Hello?





so and the fact that all of you guys are so damn "tense" makes me post something funny :-)
