your ENTIRE LIFE, everything you own, your computer, your TV, your entire cushy american existance, DEPENDS on people fighting wars to allow you to keep all that!
but yeah, what has America ever done for you?
nothing really..No i don't, this country great. I went overboard with my statements because of a personal experience and people around me's experiences. I'm from new york city and the events of 9/11 struck me hard. You would think twice about fighting for any country if, like me, you knew people who died in 9/11. I was angry for a long time after that not just at the people that played the whole thing out, but at the fact that this country (unknowingly of course) let that happen. the things i said weren't based on facts.. just my anger. This country may have been good to you, but many people have been treated unfairly by this system. Its not perfect.[b said:Quote[/b] ]No one is agaisnt this country,

and as for the draft.. me fighting for any country depends on alot of things, but no government can make me fight for them.
OUCH!!![b said:Quote[/b] ]I would very easily take my own kneecaps, no running or hiding for me - I have a family. I can live with broken kneecaps
so taking away your freedom for the draft in a time when you don't need a draft and MAKING you "support" the war or go out there and kill people/be killed is freedom? I don't think taking away freedom to "protect" freedom is right. I could support the COUNTRY (supporting the war and supporting the country are two totally different things.) much better if there wasn't a draft.[b said:Quote[/b] ]oh, nothing much, except given you the FREEDOM to publicly espress your opinions, and only given you the BEST quality of living of ANY society in the entire history of the human race!
true... you should hear some of the things other countries say (I'm from mexico remember?)[b said:Quote[/b] ]We just make ourselves look bad

and I disagree that we have the highest standard of life. I really don't remember the name of this country... norway? it's an european country anyway... that is the richest country per person (the US is the richest partly because of it's size) and it even has a national surplus and not a national debt. people there also work less and are better off.
