The General Political Thread

Hell I'm not going to fight. Fuck off with conscription. They can shoot a bullet through my head I don't care.

You have troubles working out what nationality you are, let alone that sort of decision.

Energy drinks are as bad as smoking.

Relax Mr Hitchens, it was only a one-off.

However, will age restrictions really prove effective at combating obesity in this manner, given that in 2017, 1 in 4 British adults and 3/10 minors (aged 2-15) were considered obese? IDs won't deter consenting adults or bad parents.

[AeroNinja]

Calm yourself keyboard warrior. We both know you'd shit your pants just before they'd pull the trigger.

Why should I be afraid of dying? Everyone dies. It's just a matter of time. If you get a bullet in your head, you won't feel any pain. It's a split-second and you are no more.

If you want to take up arms if they bring conscription in again and shoot people who leave family behind, well you do that then. I can't get it over my heart killing people.

That's actually a big compliment since PH is my idol 

IDs probably won't do much to deter people since these things are quite addictive, and most of it is due to terrible parenting anyway. But if you attack the problem from as many sides as people and build up marginal gains across the board then you'll see progress.

Freedom doesn't come for free my friend.

[Riddlez]

If you want to take up arms if they bring conscription in again and shoot people who leave family behind,

1. I wouldn't have to take up arms in a conscription event.
2. I'd rather shoot them than they shoot me.

Simple, if you don't go to war you can't get shot. Life isn't a movie where you can be a hero and save, shoot everyone you want.

Uh...

Uh... what? Whats the point in getting conscripted and not go to war...

With just my two years in the academy I cannot say to be a walking oracle, but you just ate the fucking cake on not knowing how an actual army works and what it means to be a soldier...

That's probably true if you're a Brit or living in NA/Oceania. If you're a continental European on the other hand...

What it means to be a soldier? Do you know what the americans besides shooting terrorists did? Pissing on innocent dead bodies, probably also raped a few. But oh yes media doesnt show this. And not only the Americans btw. There is no honor in being a freakin soldier friend. Its all about killing. And yeah you can come with, but what if your army doesnt protect you? I dont need someone to protect me so he has to kill others.

Including the US in that might be a bit of a stretch 

[DaMonkey]

I guess since we're on the subject, I voted no but not really because it's "against freedoms"; rather, it would be a disgrace to fight for our current Yankee empire.
