Now, let's just say that the unlikely event of needing a draft happened and the good ole' US started calling up men registered for the selective service and started putting them in the armed services.

In Vietnam, all the draft-dodgers ran to Canada. These days, however, it would be fairly simple to stay in this country and still dodge the draft. How? Easy! All you have to do is say "I'm sorry sir, I'm gay," and you're out! I bet even a dyed-in-the-wool homophobe would be willing to use this one if they decided to dodge the draft.

How would running to Canada help anyone dodge the draft? Canada may not belong to us yet but when we run out of trees down here; Hello 51st state!

You obviously know nothing about the environment, we are already out of trees, we went to Guatemala to get rainforest trees.

Tu reve en couleur, monsieur. It's not trees you're about to run out of, it's fresh water. 8 years, tops. Bet you'll feel really good putting the screws to your neighbours for something that doesn't belong to you.

Never trust an elf.

actually, i think cretien signed some thing to agree to send back or prosecute draft dodgers who come to canada.

try mexico.

and i'm very sorry.

Saying you are gay would only last so long.

Think about it, they call up 20 guys and all 20 say they are gay.....

Anyone who read the Freak Brothers probably remembers the strip where Fat Freddy gets called up for the draft. After trying unsuccessfully to get out of it with a bad back and flat feet, he says, 'There's one thing I forgot to tell you: I'm queer!' to which the recruitment officer says, 'Oh, that's okay! You can join Colonel so-and-so's Homosexual Battalion!'

I'm actually kind of surprised this hasn't been tried out already...

I have a plan, if the draft is instituted, to get my body weight up to 230 lbs. Now this would take a lot of eatin', but I'm sure I could spend a few dozen meal swipes on steak dinners at OSU's Blackwell Hotel.

The fat plan doesn't work. The army has "fat camps" to get people into shape.

That's why my plan is to protest the draft, and take whatever penalties are given to those that refuse to go. Plain and simple, I'll spend years in jail, rather than helping more people die.

But then again, they did a study recently and found that many of the current shortages in jobs in the armed services would not be shortages at all if they hadn't gotten rid of all the homosexuals.

Fine, just say "I've had homosexual thoughts..."

20/20 men do have said thoughts.

Well, there's always plan B, pretend to be insane.

if they don't believe that, then I must go to plan C, convince them I'm insane by gnawing my finger off.

I actually did hear a rumor that if you tell them how much you want to kill people and blow them up and shit, then they don't want you because you are a whack-job. Go figure.

They save those sorts of people for public office.

I think that's actually true...I've heard of people who got kicked out of the military for such.

Haha I can never serve in the military, for the following reasons:

homosexual

legally insane

and best of all I'm a CO (contientious objector)

Try Texas Air National guard

You do realise that you can convert salt water in fresh water right?

And the fact that the Aquifers are still pretty good.

GL, but ithink would rather go to the front than a prison. I think I would rather to a bullet to the head then a johnsen to the ass. Unless your gay; then youll probably have the time of your life!





ALL will fear the Drunken Mob of DOOM!

GL, but ithink would rather go to the front than a prison. I think I would rather to a bullet to the head then a johnsen to the ass. Canada, TJ or Europe are all better options...

But I'm gay

Congratulations! And welcome to the Army! Sure, the military hates you, and you run a good chance of being beaten to death in your sleep by your fellow soldiers, but that doesn't mean they won't draft you anyway! The military has a special policy called "stop gap" where they don't throw you out for being gay during wartime (well, unless you're dead). Lucky you!

I hope that last little bit was ment sarcastically :(

That sounds true and Logical. But i would rather die a horrible death then move out of this country. Thus proving i am legally insane. MUHAHAHAHAHAH! EAt BRiaNs!!! I AM FREE!! FREE I TELL YOU!!!!!!!!!! (and ineligable for draft. :) )

OK, I'm being a bit racist here, and this thought is probably really wacko, but when americans got mad at the french for not joining the war on Iraq, they called french fries 'freedom fries' instead of skipping off french fries altogether. My response: americans like food too much. If you want to invade Canada, Invade Quebec.

That's why my plan is to protest the draft, and take whatever penalties are given to those that refuse to go. Plain and simple, I'll spend years in jail, rather than helping more people die.

My hats off to you. We need more like you an fewer who are unwilling to take a hard, fast stand on principal. :)

Don't ruin it for the real gay guys!

try mexico.

go to the jail for a while, they got cable and free meals

or you can become a vagrant and wonder across the nation fora few years

You know, if you're that concerned about a draft, just register as a contientious objector.
