Don't make me mute you again, KingAtomsizedBrain.

KA you should always talk in caps. It makes what you have to say more interesting.

I haven't slapped the shit out of you in a while, KA. And I get the chance to solo on the new guy's dead body?

Lemme in!

Thereisnodumbassbutme rejected my game, so I'm gonna need some new trolls to humiliate.

Good luck with that. Also +1 YJ, the caps make it funnier.

KA, giving you complete control of the forums would be like giving a baby a loaded millitary gun

Jeremiahg, I fail to see your comparison. A baby would be incapable of pulling a trigger and would therefore be incapable of doing any harm out of presumed ignorance. If it did manage to kill someone, if anything, it would merely teach the child to be comfortable around and respectful of powerful weaponry. If we taught all of our children with a 'hands on' approach as such, we would have no need for involuntary military service or very much gun control at all. Why yes, we'd be back to the good old days of the Wild, Wild West.

You don't have involuntary military service, you dumbfuck.

Sure we do... In theory. It's called selective service and every male in the US must sign up for it upon turning 18. the fact that we haven't had a draft since Vietnam doesn't mean we couldn't. The fact that they even collect the info means it is always under consideration. If it were truly no longer allowed to happen, there woudl be no selective service registration.

Yes, I was referring to previous military engagements that spurred drafts. Just because we have "enough" volunteers now doesn't mean that we still couldn't have a draft. GO AWAY BEFORE YOU CALL THE WRONG PERSON A DUMBFUCK TWICE!

King atom you idiot. My point is that it would be disasterious. and a baby is able to pull a trigger btw

THAT'S IT! I ISSUE A FORMAL CHALLENGE TO ALL WEBDIPLOMERS:
A FIGHT TO THE DEATH: gameID=102497
THE PASSWORD IS: 'SEXINTHECITY'

COME AT ME MOTHERFORNICATORS!

The real questin on the baby is: Woudl the noise scare the kid or would he/she lay there giggling as the bullets sprayed all around. And considering a baby's habit of sucking on theings while kcik and squeexing, the baby is quite likely to commit involuntary suicide with the barrel in his/her mouth and the feet on the trigger.

Gutless wonder... It's anon. A real challenge that proved something would be to play non-anon.

This comes from people who relish in their down-to-earth attitude. I guess all Englishmen know how to shoot a longbow because the law requiring it is still part of their judicialsystem.

There'sa difference between have and might have in the future, go ask obi on the details.

HOW'S THIS, DRAUGNAR?
gameID=102523

That was a clearly false analogy. Selective service registration is not only required but those who don't, while rarely prosecuted, are banned from ever receiving federal aide. this includes social security, medicare/medicade, unemployment benefits, disability, welfare, student loans and grants, everything. I seriously doubt that England has similar penalties for not learning to use a crossbow.

You should really research your subject before inserting your feet in your mouth and your head up your ass.

Longbow, you dumbfuck.

@KA - Join one of my invites. I don't join open games (non-passworded) as I don't like dealing with the inevitable NMRs and CDs that result.

Put one together with a list of players and then create it with a password.101 is good.

longbow, crossbow, stupid typo. The point is, what is the realistic penalty of not learning to use a longbow? The realistic penalty of not registering for selective service is denial of any student loans and grants and other federal benefits.

I believe the penalty is five years imprisonment, Draug.

I said realistic penalty. I.e. do they pursue and prosecute it. Oh, and I know how to use a long bow, despite being an American... I took archery in high school.

As far as selective service...

From wikipedia:

As an alternative method of encouraging registration, federal legislators passed laws requiring that to receive financial aid, federal grants and loans, certain government benefits, eligibility for most federal employment, and (if the person is an immigrant) eligibility for citizenship, a young man had to be registered (or had to have been registered, if they are over 26 but were required to register between 18 and 26) with Selective Service. Those who were required to register, but failed to do so before they turn 26, are no longer allowed to register, and thus may be permanently barred from federal jobs and other benefits, unless they can show to the Selective Service that their failure was not knowing and willful.[6] There is a procedure to provide an "information letter" by the SSS for those in these situations, for example recent citizens who entered the US after their 26th birthday.[28]

Most states, as well as the District of Columbia, Guam, Northern Mariana Islands, and Virgin Islands, have passed laws requiring registration for men 18–25 to be eligible for programs that vary on a per-jurisdiction basis but typically include driver's licenses, state-funded higher education benefits, and state government jobs.[29] Alaska also requires registration to receive an Alaska Permanent Fund dividend.[29] Eight states (Connecticut, Indiana, Nebraska, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Vermont, Washington, and Wyoming) as well as Puerto Rico have no such requirements, though Indiana does give men 18–25 the option of registering with Selective Service when obtaining a drivers license or an identification card.[29] The New York State Department of Motor Vehicles automatically registers young men 18-25 with the Selective Service as federally required, whenever they apply for driver licenses, learner permits, or non-driver identification cards.[30]

Just to let you know, Draug, I didn't doubt your credibility, but I do appreciate you giving my thread some room for legitimate discussion.

Those details of grammatical mood (obi would explain elaborately but w/e) are really important, believe me. Having a system that allows you to reintroduce draft (might have in the future) is quite different from a system that has draft (have). Denying this calls for rectification of names, otherwise you will start telling me that whole Europe has involuntary military service as well just because our national ID cards contain the same info as SSS registration and keeping the data outdated is also punishable. In fact, our involuntary military service is even more involuntary, since you won'teven wipe your ass out without your ID card.

Since you opted for TOW:
"The United States discontinued the draft in 1973, moving to an all-volunteer military force, thus there is no mandatory conscription. However, the Selective Service System remains in place as a contingency plan; men between the ages of 18 and 25 are required to register so that a draft can be readily resumed if needed.[1] In current conditions conscription is considered unlikely by most political and military experts.[2]"

Let me reiterate - KA, you don't have involuntary military service, you dumbfuck.

And enjoy your curfew - you know, since the law opens the possibility for curfew at some unspecified point in time, you surely have curfew right now like the draft.

@uly - I agree we don't have involuntary military service. But I was more pointing out that Selective Service (and failure to register) has a little bit more teeth to it than the longbow argument. I didn't realize Europe's national ID systems required maintaining up to date info. Here in the US, once you turn 26, you can go off the grid competely legally. States don't require IDs and social security doesn't have to be updated until you decide to collect from it. SS is the only way we have to keep track of 18-26 year old males with an absolute certainty.

Ulytau is a commie. I'm muting you, you stupid commie.

+1 for humor

Bump to join my games.

I agree the longbow argument was cheeky but since we reached an agreement, history will judge me mercifully.

And yes, you are obliged to apply for a new ID in 15 days after an item on it has changed in the Czech Republic. Since the IDs are more and more standardized in the EU, other member states will have it pretty similar.

So Big Brother is watching you even more in the EU than in the US. Interesting.

If all Big Brother wants is name, address, marital status, date of birth, sex and personal number, I'm OK with him.

bump

That's all theu want now. Then soon they will want blood type and following close on that will be mandatory blood donations. Finally they will start visiting in the middle of the night and harvest organs.
