So i was watchin CNN w/ my dad and there was a Rep. (i forget his name, but he was an African-American Representative) and he was talking on the situation of how the U.S. Army is becoming very thin as more and more soldiers are deciding to leave once they are able to. The Rep. talking brought up a very good point that's very interesting. The idea of a draft has been floating around the news, its obviously not going to happen anytime soon if it does, but this man has a very good veiw. He supports the idea of the draft right now because he thinks it will bring an end to the war. His theory is the war is being faught by the poor, basically because high ranking gov't officials, CEO's, high class people, etc. wont have their children sent over to possibly die in a war, but at the same time they support the war. He feels that once a draft comes about, all these people that currently support the war will demand that the war be stopped in responce to the threat of their children being sent to the front lines. Although these people support the war, once there is a threat that their children will be sent to war (and a draft means U HAVE TO GO. nobody can get by it, unless u know what ur doing. and of course our current president and vice president both got around the draft by joining the reserves during the time of Vietnam...god bless america) they will demand that the war be stopped. and with many very influential people demanding a stop to the war, the war will end. this is his theory and i really like it
What do u think?

Very simple, see
If a draft happens congressmen's or any other high ranking gov' member's children just mysteriesly wont get selected

Exactly. Money and power will grant you that privilege.
I don't think we should bring a draft just to end the Iraq War because there's no certainty that the war will end after the draft is authorized. The draft should only be used in time of an emergency and I don't see the Iraq war as one.

thats what i was thinking, like what i meant was that its a good idea in theory but that powerful people will find ways to bribe and get around it. once their able to do this, it will be a matter of the upper-middle class, the middle class and still again, the poor

With a draft "always on" people will think twice before supporting a war. When "other people" do the war duty they'll more than likely support it more because it doesn't affect them.

you mean mexico
Canada dosent want you
were at war to our guys are dying out there right now and we want this war over NOW but thats just not gonna happen
Enlistment in Canada is actually really high
and so far the deserters that have come to canada have been deported back to america
were under a conservative government and our own guys are dying
we wont take deserters
-shrug-
I think the idea of a draft is retarted
but then again Canada dosent have one
we tried it....it almost brought us to civil war during world war 2...that would have been...bad
see in america if your government asks you to join enlistment is low so they draft you and it sky rockets
in canada when the government asks for men and women enlistment sky rockets but if they ever try a draft it plumets and leads to MAJOR civil unrest

i do not support a military draft.
mainly because i might be one of them, and i couldnt imagine being forced to go into a life threatening situation.
i do support war though...obviously not some VERY insensible fight, but anything else. that is because war solves a lot of problems that cant be solved without it.

cowardly, sure...thats what you might thinks its called, but i just see it as logic...selfish, no.

"Fine, you won't do what we want so we'll send our exhausted military whose resources are already stretched incredibly thin in Iraq, which we don't plan to leave, at you."
This is basically our current situation with Iran. It will result in the draft.

Nice opinions there, they won't do you any good in a debate team. I don't think all people are ignorant and stupid, I merely see who is. I hate Bush because he's a greedy asshole who hides behind Christianity to get what he wants. Please prove to me this country is greater than any other. Also prove to me that the draft will not be started in around five years.
How much you wanna bet this guy's actually Phantom? He certainly acts the same way. Responding with nothing but insults rather than facts. Next he is going to say he already defeated my argument before it was presented earlier in thread. After that I'll tell him he can just quote this evidence against my argument because I don't feel like searching for it, if it even exists. He will then begin using large amounts of profanity in his frustration at his inability to logically counter my argument.

anyways.
if you want little girl, then we can make a bet (with a lot of money of course) that on April 19, 2012, that we will not have started a military draft in the United States.
You like me to prove things, so im going to ask you to prove something.
first, ill start off by answering your other request because im a person who doesnt just leave things alone when they shouldnt be by saying that i cant prove that the US is the greatest country on the planet, because its my opinion.
secondly, can YOU prove that Bush is a greedy asswhole? No. Do you know why? Because its your own opinion. In my opinion, hes not a greedy asswhole. In my opinion, greedy asswhole can mean super cool guy, which in that case, you think he is a super cool guy.
thirdly, he doesnt hide behind his religion. He, along with many other Americans, is religious. He is not going to go against his religious views only because 8th graders think hes a meany-head. Also, he wouldnt have been elected by legalized requirement meeting Americans, if they didnt like his views on issues.
Learn to deal with it and stop trying to make a school project about wanting Bush to get impeached with reasons that you think are logical. You may not have ever done that, but i know girls who did and they are very similar to you in their thinking.

It's pretty stupid for anyone to say that they don't support our troops. Do you really think they want to be there? My personal view is that we should just pull out of the war. Nothing is going to happen--everyone thinks that we are going to have some huge attack for pulling out, but i mean we have done enough. We got way off track to begin with and we are not getting anywhere as of late. Heh...oh well i dont really care.

I don't really like Bush as a president, but saying that he hides behind Christianity is far fetched. You are a pseudo intellect with absolutely no ideas that you have crafted yourself. AND actually, im wondering how the hell ISNT the usa the strongest nation in the world. That's such as joke. The USA has the strongest military and advanced machinery/weapons to go along with it. There is no other nation that could surpass America's greatness. How else would America have become so spoiled?

Puhlease, like your arguments are legit? "Bush hides behind his christianity.."
I'd say that is an ignorant statement for anyone to say about Bush who doesn't know him personally. Did it occur to you that Bush doesn't write his own speeches, he hardly has his own ideas that he can use, and that he has a 1000+ staff being the brain for him?

because, we (as in the USA) are the all around strongest nation in the world, and most of our nations problems can be solved with some form of war, whether that be physical or mental.
also, many good things have come out of war:
"Except for ending Slavery, Fascism, Nazism, and Communism, War has never solved anything"
thats is a great quote and basically defeats any person's argument on why war is bad. now, you might try and tell me that there is still Slavery, Fascism, Nazism, and Communism in todays world, but it is so highly reduced as it was before, and almost extinguished, that we consider it to be gone.

War kills tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands. Urban warfare kills mostly civilians. Constantly being at war and having a standing army is at the heart of the military industrial congressional complex. War diverts funds from public health, scientific research (other than weapons research), education, and improving environmental standards. War puts all parties involved in a state of political unrest. War always involves greed on the behalf of political leaders and corporations. War creates more hate. War hurts the economy. War causes suffering at home, as well as in the invaded nation. I can go on for ten minutes, but it would be pointless if you ignored all of these.

Fascism hmm now that's hard, ever country in the world and in total I'm sure the number of fascists is close to a billion
Racism let's see my entire country is racist for some reason, and our biggest rolemodel is the US. I cant speak for the rest of the world but...

I totally agree. I think we should get out of this war, now. Also that we should help the people, but not force democracy on them, because more of the people in Iraq right now hate the US for interfearing so much with their lives. I believe that we should allow them the kind of government they want and support them with that.

also here is some stats on the war in iraq that i learned yesterday
90% of the american people want us out of iraq
2/3 of the iraqi people want us out

Omg I just found a new signature! Also, how do you figure it jumps from five zeros to three zeros between tens and hundreds of thousands. Correctly calculated 100,000 is 0.0015% of the population and 10,000 is 0.00015%. Learn your low level math before you try to use numbers on me. You didn't address any other point, either.

oh wait, thats right. you DONT live in Africa.
secondly, my "town" wouldnt be in the city. we;d be evacuated. but lets say it still happened and we didnt expect it. then i would hide under a bed, and they'd never see me. simple. i also wouldnt cry like a little baby, but you would be.
also, what country invades countries in Africa on a daily basis. if you dont know the answer, then you might as well admit that it really doesnt happen and that what i quoted from your statement is false. well your first 2 points are just speculation you cant say for sure that it would happen.Im speaking hypothetically here."If your town was invaded", is the scenerio here. So your unpenetratable fortress of security would be hiding under a bed while soilders killed and raped your family and neighbours? good luck with that. Seeing as how your probably a little kid or something like that ill write off your immature little "i also wouldnt cry like a little baby, but you would be." comment. And for who invades africa on a daily basis its mostly civil and tribal wars taking place. However entire villages are destroyed and all the people inside killed.So nice try.

actually, im right, your wrong.
the correct display on the calculator is...
10000/6,500000000
1.538461538E-6
which equals 0.0000015 rounded to the nearest millionth
im in Advanced Algebra 2 just to let you know, so dont tell me that im in a low level of math.
further advice, dont try to beliddle someone by their math skills anyways, and always make sure that you are right before you look like an asswhole to a thousand people.

Guess what, I'm right. When one method doesn't add up properly use another.
Divide 6,500,000,000 by 10,000 then multiply by .00015. Your answer will be 97.5. If we had the original unrounded decimal it would turn out exactly 100. Yours turns out less than one.
Another method, find what .00001% of 6,500,000,000 is. It happens to be 65,000. Multiply this by 10,000 and you get 6,500,000,000.

It's spelled don't, belittle, and asshole.

Both of you, calling eachother stupid is not debate. If I see it again it's infractions.

I didn't call him stupid, I just proved he has horrible math skills and laughed at him when he changed the subject and requested that everyone ignore me because I am ruining the forum.
