rtcvb32: Any law that breaks the constitution is not lawful. As such we outnumber the government at least 10,000 to 1. Sorry, but if we all disagree, then we simply override it. The nation cannot exist without it's people.
May not have been lawful, but it sure did work for World War II, now didn't it? Nobody overrided it back then, and nobody overrided it when the draft was reinstituted later on in time. rtcvb32: I'll try. While reading technical information on computers and programming is fun for me, not so sure about history.
Please do. Based on what you've said, you really could learn a whole lot from history, because some of the things you've suggested are things that have already been tried and proven not to work. Those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it, as George Santayana has said.
tinyE: He's reached A LOT OF PEOPLE in here.
Just not the way he intended, and I'm not being silly here.
Any other place and in any other fashion, some of his arguments might have been, at the very least, taken into consideration by some of us, but when you throw them out there the way he does it automatically causes most folks to reject them regardless of their veracity. If he was to come in here with that fucking attitude of his and tell everyone the world was round, there would be no doubt some people here tempted to join The Flat Earth Society.
That's basically what I was getting at in post #1178. He's literally undermining his whole purpose by presenting his arguments so poorly that the majority are inclined to believe the opposite of what he says.Just not the way he intended, and I'm not being silly here.
