Yep, like almost every serious debate as of late. Nobody even noticed how we almost lost all of our internet freedoms here in the USA (which is still up for grabs).OtakupunkX wrote:I think it'll be interesting to see where this bill goes. Then again though, it's going to be overshadowed by all the immigration and gay marriage debate.
They want to go after the internet, which is the last available outlet for freedom of speech visible right now.
I honestly think we should be drafting people for public office, not the military. Think about it. The country would probably turn out better. Every year or two there's a new draft and all seats are refilled, with no one serving more than once. Make it harder for the cesspools and connections to form.

Exactly, and thus actually give decent positions a chance, other than rich party associated/connected chairmen.Osiris wrote:I honestly think we should be drafting people for public office, not the military.

The biggest problem throughout every damn age is that it costs so much money to run for a position of any which in the US Gov. practically, and the ones who have the money, run, and win the spot turn out 98% of the time to be the scum bags of course. Scum bags all connected, and partied around the same inside, or outside agenda.
