Originally posted by jack90210 View PostWhere did I say they dodged a draft? The net result is the same - no military service. They could have joined if they wanted to but didn't and also there was plenty of ways for women to participate in the military when Hilary was of age if she was wanted to.
Involuntary i.e. drafted military service is another kettle of fish. Kennedy and Bush Snr were genuine war heroes.
Trump and Clinton took the cowards way out."We are not Europeans. Those people on the continent are freaks."

Ye cunce arguing over the draft and military service, attending wars to kill the yellow man. Are you in favour of any of this, or is it just a stick?
Talk about something useful like what you had for tea."Gibney might be the greatest hero of our time." (Keane, 2012; Hitchhiker, 2017)
"Frank Gibney, he's my favourite ." (careca, 2012)

Bur getting out out of a draft (namely the lads in question) to cover your ass is not the same as objecting.
I'm not particularly in favour of military conscription, but it's a huge part of the US military - so that's the rules Americans, in particular the commander in chief, have to play by.Last edited by Mellor; 18-02-18, 23:47.

When the public is too familiar with these words, they become less clinical and more pejorative - so they sterilize is by making a new term. But it's rinse and repeat. Intellectual disability is the current preferred term. I imagine it will be derogatory in 20 years time.

Until the head of the nra or a powerful gop members has their kid mowed down nothing will change and even then it’s still a coin toss as to if they will flip sides.

The_Donald had this to say:
And our favourite cheeto flavoured human had this nugget to add:
While there, he joked with the police officer who arrested Nikolas Cruz, the 19-year-old suspected shooter who reportedly plans to plead guilty to 17 counts of premeditated murder.
"That was so modest, I would have told it much differently," Trump said to the officer. "I would have said without me, they never would have found him."

Originally posted by careca View PostTrip report?
We all met up in the airport at 6:30AM for some pre flight pints ahead of the 8:40AM flight. Some more beers on the plane over and we touched down in Schipol just after 11AM Dutch time. From there it was a train into the centre and a tram out to Liedesplein to check into our hotel (Hotel Vondel) which was a cool little spot. Once checked in, we hit the hotel bar for a few beers as it was at least 60 minutes since we had one. From there we headed to a cool bar I'd lined that had loads of pool tables and darts board and whiled away several hours with drunken pool/Darts.
When we had our fill of that, we grabbed dinner in a nice little steak place and from there it was onto a cafe for spliffs and space cakes. One of the waitresses working there was a right little Hitler whose personality did not suit the vibe of the place so we bailed with our new purchases after about 45 minutes. From there it was a pub crawl mostly around the red light district which included us being asked to leave one pub as we'd pretty much made most of their other customers leave due to us being very rowdy. The final straw was an epic recreation of the lift scene from dirty dancing that went very wrong and may have resulted in some damage to fixtures and fittings. I have zero idea how we went from spliffs and space cakes to dirty dancing but at the time it seemed like a logical leap.
The final pub of the crawl was great. The tunes were banging out, the type of pub where they welcome 10 lads off their face, screaming and roaring (you couldn't call it singing) all the words to each song. By midnight, we were starting to have the odd casualty so we headed for the hotel. Rounding up 9 drunken, off their faces, messes of humans is not easy but I somehow managed to do it and everyone made it back alive. From there some crashed and the balance hit up an RnB Hip Hop club night in Paradiso that I had sorted tickets to. It was brilliant but after an hour and a half, we were all bunched and hit the sack. A 20+ hour bender wasn't the worst start to a stag.
Saturday was a slightly slower start with beers not commencing until a bit later than Friday and that was after a good feed at breakfast, a power nap and a shower. But we soon picked up the pace and after about 4 hours in a bar in Leidseplein, we headed back towards the red light district where I'd lined up a sports bar for some FA Cup action. The bar wasn't great but they were cool with us smoking spliffs and taking mushrooms so we stayed for a few hours before hitting a better sports bar for the Utd match. At this stage a few people were watching Schalke playing thinking they were watching Utd, the magic of the cup is strong when two Germans teams make the 5th round!!
From there, it was more of pub crawl until we all lost the will to continue at around 3:30am
Sunday morning was rough as fuck but in my messed up state, I had managed to arranged luxury taxis from the hotel and the airport. Worked out at only a tenner a head and was a genius option over having to handle the trams/train. I actually Don't think I would have been able to operate that even though it's proper simple.
A couple of beers in the airport and a good nap on the plane and before we knew it, we were back in Dublin. We all said our goodbyes and headed for home until there was a suggestion of one last pint, taxi's were diverted and that one last pint turned into about 5 before several of the group were summoned to come home.
Overall, it was great banter. Great bunch of lads having a lot of good craic. There was also the odd inappropriate joke. My favourite beingSPOILERFisting being rebranded as the Jackson 5

I've not been around much the last while but anytime I check in Jack is on a rampage, what brought your seeming descent into madness?
You are sounding exactly like a friends brother (post below) I posted in here awhile back about how to debate with him, he's subsequently deleted me off Facebook for not being able to deal/discuss topics I'm imaging.
"Yo folks, I've not been very active on the site the last while but when I checked from time to time I seen some political stuff about Trump etc, got pretty caught up with it all and my Twitter went from following pornstars & page 3 models to activists/political commentators/journalists etc.
I've had some debate/discussion with a friends brother on Facebook and he seems to have gone from being a liberal to a right wing. Lot of Breitbart articles/Fox News and he likes Tucker Carlson, trying to keep a healthy debate going but my brain hurts if I try to read it it's too toxic. How do I engage with him without meting my brain?"Last edited by tylerdurden94; 19-02-18, 12:47."you raise, i kill you" El Tren :{)

Trying to influence things you can’t control is a downward negative spiral that too many of us get caught up in. Take a tip from top performers in lots of different fields they have their own script and metrics by which they judge themselves and the world they create around themselves and it’s something we could all learn from.‘IF YOU had not committed great sins, God would not have sent a punishment like me upon you.” Genghis Khan

Can you elaborate on this a little more? "Take a tip from top performers in lots of different fields they have their own script and metrics by which they judge themselves and the world they create around themselves and it’s something we could all learn from."

Listening to a podcast the other day and they were talking about how if it all turns out to be a fugazi about Russian collusion then what's the legal grounds for impeachment when/if he obstructed justice?
Outside of all the Russia stuff it's been something week in week out since taking office, an absolute clusterfuck of a situation.
Think it was you who awhile back linked to this article and now last week the story coming out about another alleged affair with a former Playboy model with AMI catching and killing stories about Trump."you raise, i kill you" El Tren :{)
