| So I got some shit called selective service in the mail. What is this? Isn't this unconstitutional under the 13th amendment? Not to mention it's basically forcing you to volunteer. I don't want to go to war, like WTF? Do I need to sign this? | |

| Maybe America is forming a team of super heroes just like The Avengers and selected you to be a part of that team. You better come up with a cool name and costume design ASAP.

| ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh i remember this. your school should have done this. no you're not going to war.its basically in case of an emergency (like if the ruskies invade), they know you are available to be drafted. - Quote :
- The Selective Service System is an independent agency of the United States government that maintains information on those potentially subject to military conscription. Most male U.S. citizens and male immigrant non-citizens between the ages of 18 and 25 are required by law to have registered within 30 days of their 18th birthdays[2][3] and must notify Selective Service within ten days of any changes to any of the information they provided on their registration cards, like a change of address.[4] A 2010 GAO report estimated the registration rate at 92% with the names and addresses of over 16.2 million men on file.

| @Shig it's dated on July 16th and says I have ten days and I barley fucking received it! Good ol' ten days. It says i can call though so i might just do that since all info is correct. Also what if I don't want to sign it? America: land of the free and home of the brave.
Yeah I didn't know of this shit! lol also i corrected the name, padders had a blue name and toxic had yellow so i got them confused. | |

| they don't prosecute anyone for not doing it, but you're going to have to if you want to get anything done in your life.
but yeah this isn't just america. at least they ask you for your info in this country, lol. its pretty much required under all governments.
thats the definition of government, a monopoly on the use of force and coercion. |

| Lol I find it funny females don't have to register.
Yeah, this is USA, land of the free and last I checked freedom entitles choice, well at least real freedom does. not to mention they throw it on you and say they'll prosecutr you and/or fine you, and on top of that if you want to basically have a good job you have to have this, so they're basically forcing you to register. | |

| @chobo we did, this is just a database incase shit gets bad. - Quote :
- In the United States, conscription, also called "the draft", ended in 1973, but males between 18 and 25 are required to register with the Selective Service System to enable a reintroduction of conscription if necessary. President Gerald Ford suspended mandatory draft registration in 1975, but President Jimmy Carter reinstated that requirement when the Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan. Selective Service registration is still required of all young men although the draft has not been used since 1973

| Gerald Ford had the right mind by not making it mandatory. I understand it's a precaution if shit ever hits the fan, but we should have a choice a not be threaten to sign up. | |

| @Padders On the letter it says it's a federal crime punishable by fine and imprisonment, along with being unable to obtain citizenship, or federal benefits. At the end of the letter it says: - Quote :
- Our objective is to register you, not to have you prosecuted.
So yeah. It appears it's a forced on you by big brother type of shit. | |

| Time to covert to Islam and tell them it's against your religion. Note; you'll most likely be stripped of your world heavyweight title but it'll all come good in the end, you'll go down as a legend.
Jaden Smith will play you in the movie. | |

Whatever, I'm gonna go watch Red Dawn. WOLVERINES! | |
