True Sports Confession

A child heavily involved in sports, volunteer projects, and other school-integrated programs will simply not have the time to drink, smoke, and have ungodly amounts of sex.

ROFL - you're telling other people not to engage in ungodly amounts of sex?

I'm sorry, I just found that funny ;D

First, I'd appreciate it if you'd save the racist remarks for your reactionary buddies somewhere else. I know you have tolerance problems, but try to control it.

Second, we don't REQUIRE our nations's children to participate in athletics or other programs because this is America and you can do what you want. The same goes for military and civil service. What is it with this totalitarian wet dream of yours?

Apparently you never went to public school. Of course children are forced to participate in athletic programs - or have you just never heard of PE?

Dude, don't be such a dork. Sex, drinking and partying kick ass. My proposal is to let people do what they want.

Indeed.....probably the biggest challenge at field training will be 28 days without alcohol

BTW Owen, have you checked out the Libertarian platform? I can give you the link if you want....you sound pretty much like one of them.

Oh, that's a wonderful idea. Sex, drugs, and parties are the solutions to all the worlds troubles.

Good. They should. Maybe people could finally get off their asses and do something with their miserable lives - or failing that, at least avoid becoming a lard ass.

Libertarians have a few good ideas. Unfortunately, their unnatural obsession with the individual and their lack of concern for the national good reduces their principles into self-glorified hedonism. That's a shame.

Actually, they have many good ideas

I think you forget how strong a federalist and nationalist I am because you are so far on the extreme

But after talking to my friends and ROTC Major today, I realized how much of a neo-conservative I actually am. Advocating things like war with PRC, Syria, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Egypt and North Korea aren't exactly popular stances these days. Neither is the desire to kick basically every country out of the WTO

Where I disagree with you is when you become increasingly authoritarian. I want a world of American superiority where the Constitution is the law of the land and the rights of our citizens are preserved. As for everyone else's rights - they come a distant second.

I am not authoritarian. I am an executive-federalist.

To maintain our Constitution and our Republic requires service, responsibility, and loyalty. We are faced with the problem that people are naturally inhibited by idleness and that, as a republic, we cannot force citizens to do a damned thing.

I have long advocated extensive volunteer programs in everything from education to military service that provide a wide variety of incentives, responsibilities, and advancements, encouraging the individual to excel in his or her particular interests and capacities within the greater context of our Republic.

That's all.

Haha, well I guess it depends on what your definition of "volunteer" is.

Hey btw Chris I think I'm gonna be able to visit you again in July, if you're home. I'm going to Field Training from 25 July - 25 Aug and I need to fly through Denver before going to South Dakota for FT. I was thinking about maybe flying to Denver a few days early so that we could meet up. Lemme know if you'll be home.

Besides, we all know how much you love DIA ;D

Worry about yourself Chris! Some kids might not like sports and might want to sit in their rooms and play guitar or something. If they want to be a lard ass then that's their thing.

Where does this hatred come from? Just chill and act your age.

"I'm a National Libertarian! No, wait! I'm an Executive Federalist! No wait! I just hate gays and anyone I deem lazy! I hate overweight people and anyone who doesn't fit into my model of a good American! I sound like a complete NAZI, but I swear I'm all about liberty!"

Here's the dictionary definition of liberty:

Liberty

a. The condition of being free from restriction or control. b. The right and power to act, believe, or express oneself in a manner of one's own choosing. c. The condition of being physically and legally free from confinement, servitude, or forced labor.

You have alot to say, but I'm convinced more and more that it's just the hateful ramblings of a misguided youth.

There was mandatory PE at the private Catholic highschool I went to. Some kids did it half assed, others enjoyed it.

The point remains the same - kids were forced to participate in athletic activity.

In my high school, it wasn't enough to do PE. In fact, there really was no such thing. You had to pick a sport to play every season (Fall, Winter, Spring) and could not get exempt unless you played for another team, e.g. town and travel leagues.

Personally, I'm a huge advocate of forcing kids to participate in physical activity. When a large portion of the youth become obese by age NINE, clearly we need to take steps to correct that. As big a fan of personal liberty as I am, I'm not going to watch as our nation gets fatter and fatter and adds incredibly high costs to our health-care system.

MY philosophy (as is that of the Libertarians) is that you can do whatever you want so long as it doesn't interfere with other human beings. Fat people cannot simply say its their "right" to fucking eat whatever they want and then expect Medicare/caid to pay for their fat ass.

Sorry for the rant there - this is just one of my most passionate issues. I remember last week when I was out running, I ran past this obese woman who was smoking and eating KFC. I never wanted to kill someone so badly as I did then...
