I want to enlist.

[Mad World]

Seriously?
I'm not.
As a matter of fact, taking into consideration the rest of your post (I recognize you now, incidentally! Hello! Hiii! ) I'm confused as to why you would.
You must believe your God either
A Made me this way

OR

B Created circumstances that would result in me being this way.
So either way, you should believe it was your God's plan.
(No I am not even making fun of you. But it just makes sense from a religious standpoint.)

Well, God does know everything that will happen (He is omniscient). And, He is able to utilize evil for good. But, that doesn't mean I shouldn't feel sorry for someone with impaired cognition.

God didn't make you this way. He merely knew you would be like this.

I enjoy when other people suffer at my hand?
I honestly cannot get much more elaborate than that.
Everyone has things that amuse them.

Some people like to draw.
I personally enjoy writing and causing other people to suffer.

I see. And, do you really see nothing wrong with that? Your average person would have an issue with that, but I'm sure you're already aware of that.

That's a little more difficult to argue against since God never seems to want to engage in conversation with me.

This may sound corny, but you should try praying. Like, really praying - really meaning it. See if He reveals anything to you. He may not instantaneously do so, but I'm sure He will... in due time.

I could apply the same to you or millions (billions, actually) of other people.

Well, I provided a reason as to why I believe what I do (God), so I was wondering if you could offer your logic.

I don't know what country you live in, but I live in America, and Florida in particular.

Education is right behind "racial tolerance" and "alternative lifestyle tolerance" in the "Big List of Things Florida Thinks Can Go Fuck Themselves."

I am being very serious.

I live in Canada - British Columbia, to be more specific.

While I do have some issues with the educational system, I do consider it to have many positive aspects.

Isn't Canada a capitalist nation? I know its more left than America, but so is just about everyone these days.

If its a socialist nation and I'm just ignorant about it, then go ahead and join.

If its a capitalist nation, I don't see why a good commie like yourself would join.

Canada is capitalist, but in the event of invasion I want to protect the people I care about.

Join if its invaded. That's what my plan is if America is invaded

The Communists in my country joined during WWII to help stop the Nazis, and I'd like to at least attempt to follow in their stead.

I want to be in the reserves.

The good thing about the reserves is that you can maintain another job or at least you won't be spending as much time away from your family. The reserves seem to be a good choice.

Actually its a mixed economy.

You're right, can't deny that. Still, in my opinion any amount of capitalism is bad.

But that's not going to stop me from protecting the people I care about.

Well, from what I have interpreted, every gov't type works and doesn't work. Life will go on...sadly the media tends to be biased by money from corporations. Whoever's wallets are going to get thinner are the first to sound the witch hunt. It's these types of pressure groups, lobbyists and party contributors that make the media a tool of power for those who have it. Too bad too that our 2nd level opposition is really just bandwagoners, eh? I personally like the idea of a safety net...not like my quality of life is any less than the next American Jones due to extra taxation. Tell you what though, If you make a topic on favorite gov't types, let me know and I'll bring my two cent's on the issue.

 

[Mad World]

I am too am sorry to hear that you love something.

What do you mean? I don't love the fact that he has suffered psychological damage.

Which is why I just brought up religion.

In order to substantiate my claims, I had to bring up religion.

It's fine if you don't believe in god, as long as you still believe that "he" still gets to decide the moral code of the universe.

That doesn't make sense; if someone doesn't believe in God, they can't believe that God gets to decide the universe's moral code.

So do I.

What?

Likewise, I'm still having great issues trying to understanding why you believe what you do. Do you just like to be annoying? Do you enjoy attention? Or, do you honestly believe the claims that you have presented to be true?

I have already stated why I believe what I do. I believe in God, and believe in His absolutely perfect views of right and wrong.

I AM THE BEST SPINNER IN THE WORLD AND NOBODY CAN TELL ME OTHER WISE. I PRACTICE SPINNING AROUND ALL DAY LONG, BECAUSE IT IS IN FUN, AND IN THE END, THAT'S ALL THAT REALLY MATTERS. IF YOU DO NOT ENJOY LIFE AS I DO ENJOY SPINNING AROUND IN CIRCLES THAT YOU HAVE NO REASON TO LIVE LIFE, THIS IS TRUE. I LIKE TO SPIN AROUND IN MY ROOM, AND I LIKE TO SPIN AROUND OUTSIDE IN A FIELD. SOMETIMES I FIND FRIENDS AND WE SPIN AROUND TOGETHER AND WE TALK ABOUT THINGS THAT DON'T REALLY MATTER BUT THAT IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT BECAUSE THINGS THAT DON'T MATTER MATTER EVEN MORE THAN THINGS THAT DO.

Whoa! You're the best spinner? In the world?

What about all of the other spinners? How were you able to compare them to yourself?

I'm intrigued... you should show us all your crazy spinning abilities via a YouTube upload.

Do it... now! I demand it.

Hey, stop making fun of me.

It's okay if you can't respect my illustrious ability to spin, but there is not need to be immature about it.

And get that emoticon shit otta here. You're trying to say that you're just kidding with me and that you just wanna be friends, WE'LL GUESS WHAT MISTER, THIS NOT LAUGHING MATTER. THIS SEROUS BUSINESS. I AM NOT INTERESTED IN JUST WANTING TO BE FRIENDS, I HAVE MULTITUDE OF FRIENDS THANKYOUVERYMUCH.

I don't want to be friends.

I also wasn't trying to be rude; I was just entertaining your silliness.

Don't be a hypocrite... you've been immature this entire time.

*Snip, comrade*

You're only motivation for joining is to protect those that you love, but people don't fight wars using conventional tactics these days, they use terrorist attacks (911, the London subway bombings, etc.) that the army can't defend against. If on the off chance that Canada were ever actually invaded you'd probably have to fight anyway, no matter why you wanted to fight.

 

[Zaksav91]

I'm an american and I respect the canadian military. They actually did quite a bit in WW2 and they have been able to take it to any country that they fight. Sure they haven't fought alot but they really had no reason too. They don't have that itchy trigger finger that America seems to have every decade.

 

[Motti]

Good for you. I plan to enlist in the Australian army myself, and hopefully join the commandos (I'd join the SAS but I'm not that crazy). I actually haven't told that many people though, because I don't really know what their reaction will be, and I'd rather not have some people worrying about me while I'm still 14.

 

[bcponpcp27]

You should too, its ideal, no interaction with people, just you the scope and the gun.

And your spotter who is doing most of the hard work for you. Actually now there is a computerized system that lets you input the data of the shot (pressure, wind speed, distance, etc...) and will tell you exactly how to take the shot. But most still have a more experienced sniper as their spotter.

 

[lacktheknack]

Canada doesn't fight in any wars, so I guess you don't have to worry about that ...

FAIL.

ULTRA FAIL.

We're still currently in Afghanistan, losing troops weekly, and we've fought alongside the USA in both World Wars...

So that was an incredibly uninformed statement.

If I kill the terrorists, they can't bomb anybody.

Other motivations I have are personal. I want to become a stronger, better person, and I want to really do something with my life.

Also, mods, I'd appreciate if you not lock my little thread here despite the high levels of derp, as I am really enjoying this.

Wouldn't that entail invasion of another country? Like my country (America) has done? Those usually don't turn out so well.

 

[Sejs Cube]

Do it.

 

[Pegghead]

Just keep your head down and if shit hits the fan run like crazy. But in all honesty joining the army is not all the gun fights and tank battles like in movies and video games. You'll probably just be used for recruitment, or homeland security. And even if you do get drafted into a warzone, it'll probably consist of a few solid months boredom patrolling the same area day in day out. In my opinion try finding something else to do.
