hey -- are you the same zontar who invented the TimeSink(c)?

i noticed this sentence more than the others --

<< I do not support the choice to join the armed forces in the same way I would
not support a kid to drive drunk or shoot up their school. >>

-- you seem to be saying "the military commit crimes" and you don't support
crimes, which is a comendable moral ground to hold. It is also factual -- many
militaries throughout history have commited many crimes.

But let's say you have some kids driving drunk and killing lots of people on
the road; or shooting up the high school --- what do you suggest to do? let the
kids with the guns have the high school? let them buy them faster cars and
stronger booze?

That's one answer.
