Interesting pics, Sportsdude. What do your parents think of your plan to eventually move to Canada? Or have you told them? Does the U.S. still have the draft, and do you think you might be drafted if they do? One more thing, have you considered going to a Canadian college instead of an American one?
What do your parents think of your plan to eventually move to Canada?
They love the idea. Plus it would give them an excuse to visit another country. Gave me a bunch of books for christmas on moving and finding a job in Canada. Heck my dad said he'd join my idea if we invade Iran with nukes. I'm sure he could find a choir/organist job at a lutheran church somewhere.
Have you told them?
Oh they know. The strive to move to Canada has gotten me through my struggles of late. Heck even my right wing uncle knows. We were going to take a vacation to Vancouver last summer but we didn't have time but we might go skiing at whistler one of these days.
Does the U.S. still have the draft?
Yes and No. When you turn 18 you have to sign a draft letter. But you don't get drafted, yet. It takes an act of congress to re institute it. It would be political suicide but if the u.s. ever went at it alone and invaded Iran like they did Iraq. Then yeah they would have to start it up again because they are running out of troops.
Have you considered going to college in Canada?
Yeah but I can't this time around but if I get into the place I want to go, get into the peace corps then come back two years later and want to get my masters or go to law school then I do have a shot because they'll see my record and they'll see the peace corp service on it. The two places I'd like to go to in the future are either UBC or McGill.[/DIV]
