Equality, My Arse
Posted by Anonymous on Fri, Oct 12, 2012 at 5:46 PM
My son came home today and said that he was denied his student loan because he was not yet registered with the Selective Service. I checked into it and yep, men over 18 are not only required by law to register with the SS, but if they don't, they'll be denied school loans and government jobs. For those of you who don't know, registering for the SS is registering for THE FUCKING DRAFT! One, how dare the government make it the LAW to sign up for this shit. Two, why don't women have to register? I mean, everything being equal, shouldn't they be required by law to register too? I have to take my son down to register for the fucking draft now. I know nobody will probably care about this, because it only affects men, so who gives a shit, right? Right. Go USA.
