      the last draft in the u.s. was in 1972.

      overthrow it and change it to what?
      should that new government be overthrown too?
      how about the government after that?
      this is how the middle east works, the middle east is a shithole.

    • @pi8869
      @pi8869 8 лет назад

      Chris Thomas ya I do realize that now if that happens then it will end up like the middle east like you said but there are better ways look up cgp grey on how voting and the electoral college works and you can see it will be a lot better if we do that

      the protesters of the 60's did nothing to end the vietnam war, the war was lost on its own because the u.s. would not commit full fire power to winning.
      the "equal rights" movement did not make the blacks or the women happy, they still are protesting 50 years later about the same old shit.

      it is counter productive. allows the police and the fed to further justify themselves.

    The reason people hide their faces is because they're cowards, They are afraid to be seen standing up for what they think is right. Or they are just punks there to simply commit crimes, Who are still cowards none the less.

    • @PvblivsAelivs
      @PvblivsAelivs 8 лет назад +1

      I suppose you also believe that soldiers take their guns into battle because they are cowards, too. When you express a view that the power-that-be don't like, it can be prudent to conceal your identity so as not to find that the retribution leaves you homeless and starving.
