Of course, Rangel seems to be being listened to nowadays, and he's espoused for years that he wants to draft all the white people to make things fair.

I don't even know who that is,

Rangel is a congressman from NYC(forget where) who for years has been advocating conscription saying that the current state of the army is racist and is forcing minorities to serve white America's wars.

He's the Congressman from Harlem.
The other 534 people on the Capitol haven't taken him up on the proposal, of course.
And Pakistan seems like the favored next place to have adventures in.

Yes, but it's seemed like for years he's just been seen as a nutjob but then I saw him talking extensively and being listened to in talks about the stimulus and such.
It's funny because it's not true at all.

dont they usually end with being invaded?
I'm a 24 year old male with only a high school education under my belt and trying to find meaning in my increasingly meaningless life.
I'm from Maryland and was thinking US Army but i'll join another if they'll take me.
I've never have been physically fit but if there that desperate
That's another thing i've alway's been afraid of failure and why i've never tried before.
Do it. Do it now. At age 24 if you have not found a direction for life, drastic steps make a lot of sense.

If you're really serious, do some reading up at military.com, self-analyze, then make some friendly calls to your area recruiters.
Do consider your long term options though. For instance, I've bailed before 10 years, am not very likely to re-enter, so I can mostly kiss away that time for retirement. If you're mid-twenties, it means you may even deploy up til your mid-forties, and still have to be fit then, if you want to collect full benefits from being military.

most people never find something they can call "meaning" at all.

Many people feel like they had callings, they just never fulfill them, or if they try in some kind of midlife crisis, they realize they suck.

I'm bored and have no where to go tonight, what should I play? Black and White 2, Civ 3(and should I play with a scenario, or just a plain game?) Civ 4(same thing) EU3, GTA4, or RTW? B&W2 and EU3 are only things I have installed so anything else will require time to set up how I like it, but whatever.

GTA4... I'm actually planning on getting the expansion biker gang thing later. I've heard good things.

You should get Civ4Col, I'm completely addicted to it right now.

I have it, got it for Christmas, just haven't bothered to try it other than to read the manual. I dunno why but I haven't felt like installing anything, besides Civ 4 was always a bit slow on my computer, I mean I could get through most of the game, but by the time I got to the modern ages it was just chugging along, I have more RAM now and haven't tried anything with it yet, but I doubt it'll matter much.

I have the expansions for all those games, except B&W2 and GTA4.
