    He is the only draft dodger I respect less than draftees. Otherwise it’s a pretty based practice. Why would you kill and die for Nixon?

      This is a mess of an opinion. You don’t have respect for people who got drafted…?

        That’s like respecting someone because they got hit by a car. That’s sucks and all, but how does respect have anything to do with it?

          Shit I forgot that everyone who got drafted participated in that. Ok I hate draftees now, you’ve convinced me!

          You should feel bad for the ones that were. A lot of people can’t afford to risk draft dodging. It’s like telling a starving man to boycott certain foods.

          Ok now you’re just being an ass.

          There’s a baseline of respect you should have for your fellow humans and you’ve implied that you don’t have it for draftees for some unknown reason. Was that not your intent?

            Not really. Sure, there’s a baseline of respect for all humans. They are exactly at it, not any higher than any other person, all else equal. Draft dodgers are slightly higher because it’s a based thing to do. And as I said earlier there’s an exception to draft dodgers.
