Hippies VS. illegal aliens?
its ok to run from your obligations during Vietnam war but its not ok if someone else runs from their country to find a better life?
Answer:
Hippies took their problem and ran at no cost to us.
However the Illegals come here and we have to pick up the tab, or their problems.
I guess if you are an ex-hippy neocon who had strings pulled to get into the TANG during Nam it is!
you are trying to compare apples and eggplants.
Saying that it is ok for someone to break the law in the year 2007 because some assclown ran to Canada in 1960 is just stupid.
How many draft dodgers are we talking about? These weren't hippies, they were guys who didn't wanna die in VietNam. They were called conscious objectors. I read about this when they were threatening to bring the draft back. See, Canada didn't approve of US in that war either. So they let guys in who were running to get away from the US military draft.

No moral american citizen had a duty to fight in the Vietnam War. The war was to prop up French imperialism, and then god knows what for. It was a mass murder of brown people and we had no business there.
My father in law was an emotional mess for twenty years after his time in vietnam, until the vet's center finally gave him the courage to admit that he was used, abused, lied to, and screwed by the u.s. govt and that he took part in mass murder of innocents. hard to live with. let's not inflict that on anyone else, shall we?
one was 30 years ago and doesnt apply now..if you dont like Hippies and are pro illegal alien than I guess you could somehow connect the two events.kinda weird though...
Yes!
It was OK to run from Vietnam! Nixon was nuts!
Vietnam was an other unjustified war,
Summer of Love was great! lots of beautiful chicks with flowers in their hair with awesome live music.
No comparison we are not living in the 60's I deal with the here and now and right now my Social Security is being threatened by the masses jumping the fence. If they want a better life do it legally.
Face it allot of Americans think they are better and deserve more than people from other countries.They have had it so good they don't know what having it hard really is.
True to a certain point,,when the cowards left to go to Canada, they did not try and suck the gov't dry like the illegals here,,,,,,,,,,,,
WOW! That's some comparison... the people that dodged the draft were not all "hippies" they were 18 year old boys just out of high school, whose biggest problem was whether or not a girl in their class liked them... then the lottery.. their number got pulled to go fight in a war they knew nothing about except that people were dying and without proper training there was a good chance they to were going to die too- so let's compare somebody running for their life as opposed to someone just entering a country to make more money.
edit: sweetie.. you are comparing the draft dodgers to the illegal aliens here trying to make more money... you show you have no idea what you are talking about... thanks for trying though.. - what would have happened to the draft dodgers if they refused to go to Vietnam... as opposed to people that come here to make money. again in there lies your answer... stop comparing apples to oranges and embarrassing yourself- and since you called draft dodgers "hippies" I thought I would be nice enough to inform you about why they ran not that they were all "hippies".. Intelligence and education will get you every time
and as far as that 6 blocks comment, I live in one of the largest states in the US with the most immigrants and migrants... I have a great look at the rest of the world and I can judge just fine for myself . thanks though.
Who said it was okay to run to Canada?
** Hey - to the person who gave me the thumbs down - I wasnt' saying whether I agreed with it or not you idiot. I just asked for more factual information i.e. "who said it was okay...". I was trying to point out that this quesiton has too many holes in it to give a great answer. The asker was using his own opinion and asking for a factual answer - doesn't make sense.
Go ahead, give me more thumbs down!
My my my some people are living in a dream world aren't they? Before you post questions trying to compare the two as being the same thing - perhaps you should educate yourself with them first.
