Alrighty. So as I was saying, a guy was fired from his job with the FDIC because he did not sign up with the Selective Service Administration (SSA). (This is how they now draft people). U.S. law says that you might be registered with the SSA as a condition of employment for the federal government. Women however, are not required to register with the SSA, only men. So, this guy is filing a lawsuit on the basis of discrimination. I believe that the Courts have already decided this already, and said no, the Federal government can discriminate in this matter. But we'll see what the District Court says.

No, he's going to court to revisit this issue. I am guessing that he will get his butt kicked.

Personally, this guy should have known the requirements for working for the federal government. On all the federal job apps, it clearly states that you must be registered with the SSA. So, I think it's his loss. Not to mention, I don't even think the Courts are given a remedy. If the Courts even could give him his job back, don't you think it would be odd going back to work? I would think the workplace would be a bit uncomfortable.

True, it would be a bit weird
BTW how come it only men are required to register?

Well I think it was because then that women would be able to produce children who could continue on fighting and managing society. Then again, it's just a theory which can be linked to the Roman philosophy. But, we won WWII, so this is why it never comes to it. But women however can't fight on the frontlines either. Personally, if I was a woman, I would want to keep it this way.

Not sure how I feel about that, I guess if I was in the army or something then maybe I'd like it changed but since I'm not I don't really care.

If a person wants to die, then that's their business. That's what I find to be ironic in this country. After all, we do have the right to life (unless you happen to be a fetus, then it might depend on who your mother is) and by a reciprocal property, you should have the right to die as well.
