hey i feel its my duty to pass this on.........read the bible, you might be suprised at what you learn and realize, it WILL enlighten you, it may seem boring, but man, you will be a better person after reading it, it really does open your eyes to EVEYRTHING, i mean you don't have too, but its worth a shot, i'm not saying your going ot read it and your life will be fee of everything, god PUT sin on this earth, he also gave you a brain, he gave you choices, its just up to you tomake the right ones, i'm not going to lie, i've made some really bad choices in my life i never should have made, stay in school, graduate, theres not better feeling man, ........think about it man...its not BS.......

AMEN!

why does it seem some people cant just let others have their own path of thinking? damn people always trying to force religion on others - you arent going to get your point across. to you it sounds silly that people think its all about evolution and coincidences. to me it sounds silly that you think "God" just did this all on his own as if a "being" could have this kind of power. sorry, that doesnt fly with me.
and i already know about the "bang" and how "coincidental" it is that the earth is how it is today, but hey...shit happens - science is where im at, ive been into the whole evolution/outer space thing since 6th grade and i read whatever i can about it, and i watch whatever is on tv about it when something interesting is on and im just chillin at home. :thumbup:

Its not like were knocking on your door everyday trying to get you to listen to us or something, he wanted direction and advice and we supplied our thoughts.

omg guys give him a damn break on the religion though. all your going top do is turn him against religion even more. i can say this from eexperience. i had religion forced down my throat for years, i rebelled and went towards teh wiccan culture. when my mom got sick i kinda reevaluated things and now i can say i dont believe in god etc but i do believe in afterlife.
ok i got side tracked......my point was lay off him on the religion! the rotc is a good route to go and i kinda agree with a few other comments, going to military school may give you some needed structure but it will also be a black mark telling everyone you were a "troubled" youth. and like a previous person said you have to realize this has astronghol on you and when you realize that and only when you realize it you can then work to change it and better your life.

I knew about the shop thing...i think the army does that too...
But i've heard that the living conditions in the marines are the worse...
can you maybe give me a heads up on that?...and bootcamp's probably frickin hard..

giving your opinion and ridiculing others beliefs.....hmmmm.

:yes:

Thats where i do all my work on my car.


As far as living conditions, it really depends on what base you live on, a Marine base here could be better than a AF base somewhere else and visa versa. Generally the AF is supposed to have the best living conditions, generally.

Marine corps boot camp is the hardest of them all, but on the other hand you'll feel like you really accomplished something when your done. Unlike after I got done with AF basic training, it was a breeze.

OK sure, if you say so. Does it scare you to think about this stuff or something? Why are you getting so defensive when people are having a decent conversation about God. No one's making you read this, no one's hounding you, telling you that your going to hell or some crap.

still going huh? cant just live with the fact people think differently than you?

:D:D im getting defensive? what exactly is there to be scared of? im quite ok with the fact that people choose their own beliefs, doesnt seem like you are, judging by what youve been saying. :cigar:

ok first off about the god thing, yall need to chill out, i'm not pressuering him to do shit, i'm just offering my advice, he can take whatever path he wants too! it really doesn't matter to me, i'm just trying to help him out!

dude its all a ****ing rumor, marines get paided the same as everyone else, the only reason why air force, army, navy get paided more in the long run, well not in all cases, its easier to get promoted in those branches, my recruiter has been in for 17 years and is an E7 GSgt, and i know guys in the army who are E7s that have been in for like 2 years, pay is based on rank, right now i'm only a Lance Corpal, E3.....anyways man, its up to you, do whats best! later bro

Still going? Oh I'm sorry I thought this whole forum thing was a place to communicate ideas, my bad.

I also am fine with people choosing their own beliefs.
