High explosive bullets packed with ice / heroin certainly make you groggy. "And, in Australia it wasn't Conservatives who got rid of National Service, the only institution that gave the Nation some stability ?"
Conservatives don't give stability , ask Pauline and her 1 One Nation team member. National Service took 237000 boys out of 804000 who registered and the ballot-out boys may have been stable. They should all have volunteered to defend the nation threatened by the invading 19 million Vietcong but didn't , lest we forget.

I didn't say the Conservatives give stability, I said it wasn't them who god rid of it or a better term would be a stabilising factor.
i didn't think it'd still be interpreted as Military Service after stating Non military service here on OLO countless times. Have some imagination for crying out loud.
Let me say it again CLEARLY. We need a Non-Military National service for people 18-20 or 19-21. So, from now on national service has nothing to do with Military ok ? It certainly can be a stepping stone into the military if they can see themselves finding a carrer in the Defence Forces.
What have so many of you against giving young people a chance of being more switched on then you ?

Sorry I just was thinking that getting rid of NS was about getting rid of NS with bullets / cartridges/ cordite and stuff like that 1972. My imagination is shot with all the tobacco , marijuana and propellant fumes . Australia was built by convict service , rum , sodomy and the lash.

Some of us do not need drugs to seem to have a fried brain.
And how did national service and guns get a run?
Some of us prove with every word they right politicians are not that bad after all.
Ask your local Ambo about drugs.
Then the mum and dad of a dead drug user what they think

Mums and Dads grieve for suicide which can claim to be the victim of mental disorder / unbearable stress . Rarely is a deadly drug forced into a person . "Drug victim" is bending words.

Belly,
Deep down they probably think about where they went wrong & are deeply envious of those parents whose kids did not get into drugs.
More often than not it's not the parents' fault anyway, it's the school peer pressure environment,
our incredibly dumb entertainment industry, the incredibly dumb TV programming, the incredibly dumb mentality of competition & the opportunistic looking for a dollar by the adults in everything kids want to turn to just to have some fun.
The PC morons, the moron bureaucrats, the fun police, the safety freaks in all I'd guess the drug taking of the young is directly attributable to adults who want control but are too stupid to know how to. The baby boomers have had it too good & that made them fail their children big time.
