Thanks for your courteous post, Ratman.

I can see why it's confusing as to what exactly I am pissed about. It was just very unnerving to find out about the whole selective service thing. It makes me wonder what else I haven't done that I should have, and what will suddenly prevent me from something important in the future.

I'm just used to the government (I am referring to how things were in my native country) being very proactive about civic responsibilities. No one there can claim they didn't know about something they had to do, because the establishment doesn't leave you alone about it. But then it's a population of only 5 million (with very little immigration into the country), so keeping track of people ought to be a lot easier and cheaper than here.

I think my whole post just rose out of frustration and stress, and I'm not really proud of how I've handled it.

My apologies to those who have sincerely tried to explain things and whom I've offended.
