my brother...

[Samwhore]

yes, actually even in our small ass town that has nothing we have one of those... i guess i can get him up there (if i can get him to come llive with me) while we mow yards for money (1/2 his concern is money)

tell his broke ass to get a job

[b0Ng h!tz 4 mE]

i know all i can do is support him... but i do not support this....

he's making this choice to get out of my mom's house... and i offered him to come live here.. that's going to prove to be a magician's act in th eend, but i'll be fucking god damned if i'm not gonna do everything i can to keep him from making an IDIOTIC decision....

look you wanna go fight a war cuz you believe in it... fine! but i'm not leting my little bro go fight in some bullshit just to escape my mother.

"don't get angry"... my fucking ass, my only surviving brother is wanting to sign his own death warrant.. again i say FUCK THAT....

i might be able to give him what he wants, but i'm not so confident...

I wish i had a brother lol

before i was born my parents had a baby boy but then like 3 days later he died, then a year later i was born.. sometimes i think what it'd be like if he never died and havin an older bro.. but then again if he didnt die i probaly wouldnt be here.. which would kinda suck for me

as someone else said tho, theres other things he can do in the army which isnt goin into battle but rather other stuff.. but if he only wants to go to get away from his mom it does seem pretty damn stupid, couldnt he just get a normal job and move out into some cheap apartment or somethin?

tell his broke ass to get a job

see that's the problem, we live in houston or near houston, after katrina... we had few openings to begin with (we are a HUGE community and can't even support all the demands of jobs... much less we have part of an entire state come here and decide to live here) that's what causes such a problem... he has looked, for months and months... i've searched for YEARS....

never found it.... which is what causes the problem... which is where the only thing i know came into picutre.... going out and mowing yards... i don't care.... i just don't want him to leave.. i don't want it, and deep down, i know he doesn't either..... he's just looking for an alternative... which is what lead us to present... and we've had talks about this before....

i'll do whatever it takes WHATEVER it takes... i won't lose another brother...

[Samwhore]

heres what it will be like if he goes to war...

Snowman: War
Lil Bro: Bambi

DOES HE WANT THIS?

*P.S. the war will whistle

i say... kick his ass.... tell him that you feel resposible for him, because you cant stand to loose him... and that you think he should wait a year... and that after he turns 18, and possibly graduates, that maybe he can come and try staying on your couch for a while... so that he maybe will have a better chance of maybe finding a job... and he could help you out with getting by on rent and what not(from what ive read you seam like your in debt past your eye balls) so you guys could both benifit from it...

lol.. kickin his ass wont stop him

i say tie him up and if he gets lipy pistol whip him n say "gotta get used to that shit bro if ya wanna join the army"

or somethin i dunno.. i think i already asked this question but what does ur mum think of this?

him joinin the army not u pistol whippin him

[halo]

tell him to join the coast gaurd. He'll get the benefits of being in the military but will never have to leave the country.

[slipknotpsycho]

we are that far in debt, and i still dont' care... i'll take even more... ruin my good name, i dont' give a shit.. as long as i have a surviving b rother....


my mom hates the idea as much as me... but that's just her, she hates everything.... wouldn't matter if you were a lawyer making 100's of thousands a year, she'd hate it (which is why i didn't asnwer it the frist time around) I CARE about my brothers well being.... she doesn't.... again, that's why i didn't answer tha tquestion in the first place.

[partyguy420]

you guys arent listening to me. NOT EVERYONE IN THE MILITARY GOES TO WAR.


you still have your rights in the military.... you just can't smoke weed.

umm.... i just read something about the secratery of defence or something, calling for more troups for iraq.... i dont rember were i read it... or how many more troups they are needing to go over there.... but chances are... anyone who joins anytime soon will end up over there...

The only real option for you is for him to find a job outside the military. He wants work, but can't find it, right? Help him find a j.o.b. if you're concerned, man. People have needs, and his needs will always outweigh your own when it comes to his life. benagain made a good suggestion, imo. Job corp it's a rough start but it will get him out of the house and a little money in his pocket.

Right now he's thinking, "how am I going to make it on my own?" Help him make his way w/o criticizing his current state of mind. He just wants something better for himself, bro. There are options out there, but they center on a job with a decent wage I'm afraid.

If you can offer something better then you're gold. If not, then you may be wasting your time. I feel for ya, but unless you can truly help him, he's gonna do what he's gonna do.

I wish I could offer something myself, but I can't; I'm an unemployed peon just trying to survive myself. Get some info on job corp and give it to him. Do your homework and be prepared, tho. He's sure to ask a lot of questions...


Best wishes,
