I never signed up for it and haven't had any issue with it.'m 28 now.

A friend of mine was threatened with deportation if he didn't register, but he's American Indian so I don't know how that'd work out.

Every time this subject is brought up I sit dumbfounded for a couple of seconds trying to understand the absurdity of it all. It's fucking 2009 and with all the advancements that have been made to remove real sexual discrimination as well as even possible sexual discrimination from our society, it's an icy dip in a pool to my mind every time realize this shit still exists.

If there was an equivalent registration for women only like this it would have been destroyed into oblivion years and years ago. But, once again, because men are affected, it's all a-ok.

In Israel, everyone both girls and boys are required to serve in the military. They don't seem to have any problems with it.

Hell, I'd totally forgotten about this. I just verified that I was, in fact, registered. I don't remember registering myself, though. Maybe my parents did it without my knowledge. I doubt I would have done it when I was 18.

I plan to not tell my son about this bullshit requirement.
