One exit route from conscription I could have is that I have scoliosis. If the angle of my curvature meets the one stipulated in the legislation I could be exempt from service. That'll be determined in the health check-up prior to the service. I doubt it though, I think I'm going to miss out on...

Geopolitics really come into play when it comes to conscription. It's easier for countries without significant conflicts (ongoing or frozen) to abolish conscription. For the likes of Turkey or Israel it's more difficult to implement. There's an ongoing transition to a professional army with...

Happy birthday!

You go to prison if you're a conscientious objector here - with the charge of alienating the public from military service.

6 months in my case.

That's fair, I feel the same way about power metal, I just had the impression that you dismissed simply because of their status as nu-metal originators. If that's not the case then fair enough.

Yeesh, that's one shallow way to approach it. They barely sound nu metal on this album.

It is. More importantly, Turkey is something else.

This is a possibility for me also. If I don't get accepted to a post-graduate program in autumn or spring, I'll be off to my military service next summer.

The diversity edge goes to Mercury, but Mercury does benefit from having been a singer of a band with a very diverse discography. He's sung so many styles. What Halford has over Mercury for me, and this might be what @MindRuler had in mind when he said "diverse", is that his command across...

Tate & Halford Tough break with the draw here. Both candidates in the second matchup would destroy the candidates in the first matchup.

Best performance of the season from Arsenal away at Wolves today. Very tidy. First away win for the Gunners against a team ranked higher than them since 2015.

United have become such an entertaining team to watch lately. The fivesome of Pogba-Fernandes-Rashford-Greenwood-Martial is very promising.

Happy birthday!

Highly doubt it. Certainly wouldn't be the case for anyone who has experience with Survivor games on the forum.

As declared before, backing Hallowed to win.

I don't think it should matter whether the songs featured highly in a ranking of Maiden songs is representative of their overall style or not. That aside, I think Powerslave's mid-section is an especially remarkable display of Maiden's tastefulness and craft.

The former doesn't happen on the street with random people, but it does happen in specific public settings like school, courses, gatherings, parties etc. I probably became acquintances with more than 10 people that way when I was in high school. If you're relying on it in desperation, sure...

This game isn't an indicator of anything in that regard. Most of these players have barely recovered from their hangovers.
