Wow, this forum just became a severe waste of time.

the problem with rightwing nut jobs is that fundamentally, they are just like liberal sissies...they find it better to speak loudly and ignorantly opine the to discuss and find the right solution.

volunteering for high school credit has nothing to do with slavery, the draft, or coercion...

what bothers me about “america’s choice” is that O is going to put gov’t above private ownership and capitalism.

he will bankrupt coal companies; start cap and trade for a carbon tax that has nothing to do with ‘global warming’; and use punitive tax measures to reinforce the class warfare that they’ve created. this is how Chavez will stay in power.

all we need now is for him to threaten the oil companies with nationalization and give the company to the workers....

he might take the farm land as well.

try to discuss something to reach the conclusion instead of being a naif, or worse, a lemming...

and for the record, i am an eagle.

13th Amendment:
Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.

Not coercion? Hello? No servitude, no diploma... That’s not being forced? I really don’t think that there would even be much choice in the volunteerism that would be required.

Inspiring people to do good is the answer. Not forcing them.

Then I suggest you move on. Obama's proposal was not just for high school credit...it was for junior high and college aged individuals as well...and if you cannot UNDERSTAND how it is WRONG for the FEDERAL GOVERNMENT to REQUIRE service to organizations that might be against the individuals beliefs...then you are beyond help and do not belong here.

It does when you have to 'volunteer' to work where the school tells you to.

Compulsory volunteerism has nothing to do with coercion?

Please respond with the definitions of compulsory and coercion and explain how they have nothing to do with each other.

I was a boyscout, but I don't recall the government requiring me to be one.

What an absolutely inappropriate response to my post.

Obama's community service would be required. Currently in my school district, community service is required to get a degree. I am against government required community service.

Both Obama's plan and my kid's school plan are inappropriate. Required community service for kids is an assault on inalienable rights. As a parent, within reason, I will decide if and what my kids do. The government should not be doing that.

And because of that view, in your "judgement", I'm a "rightwing nut job", similar to a "liberal sissy" and I'm a "naif", a "lemming" who "ignorantly opines".

Your post is ironic.
