slipping mandatory service under the radar?

[christiefan915]

Hundreds of thousands of words in the english language and yet you seem incapable of making a point without using the "c" word.

Twice.

Anyone who needs such language obviously can't make their point rationally.

Go easy on him, Zappa. Obviously he's unaware that we WOT refugees developed asbestos tushes from all the flaming over there, and that he'll have to turn the heat up a whole lot higher to make us burn.

Asshat is now a righty? The world is truly upside down.

He's obviously not a liberal. Would you care to enlighten us?

 

[cawacko]

He holds plenty of liberal positions. There is not a political term that would describe Asshat. For better or worse the ubiquitious "unique" is all I can come up with.

Exactly my point. Your school district was sub-par. You didn't want to live in projects when you grew up. So you took the initiative to get out of that area, get a college education, and start a career for yourself. I'm pretty certain that you've worked hard and put in long hours in order to further your career. Something made you develop that work ethic. Can you say with certainty that your earlier experiences had nothing to do with it?

You volunteered at an inner-city high school. Maybe you shared your own experiences to motivate the kids to better themselves. It's not about picking up trash, it's about motivating yourself and trying to motivate others to do the best they can. Maybe you would have done all of this anyway, even without the community service requirement. But I can't see how it hurt you.

Many school districts have the community service requirement. Parents like it, the school and the community benefit from it. I do believe that if the vast majority of taxpayers were against community service it couldn't be forced into the curriculum.

My school was actually a private school so while it was not in a good neighborhood it was in no way comparable to an Oakland public school so for that I was very lucky.

How much say do taxpayers have over the ciriculum now? I don't have any children and thus am not involved in the school system like someone with kids would be but from just reading the local papers I would surmise very little.

Just my opinion but I would be very supportive if schools set up ways to make it easy for kids who want to to volunteer. I cannot get myself to accept that 'forced' is good.

Big whoop!

Hundreds of thousands of words in our language and the guy can't make his point without using one of a few dozen vile vulgarities?

He's free to use whatever words he wants of course, but an inability to make his point without pitiful schoolyard namecalling speaks volumes.

Oh yeah. That Christie! She's a contrary one she is. She's grown so accustomed to the word "c*nt", it might as well be her

We didn't call her Mary Mary Quite Contrary for nothing!

Yes, and that is what froggie herself called you, was it not? I guess that means she not too bright.

 

[TuTu Monroe]

Yes, she did. I made a copy of her post, knowing full well she would try to deny it down the road. Guess what? She did.

I can make my point rationally, and I did. The c word is just amusing ornamentation.

 

[Based Chad]

I'm a populist. That means 'for the people', what liberals claim to be, but aren't.

 

[Based Chad]

I rest my case.

You shouldn't have. You have failed utterly, and only illustrated that you're a totalitarian. Mandatory volunteerism? Peace through war? Freedom Through Slavery? You're pretty big brothery. Have you read 1984? they use a lot of these word games to destroy people's ability to think properly. You're a wreck.

 

[Good Luck]

The direction of modern liberalism: What is not forbidden is mandatory.

You choose to use it in a derogitory manner. I happen to like cunts.

Populism is ignorance. Borrowing from Socrates, that is why it has so often led to evil.

Asshat's political arena falls squarely in the totalitarian anarchist sector with a huge slice of economic protectionism rolled in, but he rarely practices it because all he really wants is job security. my homie.

Im really not at anarchist or any form of totalitarian. And i do believe in global trade, but not when it incentivizes wage slavery and a degradation of human rights and works counter to an advancement of freedom.


Free Trade should also mean the ability to say no to destructive and harmful agreements.

Elitism leads to evil. Populism leads to good.

Then how come populism has always led to evil?
