Address to the Nation

[Solomwi]

This would be a form of slavery.

I did answer your question about non-compensation by saying that compulsory service without compensation is a form of slavery. Unless you're saying there's a difference between the word, "non-compensation" and the phrase, "without compensation."

Ah, sorry. I see that now. Somehow I started reading that post with "So you and I have a disagreement..." Thanks.

My bad, forgot where I was for a moment. What I meant to post was...

Stop dodging the question. Your persistent refusal to answer a simple question proves you're either a moron or an *******. I don't care which, but **** off either way and I hope your children are killed by Muslim terrorists.

I'd love to stay and smooch with you Solomwi but I have to eat left over dinner real quick before joining some queers for happy hour. Parting is such sweet sorrow.

If Obama proposed that all American youth be required to perform two years of non-compensated, assigned public service, say, from their 18th to 20th birthdays, would you object to someone characterizing it as a "slavery program"?

I would.

But the military draft and jury duty both require service as a "civic duty."

Indeed. I'm glad we no longer have the one, and wish I were smart enough to come up with a better way than the other.
