Yes, your very tame and non-inflammatory thread title supports this.

Agreed. OP, surely by this point in your academic career you have had some studies involving the history of slavery.

I actually expected this thread to be about capitalism or about government supported sweat shop labor.

Spreading what little bit of wealth I have to lazy turds who wont work? Psh. To be honest, I'm just going to sit back, and watch (really, what choice do I have?) and we'll see if he's REALLY for middle class america, or just certain middle class americans. Yeah. I said it.

But to answer your question - yeah, all I wanted to do was discuss, but it's apparent I've already pissed some folks off, so I dont guess good discussion is going to actually happen now. Rather than discussing or answering a question, you have people who just want to criticise. Of course, that's what GC is all about. Who can we attack on next?

I'll call it like I see it. I think the title is perfectly appropriate. the possibility (whether it passes or not) of the draft, and telling kids they "have" to do community service? Sounds like government mandated slavery to me.

Dont worry, next time I'll title it "Hide your money before Obama takes it and gives it to lazy ass turds." How's that?

Wow, did you really want to discuss anything or just post something inflammatory and show your ignorance? You haven't even made an attempt to educate yourself on the subject before spouting off all of this.

Actually, this seems like two different people posting under this username, two totally different tones. OP has about 17 posts... I diagnose a case of the "my roommate did it"

Are you posing as a slave or as a high school student doing community service to receive $4000 of free tuition?

Yes, but I think your reasoning is pretty stable compared to others.

You can roll your eyes. Just don't create a thread about it until you have a solid foundation for your eye rolling.

How old are you, seriously? And why are you a Republican?

And I don't know what you're talking about @ yeah, I said it. Was that supposed to be a "zinger?"

Do you understand how ironic this is? That's like cursing out a stranger and wondering why you get cursed back.

Maybe you just aren't intelligent enough to have a discussion. (yeah, I said it ). I'm all for crass delivery, I do that sometimes, but you don't make sense even when you're not being crass. You might not have it in you so....

THIS THREAD = FAIL.
