Re: Barack Obama's Plan for Universal Voluntary or Compulsory Public Service?

I agree, I don't like lazy people but that is your and my opinions. Does that give us a right to force them to get up and do scheduled programs? Not at all in my eyes. This country is about freedom. If you are a lazy "stoner" then you probably won't ammount to much anyway....however, that is your choice to be lazy. That would be like me saying, "I can't stand computer people who drive SUV's because they are gas hogs. Therefore let's make them all attend an evrionmental awareness 2 week course and give them some community service for a while."

I agree, community service is a great thing to do. It is also something I have participated in since I was a kid from walking and taking care of animals at the humane society, to coaching soccer games, to working at food kitchen for the homeless. That is something I took the initiative to do. However, I wasn't forced to nor should I have. Ending, I would still like to say that these are horrible ideas that take away from others who not only do not deserve to pay it, but didn't recieve it when they were in school either. America is about having freedom to do what you want to with your life...not forcing people to live their lives a certain way.
