The word "socialism" is being thrown around alot lately. A few of you might want to do some research on countries that have used it and not just look up the dictionary.com definition and consider it fascist.
Also, high schools already require community service for senior to graduate. (8 hours). So I don't really see what the big deal is. I think it could be very helpful in some parts of our country where kids have nothing to do after school but get in trouble.

My children will never do mandatory community service, unless it's court ordered.
I'm all for doing volunteer work when it's on a voluntary basis.
But, colton, when the gov't says you have to work at a soup kitchen for 8 hrs in order to graduate, that's wrong.
When the gov't does anything other than protect us from invasion, protect me from you/you from me, the gov't is grossly exceeding it's pay grade.

While an amusing cartoon, it is a drastic oversimplification of two ultimately meaningless terms. I'm more inclined to side with Rousseau, however: "All men are born free, and everywhere we are in chains." Your freedom is not given to you by any one, by any thing, or by any organization -- it is inherent to your nature. Everything past that is a limitation of your liberty placed upon you by an outside force.

While that is certainly a by-product of the right to bear arms, it is not the intention of it to provide for that. The second amendment is about the prevention of tyranny of government.

That's why I always get annoyed at people who buy guns and then proclaim that they're exercising their second amendment right. Mother****er, you're buying a gun because you like to shoot **** -- when you take up arms against a tyrannical government, then you're using your second amendment rights.

Now, if you and I could get some otehrs involved, we may stand a chance.
I guess I'm a coward.
