Mandatory Civilian Service

[Gabu]

I think everyone's missing the most important question of all:

...what difference could it possibly make whether an idea is "left-wing" or "right-wing"?

[Gabu]

How then is the idea left-wing? It isn't.

Modern America is run by a right-wing leader, so if it is imposed there it is by very definition right-wing.

Uh, major logical fallacy alert there, pal.

Bandit has admitted multiple times in the past to using logical fallacies; he just doesn't see anything wrong with that as long as it's in opposition to the Republican Party and conservatives in general.

well it's quite obvious by now Gabu.  If bandit doesn't like it, by it's nature it is right-wing and fascist.  Everything else is liberal and tolerant.  Bandit is the measure of all things politically.

That wasn't really what I was asking; I was more asking is why it matters what arbitrary label we decide to attach to it.  It doesn't change what it is.

I think its just a way to condition them to the idea that the government can demand service of them and they must comply.

Or... maybe it's a way to get them out to do something nice for the community in the hopes that they will enjoy the experience and continue to do such things out of their own volition later in life.  I'm sorry to break this to you, but politicians are human beings, not emotionless robots who exist solely to break the wills of their subjects.

Not to say that I agree with requiring community service before graduating, but I think you're being a wee bit too paranoid there.
