Winston makes a good point: many of this forum's fiercest opponents of mandatory community service are also this forum's fiercest supporters of wage slavery. Strange how that works out.

No, and calling it such is insulting to the millions of Americans who actually were slaves. The fact that having to do community service for a year is even being compared to actual slavery is disgusting, though not surprising, considering the white, middle-class suburbanite tilt of this forum.

Calling having to get a job in order to make money to pay your living expenses "slavery" is rather absurd.

I would say that it's rather disgusting, and insulting to the millions of Americans who actually were slaves.  Not surprising though, considering the white, middle-class suburbanite tilt of this forum.
