So when are we going to start getting punished for not going out and "volunteering"? (I love how they call it volunteering but force people to do it. George Orwell is turning over in his grave.)

Somebody on page 2 just posted some text proving that the services are, indeed, mandatory.
@Rams59lb: Thanks.

It seems to me that sometimes "freedom" is being used as "me first". Maybe if you guys stopped complaining about how Obama is taking away your "freedoms" and did something for your comunities, the United States wouldn't be such a total and complete disaster.

I'm guessing you're also for mandatory vaccinations? Again, I'd be happy to volunteer but it isn't really volunteering when someone forces it upon you, is it?

I was referring to the swine flu vaccine which looks like it will be mandatory (as soon as they finish adding the mercury to them).

So now we have to bribe people to volunteer. Great.

You make it seem like they are going to come take your kids and enslave them in some sort of reeducation concentration camp. I believe that this program will provide college grants to those youth that CHOOSE to participate. Hell, I wish I had that option, as I'm still paying off student loans I accrued over 10 years ago. Lighten up man, this is not about slavery, it's about bettering America (the country benefits from the volunteer service and the youth benefit from not having to pay for a higher education). This is a WIN WIN situation.
