Question by Chase Them With The Truth: Is “mandatory volunteering” any different than slavery?
If any one must be rejecting slavery to the American individuals, it ought to be Obama.

No one is providing mandatory volunteerism, so your rant is irrelevant.

Not much, and “mandatory volunteering” is unconstitutional even though many public high schools require it for graduation.
Constitution: ” Neither slavery nor *** involuntary servitude ***, except as a punishment for crime where of the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.”
Involuntary servitude: “A condition of being made to labor against your will.”

Uhm…you can’t be a “volunteer” to something that is “mandatory” (do you have ANY idea what an oxymoron is? if not, let me give you a hint…you just used one.)

Selective service, slavery? Maybe yes.

mandatory volunteering is much the same as being drafted, its for the good of the people, and nobody would ever recommend mandatory volunteering as a law, only high schools would

Obama love socialism and globalization he says it in his book.
Obama hates whites and wants revenge not equality.

The words “mandatory” and “volunteer” are 100% mutually exclusive and anyone who claims otherwise is an utter moron. I take it Obama or one of his minions used the term?

It is different from slavery. Read your history, instead of making grossly inaccurate analogies.
Is Abu Ghraib any different from the Holocaust? Of course it is. That is the absurdity of your bullshit claim.

That’s like saying participating on a jury is slavery asshole. That’s also like saying paying taxes is slavery. You are a dumb ass don’t make stupid posts.
If you don’t volunteer no ones going to hunt you down and kill you so yeah, definitely not slavery…

I have read something about Obama wanting to start this. I’m not sure where, though. You are right.
And if it’s mandatory, it can’t be volunteering. That’s crazy, ain’t it?
But, I wouldn’t put anything past Obama, I could see this happening.

“Mandatory volunteering?” Where’d you hear that rant??

I don’t see a difference in it. Slaves were forced to do things and mandatory volunteering is also being forced even in high school,thank God I was home schooled for high school

No obama loves slavery because he is a hypocrite

Nobody is suggesting such a thing, certainly not Obama. But for the record, yes, it is different than slavery. Slavery is when people are considered property and have no rights. Being required by law to help serve your community is not the same thing, and has a long history in world politics, especially for Democracies.
What do you think Jury duty is, or the draft is? Ancient Greece and Rome practiced this to even a larger extent then we do today, and most European countries today require you either volunteer for the military or serve your community in some manner at some point in your life. But Obama isn’t even saying that, all he is doing is rewarding people for volunteering, with benefits like free college education.

First of all everyone is splitting hairs over the term “mandatory volunteering”. If you keep up with the news, you know exactly what the asker is referring too. And yes, “mandatory volunteerism”, although an oxymoron, is a term often spoken in regards to Obama’s plan to mandate community service. Obama said he would make federal assistance conditional on school districts establishing service programs and set the goal of 50 hours of service a year for middle and high school students. I strongly object to this. It truly is reminiscent of “hitler youth”.

There is no such thing, so yes.
