What the tl;dr?
Why did Constantinople get the works?
That's nobodies business but the Turks.
Macron will bring back national service for 16-year olds in France.
I'm not totally against this idea. Three months of some kind of service is fine.
Before that 3 months, participants have to live together for 1 month. Dorming with a bunch of total strangers? No thanks.
I'd pick helping others or tutoring.Quote:

I love the idea of someone who endorses government compelled military service but hates the removal of individual comfort and privileges that idea causes.Quote:

If you give the government a pass to compel you to service you’re essentially killing the right of the individual.
Think of all the crazy shit Trump might ask you to do and you don’t believe in his ideology. Nah — this isn’t a good idea and you should stop advocating for the degradation of rights it took humanity millennia to obtain.
Right. Trump could easily ask you to do stuff in support of his own agendas. Not so good.Quote:
