"We the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America."
Government responsibilities: unite the land under common legislature, establish a judiciary, establish a police force, establish a military, provide a safety net (not hammock), and secure the blessings of liberty (ie: do these things and not one thing more)

I honestly believe that the government should force people to serve in the military for maybe 2-3 years after or before you begin colledge. It's not nessecary to go into combat either, you could choose your field, it's just that i think it would do alot of people good if they joined the military for awhile. Think about it...all those drug addicts and alcoholics, they could really kick the habit.

I think mitsy has run out of steam from his usual annoyances and has fallen to this low state of controversial drivel. I mean you can only expect the man to successfully enrage everyone for so long, we all have our slumps.

The military isnt a social tool. It doesnt exist to help alcoholics, it exists defend U.S. interests. Forcing everyone to serve in the military would swell it to a ridiculously unneccessary size, and come at a huge financial cost. Not to mention having a non-volunteer force degrades morale because most of the people dont want to be there, and of course would be incredibly unpopular with the public. We're a country of 300 million people, surrounded by oceans, not a country of 6 million surrounded by 60 million enemies, like Israel. Forcing everyone to serve in the military is just a horrible idea for a country like the United States.

forcing everyone in the military is retarded unless you have a damn good reason
having some kind of mandatory community service for everyone isn't a bad idea though. I know that I greatly benefitted from the year I spent working (which I did instead of going to the army), and I think a vast majority of people would.

Taxes and bills for stuff is fine, the government just have to keep it on a fine line so that it does'nt cause an uproar or something. Like in the movie " Throbbin' Hood" the Sheriff of Naugthingham decided to put tax on pussy. I can tell you that did not fall in favor among throobin' and his merrymen.

Do you really think that the Government should control education? Do you realize how narrow the education system is? The government supported education system's basis is over 1000 years old started in Prussia. It is a system designed so that the linguistic/verbal and mathematically skilled people to succeed, and if you dont have those skills(70% of the population doesnt) you are screwed. It is a system that takes interesting subjects, then breaks them down in to subjects as math english science. and if you dont find it enjoyable, the too bad for you. For those that learn by other means(physical, spatial, inter/intrapersonal) they do poorly. Not only this, but the education system does not prepare you for the real world after you leave. It does not teach you how to earn money and use money to the best of your abilities, instead it only trains you for one career that you hope to work for the rest of your life then retire on pension. But that does not work as well today as it used to. In this age, you have to relearn new skills to keep up with the world and keep being successful. These things are not taught to you in school, and most likely will not because it is a system designed to survive, not change.
10$ to anyone who can tell me what book i got this argument from.

They should force you to learn English.

I don't know but if it really told you that government supported education began over 1000 years ago in Prussia it's pretty off base.
The earliest instance of what may vaguely be called government-sponsored schools AFAIK were the Palace schools of the Merovingian and Carolinian monarchs. Modern government-sponsored education began no earlier than 200 years ago. 1000 years ago education was under the dominion of either the church or the monestaries, while appreticeship education began with the guilds. The University was founded around 900 years ago, in Italy, and was guild that gradually came under the influence of the church, and not of any central government.
And Prussia did not exist 1000 years ago -.-.

Moltke also reads history books as a side job.

Moltke, what's your major?
(If I were to guess, I'd say PoliSci)

I have trouble justifying giving a serious response to someone who can't even manage to use proper grammar in the topic title.

I HAVE TROUBLE JUSTIFYING A SERIOUS RESPONSE FROM AN OUT OF DATE NINTENDO SYSTEM
