(In response to Obama's "community service in return for free college" proposal)
I can see all the minorities (who don't already get free tuition) receiving the free tuition, while dodging their service.

Minorities don't get free tuition, you moron. There are some local colleges that will do free tuition for the first year, but that usually gets offered to the school's top ten. University of Dallas did that for our district.
And I imagine the service will be documented. My public high school required its seniors to have 100 hours of community service before graduation and we couldn't just make shit up then, either.
Dumbass.
Definitely RSTDT, but definitely WTF besides that. Okay, the problem with coming up with a new service requirement is that... people won't do the service?
Okay, if they're already not doing the service, then the worst thing that happens is that some kids get to go to college?
OMG the horrors!
"I can see all the minorities (who don't already get free tuition) receiving the free tuition, while dodging their service."
I can see that you are bigot.
And BTW, this isn't slavery. Slaves got nothing for their labor, other than the basic necessecities to barely remain alive. These youth are being offered the chance to make something of themselves, to be productive members of society. So this whole post is batshit.
*GASP* More kids might be able to go to college! More of the minority kids, who, on average, are less likely to go to college than white kids, might be able to go to college and make better lives for themselves! For shame!
Three things:
1.) If they don't do the service, they don't benefit. It's not like the teacher just asks if you worked when you walk into the class each day. You likely have to produce signed off time sheets regularly. So if you decide to skip out, or miss outside of acceptable, sick day limits, your told to either pay up, or fuck off.
2.) Yeah, a person sees a chance to scrape themselves out of the gutter, finds an oppotunity to better themselves in spite of financial constraints, and will promptly slack off and fuck themselves out of said opportunity. Yes, that is totally how it would happen, because minorities are lazy, and white people are not.
3.) I assume you speak of of "scholarships." Like the ones granted to underpriviledged kids? Or kids that excel. Or any number of other criteria. Apparently it's only bad if the fiulthy "minorities" get them.
The military has always offered free education, that's one of the reasons (poverty is the other) you have a voluntee armed forces (no draft)
The entire western world military does this because poor people can be just as intelligent as rich people. They want smart people, some smart people see the fast track to marketable, resume worthy skills.
It's a no brainer, if I wasn't such a Hippy I mighta taken a few tours.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
