| Message | The fact is the national service or standing army of a nation the size of Telamon is not in need. Voluntary service is enough. Try finding governmental work for everyone in this immensely privatised nation. It makes sense in nations like Switzerland where the population is fairly low and scattered. I think I can get the capitalists to agree that these people would be better of in school or in the job market. |

| Message | No, national service is unnecessary and against individual rights |

| Message | Right that's what I've been saying, even though I'm doubting this FALSE communist doesn't care about those rights. So I didn't mention the whole forcing into service thing. Neo-Cons respond better whenver you threaten the economy. Seriously, TCP, change your name. I don't call myself the United Jesus Front for obvious reasons. You do not apply as a communist so quit claiming that you are. It is an insult to all of us who actually are. |
