Even working a job after school can be used as community service so at least here, they play lose with the rules....i, myself, would have wanted them to require the teens to REALLY go and help others. It has never hurt anyone to step outside their comfort zone and be compassionate and DO for others in a positive manner. <br />i will check out that link you provided.<br />Glenn sounds like a real selfish ass.<br />XOlisa https://www.blogger.com/profile/07625835751678075313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-736448434152217111.post-42007293961697013022009-05-01T10:29:00.000-04:002009-05-01T10:29:00.000-04:00This is idiocy at its best.
The fact of the matt...This is idiocy at its best. <br /><br />The fact of the matter is service encourages reflection, and reflection yields personal growth and empathy.<br /><br />In a world where every person broadcasts their lives online with greater frequency and intimacy, empathy must combat a sharp increase in ego-centric thinking. Follow my blog, my twitter, my facebook, my myspace, my google profile, my this, my that, my youtube channel, my flickr, my whatever.<br /><br />While there are advantages to an open society for sure, we have to be cognizant that we fight ego-centrist ideology with empathy, and service is one way to achieve that.Charleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06945266833406042995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-736448434152217111.post-38280334234173004672009-05-01T06:00:00.000-04:002009-05-01T06:00:00.000-04:00I know where you could volunteer your services aro...I know where you could volunteer your services around here. ;) I didn't see that piece in Time.

Almost as funny as Bill O'Reilly suggesting that the reason health care is so unaffordable for folks these days is because so many of them waste their money on booze.<br />Best,<br />MartyMartyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05696228344180197628noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-736448434152217111.post-57636620453023175322009-04-30T23:35:00.000-04:002009-04-30T23:35:00.000-04:00OK, so Glen gets carried away.

The things he's saying are very calculating. And it comes off as sounding like community service boot camp. My parents taught me to help, & by example, even to help until it hurt a little, give something you might need for yourself to someone else, because he might need it even more. My volunteerism as a youth worked for me, and helped me to see certain things through the eyes of the less fortunate. My parents were criticized about this at times. It was suggested my parents took away from us as a family(& me as a child)to help others. OH SCARY MONSTERS. It left me with no scars. I have personality faults, but that isn't one of them. ~MaryAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-736448434152217111.post-78839323552222390192009-04-30T18:20:00.000-04:002009-04-30T18:20:00.000-04:00Glen Beck is not one to be talking about indoctrin...Glen Beck is not one to be talking about indoctrination. Kudos to all who volunteer, young and old. Volunteerism rocks. I feel guilty that I haven't done a lot of volunteering lately. Back in CT, I was Volunteer of the Year in my town once. Feeling wonderful about doing something for others is the best payment in the world.Laurelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03664721949113509873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-736448434152217111.post-14724995727768233612009-04-30T18:14:00.000-04:002009-04-30T18:14:00.000-04:00KISS (the band)...

If you didn't do two years in the Armed Forces, you should do something in the Peace Corp. I know I would have been in the Peace Corp, if I wasn't so militaristic (maybe there is some German in my blood too!).<br /><br />The division in our country is due to a few folks who refuse to believe that anyone should help their fellow man. The three that you picked on here, serve their own interest. I am hard pressed to believe that they really believe the crap they spew.<br /><br />They carry on in the manner they do for their own indvidual gain.Big Mark 243https://www.blogger.com/profile/10974573439218884164noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-736448434152217111.post-17058246952342341962009-04-30T18:00:00.000-04:002009-04-30T18:00:00.000-04:00I want to put my bid in for KISS ... let me go and...I want to put my bid in for KISS ... let me go and read!Big Mark 243https://www.blogger.com/profile/10974573439218884164noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-736448434152217111.post-36602965712860403862009-04-30T17:15:00.001-04:002009-04-30T17:15:00.001-04:00Beth, Community service = Hitler's Youth Group, oh...Beth, Community service = Hitler's Youth Group, oh, but of course! WTF is wrong with the "right?" Oh wait, I forgot, practically everything. I heard there was a poll this week where only 21% of those polled claimed to be Republicans. The Grand Ole Party has some splainin' to do, Lucy, before it can ever expect respect again. (Try saying that five times fast!) Glen "The Wreck" Beck, Rush the Lush, Ann "The Man" Coulter, et al are a bunch of hateful, vengeful, right-wing freaks. Maybe they could all take a nice, long vacation in Mexico City together...<br /><br />"He could probably stumble across the cure for cancer, find a way to feed every starving person on the entire planet, and make contact with an alien race who loves us and wants to help us (and knows the cure for aging and baldness), and Beck would cry like a little girl and talk about how he fears for his country. Crackuh, please."
