[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My view as a parent is that you should suck it up and be useful to society even if you don’t feel like it. I never feel like spending time in a warehouse. I have a genuine interest in sleeping in on the weekends. But I sign myself up to package goods or sort donations anyway.  [/quote]

I am useful to society by obeying the law, having a job, paying taxes, raising my kids properly, etc. The idea that I have any other obligation to go do things I don't want to do "to be useful to society" is preposterous.[/quote]

Personally, I am so glad that the people in my (and my kids') orbit do not share your worldview.[/quote]

Are you sure this is a true statement?  Again, more than 80% of all adults don't do any community service.

This 20% includes parents who coach their kid's sports team...and most don't do that for charitable reasons quite honestly.  Remove that, and you probably are well under 10% of all adults.[/quote]

10% is one and 10.  Be one of the one in 10 instead of being a freeloader.[/quote]
