One day, I will take a pen, paper and start calculating just how much of my life was stolen by the state.

And I know, that once I see that number, I will never wake up the next day.

@LukeAlmighty Are you referring to conventional taxes only? Or also more abstract things that are harder to measure?

@Jens_Rasmussen
The idea came, because there are talks being made about mandatory military service in here. And when I wanted to explain to someone about losing an year of my life to state mandated bullying, I also remembered the 20 years of school.

After that, taxes obviously came to mind........ As I said, if I ever calculate it, I will in fact go collect it all back with interest from someone.

@LukeAlmighty Our mandatory military service (Which is not really mandatory at all) will be extended to also cover women next year. Very cringe.

I do believe that some military service can be good for most men, assuming there is no abuse and such of course.
Learning some basic first aid, how to handle a firearm and getting some basic fitness at least at one point in life are all good.

@Jens_Rasmussen
Bro...
I was already stolen 20 years of life by school, and it tought me nothing about first aid, fitness or handling firearms. But, military service is not a self-help camp. It is a state mandated slavery.

Do you REALLY want to tell me, that it couldn't fit into the already stolen 20 years of school service?

@LukeAlmighty More militarized high schools, you say? It could be an alternative 🤔
@LukeAlmighty You said that the military skills should be fitted into regular schooling. 20 years is also more than the minimum required years of schooling, I might add.
