She is an A grade bucket mouth and  nutter BUT does this idea of hers hold merit

Is it a  good idea or not

Me i like the idea

Lots of benefits would come from it and it would help a lot of unemployed youth get some experience, some training and even some pride in themselves

Which begs the question: if someone doesn't provide sources for the facts they claim to be in possession of, how are others to know how they know what they know?

Thanks

If you really want to effect social change, the Armies not the vehicle to do it.

If you want to instil into a person a sense of pride, self-discipline and a respect for others, then you do that when they are child by setting standard and enforcing them, because, if they haven't learnt those qualities by the time they are old enough to go to exotic places and get shot at, then 1 years compulsory service is not going to overcome 19 years of prior neglect.

Yes, yes it does. It is the study of "how we know what we know", so it makes sense that it would ask that question.

But if we don't demonstrate to others how we know what we know, how are they to know that we really know it?

[the_great_she_elephant]

It is really no one's business (in this environment) how I or anyone else knows what they know,

Perhaps, but the word credibility does rather spring to mind.

We can quote %'s to back up our side of the argument but not show others a reliable source where these details came from? Don't think so.

Singapore had compulsory military training for 18 yr olds. If a Singapore born youth left the country before they were 18 and never came back to do their CMT when they were 18 they were banned from living in Singapore for the rest of their lives.

I am not sure if they still have it.

A friend of mines brother married a women from Singapore who had a child, they lived in NZ after they were married. Her son was very torn about the CMT he didn't want to do it, but his Grandmother lived there and he wanted to be able to go back and visit her.

lady*G - your are going on and on and on about something now that isn't even the topic of this thread.

Mea culpa!
I introduced the hypothetical medical student which seems to have somehow grown into what Gough did and something about a word I can't spell, let alone pronounce!

Now, back to the subject of Jacqui Lambie is a numpty

You obviously know this information, so why don't you tell everyone how you know, if it concerns you so much?

And there you demonstrate the fallacy of your argument You 'know" that I know this information (you say it's obvious) but in fact uou only think you know,  because, in reality, I do not know this information and if you read my posts you will observe that I have never claimed to know it.

I have no idea whether what you say you know is true or false, I do know that  saying one knows something doesn't automatically make it true.
