Volunteered voluntarily? You should go back and finish elementary school.
Yay ad hominem!
It's funny, apparently your elementary school didn't teach you all that much either did they? Would seem that I chose to phrase it that way on purpose since... well... you know it's weird to put the terms next to each other like that right? Might lead a reader to actually think about the concepts and infer some meanings that the author might have been trying to impart.
But that's okay. You'll do better next time!
But here, let me barney style it for you. If you work for a living... and have to pay taxes for a service that's occurring rather than volunteering and handling it yourself, you are in a sense volunteering... in an involuntary manner, your pay to pay for that service!
HUZZAH! Almost like words can have meaning!
I love how condescending you're trying to be!
I return what I get.
