What I would like would be a poll given that isn't worded so as to gear answers towards your viewpoint.
LOL, I thought it was pretty clear that I was being a little bit humorous with the poll. I thought Waterboarding was a dead giveaway. Anyways aside from the silliness in the vote, 66 people currently want teachers to use a paddle on their kids and 25 currently want none of the above. How do you resolve the two? Majority does not rule, when you are talking about raising children. I strongly disagree with the State forcing things on kids that the parents do not consent to. I think the best way to please both sets of parents is to privatize schools, and the parents who want their kids to learn discipline from a teacher can send their kid to Boot Camp Elementary School.
How about this one...Rambone, when did you stop beating your wife? Perfectly logical question isn't it? Come on, was it recently? Last month?
I think you should be asking some of these folks who got the tar beat out of them as kids, and now do the same thing to their family because it seems comfortable and normal.
How about this one, what have you done to rid yourself of the toxins in your body, that you know you have, from the vaccinations you received as a child? You know, the ones that give you seizures and have caused you other health maladies over the years.

you also are forced to pay for our roads whether you use them or not, pay for your Governmental bodies whether you agree with them or not, heck here in St. Joseph county we pay for recycling whether we use it or not. We are forced to pay for many things in this state we may or may not use...like public schools.
Generally we classify these social programs as varying degrees of Socialism. The debate arises from how many of these programs are constitutional, necessary, affordable, effective, and fair. I don't think garbage disposal or education should be in the hands of the government, but road work is a fair compromise, if handled on the local level. JMHO
