you know, taking the piss out of stupid fundy americans would be so much more enjoyable if it wasn't so gosh-darned easy.

and comtempt for America's founding principles such as freedom of religion[4].
but, but, they said the other ones were faithless, now I'm a little confused.

this one from the main page got a laugh from me
Did you know that faith is a uniquely Christian concept? Add to the explanation of what it means, and how it does not exist on other religions.
yep, putting the mental in fundamental.

It wasn't your bedroom they didn't want the state in, it was theirs.

I really like Deborah's chocolate frog idea. Being a teacher myself I use a similar system of reward but prefer positive rather than negative reinforcement. We agree as a group on the prize for the week and the children through their actions earn or lose points toward that prize. Bribery and corruption all the way, it works every time. Obviously in this day and age Teachers are barred from using physical punishment and I think you'd be hard pressed to find one that would want to return to such a system. As I understand it (and remember this might be different to how you understand it so settle down) violence is a response to either of two emotional states anger or fear. Sometimes the children I have had over the years have made me angry, but I think I could count those times I was truly angry on one hand, and there was one particular kid who I felt like striking, but recognised that for what it was (anger) and let it go. As a teacher we hold the responsibility of loco parentis so pretty much have the role of a parental type figure when the children are at school, I sure as sure can be, would hate to think that the kids in my class are being hit by their parents, but I know some of them are and worse. Personally I think that Bradford has a slightly deranged/confused look to her, which is why the bill needs amendment and hopefully will not be allowed to become law without it.

He wants us to use a modified cattle prod to discipline children? Does anyone want to be first to borrow one of the police forces tasers to show him the error of his ways?
Obviously he's taking the piss, that suggestion just can't be serious. -

with the obvious disadvantage that hundreds could have been killed etc. but they are nasty apartments, a blot on the landscape even.
