    Those who are able to work, and refuse the opportunity, should not expect society's support.
    I hope none of you guys disagreed to that but I have a feeling Ron
    did.

    I actually didn't get this question, because I thought it was meant to imply that those on disability are 'faking it', like I didn't know what the definition of 'able to work' was. People will say that about an 18 year old girl with a baby who has no daycare access or a person with a mental illness and I would disagree.


    And I don't think the question all authority one meant you actually sit and question, it just means there's no level of authority you automatically accept as infallible.

    The questions are way too vague. When They asked about the "able to work" question, I imagined someone who was just sitting on their ass all day refusing the work that's been offered to them.

    That's precisely what it said.

    Not vague at all.

    Well after reading how Bowie interpreted it, it could mean what she thought. Like someone could physically be able to work, but circumstances, rather than a disability, stop them.

    No one chooses his or her country of birth, so it's foolish to be proud of it.
    lolwut why would it be foolish?

    All authority should be questioned.
    what annoying asshole has time to question ALL authority?

    It's natural for children to keep some secrets from their parents.
    That's a fact, how is this even a question?

    The most important thing for children to learn is to accept discipline
    what kind of discipline? self discipline? corporal?

    Those who are able to work, and refuse the opportunity, should not expect society's support.
    I hope none of you guys disagreed to that but I have a feeling Ron did.

    Abstract art that doesn't represent anything shouldn't be considered art at all.
    ridiculous

    In criminal justice, punishment should be more important than rehabilitation.
    one in the same IMO

    It's foolish. Where you're born is random, so why be proud of it? Accomplishments are something to be proud of, not something random.

    All authority should be questioned. Like Bowie said..... "There's no level of authority you automatically accept as infallible."

    Not a fact. Some people think kids and parents should have NO secrets.

    I don't see what's so vague about discipline in this question.

    Of course I disagreed with this. Why wouldn't I?  :lol:

    I don't see what's confusing or vague about the art question either.

    Punishment and rehabilitation couldn't be more different. A violent felon should be punished, but if someone has an addiction that gets them into trouble, they need treatment, not punishment.


    ETA: I find it hilarious that Bowie and Sauce went 2 totally different ways with that 'not working' question. :lol:
    Some of the questions were vague, but the ones above I saw no problem with.

    yeah, because I felt like some of them were trick questions, like worded very dogmatically.

    It doesn't matter if people think there shouldn't be. It is a fact that there is. I learned that from a child psychologist who is helping out with my custody case.

    for example. My sister never clips her toe nails, yet her toe nails are always short. I ask her why and she says she has her own clippers, but I know that's a lie and that she really bites them.

    All kids lie to their parents about lots of things.

    ETA: what bowie said. they're trick questions.
