Do the unwashed masses (i.e. "people") need to be controlled?

If no, why not?

If yes, how much and by whom?

Discuss.

 

[Truthmatters]

Maybe they just need a shower?

 

[txlonghorn]

define controlled

kept in line

 

[Nosmo King]

Law breakers, or just the folks you seem to be snearing about?

 

[Avatar4321]

Nah, just need to be baptized and taught good principles, then they will govern themselves.

Not so much controlled as pacified. 'Control' is too loaded a word. It is inadequate for the purposes of this kind of a discussion. Did the founding fathers wish to control the masses, or did they opt to go the root of preventing what the masses could do with government?

yeah. that ALWAYS works out!

I think we're controlled enough. I know I don't need another line to be kept inside of.

I really don't want them to be controlled, but after working at Kmart in poor neighborhood when I was younger, I wish we could.
I learned to hold my breath, and act like I was getting something underneath the counter so I could take a breath. lol
Summer time is the worst!
I saw one couple who had black legs, because they had not taken a shower for probably months. ewww

Once you receive your chips you'll understand what control is all about.

Do the unwashed masses need to be controlled?

Yes. Yes, they do.

If no, why not?

I already said that they do.

If yes, how much...?

All the time.

...and by whom?

By the cleansed.

Discuss.

No discussion necessary. Them's the facts. Read'em and weep, bitch!

 

[strollingbones]

It works out very well. Unfortunately, it's rarely tried.

 

[CrusaderFrank]

Why not ask "Why do some people feel they need to control others?"

I have met a few "good" christians that didn't shower. And strong values doesn't solve every problem.
