    Funny how the people who always insist that software development is "collaborative" are the ones who mean "you do your job, and you do my job, too".

    You

    If you think that's what "collaboration" means

    How in hell did you get to there?

    And no, that's not what he would be teaching them. He'd be teaching them self control and forethought. But to understand that, my friend, would require you think beyond your preconceptions.

    A backhand is the sign of a brute. You can easily shatter an kid's zygomatic arch with a knuckle. A measured spanking, while still physical, isn't.

    There are two concepts involved with divorce that render your first argument as invalid as you consider his: alimony and child support. Both of which, by the way, can change over time to reflect later greater earnings. (Oddly, rarely lesser earnings.)

    How quaint that you actually trust government employees. Even those you elect. It's especially quaint given the historically ongoing reality that they've not shown themselves worthy of said trust.

    No one is suggesting you have to look at it. You however, are suggesting that I should be prevented.

    (*How well those representatives are actually looking out for us is outside the scope of this discussion)

    No, it is exactly the point.

    How, pray tell, are we citizens supposed to oversee our representatives if we're not allowed to view the data (throwing a sans in the direction of national security issues) they're making their decisions on?

    Chemical warfare against civilians is a breach of international law. Once they purposely forfeit that, one shouldn't expect they be treated as model world citizens. In other words: There are laws against assault. Those are ignored if you assault someone beating the shit out of a kid. The assailant in that case is not a "bad guy".
