You can poll a group and get whatever you want. I don't believe the majority of Americans agree with this.

I agree polls are not worth the paper they are written on. If you know how you can create anything you want data wise using polls.

Online polling conducted by a French company, what could go wrong?

"The sample for this study was randomly drawn from Ipsos’ online panel (see link below for more info on “Access Panels and Recruitment”), partner online panel sources, and “river” sampling (see link below for more info on the Ipsos “Ampario Overview” sample method) and does not rely on a population frame in the traditional sense."

Here is a measured opinion from watching bullies in school, work, the military and the world in general. Bullies don't respond to kindness, forgiveness, being polite or diplomatic. I'm 5'9" and probably didn't weight 165 through most of my High School years, so the school bullies would try to target me for the treatment. What made them stop was the fact that I would hit back, even if I took an ass whopping for doing it. Bullies, in High School or in the World Governments, want victims that don't punch back. The fact is that since 1978 we have taken a lot of bullying from Iran and not responded in the appropriate manner. I'm all for letting the Third World police itself, but most of the conflicts in the Middle East have Iranians hands in the mix somewhere, often targeting US interest and personnel. We didn't respond in kind for the Embassy Hostages, we didn't respond in kind to the Beirut Embassy bombings, or the Marine Barracks bombing. Nothing shows they are willing to quit and projections of Democratic revolt or reforms are pipe dreams by people that are in denial of the reality in the Country. So to be crude about it, if you act like a Pussy, other countries will treat like a Pussy.

Sadly, children aren't allowed to learn that lesson today. They live under the rule of Zero Tolerance

CPT Jack Durish - I think children are over protected these days from having to put up with the big guy that wanted your lunch money, but they can be subjected to much more damaging effects of internet bullying and being victimized in social media. Kids and Teens can be a cruel and heartless lot.
Bullies are one of the things that gets that big red streak on the back of my neck glowing. Over half the fights I've had in my life were caused by intervening for somebody that couldn't or wouldn't fight back. Can't say that it worked out well for me all the time, but at least I had a choice in the matter.

LOL! Of course they do. Polls are so accurate, aren't they?
