DCP Debates: Toilet Paper Over or Under?

It’s time for another DCP debate.  We debate the topics nobody wants to discuss.  The hard-hitting topics that deserve real answers.  Everyone has an opinion and we provide the platform for you to express yourself.  Today’s topic: Toilet Paper.  More important, the 50/50 question: Should the roll feed over or under?  Perhaps we should have addressed this topic on World Toilet Day, but that’s a debate for another day.  Now, we’re asking you to pick a side:
