    Very very very well done for the pre-roll ad at the beginning. Reason vs. Lunacy.

  • Dimi...

    Forgot to tell you: I got in this gunfight yesterday going Christmas shopping. Fuk's sakes. Leave it to me. I only had my 9mm. Moron. Anyways... the other guy had an AK. I was ducking, dodging, bobbing and weaving... it was over for me. I could only squeeze off a couple of blind rounds (I was hiding below a bunch of sandbags stacked in the mall parking lot... reaching over the top firing somewhere in his general direction). Just when I thought I was tits up... this lady screamed up in her Toyota Avalon... jumped out with her M-16... and fired 12 rounds into the asshole who was trying to get me. I bought her an egg nog latte.

    She told me afterwards she didn't really know who was the bad guy, but figured the aggressor with the bigger gun was and she promptly let him have it. Thank God she was right! Geezuz.

    All the schools should have them for numerous reasons but most especially
    because it teaches respect and reality.

    It is a positive thing.

    Likewise... if you drop your keys in a river of molten lava... let 'em go. Because man, they're gone.
    I have heard that unhappy people are filled with negativity. Positivity
    makes people happy and others around them as well.

    I have experienced resource officers and they are a positive person in children's lives.
    It is not armed guards in our schools. It is resource officers.
    They are wonderful people who teach much to our children.
    They are mentors to help show children to follow the law, care about others,
    be respectful and to realize the reality we live in. They provide safety
    and a quick reaction to back up law enforcement.
    Police presence helps to keep lawlessness from happening, they are our friends.

    All the Jefferson quotes out there, I like this one.

    “I am not an advocate for frequent changes in laws and Constitutions. But laws and institutions must go hand in hand with the progress of the human mind. As that becomes more developed, more enlightened, as new discoveries are made, new truths discovered and manners and opinions change, with the change of circumstances, institutions must advance also to keep pace with the times. We might as well require a man to wear still the coat which fitted him when a boy as civilized society to remain ever under the regimen of their barbarous ancestors.”

    -Thomas Jefferson

    Oh wouldn't that be lovely. No guns anywhere.
    But unfortunately we can't do that. Criminals will always have guns.
    Evil will find guns. Responsible gun owners will hide them so they are prepared
    to protect against criminals. We can not control people
    therefore we must be prepared and protect as best we can.
    Resource offers are a very positive influence as I mentioned for so many reasons
    besides the obvious.
    My children now grown adults still speak of him though it has
    been well over a decade.

    Let's get that ball rolling. Resource offices in schools nationwide immediately.
    It can also help bring employment to many.

    Positively not ...

    Positive influences in children's lives is immeasurable. :D

    I think that should come primarily from parents. Teachers should educate first, with the above aspects coming through by how they conduct themselves. Leading by example.

    Interesting thread!

    Happy Saturday, all :P

    Well, yes, but I was referring to the comments regarding schools.

    Armed officers in schools are just that - whatever 'gentle' name one wants to give them. How many would one need it the school? One for each entrance? One in front of each classroom? From the time the first child arrives to the time the last one leaves?

    Teaching respect and reality???? What reality? Carry a gun, shoot and kill?

    As a poster said, those kind of things are taught by the parents.

    I don't want them in my kids school. As I said earlier, scares me a lot more than making me feel safer. More guns is NOT the answer. I just can't wrap my head around adding guns to a learning environment as being positive.

    Negativity abounds.

    Do you think our Police can only teach gun violence?

    Do you think Police have nothing to offer a child but a gun?

    Do you not respect Police Officers?

    This a sad perspective to a very positive influence in a child's life.

    As I said we have them here and they are loved. A valuable part of the school experience.
    As are the workings together of parents, teachers and community.
    We had one full time and one part time. They were friends and we were glad to know them.
    It is important for children to know Police are our friends.

    Perhaps you can try to be more positive and not paint our Police in a unattractive light.
    Police can influence children in so many positive ways. Any reasonable person will admit this.
    Resource Officers are wonderful.

    I believe he will at a prearranged later date.

    The media was called out as being part of the problem. I think a cooling down time was
    probably a good idea.

    Truth hurts.

    Man, this is the biggest crock of shit I have ever heard...well since your last post at least :lol:

    Come on. We had cops in our school because we had a run of bomb threats the same year as Columbine but it did nothing to teach me to respect cops. Well, he did get me out of serious trouble once our twice :o . Seriously though, the only way to teach kids to respect cops is have them in the schools. Give me a break. I am friends with about half a dozen Philadelphia Police Officers and just because I think putting armed guards in schools is a terrible idea does not mean I think any less of what they do. Hell, I had a cop over last night in full uniform while she was on her break. The last thing she wants to do is be holed up in a school.

    Aren't you all anti taxes too? How do you suggest we pay for armed cops in every school? Higher taxes?

    You forgot to include fathers, dimitri ;)

    I can remember many events when I was in elementary school - aged 7, 8...we'd have these evenings at my school where the police would come and meet with the parents and children and teachers, as a community. I definitely thought of them as friendly, ones who would/could keep us safe.

    (I was also a huge Adam-12 fan at the time, so go figure!)

    Taxpayers of course. Please let's not bring something so valuable to a monetary debate.
    It is priceless the value of child police relationship. This the positivity that lasts a lifetime.
    Nothing like learning cops are good people. It is not only for safety but for relationship value.

    We can see in others who never learn this value, filled with negativity,
    we see how they conduct themselves with others.
    Very disrespectfully, very much in bullying ways. Resource officers properly trained,
    make all the difference in a person's life.


    I could only wish this will come to your school so you can open your heart
    to a lovely human being who will mean much to you and children.
