    Catherine THE GREAT, signing in for duty!!!!!!

    A sassy Brit/Irish fellow? I like it already. Do you do a jig while saying "How do you, fine sirs and ladies."? with a British accent? Or, at the very least "Top of the Mornin' to ya, Boyo" Regardless, welcome aboard. Nice to have ya. Look forward to some discussions.

    5 positive posts a day

    This doesn't sound like a bad idea, but I don't think we should either be rewarded or not. The rewarding thing is to get a variety of opinions melting together. Then you can form an overall opinion on the topic as a whole. If some happy stuff is here, we post feel good stuff. If it's bleak and...

    Texas Bill Allowing Teachers to

    Texas keeps makes me go :confused: One time, they seem hip and ahead of laws. And this potential law (even the thought of it, if nothing else!) will be made into a scapegoat/pariah and become a target of discussion and farcical jokes... that type of relationship. "The Kid pulled a gun, so I put...

    Have you ever been in a physical fight?

    Sometimes fights are unavoidable, no matter how much you do not seek them out. I agree there really is no point, but a lot of other people don't see it that way and this is what causes friction, and ultimately a fight. In these situations, defending oneself is the best ideas. Don't let your...

    Why are police allowed to take their weapons home?

    If this was Roman times, would you ask the soldiers in the army to give up their sword/shield and/or spear when they went to bed or got done for the day, even in enemy territory? I see this no different. Don't separate a warrior from their weapon of using, make them responsible for it. If they...

    Cop Killer, Eric Frein Pleads Not Guilty

    This is not the same situation as Michael Brown or the state of Ferguson, any other police brutality where the cop is wrong and the person was being abused and/or murdered. You cannot use this situation itself as an example to say "Double-standard" - it's obvious you are a bit hazy or behind on...

    New Mexico toddler shoots pregnant mother, father, police say

    These are the type of people who don't deserve to have kids if they can't even know simple rules of gun safety and etiquette. They're obviously shady people for even being involved with guns just laying around.

    Cop Killer, Eric Frein Pleads Not Guilty

    It isn't just speculation or right to a fair trial or anything. He should be imprisoned immediately with no chance of parole, until he can be deemed insane or not and then held at an asylum the rest of his life. He's messed up. He quit doing what he was doing, went off the grid, and hid killing...

    Police gathered at a private house for the Superbowl while on duty

    I believe they should be allowed to wear earbuds in one ear to listen to a radio on an mp3 player or smartphone. They could still be on patrol, and should still be on patrol - those major events are the times when some businesses are most vulnerable. But they're humans too, and they love sports...

    Personal Cameras on each unit?

    Most people may think this akin to an attack on their personal privacy and issues, or the act of "Big Brother" - but if we can listen and all that for sleeper cells, and the government can already track our phones and everything, I doubt this would be outside the scope of achieve-ability. You'd...

    Cop Killer, Eric Frein Pleads Not Guilty

    I live in Pennsylvania. I also was around the area where he murdered the cops. If he isn't guilty, who is? The insanity plea? Really? Those policeman had families and lives too. People who do these crimes never stop to think about anyone but themselves, and the ripples they'll leave. If the cop...

    Calls 911 for a Date

    Hey man , you never know. I've seen someone propose to the operator over these calls, or tell them horrible things they'd do to them. It never occurs to the people on the other end that they were being tracked, I don't think. Lol!

    Death Penalty, for or against?

    Why they should live? Because killing them is the easy way out - it's what they want. If you force them into some deep and dark hole for the rest of THEIR life, they will either break under the intense mental pressure or they'll be a shadow of their former self. If you kill them off, you're...

    Personal Cameras on each unit?

    Thanks for all your responses. It's nice to know some people feel the same way as I do. However the breach of privacy issues that you may encounter, I believe this would be for the whole a benefit. This would stop all these common police brutality issues and the he-said she-said of it all...

    Personal opinion on marijuana?

    Especially people who say that it's a hard drug like cocaine and people like that. You'll have a hard time convincing a lot of people who've been set in their ways since kids. However, it may be insensitive to say this but when the older generation dies off who holds on to these ideals, I...

    Do you prefer to work out at the gym or at home?

    The Gym, with friends. By myself home. If I'm motivated to work really hard and I got a good spotter/buddy with me, I can push myself. If not, I tend to just do push ups or crunches/situps.
