Working 35 hours a week for teachers is completely wrong. I'm not sure where you got that but the teachers around here work longer than that.

As for other items that are public service and worthless, stop paying taxes, don't elect those who hire unnecessary personnel, or convert the masses who obviously don't mind.

Teachers may spent 35hrs on the ground in school but countless hours grading papers, developing lesson plans, and performing other numerous ad hoc duties that is way above and beyond their salary. Sad really.

As for lawyers, people sure like trashing them but run right to them when they spill their McDonald's coffee in their lap. Don't like them? Don't hire them.

You missed where he said 35 "on the job" hours. Because all the hours teachers spend getting prepared to teach is not working.

Same goes for cops. Hate the one that gives you a ticket but love the same guy that would take a bullet for you.

Again, I AM referring to on the job hours. And as was mentioned you DO have to consider the time grading papers, etc. So when all is said and done, they spend more than 40. Since they don't clock in it is very difficult to define "on the job". But I guarantee if he came to my daughter's school, he'd have to admit he was completely wrong.

Sorry my sarcasm was not strong enough. Believe me I know, my wife is a teacher, and one of the finest I have seen. In my honest opinion.

Surely not talking about the cop here in Orlando that was dismissed for offering a lady to let her off on the traffic violation if she performed oral sex on him.

Cops here in the ATL are under fire (no pun intended) for getting carried away with killing unarmed brothers and little old ladies at night. I expect a march to occur very soon....NYC 80's style.

Give the cops a reason to stop profiling the 'brothers', and they'll stop.

As many execs spend part of their salary on business suits, briefcases, blackberry's, etc...

Point to this?

How the hell can you bash a teacher? Some suck, but the ones that do it for the right reasons are worth every dime they receive and then some.

I have three boys that are full time college students.Should I tell them to engage in hand to hand combat if they come upon a crazed gunmen such as this, carry a gun illegally, just what exactly should I tell them.I know, according to you, they shouldn't get their cell phone out and call 911 and take cover, correct?:no:

Read the following:
And so the warrior must strive to confront denial in all aspects of his life, and prepare himself for the day when evil comes. If you are warrior who is legally authorized to carry a weapon and you step outside without that weapon, then you become a sheep, pretending that the bad man will not come today. No one can be "on" 24/7, for a lifetime. Everyone needs down time. But if you are authorized to carry a weapon, and you walk outside without it, just take a deep breath, and say this to yourself...


For example, many officers carry their weapons in church.? They are well concealed in ankle holsters, shoulder holsters or inside-the-belt holsters tucked into the small of their backs.? Anytime you go to some form of religious service, there is a very good chance that a police officer in your congregation is carrying. You will never know if there is such an individual in your place of worship, until the wolf appears to massacre you and your loved ones.
I was training a group of police officers in Texas, and during the break, one officer asked his friend if he carried his weapon in church. The other cop replied, "I will never be caught without my gun in church." I asked why he felt so strongly about this, and he told me about a cop he knew who was at a church massacre in Ft. Worth, Texas in 1999. In that incident, a mentally deranged individual came into the church and opened fire, gunning down fourteen people. He said that officer believed he could have saved every life that day if he had been carrying his gun. His own son was shot, and all he could do was throw himself on the boy's body and wait to die. That cop looked me in the eye and said, "Do you have any idea how hard it would be to live with yourself after that?"

If people with no intent to inflict undue harm on other persons, armed themselves, 21 people would not have been killed at Va. Tech today. 2 or 3 would have been.

That is quite simply the most baseless, un-qualified statement I've seen since Archie Bunker of
''All in the Family'' suggested everyone should get a handgun to deter jet hijacking. You've went the extra step in the past to discredit me....but your ridiculous.
