    Who says that increased funding=higher pay? I rather see an increase in bureaucracy and programs and standardized tests etc etc. I really doubt much money is going to trickle down to the teachers and workers at the schools.

    The problem with "educating our childern" isnt the amount of money put in the system, but that children just dont want to be educated. Its much easier to live on a hand-out from a liberal welfare program.

    Well, considering that the "rag heads" DID attack first then there would be some evidenct that the borders needed protecting.

    I think that the DNC logo should be an ostrich. They always seem to think that ignoring a threat and disarming yourself would promote peace when all it really does is encourage hostility. Lets make a gun free zone so nobody can break the law by shooting a lot of people in the mall! Lets get rid of our military nobody can invade us! Yay! We are so smart!

    Ya, i mean fighting oppression and tyranny is so uncompasisonate. Those poor fools deserved to stay under a military dictator so can enjoy my big screen TV without worrying about the constant news alerts about the war.

    Paraphrasing a line I just heard a while ago, in war the innocent die along side the guilty, but if you do nothing only the innocent die.

    How did the "Bush-Hussain" pissing match drain the nation of resources? Less money has been spent on the war in Iraq than any national health plan would. I dont care about what made up numbers they come out to say it would "only" cost so much. That would be of much larger economic damage than Iraq.

    If we cant afford one, we cant afford the other either so it is retarded to say that the war has ruined us and yet health care would have been all hunky dory.

    I've seen plenty unmarked police cars that were not crown vics to invalidate that. Spotlights maybe, but you don't need as many antennas as you used to so they are disappearing.

    And lets look at the sentence that I was refuting
    "You'll get so your eyes can spot them in your rear view mirror a mile back through peripheral vision."

    A mile away is quite a distance, even on the freeway. Are you really that sharp that your periphial vision can determine car model from the rearview mirror at that distance? I dont think so. A car driving on the freeway dosn't have many patterns it can follow. It might weave, but that means its probably a drunk rather than a cop. What exactly is its "pattern" that is so evident? If there is no traffic then what do you expect it to do? If there is traffic then you are amazing to pick out any single car that quick.

    The real problem is that people see something, think "thats a cop" with no more than a hunch and no way to really prove it. So no matter if it is or not, they tell themselves that they are so smart for noticing it. Unless you saw him and STILL got pulled over, thereby proving it. In which case your a bonehead for walking into it.

    It seems to me that there are 2 types of people that hate cops. Criminals that flout the laws and fight them, and those that resent them and just talk trash about them because they are too scared to actually do anything about it.

    I have very very rarely met a "bad cop". I have met a lot of bad people that are kept in check by good cops.

    Absolutly correct. It is much smarter to be of the mindset of free love, world peace, and colorful flowers. You realize that if nobody of above higher intelligence would apply to the military you wouldn't have the right to insult them and would be shot for expressing yourself in such a manner as to insult those that give you the right to insult them? Its much easier for the Bad Man(tm) to take over the Good People(tm) when the Good People(tm) think they are too good and smart to defend themselves. And there will always be a Bad Man(tm) somewhere in the world.

    You realize that your comparing your self to their kids, and not the actual members right? The kids were brought there and have made no decision to be a part of the military so they can only be called "military classmates" in so far as their parents are in the military. As you point out by saying that none of them followed in their parents footsteps, that doesn't mean they are military quality themselves.
