OK that was good enough. I didnt mean some kind of official process, just that he should not say it.

Thank you.

rcrusso, you can say whatever you want, but saying someone should kill swamp, regardless of how idiotic some of his posts are, is a pretty stupid thing to say.

Good enough for me.

I dont understand why when rational people come together to discuss important watercooler issues impacting Americans that some on the left like you need to turn it into a personal attack fest. Why the bitterness.

You guys won. Why not try to reach out and talk to the other side.

Can you give a few examples of something that I do that no one else here on the Pit does?

see, I have no problem with rcrusso saying **** you fat *** to swamp....may not be my style, but that doesn't make it wrong

The usual liberal-hate stuff -      think merit should be important, don't find racism under every rock,  think Sarah Palin is a good person, use common sense and logic sometimes,  cite facts, use quotes, mention 'religion' without throwing up a little,  believe in politeness, think union thugs are the lowest form of primate, think 'patriotism' isn't a bad thing,  see the word 'illegal' in the phrase 'illegal alien'  - you know, all the things that progressive liberals can't fathom or relate to.   
Plus you don't play with Chris Matthews dolls, or wish you could rub your hands through Rachel Madow's hair.    And you don't turn into a pathetic drooling bitter old man whenever America is mentioned.

On the other hand, your defense of Suh, your love of Detroit, and your taste in women are kind of suspect....but to each his own.

Columbine...had an armed Resource Officer who happened to be out patrolling the Smoker's Pit at the time. They can't be everywhere.

Ft. Hood.....duh...someone must have been armed, despite what Fencer has said about the soft nature of military bases.

Va Tech...campus police, although to be fair, I don't know if they are armed.

Does every building on a campus have to have its own armed security? Who is going to pay for that? I know how fiscally minded you all are. Is it okay if the security belong to a union, like many police are? Does the money for this come out of education budgets?


And as for calls for "secret" security ala sky marshals....so how is a teacher supposed to react when they see someone with a gun on campus? Are they supposed to be alarmed or reassured? What course of action should they take? If they are carrying should they shoot first and ask questions second?

Military bases are not armed camps in CONUS, unless it is involved in nuclear weapons.    Everything is locked up and takes time to get.    I don't think it would cost extra to have volunteer school employees also be trained and armed.     Yoou don't have to hire rent-a-cops for it.    You could have volunteers (note - volunteers) take training, apply for, and get a license to carry.   Special training on handling and storing things works on campuses that have radioactive material, or controlled substances.
Despite the screaming about how pure teachers are and how world-peace dominates the failure called 'education', there would be volunteers.
No one needs to know which teacher has one.  If any.   Maybe no one would have one.   But we could take down the stupid 'Gun Free Zone' posters, and at least make it risky.
Somewhere, maybe down the street from you, is a lonely bullied kid on medication, and he's going to do something bad.    You want to throw the obstacle in his way that makes it unlikely for his mother to have multiple guns, fine.    But there are also other obstacles to use.    Why are you against them?
Criminals and crazy people don't give a damn about whatever law you want to make.  I don't understand why that is so hard to grasp.
