Ive seen this one before.....Funny...we had a shooting club at my school....I bet it isnt there any more.

It's definitely not fair... When I was in school, if I did something wrong, my parents sided with the teacher. Now that I'm a chem teacher, when a kid does somethig wrong and you inform the parent, they side with the kid, and you're in a battle with the parent and kid vs. the teacher. And that is usually with an administration that is as spineless as our government at times. No that's definitely not fair...

I still believe in the old saying that children should be seem and not heard. If they had the proper discipline at home this whole country would be in better shape.

Hmmm!

Won't hear me say the police don't abuse the citizens and the DA's ain't out to make a name for themselves at everybody else expense. DA's should be held accountable for people they charge that are innocent and have to pay for wrong doing with advancements in their career at other folks expense.
And Police officers having to make quotas at out expense. That is wrong.
Git my drift.
