I think many don't realize how bad this is. My wife taught for years at a school where the majority of the students came from humble means to say the least, kids without much support or example at home, and she loved it. She felt those kids really needed her, and she set up clubs, and programs...
After being married to a teacher for 20 years, I can tell you that opinions in that field are as varied as they can get.
I wonder if some of the problems we see stem from the fact that we never let our children learn to cope. When they never have to learn to deal with rejection because...
Dirt, I always enjoy your posts...but I'm not arguing, or at least I'm not trying to. This is a discussion that I feel is important, one that needs to be had, I know some react poorly to hearing opinions that differ from their own, but I don't just want to hear from people who agree with me, I...
I agree. The reason solutions aren't any closer than they were 10 years ago is because instead of working together to find solutions, the 2 sides stand with their respective group bashing "the others" with tired talking points, and neither listening to the other.
I will have to disagree with...
I honestly don't believe that we can stop all of these killers, I wish it were different, but it's not. But in several instances, there were signs, there were chances missed, there were breakdowns in the system. I know there's not perfect solution, I know there is no way to identify every...
I'm not sure exactly what your getting at. It's obvious that none of those were committed by gang members. However, if you look at the number of mass shootings being thrown around by every media outlet around, many of what they are calling mass shootings are in fact gang related incidents...
Man I'd like to go, but will just be back from CO...might cause issues if we bomb right back out the door.
We put in at Goose Island all the time, take your skeeter spray, and watch your stringer for big dinosaur lizards...
I understand that you feel this way, but I'd like to address some things.
First, if you're not going to buy the mass shootings by gang members, then you are going to have to take those numbers out of the statistics, so if we are going to set it aside, then we need to mitigate the mass shooting...
I'm short of time, so I can't really go all the way down the rabbit hole on this one, but I have to point out that of course shootings like that are unnecessary, and nobody sees it as an acceptable price to pay for owning anything. I get that you are using that as a dig at AR rifles, but that's...
For my rifle with a brake, if I'm not using my rifle cover, I use heavy duty finger cots. I bought a package of like 7 million a few years ago, still have plenty left.
