Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind absolutely without a doubt! It's a movie that isn't necessarily mainstream, but I feel like it reaches a huge audience and in my opinion is the most enjoyable movie out there.

The simple fact of the matter is it has to be a 'socialist' way to revitalized fallen cities. If you want to improve bridges, roads, public buildings, then you have to use taxes to do it.

You know he'd do it again for less if all of the things we're shown are to be facts.

I don't know what people expect to happen - I'm usually leaning way toward the non-lethal means but there's only so much you can do.

I'm an aspiring officer myself - so welcome to the community and I hope you get the same value I've gotten from the little while I've been lurking ;)

Hey there! Not a cop (yet, maybe?) but certainly a welcoming community!

Do you recommend still immediately disclosing that I have a firearm and CCW or would that come off as either disrespectful or?

Honest question - is there any way to deal with this aside from putting more weapons into schools or taking weapons away from everyone? I don't want either, and I don't think either can be done, so we need a solution facing away from those two things rather than beating up a brick wall.

This ridiculous overreaction to Ebola is absolutely silly. Even Nigeria has contained the virus - just think of the Flu that kills a lot more people and spreads a lot easier, too. It's not anyone's fault for being scared but blame the 24/7 sensationalist news media with nothing else to cover...

For sure not Einstein - I feel like he would just give me a bunch of things that I couldn't understand. I would choose Winston Churchill - someone who could explain very complex things to me in a way I could get through it actually learning something.

In a heartbeat if I had the cash! It'd be a blast and as much as you'd be scared to do it you'd have a blast on your way down. Especially if you do it the chicken way, with a trainer attached to you, even then it looks crazy.

I agree - I don't understand the point of street racing at all. I've seen the cross-country 'events' which were cute but certainly served no other purpose than to provide an excuse to use the highways as a means of travel. It forced the cops to give out tickets for 5MPH over just because they...

As said a ton before, as a non-cop, in the United States the police have to be armed. I think they (generalizing, sorry) typically go for the gun far too often and quicker than they do the taser but that doesn't mean that we should take the guns away. The entire point of 'good guy with a gun' is...

I'm not a drug addict, or ex-drug addict, but I have the same question so I'd like to piggy back on your question - what does joining the police academy entail and what are the actual recruitment rates once out?
