/// Police and Teachers //// hard truths
Date: June 12, 2018 05:39AM
Police standards are different everywhere.
How do you feel about your police?
Maybe you don't think about it that much.
Maybe you should.
In some places, the police are pretty much just another street gang. Thugs.
In many places, police jobs are hard, and not well paid. This sometimes attracts the bottom of the barrel.
Unfortunately, these are people you literally trust with your life. They carry deadly force, and use it all the time. You, on the other hand, are not allowed to defend yourself with any weapons.
Do you want such people to have the personality of a high school bully?
Do you want such people to have the IQ of a garbage collector?
Do you want such people to have the ethics of a street thug?
Maybe, just maybe, deadly force should only be in the hands of the best of us?
In many areas, police are former military, "double dipping" to get two retirement pensions. Maybe men trained to blindly obey, men who were trained to murder people with weapons are not the best choice to protect civilians?
Maybe shooting kids in the back is not the type of person you want having a gun?
Hopefully you will never need help from the police. If you do, you may be a bit surprised by how you are treated.
Just something to think about, maybe do some research into on your own.

Teachers are an interesting subject.
In America, some education is compulsory. You can home school your kids, or send them to private school, but most end up in "public school".
The quality of a school often depends upon where it is located, depends upon the tax base.
This is not universally true. For example, more money is spent per student in the DC system than anywhere in the nation, and this results every year in the lowest grades and test scores in the nation.
Many people are very unhappy with the quality of the public school system. In many areas the solution to this has been to offer vouchers so parents can afford a private school.
We could take a step back and say that children are the total responsibility of their parents. You are not forced to buy their kids sneakers and toys. So why should you be forced to pay for a school when you have no kids?
Some schools have a great deal of trouble with violence. It would be very interesting if whenever a minor commits a crime, all of his relative went to jail with him at the same time. Mom, Dad, aunts, uncles, brothers sisters. All of them punished equally for failing to do their share of education at home. Parents held totally accountable for the culture they create.
Unions are a very good and important tool for workers to defend themselves when employer abuse arises.
Unfortunately, unions don't go away after the trouble is over. They keep leaching off "dues" from paychecks, and to justify their existence, they have to keep agitating.
Unions keep insisting on more pay, more benefits, less work. This attitude slowly eats an industry to death. They kill the goose that lays the golden eggs. A good example is British Steel, or the US automobile industry.
Maybe teachers need a union. Maybe they are underpaid. I don't know. I do know that an awful lot of parents seem to be very unhappy with teachers.
It would be interesting if there were actual accountability.
Imagine this: a teacher is not paid a salary negotiated by a greedy union.
Instead, they get paid based upon real world performance.
A teacher earns a fixed percentage of what their former students earn in the workforce.
If they produce a productive genius, they get rich. If they produce a flunk out drug addict, they get nothing.
I hear what teachers say, also. They tell me that most parents are lazy, stupid and entitled, just like their kids.
This sounds very convincing to me. It stands to logical reason that most people do not deserve the privilege of having kids. They have no idea how to raise and educate children in the home, demanding that all the work and responsibility has to be carried by the school and the teachers.
This is absurd, but very common.
If you want to adopt a child, there are a lot of very strict requirements you must meet. You have to be an above-average couple in order to adopt.
Unfortunately, any retarded crack addict is allowed to have any number of children they wish, and everyone in society is required to pay to try to educate them.
Maybe having a baby should be a PRIVILEGE you have to earn, not a blind right.
Think about it. Are the chances of most people producing an Einstein very high? No.
Are the chances of the average person producing a criminal high? Yes.
Average people should not bear children, only ABOVE average people should have that privilege. This is simple common sense, especially when the world is overpopulated.
All of the world's problems can be traced back to overpopulation. Poverty, war, famine, disease, economic collapse. Too many people, not enough resources.
We are very rapidly running out of clean water. It will actually run out even before the oil is gone.
Unless we take firm action now, today.
