guest- they don't talk about the bad ones because they want people to feel safe! if a cop says, "don't worry we have everything under control, you're perfectly safe- I mean this same situation happened a while ago and other cops shot a tonne of people, but don't worry." NO. you wouldn't. when it comes to bad cop stories- people don't realize how few they actually are in comparison to the majority of GOOD things they do- but of course, the media doesn't show you that. they only show you the failures.

"you guys have fucked up families" "I did break my younger sister's collar bone." because you know- that happens with every NORMAL family!

...they're in a lot of other countries too

you might struggle on the drinking one

let us make one thing clear. when a race or religion has physical features that they are known for- e.g. black skin, clothing etc- to point out that they are in fact that race or religion is not racist. it is acknowledging somebody's skin colour or religion. racism is to be hateful of somebody BECAUSE of their ethnicity. there's a fine bloody line.

here in the UK- civilians mostly don't have guns or access to guns. the police do not use guns unless necessary. I don't think you can say it's better for police to have guns when everybody is complaining about how civilians are getting shot by police in America. We don't have as many school shootings or police shootings because we don't jump straight to guns here. The police here have batons and tasers- they can subdue a criminal with a smaller possibility of fatally wounding them. Trust me, we still have guns on hand. my dad is a firearms instructor.

in that case, to be upset is 100% understandable. it just bugs me when you get people who just complain about how bad the police are online. It doesn't spread a good message. My dad is a cop so I've always been pretty secure about my faith in the British police. But in America it just seems to be getting out of hand- it's like it's worse to be a cop than a criminal

who said this was a gender war?

I think it's possible to be born with more triats of the opposite gender- but actually acting upon them and deciding "I prefer girls" or "I prefer guys" then I agree I think is a choice

guys I think the first guest was trying to be ironic...if not then feel free to continue downvoting

...nobody said this was about gender...

part of the reason sexism is still around is because people point it out at every turn. I like to refer to these people as 'drama-stirrers'. Oh look, there's one now under the anonymous title of 'guest'!
