Why Esperanto?

Why Esperanto?

Because the philosophy of the language resonates with me, it's fairly easy as to learn as far as languages ago, and there's a very active community of speakers around the world.

Anthony Johnson fighting Aug. 24 Titan FC. Also on the card, the MMA debut of Braulio. Braulio is going to be a very good MMA fighter IMO.

I cant tell you how many women think i would represent them for free. Hasnt happened yet...

I yhink you are probably right about people thinking they are just attractive enough.

Since i really dont think police are very neccessary, i tend to agree. But have ever met very many female cops? It takes a special kind of horrible person to want to be female in that environment. Any abuses you imagine are problematic with the maled, multiply that time 5 with the females.

When you say multiply that 5 times with women what do you mean? The way women would abuse civilians or the way cops would abuse the women?

Female cops are a lot worse about breaking the rules IME. It may be that they are trying to be extra tough to make it in a man's field, but female cops are a lot worse IME.

I actually have 2 expreriences with Female cops.

1- My Aunt was a cop, I can see her being a real mutherfucker on the force, she was a mean one sometimes. Used to smack up her Husbands (yes plural) and shit. Some classic family stories are about her goin Ham on her husbands

2- I got pulled over when I was like 19, had no insurance/license etc. My son was in the car, and this fuckin Male Cop was pulling me outta the car acting like a fuckin asshole. Had me spread out on the hood. Said he was callin child protective services to come get my kid, blah, blah, blah. He went back to the car, and his Female partner said, dont worry, he aint gonna do shit, he is just trying to scare you. She was being cool as shit. All that punk ass cop did was give me some tickets and scraped the stickers (which were also fake) off my car.

[edman5555]

Yeah i think there is a larger percentage of assholes in law enforcement than in other professions. Probably because you can be an asshole and get away with it. I think most people know that when they look at a law enforcement as a profession.

[edman5555]

They also deal with a lot of shit and probably end up taking it out on other people. Most people behave like that in life. I would think it is the same for police.

[MMA_scientist]

I am generalizing. The cops I have known have actually been real nice guys for the most part. I have only dealt with a handful of female cops, and all of them were pretty obnoxious. There was one female cop that used to do all sorts of rule breaking and I had to deal with her a lot on suppression issues where I was arguing she violated the 4the amendment. But generally, I think there has to be something wrong with you if youwant to be a cop, and that is doubly so if you want to be the only woman working with 500 meatheads.

If i was a cop, I would not be able to handle the power. Anytime someone looked at me funny, I would be pullin8g out my badge and gun. I would have that shit out all the time... i would be the wprst cop ever. I don't care if people commit victimless crimes so I would never arrest people, but I would be rocking out all over town with my gun and badge drawn.

Yeah. I think that the only reasons to be a cop are:

1. You are particularly idealistic and have a genuine desire to serve and protect.

2. You want a job that will let you be a dick to people and abuse your authority.

or

3. You want a stable career, but don't have a college education. If this was me though, I'd just go big and join the military.

[MMA_scientist]

Also, at one point I was going to be in the FBI. I passed their tests, but probably would have failed the psych profile (I have actually been denied a job because of those stupid personality tests before). But I changed my mind and became the drain on society that you have all come to know and love.
