Police put their lives on the line to about the same extent as taxi drivers.

Just sticking to the facts. The guy providing you with food or furniture is risking far more than the guy giving you a ticket.

I'm going to take exception to this.

I take shit over my avatar only from the same five or six people that give me shit for everything I post. The picture is just another excuse for a pile on.

The picture shows less than you would see in a bikini shot. She's met about half the people here and doesn't care that I put it up.

The real issue is my politics. If I was a right wingnut, these same people giving me shit over my avatar would be praising my over it.

Phil correct me if I'm wrong but I don't remeber giving you asny shit over your politics (which I don't agree with 100% but thats your beliefs and you have a right to them) and I KNOW I have never said a word about your avatar either good or bad. (for the record I like it and think it's cool) I don't agree that you should take people that you interact with on a daily or weekly basis for their beliefs just because they don't jive with your own. Just my $.02.

Wow, not sure what all went down in here yesterday but it looks like TooMany had a meltdown over a post that was meant to be humorous.

Oh well...

Maybe I should start poking bears more often.

21.8. Close to the 21.3 of taxi drivers/chauffers, and nowhere near the 111.8 and 86.4 of fishermen and loggers respectively.

As I said. The truth of the matter is that many people put their lives on the line to a far greater extent than police officers do. That's the only point I was addressing.

Next time a cracked up meth head fisherman packing a 9mm tries to blow your nuts off, please post it up.

Bullsh*t.

I have never said a word about your avatar and I will again keep my thoughts to myself but I can promise that my opinion of it would be exactly the same regardless of your political views.

I find it very curious that he is making the announcement so suddenly. Usually he would post about something like this for a long time before actually doing it. You know, bragging about how good his pension is, how great his life is going to be, etc.

I wonder if there is more to the story of him leaving his job. Just sayin'.
