Jim will you stop giving them more things to ban? I like my spork.

I presume the emotion is meant to sway the jury. Objectivity is not common, AND the jury selection process incorporates the intent of the attorneys.
Working up emotion can definitely be a double edge sword but I get what you mean.

So they can't be sued if they make the perfect tool for murderers to murder more people.
Exactly
Tibs McVeigh used fertilizer to kill well over a hundred people, should they be liable?
In the past 5 years dozens of people have intentionally driven over others with their cars, should they be liable?
In England many people are stabbed with knives, should the knife maker be liable?

I am honestly worried that this prosecutor is going to mess this up. He has spent 3 days setting the scene with witnesses but has shown us nothing new. I was never a lawyer but it seems they could have shown the video for all the facts we need and then turned it over to the defense. I don't understand what the store clerk or all the bystanders has to do with chauvins actions, they already wish they had done things differently. I am worried that the prosecutor will spend too much time winding up the emotion and then not enough on how he broke the law.

Jimmy Carter: Democrats Should Abandon Pro-Abortion Position
Appearing on the radio talk show of conservative radio host Laura Ingraham today, former President Jimmy Carter said he believes the Democratic Party should moderate its position on abortion, which it currently supports without limits and funded at taxpayer expense.Carter said toning down the stridently pro-abortion position would help win back Republicans who abandoned the Democrats because of abortion and other liberal social issue positions.Carter said:“I never have believed that Jesus Christ would approve of abortions and that was one of the problems I had when I was president having to uphold Roe v. Wade
The point of this is that he acknowledges that the democrat position IS extreme.
Actually if he was an intelligent person he would considered a racist. Black women use abortion at a rate that dwarfs white women therefore if I said this I would be racist.

If your town does not have a problem, then why are you against cities and towns that do controlling the situation.?
Wyatt Earp stop guns in his town if Tombstone, and Matt Dillion never allow guns in Dodge to protect Miss Kitty. No frigging politician or NDA or Supreme Court stopped it.
As for myopic, ??? I only commented on your topic. The other major group I have read that are against vaccines are certain baptists groups and the State of Utah which has a huge population of certain religions.. is color a reason to reject a vaccine. NO! It is a long distrust of politicians, media, and authorities to a large group of marginalized citizens. But it is ok that a white preacher can say it.
Whoops, the little green men of Area 51 has been confirmed.
Baptists against the vaccine, huh? I am sure there is a portion but in FL we have a ton of Baptist and they are getting the shot as much as anyone. I googled " baptist against vaccine" and I found one article that was entirely anecdotal about baptists but found one discussing Catholics and how we are against the vaccine, which is news to me since no one in my parish has said that. As for Mormons
I think you need to check your sources.
Lastly you said I believe in Area 51, which exists. I though don't see how to came to the conclusion that I believe in aliens? I never mentioned them, you simply had to slander me so you had a chance to be right on something.

Well Timmy. I hope you love Florida. I am glad your guns help you feel safe.
I am glad you will be armed and able to shoot back at the nut with the AK at the local mall and protect those around you. I am hopeful that while sitting on your front porch with you kids or grandkids you will feel capable of defending them against the drive-by shooter with the gun in your pocket. I am thrilled you can sit comfortably on your patio in the morning with your coffee, newspaper and gun on the table beside you. Make sure your family members carry at all times when they are not with you. Make sure you practice often because you know what they say. I version of events is better than two.
Ps. You think you are the most conservative country yet a larger % voted against that. So what you really are is a group of people in your nation who believe in the rules of 1776 regarding guns and invasion. They also believe in the deep state, area 51, anti vaccine, that a mask restricts your freedom but speed limits, alcohol rules, hunting laws, etc do not.
Surfs up.
The NYT believes in the deep state, Black people are the most anti vaccine, and Area 51 is a real place that does top secret stuff. Your choice of topics to bash me with shows how myopic you are.

As for the rest of your diatribe, my children have no idea whether I have a gun and most likely will never need to find out. My town has never had a drive by in the past 20 years minimum, and it is unlikely to happen. If criminals know they are likely to die for trying to commit crimes in my neighborhood they don't come this way. The guns in my neighborhood keep us all safe are not a threat to anyone unless they have I'll intent.

Why I hate the Republican Party for $2000, Alex:

There is something seriously wrong with this country.
We are one of the most conservative countries on the planet and we allow you to move out whenever you want, why don't you move to a country that fits you better? I would except no one is more personal freedom then the US. It is why I left NY for FL.

I see lots of accusations but have the police stated they have received any info? When the cops officially say they have materials to look through I will be more inclined to believe the women. Though I will state at this point it will not take much for me to believe them, especially if more than one can show him apologizing about what happened through IG.

If you ask most teachers I think they’d tell you that they hate on line instruction. It’s way easier to teach in a classroom.
This a thousand times- I am in Florida and have been face to face since August and will state as a fact that if the teachers follow proper protocols that there is basically a zero percent chance of catching Covid. No one in my school has caught it at school, and the few kids who caught it from family since they were masked up before recognition they were not a threat to others. It does take some deliberate planning about classroom set up but space everyone out as best as possible and make sure as a teacher you are vigilant for masks and kids moving about. One other point I will make is that in Orange County the schools with rich parents have the most kids back while the title one schools have the least. The gap this year between the haves and have nots is growing greatly and much has to do with parents.

When did Jordan ever sacrifice money for 'winning' like you claim? He held the record for the most money for 15 years which is unheard of.. Jordan may have liked winning a great deal, but your claim he sacrificed money for it is not accurate.
The ranking position of Brady's salary. Was he the 10th highest paid QB in each of those years? 5th? How did you not get that?
Comparing the NBA salary cap to the NFL is not correct here. In 1998 Jordan as an individual($33 million) made more than the team cap($27), in the NBA teams have always been able to do things to keep players that the NFL would never allow. So the only proper comparison is other NFL players.

I don't have one single game but I had a job where I traveled around the country and spent many sunday's on the road from 2006-2013. I never missed a game and often had to move appt around and when I was on west coast I would usually start at 6am and get 8 hours of work by 10 am to watch Bills.

Ok, let me ask you. Did Franklin produce nuclear weapons or fly a kite to find electricity.
Did Franklin conceive anything like weapons of today? And the USA is being invaded by us Canadians again. The day of protecting property against invasion is over. Called nuclear bombs. No more danger from Indian uprising when out skinning their buffaloes. Seriously. 2021. AK Not needed for covid 19.
They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." Franklin quote from 1759. Please stop mentioning men who think you are stupid.

You have no ideas except constitution. That us a true joke.
Only having the constitution is like arguing who was the best player in college when LJ won the Heisman and "only" having his insane stats. Your entire argument is predicated on the constitution being wrong and intentionally being naive of the reasons for the 2nd amendment. The guns are meant as a last line of defense against invaders, as well as self defense, as well as hunting

In Washington DC government employees who were working from home were first in line to get the vaccine. My family member who works from home for the state dept and is 39 years old got the vaccine in January while his father, who is 70 with cancer, had to wait till March to get it in NYS. Govt will always look out for their own.

Gary Billstime is not a teacher but is just your basic internet troll. He when challenged with facts and logic will respond by calling you tough guy or stupid. Don't respond to him he is not worth it.

Fair enough. I'm no Saint in the way I act here, either. I apologize for all those moments I choose to resort to retailiatory mode.
That said, as to your question I'll answer from the perspective of being a teacher... and it's more complicated than a simple "yes" or "no."
First of all, I really think we would need to define what a "hard job" is. I worked in a pizza shop both in-shop and delivering pizzas starting my Junior year in High School and all throughout college. It wasn't "hard" in most respects, but it bored the hell out of me for the most part and made me miserable... especially on the longer shifts. I remember working a 12 hour shift once doing that and I was just bangin my head against the wall by the end.
If I were still doing that as a career today, I would be miserable and would probably characterize it as "hard" for that reason.
I think the trick for absolutely ANYONE (this is not a teacher-specific thing) is finding something you love to do and making that your career. Not everyone is fortunate enough to do that. In fact, a lot of people aren't. But if you can find something you love to do... it makes the job easier because even the challenging stuff is enjoyable. In fact, sometimes it's the challenging stuff that makes the job enjoyable.
That's how I feel about teaching. I meant what I said about knowing I wanted to be a teacher in 9th grade and never changing my mind. I love my job more and more every year because every year I feel I get better and better even with new challenges mixed in. This year has been the most difficult year teaching probably since my first year, but even once we finally get back to completely normal, there are a ton of things I can pull from what we've done this year that I'll continue to use moving forward.
Teaching is a unique profession. It just is. It takes a certain kind of person to be a good teacher. If you aren't that kind of person, you'll probably burn out of the profession in a few years. Yes, there are bad teachers out there. I'm not going to pretend that all teachers feel the same way I do about the profession. But from my experience most of them really care about their craft and really care about the students.
There's a lot more I could put here about this... I thought about bringing in some specific challenges I've confronted throughout the years... but maybe another time for those who are interested.
And I apologize for the semblance of attacking your kids. That was not my intention.
I appreciate your viewpoint generally and I doubt I will ever block you because even when you are being vindictive you still at least are trying to prove a point. I will add on point about the low end teachers who don't care- they seem to be the ones who get in front of TV camera to tell everyone what we are owed making it seem that they represent most teachers when I don't think they do.

Spoken like somebody who has never ventured into a school except under duress. As a former teacher who traded all those days off and "fat" paychecks and benies for a "regular" job in IT, I can say from experience that teachers' time off and renumeration are greatly overvalued by those not in the trenches. Teachers' days don't end when they walk out of school because they bring work home with them, usually lesson plans that need to be created/revised or papers to correct. Many of the days or half days when students are not in the classroom, teachers are attending meetings and "in-service" training sessions.
Most parents have found out this past year how hard it is to deal with only their own children all day, every day, when their kids aren't particularly interested in doing something. Multiply that several times over for teachers and add into the mix the natural tendency for not all people (including children) to get along with one another. That's not even counting the kids who may come to school with other issues that influence their behavior or the administrators who decide to micro-manage how the curriculum is taught or a colleague who always manages to get under your skin or how warm, sunny days can distract even the best students.
My guess is that you wouldn't last a day.
Dude come off it " in the trenches", teaching is a high effort job but this kind of crap is why teachers are called whiners. You think other jobs don't have micro managers, or things happening beyond their control? I agree the hours outside the classroom are not reimbursed properly but that will happen as long as crap teachers get paid similar to great teachers.

Why should they have to? The laws obviously aim at disenfranchising them, just like Trump tried doing in other ways.
Why do we require ID for anything? To ensure the person is who they claim to be. We have a right to get married, we still have to show proof of who we are before we are allowed. Now answer the question of why you think minorities are incapable of getting said ID when most already have ID to buy alcohol, plane tickets, get married, or go into any schools in my county.

Does not take critical thinking skills to see Trump was trying to have black voters votes thrown out.
Or that the GOP is targeted minority voters in its voter suppression attempts
Why do you think minorities are unable to get an ID to vote? My grandmother at 85 was able to get her ID when she moved to Florida, are you saying the average black man is less capable than an elderly white women?

Teaching is very different than other jobs so it is hard to compare directly since to be good at teaching you have to be emotionally invested. I was good at several jobs in the finance sector because I did not get emotional, it was money flowing and nothing else mattered.

The names of the victims do not matter. The family of the victims do not matter. They are all of little consequence.
The only thing that matters is the constitution was built on a basis of squirrel guns and long knives and somehow that got translated to ARs, AKs etc.
For all those that support that premise and hide behind this position, I hope you never sleep without thinking of the 1000s of victims.
The constitution was built on the basis of overthrowing a government and guns were the most advanced weapons on the planet at the time. I am curious if you lose sleep over the fact that allowing people to travel 80km an hour causes 10k more deaths than a permanent 30km an hour. If not why would someone having a freedom bother me if people having freedom does not bother you? I have two people I was friends with die separately because of cars plowing into their cars. My friends were not at fault but the other people were, no one demanded cars being removed, we charged the people.

I don't know why I argue with someone who calls an AR an "assault rifle" or that believes assault rifles are available to anyone who wants one. Your ignorance is appalling for someone who is trying to convince others that they know better. To own an assault rifle you need an FFL which is not like buying a normal gun. I do not think I know anyone with an FFL but I know a lot with legal guns.
