Vinni, As you well know, You are one of the people i have always had allot of time for here. A decent man, someone i would go out of my way for, a genuine person who I like and have respect for.
Respect not only as a person but also for your work. You are one of the few here that has a career that I truly believe I couldn’t do.
When I look at many here, I see students... Been there done that, I see the odd lawyer... My father, sister and wife have passed the bar... I see a pilot, Not to a high level but I have a light aircraft licence etc etc

But then there is 2 that stand out for me... Bozi, I think is a nurse... Definitely couldn’t do that , I don’t have the temperament, I hate hospitals and have a real distaste for doctors and sick people...

Then there is you, The policeman... I have to respect that, Not the courage or any of that bullshit... Dealing with an armed robber or a drugged up, strapped gangbanger doesn’t mean shit to me... I've been in the army , I’ve worked in real warzones (Iraq,Lebanon,Kuwait,Palestine,Afghanistan, Chechnya, Congo, Sierra Leone etc). That side of it doesn’t impress...
But then you have to deal with certain things i couldn’t deal with, things I have experience of like child abuse or things completely alien and sickening to me like kiddie fiddlers and people involved in animal cruelty.. those are people I couldn’t deal with, I couldn’t control.. people I would happily beat to death as look at them... Not to mention you do this for a wage (no offence) that I personally wouldn’t get out of bed for... For that I have complete respect for what you do...

But it has to be said, this post is one of the most ridiculous, insulting, two faced, uneducated, piles of crap I have had the misfortune to read in the nigh on 6 years (?) I have been a member of this forum

none of you deal with this FOR A LIVING, and only get your daily dose from CNN

Greg, your brothers a police officer, right ??

I'm sure there's heated conversations at the sunday dinner table

If we suffer a major attack, it will be the leftist retards screaming the loudest that we werent protected enough

Anyways, you all can believe what you want...I live with these realities of ppl doing the most ridiculous things on a daily basis...trying to test us while collecting "information"

I'm sorry , but taking photos of a water treatment plant, and then saying that its a tourist site does not fly with me

My way works just fine, thank you, provided you are among the 5 or 6 ruling oligarchs (as every campus communist assumes he will be).
You know that's a good point. I wonder if campus communists are the ideal ones. Then they come to power and they develop a degree of "pragmatism". Or if they're pragmatically inclined from the very start.

Paul, you have a license? And you've been to Sierra Leone? That's awsome.

What are the basic conditions under which you can fly (over here it's either Visual Flight Rules or Instrument Flight Rules) ? And where in Sierra Leone were you? I've lived there myself when I was young.

I passed my ppl in 52 hours flying a Piper Cherokee.
I then took my Night rating and IMC rating in a Piper Arrow
Hopefully get round to multi-engine etc at some point

I was in Port Loko for a while in 2000

That's cool. I want to find out how the system works over there, since I'll need to go there to take my european license aka JAA.

I lived in a small villiage called Buajibu. I wanna go back but I hear it's pretty bad :depressed
