By the way, what's the secret to your extensive vocabulary? a good thesaurus or years of good schooling?! | |

I was destined to learn something. Just didn't realize it would turn out to be BS 101.
Thanks for the kind words.

Country: | AVRoe - awesome work!
B-17 - that's a noble profession. Before I joined the Marines I was setting things up to become a federal agent... I was leaning toward DEA. Not exactly the same as a local or state police officer - but everyone's on the same team. Look at your options and decide what route you want to take.

Country: | Well, I'm a part time stock clerk at my towns own supermarket, not a chain like Big Y or Wal-Mart. It's actually a pretty nice job considering I'm also a senior in high school.
B-17- Thats pretty cool your dad's a cop.

Country: | That's strange that you Americans find being a cop such a respectful and noble career. I'm not saying it isn't, but I have three friends that are police officers and to them it's just a job. They love beating the scum and getting paid for it...it does society wonders - shame there's not enough of my friends in the police.

There are plenty of people in certain parts of America's society that think police are "Pigs"...

Country: | Plan, I constantly work with the police and there are a few.... a few...that are as you described. But most want to help people and really try from their heart. Its the same media take as on the military.
