Country:  | They call police here 'pigs' too. But it's just a joke now, all the people who call them 'pigs' seriously are complete scum and should be taken outside and shot.
Don't get me wrong, Njaco, my friends are extremely helpful and do their job well [one found a drug farm in someone's attic the other week when they were arresting the bloke for something else - he found it by smell ! Not like he used to smoke it or anythin' ...  ]. But in the end they just love beating down on the scum because the justice courts won't do it.

That, and I also respect anybody that steps into the line of fire to uphold the law, that includes the military too.

Country: | You'll look back and think about these conversations as you get older. Just remember that your conviction is your character. No person can take that away from you. You may wish to revise your statement based upon youthful discretion, but you are who you are. And thankyou.
