Because the fact that they graduated from high school guarantees that a person is disciplined and responsible, right? :?

Of course, you doubt the moral integrity of a person who graduated high school in the United States? I mean their intelligence should be slightly higher than a monkey by now...

Oh yeah?

True, True, the order of intelligence in the world is as follows.
1. Humans
2. Monkeys
3. Dolphins
4. Elephants
5. Pigs
6. Politicians

Though to be fair to most other politicians, Bush is in a league all his own down at 13 or 14.

These guys must have crap training. I'm not surprised, of course; my friend that's worked at a firing range for the last six years says police are the absolute worst shooters that come out there. :?
True story.....A guy I used to work with was retired Army and a retired Cop. He was working security just for something to do more than anything. He told me about his old sergeant (police) who was sitting at a table with his feet propped up and called him over. The guy drew his pistol and ejected the mag. Then said, "Watch how smooth this action is." He took a bead on his foot for some reason, and squeezed the trigger.

I'm sure you guys can all guess what happened.

He lost the ability to count past 18?

I would've said, " Wow, that is pretty sweet." :lol:
