    OldDude replied to Farawyn's topic in School

    OK, I don't disagree with that. Now, for the present, please just answer this question. Do you want an armed officer in your kid's school or do you NOT want an armed officer in your kid's

    School Shootings

    OldDude replied to Farawyn's topic in School

    The disagreement about guns abounds from horizon to horizon. When I say what someone's opinion is about guns is irrelevant, including my opinion, I'm trying to drive home that the issue is completely...

    Kidz...what point are you trying to make other than, yet again, argue your tired point about how you "feel" about guns? Your opinion isn't relevant in regard to the reality of today. Are you saying...
