BlueSkiesFading Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 Yeah. Everything is just crazy. There's a war starting between cops and local gangs now. It's sad Yea I heard the Bloods are promising retaliation on the police in Jersey City. Hopefully there's no more senseless bloodshed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rjay Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 Still have not met severe criteria in my neighborhood since I think 1998. I was in New Hyde Park for the crazy hail storm a few years ago and was in Sioux City, Iowa for a severe storm a few years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJO812 Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 Snow88, I read here you're a cop. Dude be safe and thank you for putting your life on the line everyday. I just lost my best friend of 12 years who was an officer on Sunday morning. This really sucks Thanks. Sorry to hear that. I already have been to 2 police funerals. I graduated from the police academy on December 27. I am still a rookie so I haven't seen a lot of things yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cuomo is running for re-election and I LOL'ed when he said it wasn't up to him to settle the issue. Of course it was going to have to be him swooping in last-minute. I thought the suspense might be kept going for a little longer and a midnight deal would be reached but either way I guess it's good news.

Guest Pamela Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 I bet your parents told you guys to eat your vegetables and not to smoke. Were they judgmental, "progressive," etc? Was the opposing opinion of avoid vegetables and smoke cigarettes equally as valid? Not all opinions are created equal. Yes, everyone can have one. But, someone could say the Earth is flat. Do we have to pretend this opinion is equally as valid as those who know the Earth is an oblique spheroid? I maintain my position that opinions are not created equal. I'll alert the NY Times & CNN...I'm certain that all the world has been waiting with bated breath to learn these facts...and what facts they are! Never before has *anyone* so effectively integrated the views of Thomas Jefferson, Pythagoras, C Everett Koop & The Jolly Green Giant! Though the ultimate conclusions may seem mangled and incomprehensible to *some*...I can say with a fair amount of certainty that the synergistic approach taken by this otherwise obscure school teacher from Queens...somehow managing to combine political & social theory, world geography, veganism, and pulmonology...is a way of thinking that will, in all likelihood, not be seen again for some time!
