    Disagree. It starts in high school. And administrators, not fans, decide punishments for student athletes. They may get pressure from fans but that shouldn't stop them from doing the right thing. The NFL is catching a lot of flack from fans right now for not holding players accountable but generally speaking it's not improving.

    This is all very general. I have met a couple of college athletes that were really good guys. The only NFL player I've ever interacted with for any period of time was a very respectful guy. But this does seem to be a widespread problem.

    Because the media knows it'll get people talking, and clicks are their bread and butter. They lend too much attention to the fringe and give everyone the impression that the weirdos represent the majority, which is far from reality.

    Some stuff. Not a lot, just some.

    A Canadian police officer is in stable condition after he was reportedly shot by a fellow officer during a heated argument that turned violent Thursday.

    The Niagara Regional Police Service said officers were investigating a crash that happened earlier this week in the rural town of Pelham, Ontario when two of the officers began arguing, though it was unclear what the disagreement was about.

    Officials said one of the officers was seriously injured when his fellow officer opened fire.

    The officer was rushed to the hospital in critical condition. A statement by police released Thursday night said his condition had been upgraded to stable.

    While police have not released the officers’ names, the Toronto Sun said Constable Nathan Parker was the officer in the hospital, while Det. Sergeant Shane Donovan was the officer who reportedly shot him.

    Police said the injured officer is a 28-year veteran.

    Monica Hudon, a spokesperson for Ontario’s Special Investigations Unit, told CBC they are investigating what led to the argument.

    “Understanding what transpired and the relationship between the officers is part of the SIU’s investigation,” she said. “I can only tell you that there was an altercation, a firearm was discharged and one officer was struck.”

    Sources told the Toronto Sun there was “bad blood” between the officers involved.

    Hudon did not say how many gunshots hit the officer, where he was struck or if the injured officer also fired his weapon.

    “The days and weeks ahead will be trying ones for the NRPS family and the community we serve,” Niagara Regional Police Chief Bryan MacCulloch said in a statement. “I ask for your support for our members and all those involved.”

    It goes beyond that, its all about tearing down a society and culture (Western Civilization) the loonies view as being unfair and unjust. Its a war of cultures plain and simple.

    If you wonder where the truth lies, just follow the money. Tell an administrator, coach, TV personality, media, you, me that we will lose our job if we don't bring in the money and many morals get thrown out the window. (Maybe not so much for you and me, but you get the idea.) It is all about the clicks, donations to the school, advertising dollars, etc, etc. The Bible says in Timothy 6:10: For the love of money is the root of all evil. While I am a diehard agnostic there is truth in that statement.

    My grandmother (an RN) related a argument she had with a doctor, who had once mentioned that it was not necessary for a man to wash his hands after urinating because urine was sterile. She then shredded him by pointing out how many different strains of vary nasty bacteria live on a man's penis, and everyone should wash their hands after touching something as nasty as that. It made the rounds through the rumor mill fast and furious and he ended up moving to another city because the nurses hated him (and from what I heard he wasn't a very good doctor).

    Moral of the story - don't piss off nurses; they actually run the hospital and can make you life HELL.

    Oh, and don't piss and phone.

    And wash up after touching your junk.

    I’m in construction and come in contact with many different chemicals and products, that said I wash my hands (periodically) before and after ‘touching my junk’.
