I think it's safe to assume that Tecate's post was done as a joke. At least I sure hope so as the office is laughing hysterically in regards to his post. The least of her problems is getting fired and that's a given. She will most likely do jail time after the incident in Newtown. Saying you are gun down a school is sure to get you locked up. Like the other poster said 1000 of teachers are fired each yeay for much less. View Comment
Too bad those thousands that were killed because of the lies that started not 1 but 2 wars of the Republican Bush didn't have a "Buddy's Law" to protect them.

That is one fantastic post. I would add has anyone seen how Moccia behaves when someone dares to disagree with him. The civility issue starts from the top. Bruce tell us are you a Republican or Democrat today? Its hard to keep up as you run as one but caucus with another. View Comment

I see by reading your posts that you are a bit on the dumb side, but really are you actually so stupid to believe that the mentally ill choose to be homeless.
"one is the population who choose to be homeless and that includes many who are mental ill."
Crawl back under your rock of hate and racism troll . View Comment

You are making yourself look like a fool once again. Its of no important that the war criminal Bush left office 5 years ago as the dead are still dead because of his lies. The issues you list have never been attributed to any lies or wrong doings by democrats expect by the right wingers. In other words more Republican lies and propaganda. View Comment
1850 - 1900 - Tattoos used to be the bastion of carnival freak shows, with people flocking to the circus to see the amazing tattooed Lady.
1900 - 1950 - Tattoos in the early 20th century indicated a Sailor or Marine. In these cases, they did not have any social stigma, except that tattoos were generally indicative of enlisted men. Few Navy or Marine officers dared to draw on their body.
1950 - 1960 - In the early 1950's, tattoos became popular with the criminal element, mostly outlaw bikers, social outcasts and the mentally ill. It was during this time tattoos took on a more ominous reputation.
1960 - 1990 - This was the age of "prison tats" where having a tattoo indicated to some people that you were a tough felon.
1990-2008 - Today we see hordes of young people drawing on themselves with free abandon, (almost 30% of people in the 1980's). These people do not understand that a tattoo may effectively prohibit them from pursuing some professional careers, regardless of their other qualifications.
Corporate Dress Codes and tattoos
A study by Careerbuilders shows the perils of tattoos for aspiring professionals, and confirms the conventional wisdom that tattoos are a bad choice for anyone who hopes to work in a corporate position:
Over 42 percent of managers said their opinion of someone would be lowered by that person's visible body art.
Three out of four respondents believe that visible tattoos are unprofessional.
You don't have to look hard to find hundreds of corporations which have banned employees with tattoos. San Bernardino County California, bars all employees from wearing denim, having visible tattoos, and any piercing in the nose, lip, or tongue that contains jewelry.
In sum, tattoos are not well received by corporate America and could hamper your success if you choose a career in a corporate position.

Recently, a team at Headquarters Marine Corps conducted research on state police and highway patrol tattoo policies. All 50 state police or patrol departments were contacted about their respective tattoo policies. Overall, 39 states have official written policies covering tattoos and body art or modifications, as well as other personal appearance standards.
Former Marine, John Beekman, is a 16-year-veteran detective in Chandler, Ariz. He advises service members to consider their future career choices before getting new ink.
“Keep in mind the tattoo itself; the type, size, and [location on your body] – how will it affect you later?” said Beekman. “When you’re young and motivated you’re not thinking about the future. But, one day you will get out of the Marine Corps and perception is reality. The general public is going to look a person with tattoos and make an immediate judgment. “
Beekman attests to the fact that many law enforcement agencies are also pulling in the reins on tattoos.
“Our department policy on tattoos states that if visible while working in an official capacity, all tattoos must be covered,” he said. “This policy became permanent in 2008.”

Not only are the cops getting 65.an hour for dirt jobs, they also get 65 anytime they work for another city agency or the hospital. Between the cops overtime and their failure to prevent or solve crime they are the reason for the tax increase View Comment
