I think it'd be cool to be a teacher at the high school/college level (fuck middle/elementary school) but it sucks they get paid like crap most of the time.

Irony, with your fear of government power.

Then again, I suppose it's no more ironic that I despise thugs, but my dream is to be the one pulling their strings.

Nihilism is a copout.

if by fear of government power you mean disgust with the bloated bureaucracy, then yes.

those three are necessary, however.

Violence and injustice are mutually dependent.

Why do you think those institutions of violence exist?

how bad do you think crime would be if there was no law enforcement?

Go to new orleans in the weeks after katrina and tell me what you see.

Crime is a social problem. Law enforcement fights crime, but they do it because they have to. If it were up to them they'd just run around annoying people all day.

What drives people to join law enforcement is that they like to bully people weaker than them. This is why they don't:

1. actually do something about crime (like become a mentor or serve urban renewal, you don't get to wave a nightstick around and power trip, but stop way more crimes)
2. go to Iraq/Afghanistan where there's a real chance of getting killed

Consider this: cops very rarely get killed (and go to outrageous lengths to protect their own skins), but they make a MUCH bigger deal about getting killed than soldiers or even truck drivers who face a much higher mortality rate. We don't stop traffic and have a big procession whenever some grunt gets blown up by a roadside bomb, because those people actually face danger that speaks for itself.

They get more outraged when someone is accused of being a cop killer, than when a cop is caught committing a serious crime. Because what really drives them is the sense of power that comes from affiliation. It's no different than joining a gang.

Why? Because they're pussies. It's a way they can pretend they face danger when in reality - like all bullies - they are cowards.

Final proof: Cops are never more innocuous and invisible, never closer to the Dunkin' Donuts, when in tough neighborhoods. Places where they REALLY might get shot fighting someone who's too crazy or strung-out to think twice about killing them. Cops never volunteer for those beats because you can't power trip on people who have nothing to lose.

Like I said, if you really want to fight crime, or do something that takes courage, there's better professions. The only real allure of law enforcement is the ability to play tough running with a gang.

I think the fundamental difference between us is, you want projected power, while I want personal power.

Anyway I realize I'm derailing the thread so threadsplit or carry on <_<

My dream job would be the guy Aestu's talking to when he says:

"It matters not. Kill him. We have much work to do."

Did you say you wanted to be that 'behind the scenes' guy that just pulls strings? Isn't that even more cowardly than any law enforcement or military role? The power that comes with that role is projection since you use your influence to exert will on others; truth be told, you'd just be a coward sitting in a room trying to control your pawns... pawns you probably won't ever have because your likability isn't out of Northshire Abbey yet.

inb4: "You don't need to be likable to have pawns...", says the unlikable guy without pawns.

Aestu you don't know dick about cops.



yeah ok. If by proof you mean biased and vitriolic observations of a NEWS channel and not actually first hand knowledge, then yes.

If the only information you have is from local news(which is about as biased against cops as can be) then you're an even bigger mongoloid than I thought. Who else knew that the jobs I put up would be the ones YOU immediately shit talk?


Everyone knows there are bad cops aestu, just like bad soldiers, teachers and college drop outs with a corn oil fetish. But like always you only see the bad side of anything and everything.

Grow up kid, and stop treading on people's dreams just because you'll never meet yours.

This made me lol.

When Aestu rules the world I hope he's kind enough to let me live and work as one of his various henchmen.

That's funny because I don't watch the news. I do have a great deal of firsthand experience with this topic.

According to you aestu, you have a great deal of experience with everything.

I bet not once have you gone on a ride along or spoken with a cop and see what its like on their side.

So no, you don't have a great deal of experience.

Show me the man who says, "I do evil".

So when faced with something you can't argue, you say some random vaguely related shit.

Glad you've not changed your playbook.

If destruction exists, we must destroy everything.
