I mean the kids do go outside at some of the schools.

I am not discounting them entirely. I understand why they might be necessary.. although that makes me sad and I admit this could be a knee jerk reaction to that.

I didn't say fuck it. I just said not sure it will be as effective as people want it to be. And could lead to a false sense of security. Not to mention it is disruptive and makes the schools more like a prison. Raising expectations and expelling those who can't behave would do more to improve schools and improve safety then metal detectors which are less effective then you think.

I kind of see them as giving up on kids. Treat people like criminals and they will act like criminals. Maybe I'm hopelessly naive though. Wouldn't be the first time.

Sure but how hard is it to leave a bag outside a different door or window. Or sneak in..or have a friend let you in another door. Or kids passing bags around while stressed out underpaid security guards work the door. I don't think this will be nearly as fool proof as people think. These are big old buildings with lots of moving parts and people.

I don't know.......it makes the schools even more like prisons. Not saying I'm 100% against it, but I certainly don't like it. I also question how effective they really are. It's pretty simple to get something past them in buildings with as many doors and windows as schools if someone is determined.

Feels like security theater to some extent.

Lol. This gets posted every year.

I had the same thought when I saw them all around town lined up so nice

Chipotle is not good. Stop expecting it to be good. Hot food is lukewarm. Cold food is lukewarm. It is overpriced slop. Taco bell is better.

Fuck yeah

Had a friend in a similar divorce situation they were able to get a place at the apartments on Forest Hill and Cedar.

Tough choice..I would look for a better deal. But keep in mind you would have to pay significantly less a month to offset the cost of moving.

Problem is. It has been so warm lots of plants and trees have already budded. Going to be really bad for them.

Yeah, but we are a pain in the ass to get too and have the smallest populations and mostly live in houses.

Back in my day we played marbles and kick the can and we loved it.

When I was a kid we had baseball cards and garbage pail kids cards.

New York number 1 baby!!!! Richmond is the new Staten island. Makes sense because Brooklyn is the new Manhattan and Queens is the new Brooklyn and the Bronx is the new Queens.

You won the thread.

I spent a day in Estonia on a day trip from Helsinki. That ferry ride was party time..all the Finn's ride to Estonia to buy booze at much cheaper prices. Literal shopping carts of booze. Then start drinking it on the ride back. Talin was a nice city with really cool medieval towers to climb. Happy independence day.
