It's been a long time since I've been scolded for one of my posts, for your information it was delivered tongue in cheek, as a retired LE I think I have a pretty good grasp on what to expect from society.
Scolded? You're pretty sensitive.
You're last line up there looks to be tongue in cheek, the rest, not so much. As a retired LE you should know we are a lot safer now than ever in the history of civilization.
I happen to live in a well ordered community, it's fairly rural and most times quiet, I can't remember the last time we locked our doors, and when there's a knock at our door in the evening it's usually a family member come to visit.
Unlike a decade or so ago when strangers would come to the door soliciting business or trying to sell us something, today they just call us on the phone to bother us, but hanging up on them is easier than answering the door.
You might have avoided the 'scolding' had you simply told us the real deal to start, rather than making up a fantasy world which was not as obviously made up as you now want to imply.
Unfortunately some folks don't have it as well and for what ever reason are forced to reside in places that are a bit more seedy and at times more dangerous, one of our forum member here just last year posted that in order to get a good nights sleep and protect his family he had to go to sleep on the floor with his feet against the door to his apartment and with a weapon in his hands, perhaps the guy complaining (crying) has a reason for feeling the way he does.
Yes, as I already noted, but this is mostly restricted to democrat run inner city crap holes. Most of us don't live like this. I my self have lived in some less than desirable neighborhoods so I know it's out there first hand. Most places I've lived though, of quite a number, are nothing like that.
The guy in question doesn't live in a craphole city, he's just like that. He took it as an invasion of his privacy and an assault on himself that someone knocked on his door. As did many commenters in the thread.
You don't know me, nor do you know that I've been conditioned or if so by what,
Correct, I had your fictitious comment above to go on, and responded accordingly. Said comment was not obviously fake, as you seem to be implying is obvious. It must made you come off as I described.
" today the chances are that it's a pair of dope heads looking to steal your wife's jewelry and rob your medicine cabinet on the way out, right after they slit your throat. "
but what I do know about you by your post is that you are judgmental, arrogant, and rude, I suggest you take the time to get to know people on this or any forum before you attempt to criticize them.
I suggest you be honest to start before accusing me of not getting to know you. Yes I am judgmental, I make no apologies for it either.
Rude? There you go being sensitive again. 'Men' today.
I also don't like your tag line demeaning people of faith.
You are not required to like it. It would be nice if you read and understood it though.
