So now to take that back, I'd say I wouldn't fear a cop so long as they're sane cause then I would be able to talk them out of it. But your right, as you get older you realize that they abuse their powers, so you loose your respect for them, and you start to look at them as regular people. Especially if you know people that are cops. So bad example.<BR/><BR/>Yea, I don't mean to be double faced and act one way with some and another with others. But there is such a thing as being on your best behavior. It's still you, maybe not a comfortable you, but sometimes you sacrifice that. I'm not sure your kid is old enough for this yet, but when he gets older and you have company over, either on his own he will act different, or you might tell him to act different because of the company, out of respect for them. By different, I mean with good behavior and all that. <BR/><BR/>This goes back to <A HREF="http://thebabysitterwrites.blogspot.com/2008/04/shhhthe-window-is-open.html" REL="nofollow"> Shh...The Window is Open</A>Jewish Side of Babysitterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15792110478994916775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1984179779584386035.post-7240793003134117022008-06-13T10:47:00.000-04:002008-06-13T10:47:00.000-04:00In case you didn't get the reference, a pig is a c...In case you didn't get the reference, a pig is a cop.<BR/>And as for the animal itself, they're so cute!!!

Although if I were in a zoo where there were pigs, and the pigs weren't in pig pens but roaming free, then yes I'd be afraid of them, for the other reason, that they are insane, can't communicate. All animals practically fall into this category, except for pigeons, cats, squirrels and other animals that are always in the street.<BR/><BR/>Ok, maybe not this president. Substitute "The President" with any president that was/is worthy, could be president of a company or a high ranking person that YOU DO look up to. President is just the typical one used. But you can think of any person who is your role model, someone you look up to. Then ask yourself if you would talk to them the same. Don't you guard yourself when your around them, and act in an extra careful way?<BR/><BR/>No thanx, not my kinda thing.Jewish Side of Babysitterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15792110478994916775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1984179779584386035.post-1391905719750307212008-06-13T00:51:00.000-04:002008-06-13T00:51:00.000-04:00dude, you'd fear a pig because they abuse their po...dude, you'd fear a pig because they abuse their power pretty often. And for president, to paraphrase 5th Element, "the president is an idiot." Yes, I would talk to him same as I would to a friend. Btw, biggest proof that obama gonna be president, he's already doing bushisms. Go on youtube and search for "obama states".<BR/><BR/>I used to work in Brooklyn Navy Yard and would walk through projects on the way there, no big deal.<BR/><BR/>Me and wife going to Tora Dojo Karate, wanna join?Ookamikunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01145237927656807738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1984179779584386035.post-7354855986057416612008-06-13T00:45:00.000-04:002008-06-13T00:45:00.000-04:00Moshe: But what if your a good kid and you don't f...Moshe: But what if your a good kid and you don't fear the punishment you can still be afraid of them. Or Police man, if you are a law abiding citizen there should be no reason to fear them, but you do out of respect because of their power. Same with the president. How will the president punish you? Yet you fear him out of respect, you wouldn't be able to have a normal conversation with him, like you would with a friend. <BR/><BR/>Moshe and MikeInMidwood: Yea, I said it was my NAIVE opinion. You are probably right. But that's what helps me go through bad neighborhood without being scared. It gives me a reason not to fair specific races when I normally would. <BR/><BR/>But actually now that I think about it, I'm right, cause it did happen once to me. I was walking down a block and then this guy with his friends were coming the other way. It was by a gate and this guy blocks my path and starts making weird faces trying to get my attention or something. I tried walking passed him but he just moved over and wouldn't let me through. So I looked him in the eyes to show I'm not afraid and I talked to him. I said to him "very nice, now you'll let me through" or something like that. His friends laughed, so he was doing it for their approval. But because I was able to talk to him I didn't feel afraid. After a few tries he finally just gave up and moved over. <BR/>P.S. he was probably only 14 years old, so he was just a kid which might be another factor, but still.Jewish Side of Babysitterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15792110478994916775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1984179779584386035.post-16399720693985124632008-06-12T22:07:00.000-04:002008-06-12T22:07:00.000-04:00I think I agree with Moshe.

Even though they're mentally competent, their morals and values are not same as yours. A criminal can view his victim as not human or as not on same level as him. It would, probably, be easier to deal with a mentally ill criminal as they would be easier to fool.Ookamikunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01145237927656807738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1984179779584386035.post-72462771073660692262008-06-12T17:44:00.000-04:002008-06-12T17:44:00.000-04:00ok so in some school there may be no fear for the ...ok so in some school there may be no fear for the teacher, but like you said the reason for that is because the teacher is not respected.
