re: blog outs Tigerdroppings poster as Arkansas judge

a judge of higher standing should never

1. Speak sexually explicitly like he does.
2. Make horrible comments about divorce, or give details of any of his cases.
3. Be a Racist.
4. Care more about money than judicial rights or justice. The nursing home case he presided over was horrible.
5. he is asinine and stupid for displaying publicly those beliefs, and if he actually has those beliefs, he is not fit for the judicial system.

I agree. It's pretty cut & dried common sense to me, tbh.

When did we stop expecting more of those in certain positions.

Idk, but it's happened, apparently, and it perplexes the shite out of me. Why wouldn't anyone expect more of those in certain positions? How can anyone respect a judge who says & does these things or feels this way, then states it crudely & publicly? Talk about having contempt for a court (judge).

I remember when a teacher would get fired for infidelity, drunkenness, and being a complete and utter idiot.

So do I, but there were only a couple of instances of any of this when I was growing up, and it was dealt with quickly & harshly.

As a matter of fact, from jr. high on up, our teachers were much, much older and had been there for eons. Hell, some even taught my parents. The younger ones right out of college ALWAYS taught the younger grades first. For example, we never had 22 year old calculus or physics teachers. We had 22 year old grade school teachers. There was good reason for this, I suppose, if you read the paper or watch the news weekly.

These days they have meetings at bars, take home each others spouses, and act like complete uneducated trailer park trash. (not all, but some, in fact more than the past)

Funny you should mention the meetings at a bar thing. It's widely known around there's a certain area with a well known extremely out of the way secluded pick up joint/pool hall/biker bar where teachers, single & not, "meet" on the reg. And I don't mean a girls' night out at the local Chili's or Applebee's kind of place where normal people go to have a couple of margaritas or fruity drink special of the week. I'm talking about one of those places that issues you a weapon at the door if you aren't already packing. Needless to say, there is talk, and whether it's true or not, it doesn't matter. It's all about perception.

Sad shape of affairs. I hope he loses, and loses badly!

Yep, & so do I.

And for clarity, I certainly do not expect anyone to be perfect. Everyone has flaws & has made mistakes. The problem is when elected officials & others that are generally held to a higher standard continue to make really bad decisions or their fundamental beliefs or arrogance affect the jobs they were elected to do in a negative way, and they don't care.

That old format is what has caused a lot of the problems in schools.


The world is changing and the old teachers aren't able to adapt enough. The STEM teachers that are younger are almost always better than the older ones. The fields themselves evolve enough that things we learned in school just aren't the same anymore.

We have 8 planets. Only retarded people think that Christopher Columbus discovered America. Integration of new and evolving technology in our schools is difficult at best.

No problem with any of the above, but when the acceptable moral standards change with the technology, something is amiss.

Our kids deserve better, our courts deserve better, and our country deserves better. Where are the true decent leaders anymore?

Welcome to the world of internet and social media.. where everybody is still acting the same way they have been for hundreds of years except now we have to hear about that shite.

I agree people "talk" or e-talk or whatever too much these days about their escapades, then in an instant, it's all over cyberspace, the damn news, everywhere. And I really don't care to hear about all of their shite.

Yeah, well, I suppose that's become pretty standard here & I'm becoming more jaded. It doesn't shock me anymore ... unfortunately.
