Re: Except the guy standing on my lawn
Actually, I'm not in "Pennsyltucky". Unless 20 miles south of Billy Penn's hat in center city Philadelphia, counts as the sticks... We have 11,000 residents in 5 square miles of township, so it's hardly rural, just tranquil.
Classifying a whole state of people as a bunch of "backwards hillbillies" shows a certain measure of arrogance and prejudice on your part. Without even knowing what part of the state I live in, you assume I live in some 1 horse hick town. According to the 2000 census the median income for a household in my township was $84,661, and the median income for a family was $87,248. I would have to say if I'm living in a town of Pensyltucky hicks, we're all doing pretty well for being such, especially considering those numbers are almost 7 years old. Our low call volume more has it's roots in the fact that we are a mostly residential area (98%) and the bulk of our residents are decent, law abiding citizens. I'm sorry to hear that the law enforcement officials in the "golden state" "wont even arrest a raging drunk slugging his wife & kids if there isn't a PFA on file." In my jurisdiction, that guy would be on his way to prison, as we don't tolerate domestic violence (regardless of the aggressor, and quite often it's the female) here.
You talk about an "A to B discussion" and jump right to "J", as in sounding like a jerk. No reason to jump to the level of insulting fella, it's a computer discussion board, not your prom date.
I can't say I'm at all insulted by your post, I'm used to dealing with people who form opinions of me and my profession without all the facts. I pride myself in offering punctual, polite, and professional service to the people of the town I live/work in. Where I work has been my home for almost 30 years. We have excellent schools, a great community, and easy access to everything the Northeast has to offer. If anything, I'm disappointed. I've come to expect more from someone who's been a BBR member as long as you have....
Oh, BTW. 1 call tonight. 911 hang up. Accidental...

Irrespective that you live in Pennsyltucky and the local PD apparently has absolutely nothing better to do than eat and have time enough to check into no call too small ...
Marco I didn't see the gentleman insult you in any way. I don't see how you can justify where he lives and the quality of service he wishes to provide his community... That dog don't hunt son, even in the "Golden State". This is an "A" to "B" discussion and you can "C" your unregistered ass out of it. Also, I am originally from the Commonwealth of Pennsyltucky, so I can say whatever I want about its hillbilly, backwards existence.

When I was a regular on these forums this sort of blatant insult for no apparent reason would have bought me a ban. I guess there is no lack of arrogance in the "Golden State" There is no "insult" there, it is a fact. Son.
If you actually knew what you were talking about/checked the facts before you spouted off with your $0.02, then you would have a modicum of credibility. But I guess there isn't a lack of ignorance in unregistered guests who call everyone "son," and otherwise chime in with opinions about topics that they know absolutely nothing about, but feel free to butt into nonetheless.
