Grand Rapids, MI (AHN) - Rep. David Agema, a lawmaker from Michigan is proposing a new bill that would allow teachers to be armed with guns. The rationale for the proposal is that teachers need guns to defend students from attacks by both terrorists and other students.

Agema, a Republican from West Michigan, said he believes the measure would save lives, the UPI report on Monday.

"Right now, the only people who enter school with guns are people who intend to do harm," Agema was quoted as saying by The Grand Rapids (Mich.) Press.

"I believe it will save lives if a kid or somebody comes into a school and starts shooting again."

Apparently he's not alone; the measure has garnered support from 15 other House members. However school officials whose schools the guns would be in are horrified by the suggestion that teachers need to be packing heat in schoolrooms.

I'm just left speechless by this," Grand Rapids Superintendent Bernard Taylor was quoted as saying by the Grand Rapids Press. "It hurts to hear we've come to this, that we're so afraid of children that we think we need to be armed to work with them."

He continued, "If that's what we've come to, I need to find a new line of work."

According to Agema`s bill the legislation would allow teachers, administrators or other school employees to carry concealed weapons on school grounds if they have a state permit to carry one and have permission from their school administrator.

There is no point in staying in Iraq when our borders are wide open. We know muslims are boiled up all over the world. So being in Iraq will not stop them from getting to south america, or mexico, and moving right on up to a open, and inviting border.

So WHY is Iraq more important than our borders?
How will 30,000 patrolling iraq stop another attack, but secure borders wont?

I would think that libs would hate the UN. They cause wars, stand by while entire tribes are wiped out and refuse to do anything when food earmarked for starving civilians is comondeered. Libs are supposed to be for peace and feeded the poor of the world right??

Okay so a long and somewhat pointless story is coming up but hey, I'm randomly picking an answer for 5 stars! Points! So in english class I sit behind these two girls and next to another girl, they all seem to be friends. Today just randomly one of them asked the girl next to me "so, have you seen any hot guys yet?". Then another girl said "I haven't really seen any hot guys yet, I'm so dissapointed". THEN the girl in front of me said "hey what about that guy you sit next to in english" and the other girl said "yeah that guy you sit next to in language is pretty hot" or something. Then she looked over at me and was like "oops, did you just hear all that? blush blush." and she was smiling like she wanted me to hear it. SO are they just messing with me or what. It's not like I haven't been called "hot" in the past so I know I'm not UGLY. They do seem flirty in general with different guys.

There is no time to go back home in the blocked streets, no time to sleep specially if you pray El Fagr prayer or when you go out for a visit or suhoor. The most important reasons for me not to work in Ramadan that many people doesn't really make their jobs and all use the same excuse they are fasting and tired, so why should we spend a long time go and come from work. It's better to use the time in a better thing and leave streets for people who have urgent things to do only.

I am trying to find a good ATV/motorcycle game for the PS2. It seems like there are quite a few out there but I don't know if any of them are any good.
Also I am looking for a game that has something to do with trucks. Not big rigs or anything like that though. I am looking for one with ford, chevrolet, toyota, etc trucks.

Petraeus based much of his assessment on the claim that violence in Iraq is dropping. That just isn't true:

Petraeus is using "funny math." According to the Washington Post, Petraeus and the Pentagon are using a bizarre formula for measuring violence in the country. For example, deaths by car bombs don't count. And assassinations count only if you're shot in the back of the head—not in the front.4

Iraqis believe the surge has failed. According to a massive new ABC/BBC poll, every single Iraqi polled in Baghdad, the primary target of the "surge," said it had made security worse. Iraqis themselves overwhelmingly think the situation in Iraq is deteriorating, in terms of security, political cooperation, the economy, and other measures. Overall, 70% think the escalation worsened rather than improved security conditions.
