I will say I agree with some of what you said, but not 100%.

teachers for instance are held to a standard I'm not sure anyone could uphold in this area

First off, I have children who go to school...and I definately hold teachers to a higher standard because these are MY children they are teaching. I want my kids to have the best possible education. Its not like I just drop them off to some nobody, I'm PAYING these people to teach my children. If you paid a carpenter to build you a house, I'm sure you wouldn't just let him get away with unsquare walls. You would want perfection for your money, or as close as possible.

True Christians stand up against things that are wrong in this world regarless of whats "politically correct". Standing back and watching the druggies, criminals, etc..is whats wrong, not the other way around.

Lastly, I'd just like to say that all this buttkissing everyone seems to want each other to do is ludacris. This is a forum. The entire point of the forum is DEBATE. That means people will have different opinions and argue over those opinions. If you cant deal with it, then maybe you shouldnt be here in the first place. Don't get me wrong, I think threatening someone personally is wrong. Some of you people just take things to serious on here.
