About Me

I am a retired police officer. I worked in the Crimes Department and I really enjoyed it so now I spend my free time informing other people about precautions they can take, such as looking into home security systems so they can avoid the main mistakes most Americans make when it comes to basic safety.

  • A comment on Conversation: Do you believe we have true freewill?

    Jun 15 2011: This answer depends to the degree of every individual's commitment to religion. Personally, I believe every single action is a result of free will. Ultimately, we create our own future simply based on our actions as free agents.

    A comment on Conversation: What do you guys say about bullying?

    Jun 15 2011: People who bully are often the most insecure. The best way to handle a bully is to ignore them and instead use that anger toward a positive outlet.

  • A comment on Conversation: What kind of power can a film have?

    Jun 15 2011: Films have a tremendous impact on individuals whether people are aware of it or not. Filmmakers (who are primarily male btw) need to keep in mind the impact their movies might have on people. For example: depicting more ethnic people are committing crimes versus White people. Be more analytical when you're watching films, because there is always an underlying meaning, and it is oftentimes oppressive toward a minority group... Food for thought.
