Quoted from Box A Rox

"He said it's his responsibility.
"I'm doing this because we need hope man. We need hope," explained Pritchard.
He's a volunteer. He's not getting paid. He's not even armed, but parent said they feel a whole lot
better about leaving their children at school while he's been at the front door."

Quoted from Madam X

What are soldiers for? Killing.

Quoted from rpforpres

I too think he has good intentions, and worried about the children.  I don't think he instills fear into the kids as I'm sure they were told ahead of time  that so and so's father is going to be welcoming everyone at the door. I just hope they didn't say guarding the door.

Quoted from Box A Rox

Many on this board, hate the military, are suspicious of the police or anyone who represents the govt...
SO
Who should stand guard at the school door???

A mom?
A Plumber?
An ex military who now works for a security company for minimum wage???
A TeaBagger militia with an itchy trigger finger???

IMO, if our society decides that guards are needed at elementary schools, they should be a designated trained
force from the local police or sheriff.

Then there’s one scenario that often comes up: rogue countries or developers creating completely autonomous killer bots and unleashing them onto the world. How feasible is this really? That question has not been rigorously answered, which is exactly why a Center like the one being proposed is necessary.

Those who are at the cutting edge of technology are rarely in a position to question the ethics of what they are bringing into the world until it is too late. Having expert researchers dedicated to studying these breakthrough technologies and assessing their threat to the human race is imperative.
