Those jobs are riskier than policemen or firemen. No one should be honored. This world needs to fall into anarchy and chaos. Bring Orwell to life!! Then maybe we would see how much we need each profession. Or maybe not. Tree huggers will save the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naturally you don't see it that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naturally you don't see it that way. What these professions have in common with the police and firemen that Kirk mentioned, is that they are all risky professions. The ones I mentioned are considered to be more risky than the ones Kirk mentioned. Neither of us mentioned anarchy, chaos, Orwell, or tree huggers. 2005 Winnebago Voyage 38J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What those professions do NOT have in common with LEO and FD is they do NOT go to work in the service of others...unless you think farmers and fishermen view their jobs as making sure people have food and a logger thinks of himself as putting a roof over someone's head. In all the episodes of "Deadliest Catch" that I have seen, I don't recall any of the crew members talking about feeding people, other than their own families. Cops and FD KNOW they are going to work for the public and (hopefully) keep John Q. Public safe. In the service of others...that is the difference.

I totally agree, however, if, as was said earlier, that if they are joining the military, or becoming a fireman or a policeman for the money, and serving others is secondary, should they get the recognition they get? 2005 Winnebago Voyage 38J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJW Posted July 9, 2019 Report Share Posted July 9, 2019 Boys give this S@%T a rest. All this guy is doing is trolling. I am sure if someone came into his post office and went postal on his ass it would not have been a farm worker that he would have been looking to save him.
