I thought the correlation was obvious. 😬You implied that we should watch what we say to police officers or we deserve to get "tazed".
I showed (or so I thought) that I thought that line of thinking was asinine.
people go out of their way to be asses to cops and wonder why they pay the price.
Originally posted by Alpha CentauriHahaha, so? Great, thanks to them. I appreciate it and everything.
I also appreciate someone fixing my pipes.
I'm not "shitting" on them, stop being such a vagina drip.
I'm saying I don't have to RESPECT them for what they do. Appreciate it, sure. Thanks and everything, but respect is not earned from doing that. If you cannot handle the fact that I simply see no reason to respect policemen or whatever, then tough shit.
I don't respect waiters for bringing my food to me, they chose to do it. It doesn't mean I won't go into a restaurant and expect their service. Who gives a shit? They have chosen to be cops unquestionably, me not respecting them for it does not mean I am void of asking them to do their jobs.
You're just being a cop out (No pun intended) by saying I do it because it's the rebel thing to do. I'm not, I really don't respect them. I'm not saying I'm out there shitting on them, hoping they get hurt, hoping they get killed. I am just not giving them additional respect simply because they COULD die.
And if you can't see the fact that it is possible to not "respect" either but also not to wish harm on either, then you need to leave, don't you?

Again, you're ignoring that they are necessary jobs, true they are voluntary, but 'necessary' is the key ingredient.
No, you don't have to respect, but you should respect someone who does a dangerous and necessary job, of which you live a more comfortable life under, unless of course you feel your life would be as safe (or safer) if fireman, police etc. didn't exist.
If you can't see the difference between a fireman etc. and a waiter or plumber as they function and affect society, than maybe you should leave? I never implied you meant "harm" to them, why go there.
Blax, get your tongue out of AC's *******.
Backfire, you've always wanted my cock, it's the reason you lash out at me.
RJ, get out of the closet, it's the 21st century, no need to hide.

this post?
Btw, jobs like police officer and firefighter are not necessary. They make our lives safer and more comfortable, but so do most jobs. So, that's not really the argument. The truth is, people think that police officers should be respected because they risk their lives, not because they do a job that's makes our lives more comfortable.
