'So you can't pay $75 in fee? We'll let your house burn with your pets' - Firefighters - Polidicks

Mutter-feeker. This guy couldn't get his animals out of the house? What the hell, I would jump through the flames to get my cat, hell, even to get his cat. RIP: Dog x3 and Cat

Real americans don't help each other out in exchange for money. Those firefighters are just a bunch of losers along with the loser that forgot to pay a 75 dollar fee.

What a bunch of assholes.

How is this their fault? Why are they required to put out the fire? If you do not pay your bills and lose your electricity is it the electric company's fault? No, it is yours for not paying. Things are not free and you are NOT entitled for them. YOU ARE NOT ENTITLED TO THINGS YOU DONT PAY FOR.

I was unaware firefighters went into the job for the money. When did this happen?

Imagine you're being mugged. An armed policeman walks down that alley and sees you. You ask him for help and he says that you need to pay 75 dollars. You don't have 75 dollars. So the policeman leaves and the mugger burns you to death. Makes perfect sense.

In other words, shut up.

[QUOTE=Onyx3173;25262045]Right there.[/QUOTE] Well i did call them assholes, after all earlier. [QUOTE=Lambeth;25262043]In every sane place it is.[/QUOTE] That is a matter of opinion. I personally don't mind paying taxes for some things like this, to a local government, but the voters in that place obviously didn't. That is democracy. You like it or you don't. [QUOTE=Tetracycline;25262066]That's the loveliness of a developed nations, we have rights n shit[/QUOTE] That really isn't the subject matter.

[QUOTE]As the flames crept closer to the home[/QUOTE] Indicating that there was at least enough time BEFORE the house caught on fire for him to beg for help. My plan would be get everyone the fuck out of the house. THEN worry about the house.

[QUOTE=s0beit;25262076]Well i did call them assholes, after all earlier.[/QUOTE] My post didn't come across as condescending, did it? Wasn't meant to.

[QUOTE=Tetracycline;25262089]He was too scared to go in there and risk getting burned alive[/QUOTE] Yes, but you see, the fact that the flames were not at his house at the time, Meaning that the house was not on fire.

[QUOTE=Chickenfoot;25262106]Yes, but you see, the fact that the flames were not at his house at the time, Meaning that the house was not on fire.[/QUOTE] Would you risk running into your house to save your pets if it means that you could die in one of the worst types of deaths Also fire movement is very inconsistent

HE OFFERED TO PAY THEM AT THE SCENE, HE OFFERED MORE THAN HE OWED. THEY STILL REFUSED. Losing your cable because you forgot to pay the bill is no big deal because you can just contact them, pay them, and get it back. It's a bit different when dealing with a burning house.

[QUOTE=thisispain;25262095]thank the improbable god that america is not a democracy[/QUOTE] Don't play the name game here. Votes were held, people in the area agreed that this was best for them, they could have changed that opinion at any time but they [b]didn't[/b], they chose this for better or for worse. If they still think it's a bad plan they can cancel it at any time I'm sure. That is the beauty of laws on the local level, they are much easier to influence. I suppose your point was that we are a Constitutional Republic, however that isn't relevant here because having your house put out by a fire fighter isn't in the constitution anywhere. [QUOTE=Onyx3173;25262096]My post didn't come across as condescending, did it? Wasn't meant to.[/QUOTE] Not at all, i legitimately didn't see it.

Bluesummers is clearly a troll, and you all fell for it.

[QUOTE=Tetracycline;25262112]Would you risk running into your house to save your pets if it means that you could die in one of the worst types of deaths[/QUOTE] Yes. Yes I would.

[QUOTE=Tetracycline;25262122]Don't forget that losing cable is temporary and losing a house and pets is permanent[/QUOTE] Hence the last sentence, maybe I wasn't clear enough with the implication.

I would have done whatever I could myself and if I was physically forced to do nothing or otherwise hindered, I would immediately resign. What kind of person just stands and does nothing because of money?
