Is there any profession you don't trust?

[mammador]

I don't trust psychiatrists and psychologists. They seek to label people despite them being an ostensibly benevolent vocation.

These are examples:

OK, so if a man likes D/E cups, yeah, it means he detests women, but it's not because he is aesthetically drawn to them. or the first women he ever dated had large ones, and he's been attracted to them since.

You need to find new trolling material. This material is old and worn out; we've busted you for it several times now. But while you only have old material, we have something new: a one month vacation.

what's more is that there is no other inference that can be made here, other than that men who like large boobs are evil.

Distrusting someone based on their profession is no better than distrusting them because of their race, gender or nationality. It's true that some professions may attract less trustworthy people, but we should really judge every person as an individual.

Says who? PC society?

Psychology merely seeks to push its own morals onto society

 

[ImpulsE69]

I distrust lawyers, government officials, most religious leaders, car salesmen, amway salsmen, jehova witnesses....pretty much anyone who comes to my door to sell me something, serial killers, forum moderators...yea..i'm sure there are more...

:hmm:

 

[phucheneh]

Most all 'trades.' Electricians, plumbers; contractors and handymen in general. As a mechanic, I can say I would wholly distrust them, too.

Plus lawyers. And IT people.

Anyone in a customer service industry.

Police officers.

Anyone who stands to profit from dishonesty.

Most of society.

Sales.

 

[lxskllr]

Most of society.

That's what it comes down to, isn't it? It's easy to pick out lawyers and used car salesmen, but what professions that regular people encounter are trustworthy? I can't think of a single one. I think physicists are trustworthy, but I don't think I've ever met one.

Chiropractors

Well the guy who invented that sham said he could cure blindness by "adjusting" the spine. Of course he never did and the scheme of this quack science lives to this day.

In fact, most people "practicing" it now are only really doing physical therapy - the same you would get from a real physical therapist.

People who believe in vertebrate subluxations typically also believe in Jesus Christ, the tooth fairy, Mary fucking Poppins and Loch Ness.

 

[dr150]

Politicians, banksters, lawyers, accountants, drug peddling doctors, salesmen of any kind, church clergy, dentists, mechanics, tenants, strippers, drug dealers, dating really beautiful women, highly ambitious people, repairmen....

I distrust mammadors.

 

[SOFTengCOMPelec]

None. I want to be open minded about each person when I first meet/deal with them, within each profession, until there is significant evidence, otherwise.

At some point you will have experience and won't need to be so vulnerable.

Nope, you got it completely backwards.

The study showed that sexist men preferred big boobs, not that men who preferred big boobs were sexist.

It's not the same thing at all. Even you stated that "some professions may attract less trustworthy people." Since you are saying that it is "no better", you are essentially saying "some races, genders and nationalities are less trustworthy."

I do generally agree that you should judge individuals on their own merits. But someone's choice of profession is a bit of a reflection. If someone hold the profession of "slaver" for instance, that reflects poorly on them. If they are a "used car salesman" I might not automatically dismiss them as distrustful, but I'll probably be more on my guard than if they are a "firefighter."

Really? lol...

I presume some small boobed psychologist compiled this study out of spite/resentment. rather ironic for somebody who treats others on good emotional health.

Politicians, lawyers, high end managers (directors, CEOs etc)... pretty much anyone who has authority and can use it to make their lives better and your life crappy. Lot of people of authority tend to grow corrupted and will step on people's toes the first instant they get, so they can benefit from it.
