You can get paid for doing that? Wow sign me up!

My point was that while some of the people here "hold in utmost contempt" the careers of others, I do not. I hold in contempt people who make blanket statements about politicians, lawyers, cops, whathaveyou. People should stop whining about that kind of crap.
What fun would that be John? Take off your girdle, relax and have some cheap fun. Hey at least nobody is slamming professional musicians:thumbsup:

After being a telemarketer for a short period of time, I'd like to say 90% of the people I call are assholes.

mainly cops and lawyers, I think in other jobs you'll find good and bad depend more on the type of person that does the job. Cops and Lawyers just do very little that is useful.

See how quickly your society would crumble without police around.

wtf? why don't people like cops? They have to deal with the scum of this country and pt their life on the line doing it!

And no, I am not a cop and really don't know any personally.

Look at it this way, Anytime the police are around, something bad has happened:

Someone has died
You are getting a ticket
Something was taken from you
Something of yours was broke
Someone you know or yourself have been attacked
Ect.

People simply associate police with negative things, so they see the police as negative.

That and AT has an overall problem with people in any authority position.

IT "managers"
Mortgage brokers
New York DMV employees

New York traffic cops would be a close fourth for me.

Oh, and what's wrong with Anderson Cooper? I could understand Bill O'Reilly or Keith Olbermann, but did that Anderson do wrong?
