The life of a hero sucks...badly

[squarecut1]

Teachers are not heroes.

Teachers are not heroes. Cops are heroes.

This explains a lot of what is wrong in America today

Cops are heroes.

P and N suggests otherwise.

This forum is not representative of all of America. The mindset above is actually quite prevalent. There is a reason education is nowhere near as high priority as "security" is in our society. Infact education is just not a priority at all

I think dedicating one's life to educating and tolerating useless little shits like yourself is hero-worthy. Thankfully, teachers get through to some. Unfortunately, some fall through the cracks. As we see here.

Falling through the cracks? This, coming from someone that can't capitalize the first word in a sentence and spells high school as one word. The only person you has fallen through the cracks is you.

Our educational statistics show a whole hell of a lot of students falling through the cracks. Is that a student or teacher problem?

Most people on these forums do not consider cops as heroes,.. or even human.

Your everyday COP is not a hero...all they do is generate money for the local powers that be....and occasionally unload their weapon on citizens who have their hands in the air....

The 9/11 Cops and firefighters are all HERO`s!!

You have ZERO reading compression once so ever! I have a high school diploma and a GED! And high school is two words, jack ass!

If you are going to make fun of someone's grammar you'd better be damn well sure your own grammar is in order

Based on your posting history, I'd say the problem is about poor parenting and I'm sure I could even argue that poor parenting is due to long hours and low paying jobs and a cultural mentality that taking vacations or time off is looked down upon.

Teachers have what to do with heroes again?

You are mistakenly confusing jobs = hero.
A hero is a person who puts others first at the sacrifice of him/herself.

My ex gf now is in the military. She told me once she joined because she wants to save people and she has no problem dying to do so. To me that makes her a hero.

My old high school teacher Dr. Sutro who taught in the city of Arcadia, CA went through incredible length to make US History fun and very educational for us. For a Doctorate who could probably make so much more elsewhere, he didn't have to do all that he did to teach us and to prepare us for college, but he did. I was starting my Junior year in high school and pretty much already made up my mind I was going to be a good for nothing thug for the rest of my life, after all I was good at nothing. A quarter into his class changed my life when I saw an "A" grade for the first time in a long time. Maybe I'll give this studying and college thing a try. If not for him, maybe today I would be mugging your house right now, but I like to think that I'm now making a pretty decent contribution to this country. Dr. Sutro is a hero in my book.

John Conner is the thug that slept at his desk next to you, thought Dr Sutro was a BRAINIAC MORON ROFL! and just skipped his class to mug your house.

I'm sorry but just having a certain job does not make you a hero. Most teachers are worthless as are most cops. Just being in the military or being a firefighter doesn't make you a hero either. Your deeds and how you treat and value others are what set you a part...not a label. Get over yourselves.

Agreed.

There are often noble ideas and beliefs at play in the decision to choose a "service to community" position, that said, not everyone even makes these choices based on noble ideas. The most important part is that, even among those who made decisions based upon such well-meaning noble ideas, quite a few are worthless and either catch a ride on the coat-tails of others; or they, in general, are miserable scum that couldn't give a damn about selfless service in the day to day operations of their profession, or life in general.

The worthless ones often feel proud enough in their decision to serve the community--and quite often have a dangerous pride--that the decision is self-serving and, in their mind, should suffice without need for any further qualified action that may cause discomfort or otherwise interrupt their lives.

That said, there are still plenty who take up that personal challenge when it is presented.
And there are others yet who seek it out, often going out of their way. Those are the truest of heroes, the most noble among us.

you're the guy who sought advice here about how to kill a roommate's girlfriend, right?

No, that wasn't me. You must either be be thinking of someone else or deliberately obfuscating what I've written in the past in order to make a false point.

Bullshit. I have a TON of Police in my family, and one good friend of mine works with Homeland Security cases for the FBI.

They are all well rounded professionals and live pretty damned good lives. Two of them I went skydiving with this past summer and they go on vacations more than I do (and I've been on 5 this year.) All of them have either one house paid off, or have 2 houses, and have, in general, great lives.

I can't speak for military veterans, but here in NYC, law enforcement has it great. It makes me wonder why they'd jeopardize their careers for something as trivial as putting a bullet in some scumbags head, no matter how much the POS deserves it.

The funny thing is, the FBI person makes way less than the NYPD officer, but still makes a decent penny.

Homeland Security and regular cops are not what I specified in my OP. I specified a specific group or person.

dari. dont disclose where someone lives who works in organized crime.

Did I? Where did you see me do that? You're talking about when I mentioned "the firm"? That's an inside name for Central Intelligence.
