O...K....

The humorous part is that Dumb Bitch assumed I was talking about her/him (I don't know Dumb Bitch's gender).

I believe Ghostwriter is male. I wouldn't have said that to a woman poster.

I'm not sure if menstruation jokes are any better when directed at a male. ;)

Welp, this was boring.

He is. I know he mentioned his fraternity several times.

It sucks that it happened, but again, they knew better. And if folks think it's a bad policy, they should have tried to initiate change.

LOL. I re-read this thread and laughed.

I love when I read my old posts and say "WTF WAS I THINKING?!"

Agreed. Also the fact that something like this happened just last year also brings across the point that it can happen.

Reminds me of the Roman fire department. They'd wait 'til your house caught on fire, then show up and offer pennies on the dollar to purchase it...then they'd put it out.

Of COURSE an accident would never happen... they must be a special kind of moron, living in a mobile home built so well that calamities like couldn't possibly happen. :eek:

How can people be SO STUPID?

I was gonna say "You sounded like a drunken frat boy." However....

I'm a little confused so if someone could help me out, that'd be great. The Fire Marshall (I think that's who that was) said they can't afford the manpower, equipment, etc. to go out to every fire. However, they DO go to every fire, just the unpaid ones they sit and watch it burn. You still have to pay for the dispatch of the men/women who are on the clock, watching the fire (not that most firemen are paid by the hour, but just saying). Is it the actual USE of the equipment that is so expensive? I guess what I'm saying is, where is the cost cutting if the trucks have to go out to every fire anyway?
