Lots are
Firefighters might do an important job, but they are still just people
Same as nurses and teachers. There are still plenty of stupid and ignorant ones out there
Theyre being fed lies
Convenient lies that they wouldn't believe unless they didn't want to
My father is a simpleton. He believes whatever suits his ignorance.
There are too many people like him
while I'm grateful they exist, and respect their work I've known a few firefighters in my time, and I wouldn't exactly say they were the brightest of folks.
They volunteer to run into burning buildings. It's like paratroopers; brave is a word, but I can think of a few other ones...
Yep
Me too
