We don’t live in a communist country where jobs are assigned according to intellect or bulk. Police and firefighters weren’t drafted. If you chose to be one, I applaud you but that being said, that doesn’t mean you get to tell us how much you get paid because you chose a job that potentially puts your life in peril. If it’s not worth the risk, I wouldn’t blame you at all if you walked, but this job safety-guilt trip sh-- is starting to fall on deaf ears.

I started a FReeperthon in memory of my beloved Kitty, who died on 12/16/10.
I offered I believe $5 for everyone who posted a pic of their lost beloved pet, up to $200.
When I sent the donation in, there was NO RED, YOU’RE A HERO crap.
I was upset about my loss and knew other FReepers wanted to post their loss. If losing my Kitty benefited FR, so be it. At least something good came from it....including others giving to the FReeperthon, excluding my donation.
Thank you, my ~OVERLORD~ [curtsy]
Your post is an Epic Fail....try again.
bcopar, I would suggest you have the thread pulled and resubmit a thread with the valid points you are making included in their entirety.
Having read your opinions over many years, I presume you did not intend to have this effect or distraction.
Your points are valuable ones and deserving of discussion, but are completely lost in the forest of people who have a focus on a different agenda are make it nearly impossible to follow discussion on what you meant to say.
There are people to whom the act of “blog pimping” is considerably more egregious than real life pimping, just as there are people who are more intent on discouraging things like posting in the wrong forum and such. Once the battle begins, what points you make bocome completely irrelevant to those people, in much the same way some instructors will not consider your remarks unless you have raised your hand first. They have reasons they view as valid and the reasons, to them, are more important by far than the content of your words.
I disagree with the extent of that focus, but it is what it is.
Just my opinion, bcopar...
I get it.
You got the cramps, huh.
Better luck at not failing next week.
I remember that, it was a great idea.
I put ol' Joe cat on that thread, with his "resting" squirrel.
It is a matter of being honest and honorable.
I appreciate it if a friend buys or makes me a gift.
I wouldn’t appreciate it if they stole something and gave it to me.
See, blogpimping is no better than stealing and I am not going to give this guy or any other pimp a hit just like I won’t keep stolen stuff.
If bocopar has honor then they can post in full if not then they can expect to be a pariah.
Just give up. There is no use saying you have never seen it before and that TheOldLady is bad for posting it. You've been around for 7 or 8 years, and you have been on FReepathon threads. You have seen it. Enough stupidity already.
And just where is my “hero” statement?
Where exactly is my “hero” statement? There are plenty on FR who post here but do not contribute.
THAT was my point. It obviously went over your head.
Y'know, you come out on top (or near it) as one of the most obtuse, purposely stupid people I've talked to on FR. Go get a brain please.
Uh huh. FAIL.
Again, I have NEVER seen those big red words while giving to FR.
Bottom line, if the bloggers truly want to get the word out here on FR then post in full. If they are in it for the BS hits then they are self promoting liars and should expect this treatment.
So simple even YOU should understand.

LOL - now that's fu
Hear, hear!
I am done with this turned, stupid thread. My country is on it’s brink of destruction.....therefore, I will turn my attention to that matter, not “bloggers” who post on FR.
Good day.
