I worked as a Firefighter for 25years until retirement. I saw guys get their backs broken by falling debris, I saw head injuries, hand injuries, smoke inhalation,Burns , hell I suffered some of them. I don’t see anyone saying we should do away with Firefighters.

You buys your ticket you takes your chance’s.

Life is that way, No job is without it’s dangers.

I just started reading this thread and I'm sure that someone downthread has pointed out the logical problem with this statement:

You do see the problem here, don't you? Firefighters are necessary, football players simply aren't.
