Report Violation

Are you sure you want to report the following content as a violation?

So if I understand this correctly-to you,a person is a hero/noble not because of what they do,but based on what they are or are not paid at the time of the incident?Do you have an issue with BFD staff eating at restaurants in their city?Where is it that you expect our local guys to eat?Overpaid by what standards?I think that anyone who is willing to go into a burning building to save someone could be called a hero.Doing it without training might be unwise,but still a hero.Training and equipment makes it more likely that both will emerge in better condition and if it were my child I'd prefer that,but to me-it's about the act and the choice to act that makes a hero,not the paycheck.Do you feel that people in the military can/have been heros?Or are they not qualified for that in your eyes due to their paycheck and training?Do all unpaid and unqualified people strike you as noble?
