yea i fucked up the link i know, feel free to fix it.

I say the guy got what was coming to him. He took a risk by not paying the annual fee, and it backfired. (or should I say....burnt him?)

The fact still remains, these guys had the option to easily save this guy hundreds of thousands of dollars and emotional tradgety, and they didnt do shit. Yes, they weren't required to do anything as firefighters, but I would think as a decent thinking human being, if someones home is on fire, you try to help them. Its not like we're on different teams here, are we?

Do you have your papers?

as i just mentioned this, i'm going to say it's a red herring. there shouldn't have been a separate $75 subscription fee in the first place.

dont make the assumption that what i consider to be a moral code to live my own life by, and good public policy to be equal.

the fact of the matter is though that when i make the choice to help someone its a choice im making. when i make someone else help me through coercion, my "help" becomes a destructive act towards someone else's rightful property. see what im getting at?

if anything the person that chooses to help, and not demand help from his fellow man (read government initiatives) is the most morally upright person there is.

good luck keeping your property without a house. You're still not considering the whole picture, therefore i don't care to see what you're trying to get at.

I've been trying to stay out of this thread, because there's A LOT of ignorance.

But I'll slowly step in....

Firefighters don't make hazard pay. Just saying.

lets consider i own a home (which i dont) i enter into a private contract with a private company to provide fire protection for my home. chances are my home will never catch fire, i dont live in a wild fire prone area, the home is modern, and built well.

so as weve established, ive entered into a contract with a company to protect my home should it catch fire, they dont follow through with their end of the contract. we have a breach of contract, i sue for the damages, collect what i have coming.

or they put the fire out and it was a good deal ive kept up on my "fire insurance" payments.

ive lold a couple of time at the talking heads on the TV about how it was "ala carte" government, or a privatized model, when in reality it was the government, not the private sector. (not directed at you, just a general statement of my thoughts on the issue based on what ive seen on TV)

still not making any points, so i'll refrain from putting effort into this response. Can you guess which 10% of American's would disagree with you?

'we had priceless items in there, things that belonged to my mother and grandmother, etc etc'

then pay your fucking fee and receive the coverage. fuckin people trying to beat the system and plead for sympathy after shit goes sour. better luck next time, numbskull. cheap lesson, but that's the way it goes.
