If I were to go through and rate those professions myself I would have Pilot at number 1  and Meteoroligist at #20.....ya I would trust a priest more then someone predicting the weather  Smiling

Find it very hard to believe

Find it very hard to believe that people trust judges more than politicans. Every survey I've ever seen in the UK puts judges very very low

And I already wondered why judges came out that low. In Germany they would be actutally higher esteemed then the place they received in this survey.

Ok, this proves the list is bogus. We are raising funds here to buy our local meteorologists a window so they'll at least be able to get the current weather right.

"Anyone can repress a woman, but you need 'dictated' scriptures to feel you're really right in repressing her. In the same way, homophobes thrive everywhere. But you must feel you've got scripture on your side to come up with the tedious 'Adam and Eve not Adam and Steve' style arguments instead of just recognising that some people are different." - Douglas Murray

St. Lucie County Fire District Investigating Incident after MVC

St. Lucie County, FL

 

 

– Fire Chief Ron Parrish today issued the following statement:

 

 

I’m speaking to you today because a situation has occurred that calls into question the public’s trust in our

responsibility and commitment to provide emergency care to our citizens. It’s an extremely serious matter and

one I find personally disturbing.

Last Friday, September 19, SLCFD responded to a motor vehicle crash incident at the 118 MM of I-95. The

patient was airlifted to a trauma center. After the patient was airlifted, it is alleged one of our firefighters

removed a foot from the accident scene.

As soon as I was made aware of the situation, yesterday morning, we began an internal investigation. That

investigation is still on-going.

Once the investigation is concluded we will be issuing an update to the media.

This is a very serious allegation, and we have an obligation to the public and those involved to investigate it

thoroughly.

It is very possible the woman FF in question thought there was

no possible way the foot could have been reattached and if she

is a cadaver dog trainer her intentions may have been 'good'.

The list fails.  It doesn't

The list fails.  It doesn't have me as #1.  I am the most trustworthy person that ever existed as I never lie.
