Just another attempt to spark up the rage in Americans to go out and join that occupy bullshit and kill USA.
Хочешь тушить - плати. Не хочешь гореть, не поджигай. Какая проблема? В России тоже такая система нужна. Зачем я плачу за пожарную службу, если живу в деревне, от которой пожарка находится в 30 минутах езды? И каждую весну одни и те же тупые рыбаки уплывают на одной и той же льдине в открытое море. И спасатели ищут в лесу любителей испытать свои туристические способности. Хочешь вертолёт - плати

HAHAHA this is the climax of stupidity. What a waste let a hundreds thousand good burn down for a profit of 75 bucks. Actually the owners would have paid even more. People are becoming mindless robots. Society has become a bunch of bureaucracy, laws bills and rules rather than people helping out each other. WTF!
So it's confirmed, the only thing police will do without a fee is beat on folks and the fire depts. sitting around watching homes burn deserve every penny of budget cuts they have coming their way. Absolutely disgusting!
These are three incidents and I'm sure there are more. But they don't out number the incidents where people are saved and helped dispite their personal choices. This looks to be more propaganda than news. I'd like to see follow up to those incidents where more likely than not people were held responsible for their inhumanity. Most Americans wouldn't stand for these actions, and wouldn't allow isolated stupidity to set their opinions.
So these states have the same problem as mainland China does when it comes to helping people. Two children in seperate incidents within a week of each other died horribly because the drivers said it be more costly to help them to just run them over in a van and a truck.
I agree with letting the houses burn, no one was in it, and the home owners made a choice not to pay the fire company for their service. like it or not fire fighting services are not a right and if you want them you have to pay whether it is included in your taxes or a 75 dollar fee.
@Spic173 that is not the problem here, the people decided it was not worth paying the fire company fee and they wold rather risk there house burning down. if the people in this story wanted fire services they could have bought a house in a city were the price of the fire service is included in the taxes or they could have payed the 75 dollar fee.
@WarezWald0 Yes a i am defending the firemen, why should they risk there lives to put out the fire, when the peoples who's house was burning did not even value their service enough to pay the 75 dollar fee.
this isn't the firemen's fault, its the people who decided that they want lower taxes and vote for politicians who get ride of the fire department.
> like it or not fire fighting services are not a right and if you want them you have to pay whether it is included in your taxes or a 75 dollar fee.
If it were included in taxes, it wouldn't be a 75 dollar fee, it would be much cheaper, because there would be less expenses on managers and adverts. Better yet, these people would still have their homes, because they didn't skip the time thinking about the fee.
@SpinCage I'm pretty sure that in Obamaland, the opposite would be true. Republican's claim that Obama is trying to bring about a "mommy state" where government takes care of everything for everybody. Isn't that exactly opposed to what is happening in this video?
The video is a paragon example of libertarian principles, not liberal ones.
The fire thing makes sense, but you should have an option to pay extra on the spot for service. Also they must have determined fire wouldn't spread to neighbor who did pay.
FUCK THE SYSTEM!!! if someone needs help damn it im gunna help. fuck law suits fuck the government and their bullshit. Its all " ILLUMINATI " they dont give a fuck.
Only in a America hahahahaha hope Israel turns around and uses their nukes on that waste of space land they call freedom hahaha harsh yes lots of innocent ppl will die but hey at lease most of the corporations CEOs are gone
Where I live we have a law. You are legally required to assist in any way you can. You can never be held liable for helping, even if you do it wrong and actually cause a problem. The only exception would be if more qualified people identify themselves and you refuse to step aside for them.
However we are told at forst aid training to walk away if we see something happen in the US. Do nothing is the advise then.
I thought that the property taxes people pay to there towns and cities , were for setting up services for the community .such as police , fire and rescue , so on .
This is what happens when you allow corruption into your heart and soul.
@timrowe28 With the case of the fire department, the fire department is in one state and the area where the fire happen is in another state. So the city/county offered fire services to the people across the state line for a fee since they don't pay taxes to their state or city/county. I remember this story from about a year ago. The area across the state line is a rural area with maybe few 100 people living near the border.
Most American workers hate communism because they haven't read anything and choose to remain ignorant. They only repeat the corporate and state mouthpieces and media.
Even though it is sad that their house burned down, I don't understand why they wouldn't pay a 75 dollar yearly fee to protect their home from fires. That's like 6 dollars a month. They can't expect a service for free when other people have to pay for it. Seeing how the fire department relies on taxpayer money, if people received free service, others would also expect it and just stop paying. Then down goes the fire department and everybody's home would burn down.
@SpinCage, The reason Americans tend to idolize public service workers is because they remember an era when the majority of those working in public service merited said idolization. There's been a sea-change in American ethics and morality in just 1 generation; the boomers sold out. Result: their children don't have the same moral or ethical principles as the generation which raised the boomers.
However, the pendulum is swinging back; people are sick of the corruption.
Remember the woman who sued a dead teenager because one of his flying body parts landed on her after he was smashed to bits by a train???? (o_o) yeb...
Anybody can sue anybody. It doesn't mean they'll get away with frivolous lawsuits. If anything, they waste their own money pursuing a frivolous suit. This is propaganda against justice. It's not a big problem in America that people who are saved from drowning sue their saviors. This is complete bullshit. More people should get sued, REALLY. The megacorporations and government ARE massively abusive right now, have ALL opened themselves upto lawsuits. Jailing the abusers is how to reduce lawsuits.
Do these firemen even have any sense of shame/disgrace or have they totally switched from the spirituality of firemen to the work mentality that usually only lawyers and politicians have? Did they depart the scene or did they just continue standing there?
The firemen stayed at the scene of the incident so as to ensure that PAYING customers of their services were not affected by the fire. They thank all those kindly for their patronage, reminded them when their next bill was due, praised capitalism and libertarianism then promptly departed once the fire had taken its course.
@harveybirdmannequin Thank you for the info. How United States classifies even as well as moderate in the Wikipedia article "failed state" is beyond me. Maybe it is moderate just barely.
Its impossible 4 men 2 think w/both brain hemispheres @ the same time. So its impossible 4 then 2 B human & logical @ once. In the face of an emotional cognitive situation, they naturally mentally paused & react like this.
Until Americans truly represent themselves 4 who they are, more than 50% female, then they will continue limping through civilization*
when the citizens of this country start sticking together, don't pay taxes, don't vote for their morons etc, the system will be forced to change. We need to take back our country! Until then, we lose everything and it should not matter if they paid the bill. We shouldn't have to pay anyone anything to live on this earth.
If they would do ANYTHING like this in Europe(at least in austria) they would instantly get suspended and sued for not helping them and get up to one year in prison according to § 323c.
Also if someone pulls you out of the sea to save your life and breaks a rib or two, he is a hero and noone would EVER even get CLOSE to the idea to sue them in any way shape or form.
Land of Freedom my ass, Land of Surpression and Greed it is.
What the hell is wrong with our country? People's houses can burn down just because they didn't pay a fucking bill!? WHAAAAT?? The Fire Department is State run, so it isn't like this is some private company or something!
When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
@ascendedskater25 the Americans are too pussy to do anything, they would rather get raped by the fed then move from their couch. These ppl in Washington are the real Nazis
They told the man that if he doesn't pay the 75$ service charge each year then the fire department wouldn't come and help in an emergency. the man agreed to this and didn't pay. An accident occurs and he goes to the news to claim he's been cheated, the system if against him, blah blah blah. he refused the service for years. it's his fault. It's like not paying auto insurance and then knocking on State Farms headquarters and asking them for a new car when you get in an accident.
I understand what you're saying here, but the larger point of what's happening in Tennessee and elsewhere in America, is that the business of putting out fires isn't just an issue involving one man's responsibility to himself. It's a greater societal issue. The business of putting out fires is a collective need and is part of the the "Commons". That's why in wealthy democracies, police/fire/ambulance is publicly funded, so everyone's covered.
@icarus313 it is the exact same thing in america only it isn't a tax, its a seperate charge and the firefighters didn't just watch it burn, they made sure everything around him like other properties who actually paid for their services were safe which is exactly what they are supposed to do. Suppose firefighters had tried saving his house without him paying for the service they can be found liable for damages and the guy could easily be a dick and sue them out of spite...
...Except if this exact scenario had played out in a different country (or even just a different US state) the result would have been a man who still had a house. One less person who's life is destroyed. One less person requiring assistance to get back on their feet. The question still remains: if the concern is over being sued for helping, why is this not an issue everywhere else? Answer: because the taxes pay for the entire thing, and thus, all fires are put out.
@icarus313 what does it matter what could happen? this is what happened and regardless of his reasons he chose not to protect himself and his property and that's his choice and responsibility. The only reason that paying for the fire department with tax dollars is better is because people can't not pay for protection. Some counties apparently want more individualized payments or something where they can choose which services they want and it's their right to choose to do so.
I can't think of a single instance in modern history of any major group who rose up and declared "This taxpayer-funded fire protection stinks! I demand the right to opt out and pay for my own fire protection!" Those are two sentences I don't think I've ever heard anyone say! This has very little to do with people's "rights to opt out" and everything to do with creating a functional society where we don't let buildings burn down for stupid reasons.
@icarus313 Your not listening. I'm saying this group of people chose this system. It is a law in their counties, meaning these people wanted this at some point. I'm not disagreeing with a tax funded fire department that is clearly the better system. All I stated was that this man, in this area, where this is the law, has no right to complain in anyway, unless he's proposing a change to the laws of his county, as for the damages to his home that was his fault.
Are these people not already paying property taxes by law?Road construction and maintenance and local government staff salaries within the community are all things that are paid for with your tax dollars. Any municipal employees, such as police, fire fighters, and the local public works department are also paid through your property taxes. SO WTF?
It used to be people paid a small equal tax to make sure everyone in the community was covered and the firefighters could get paid. Who separated this out and turned it into an optional fee? Was this the maniacal anti-tax conservatives that did this?
That's the problem with today's society...WE used to be the greatest country in the world...All these people highlighted in this video need to retain REALLY GOOD LEGAL COUNSEL...AND SUE.
Paying the local fees is part of the RESPONSIBILITY for owning a home. CHOOSE not to pay, CHOOSE to take the CONSEQUENCES for your DECISION. Stuff happens - that's why we have insurance, and that $75 is a form of insurance.
You could sue them if they gave you an opinion they would come to somewhat help, knowing they would deny action when arriving.
Regarding the saving of the guy in the water. Simply take the uniform off, declare your position, and act as a citizen, other words not an employee of the fire business. People should lawfully be compelled to help another's life if they have the ability and are not putting themselves in grave danger. Many nations have laws for this.
@PeekyBooo I wish it were that easy, but even off duty, professional are not protected under the Good Samaritan Act. USA is a sure happy country. one step in the right direction would be to qualify everyone under the Good Samaritan Act.
would be nice to pay for the air we breathe and if someone breathes without paying a fee would be killed... But in fact i love when more and more such things comes out of the sack, Cause in fact all we need is just education and mind and no laziness to live normally we don't need fees or other shit to control us, all we need is philosophy, and forget gold. Now we see our houses burning, people being killed for money, oil, then crying for someone they have lost, therefore killing other strangers
Yep! I did notice the libertarian government behave liberally. No government interference was the desired effect for the desired act of nonpayment for service. It seems mission accomplished.
..anybody woken-up yet? Welcome to "Brave-New-World"! We gotta get together - see the good in ourselves and others - and start the whole shebang in NEW ways!
If you don't pay your fee = the ultimate spitefulness is exercised. The law is flawed because of MONEY being in the way of living as individuals that are able to care for one another as equals. As long as Money is the reason to neglect any emergency we know that there is something absolutely WRONG in this world. "How can we allow that to happen?" I extend this statement to the totality of this world, We Are the System, we are the solution to make sense of this world and finally live as Equals.
Guess how much money the fire dept made the day after this story and guess how much equipment they bought to help better fight fires in the area with that money.
....sounds like malfeasance to me....that would never happen in Pennsylvania....that crap only happens in the newer states that weren't part of the original colonies....
NOTHING COMES FOR FREE! What do you expect? FREE emergency services?
$75 is far more important than your home, your life, and your family.
Of course, the USA is filled with lawyers. They also go by the name of Jews.
In other countries, there is such a thing as "the Good Samaritan Law" which basically states that you can be held liable for any damages when trying to aid someone in a life and death situation. But if you had that law, then Jew lawyers would be out of work.
this is logical...it's $75 fucking dollars that's nothing, they don't want people not to pay the fucking bills then get it done for them anyway. That's what they fucking have it for, incase this shit happens but then people go "nah my house will never get caught on fire, I don't need to pay this." then it fucking happens and people complain.
@Aeyxa May the same karma return to you. I know it's impossible for you to conceive how some can't afford even seventy five dollars. May you be shown no mercy if you ever find yourself in the same situation.
Sounds like a case of abandonment / negligence to me. They have the duty to act and did not act upon that duty. That failure to act resulted in financial damages that would not have occurred or have been so serious had they acted.
by the way, these people pay property taxes that has been going higher and higher every year. I wonder where that money is going since schools are becoming crapy and hospitals will not help you unless you can pay or have insurance...is it me or people are starting to smell the stink of a decaying and dying society?
You're wrong. That couldn't have happened in Nazi Germany, even if you were not insured, the fire fighters would, of course, have fought the fire. You just wouldn't be compensated for the damages. And what has the GeStaPo to do with it?
Interesting story as as citizens, we pay for "Fire Protection" with part of our property and income taxes. The "Fee" is nothing more than a Double Tax and illegal by the constitution.
I'd sue the fire department and refuse to pay any more "taxes".
@Marblemania You're so right, and it's known as Racketeering and illegal under federal law! It's the same thing Al Capone's people and other Mob Bosses were doing in Chicago, and still do for that matter, and the ones that stood by and did nothing should be charged with Racketeering, as well as every county or city official involved!
It's morally wrong that taxpayers' homes are allowed to burn down while the government does nothing. People ARE now PAYING hidden carbon taxes, can't they at least put out the fires on the premise that it's to lower carbon emissions? For f**ks sake these are peoples' homes!!
Like my friend loves to say .. Money is the root of all evil ... But fiat money is trash .. its just a dirty paper with trust .. after all USA is in 15 trillion dollar debt .. ready to crash ... life is more important then a worthless dollar.
What is this garbage? Did these reporters even come to the United States?! No. They obviously didn't. There isn't any public outcry here. Is this a real news station? Or is this comedy news? I've heard of yellow journalism...but wow...this really bad.
if a HUMAN BEING allows himself not to save a feloow HUMAN because of work regulations or whatsoever... if this isn´t SLAVERY I don´t know what it is.
75 bucks... WTF is wrong with these people?

Do these firemen even have any sense of shame/disgrace or have they totally switched from the spirituality of firemen to the work mentality that usually only lawyers and politicians have? Did they depart the scene or did they just continue standing there?

@Cybernaut76
The firemen stayed at the scene of the incident so as to ensure that PAYING customers of their services were not affected by the fire. They thank all those kindly for their patronage, reminded them when their next bill was due, praised capitalism and libertarianism then promptly departed once the fire had taken its course.

Let those who did not pay for services be responsible for their actions. CHECK!

If they would do ANYTHING like this in Europe(at least in austria) they would instantly get suspended and sued for not helping them and get up to one year in prison according to § 323c.
Also if someone pulls you out of the sea to save your life and breaks a rib or two, he is a hero and noone would EVER even get CLOSE to the idea to sue them in any way shape or form.

They told the man that if he doesn't pay the 75$ service charge each year then the fire department wouldn't come and help in an emergency. the man agreed to this and didn't pay. An accident occurs and he goes to the news to claim he's been cheated, the system if against him, blah blah blah. he refused the service for years. it's his fault. It's like not paying auto insurance and then knocking on State Farms headquarters and asking them for a new car when you get in an accident.

@GodlessGonads
I understand what you're saying here, but the larger point of what's happening in Tennessee and elsewhere in America, is that the business of putting out fires isn't just an issue involving one man's responsibility to himself. It's a greater societal issue. The business of putting out fires is a collective need and is part of the the "Commons". That's why in wealthy democracies, police/fire/ambulance is publicly funded, so everyone's covered.
icarus313 1 month ago
@icarus313 it is the exact same thing in america only it isn't a tax, its a seperate charge and the firefighters didn't just watch it burn, they made sure everything around him like other properties who actually paid for their services were safe which is exactly what they are supposed to do. Suppose firefighters had tried saving his house without him paying for the service they can be found liable for damages and the guy could easily be a dick and sue them out of spite...

...Except if this exact scenario had played out in a different country (or even just a different US state) the result would have been a man who still had a house. One less person who's life is destroyed. One less person requiring assistance to get back on their feet. The question still remains: if the concern is over being sued for helping, why is this not an issue everywhere else? Answer: because the taxes pay for the entire thing, and thus, all fires are put out.
icarus313 1 month ago
@icarus313 what does it matter what could happen? this is what happened and regardless of his reasons he chose not to protect himself and his property and that's his choice and responsibility. The only reason that paying for the fire department with tax dollars is better is because people can't not pay for protection. Some counties apparently want more individualized payments or something where they can choose which services they want and it's their right to choose to do so.
GodlessGonads 1 month ago
@GodlessGonads
I can't think of a single instance in modern history of any major group who rose up and declared "This taxpayer-funded fire protection stinks! I demand the right to opt out and pay for my own fire protection!" Those are two sentences I don't think I've ever heard anyone say! This has very little to do with people's "rights to opt out" and everything to do with creating a functional society where we don't let buildings burn down for stupid reasons.
icarus313 1 month ago
@icarus313 Your not listening. I'm saying this group of people chose this system. It is a law in their counties, meaning these people wanted this at some point. I'm not disagreeing with a tax funded fire department that is clearly the better system. All I stated was that this man, in this area, where this is the law, has no right to complain in anyway, unless he's proposing a change to the laws of his county, as for the damages to his home that was his fault.

You could sue them if they gave you an opinion they would come to somewhat help, knowing they would deny action when arriving.
Regarding the saving of the guy in the water. Simply take the uniform off, declare your position, and act as a citizen, other words not an employee of the fire business. People should lawfully be compelled to help another's life if they have the ability and are not putting themselves in grave danger. Many nations have laws for this.

If you don't pay your fee = the ultimate spitefulness is exercised. The law is flawed because of MONEY being in the way of living as individuals that are able to care for one another as equals.

I extend this statement to the totality of this world, We Are the System, we are the solution to make sense of this world and finally live as Equals.

Of course, the USA is filled with lawyers. They also go by the name of Jews.
In other countries, there is such a thing as "the Good Samaritan Law" which basically states that you can be held liable for any damages when trying to aid someone in a life and death situation. But if you had that law, then Jew lawyers would be out of work.
