that's sounds a little doubtful. maybe he wanted to be a fireman but couldn't pass the exam or physical.

I can imagine. What do you care?

Who wanted to be a Fireman? I said the same thing, the old man said he didn't know. He said the guy just started telling him that. Who knows, some weirdo Con Ed guy.

Yeh. Sour grapes.

He said they were able to do it because they were the only ones way down in the dangerous areas. Who knows.

I don't trust people when they start talking bad about others when they have no reason to do so. there's a certin charactor flaw that makes people do this, and I think that flaw also has the ability to lie about anything and everything. it's one thing to be angry, it's another to be malicious.

I can't imagine anyone would be so low to do that.

you believe these people are stealing from the trade center site. isn't that slghtly worse than lying about others?

I can see them rationalizing it. Where should the loot go? To the victims? To some clearing house that would cash it in and then take a hefty fee off the top before giving the proceeds away? It's a good question. What happened to all the loot?
(Wed Jul 24, 2002 - 4:28:04 pm)
Chewing Wax:
It was probably vaporized really.

I don't know. I'm sure it happened a lot.

Urban myth in the making. Sounds like it could be true because only a real asshole would suggest that.

Heruka:
I don't really see tha happening on a large scale. I think a fireman would have to have a level of descency and integrity in the first place. I don't think that position attracts a questionable type.
(Wed Jul 24, 2002 - 4:30:06 pm)
Decoy:
Not ALL the firemen would be in on it. Somebody would break ranks. ConIdiot.

I was shocked. I asked Tom how he got talking to the guy about that and he said the guy just started telling him all this stuff.
(Wed Jul 24, 2002 - 4:31:52 pm)
bela:
I'm sure the guy blew it way out of proportion. He made it seem like they were all in on it doing it out in the open. That really makes no sense.

and here we have the division of humanity. cynics and those who view people in a more negative manner will be prone to beieve that. those of us who like to view people as basically good will brush it off as a lie. Hmm.

I don't believe it.

Me neither.

I believe it. But only a very minute part of it. Maybe one or two screwballs are doing tis.

Maybe its a geographical thing. Like I live in a place where you don't trust anyone.

Yeah and only one or two CEOs are ripping off investors.

The more people around the less trust. Seems true. On the surface at least.

NYC is generally poor also. Right? The vast majority of them live near poverty for the most part. They have a lower standard of living. Maybe that has something to do with it.

ConEd? Power? Errr never mind.

Generally poor? I don't know about that.
