david gregory just asked gov walker on meat the press, about some exemptions for police and fire, while still encouraging them to engage in collective bargaining.


""are you saying that sand police are more important than teachers who spend six hours a day in a class room?"

and i say... yes, yes they are. they are more important to our society.

Is the liver more important than the heart?

the liver is the only organ that regenerates.
 
well, police are obviously not. like the old saying goes: "Never around when you need one. Always there when you don't" :p
 
We are all Teachers, we don't however all run against the crowd, or into burning buildings, or reach into burning cars to save lives.

What a way to minimize what a teacher is.

That's rich Intense...really.

LoL!!!

Which is why "liver failure" is completely unheard of.

Skin, the largest organ on the body, regenerates. I learned that from a teacher.

And if Republicans had their way, they would be doing that at 70.

Good point (I think)
They're all important, we just can't afford to pay them high wages and gold plated medical benefits anymore.
 
They are both important. Putting your life on the line everyday is something not many people want to do. Teaching isnt on that type of level. But it is important.

Yeah, being a public school teacher is really the path to riches.
 
Society needs both firefighters and teachers.

Gov. David ”I’m Mr. Koch’s whore!’ Walker is obviously cynically trying to pit firefighters and cops against teachers and public nurses, and split their support.

But like most fringe rightwingers, Gov. Walker is evidently unaware that most human beings, including most firefighters, have humility and modesty about their jobs and are not prone to viewing themselves as superior to other public workers. The chances are slim to none that the firefighters union is going to throw the teachers union under the bus, and support Walkers cynical proposal to only let firefighters and cops have collective bargaining.

It is not minimizing what a Teacher is. There is really no comparison, when you consider the risk Cops and Firemen take every day. Consider for a moment, the lifetime of Toxins and carcinogens a NYC Fireman is exposed to over a 20-25 year career. There is no compensation that will balance that sacrifice. The stress of Cop's and Firemen, is beyond compare, it effects every aspect of their lives .Sorry, that's just how I see it. That is not a put down to the teaching profession. You shouldn't take it that way. ;)

If that is the case ....then we shouldn't allow police and firemen to have collective bargaining......they are too important to lose

Who cares if a teacher strikes? We don't need them anyway
 
"the risk Cops... take every day"

Yes. Driving 90 down a surface street while talking on a cell-phone and playing with a dashboard computer without lights or siren is noble indeed :p

as for firefighters risking their lives EVERY DAY, give me a break

He doesn't really believe what he types.

Its just whatever he can say that will support his agenda, and attack differing opinion.

see, that's what a socialist does, try to render it undiscussable.


i've noticed that some teachers and unions are throwing some firefighters and cops and military, under the bus, and clinging to their coat tails while indulging their own self importance
