Ferris Bueller's Day Off is over-rated.

Dunkin Donuts sucks.

Jay Cutler would be a top 5 QB with better talent to work with.

A brisk winter day is better than a scorching 90-degree day in July.

in 20 years, people are going to talk about the 80's and gen-x the way this generation talks about baby boomers. the 80's will be "overrated" and everything about it "stupid" because of all the force-feeding we've done this decade, especially with all the bad remakes.

may not even take 20 years. may only take 5. but it'll happen. "fuck you 80's, you made our generation suck with the shitty remakes and bad 80's parties. fuck new wave, fuck the cure, fuck back to the future and fuck john fucking hughes! and 90's you were no better. fuck you spin doctors!"

And Spice Girls, Biggie vs. Pac, and Beavis & Butt-Head.

I'm not a Phil hater but yes, I still think Red is the greatest coach of all time. Followed by Phil and Pops.

You better find something to admire about the McRib, JORR

People give far too much praise/credit to those who serve in the military. Unlike those who serve as Police Officers or Fire Fighters and have to take a battery of tests to qualify for a position over hundreds or thousands of others, they are mostly losers with such poor prospects that they choose a job in the military. Many have a very poor educational background and it's no suprise to me, when I hear about one of them killing innocent civilians abroad. The military should go back to a draft, so they would have a better pool from which to gain a higher quality soldier.

There are plenty of bad eggs who are cops and firemen too.

We did have to take multiple tests to get in.

We weren't allowed to lie about our results either.

Lets just concentrate on Steve acting like Cops and Fireman are all educated people with good backgrounds and a ton of choices.

Chicago firemen go thru testing, but some of them are chosen randomly for that testing. Some of the luck out and have their name pulled, so all they have to do is pass the physical tests and they have a cush job basically for life. Not saying they don't deserve praise, but they are hardly the best of the best.

Neither are cops steve, and you prove that day in and day out.

Did Steve really say cops come from betterr educational backgrounds than soldiers? I haven't met a lot of cops that were intellectual powerhouses really. In fact, I've never really dealt with a particularly smart one. Most of the smart cop types end up with Quantico educations.

Cops and Fireman are to be respected but as many of them, it not more, choose their proffessions out of lack of options.



Its just hilarious. Steve may as well have said Army guys eat too many donuts.

Who can do more pushups?

You don't believe it to be true? Go apply for a job as a Police officer and see what the process is like. You take a physical agility/strength test, then a written examination, then a psychological examination (here is the ammo you seek-no doubt) then a Polygraph examination (lie-detector test-kinda eliminates the lying stuff) and then they do a background investigation, usually including going back to the schools and neighbors you went to/grew up around, as well. In the end they usually (except for a large department like Chicago)they will only hire 1-2 officers from a testing pool of 800-over a thousand applicants. Unless you have a degree in criminal justice or Law Enforcement Administration, your chances for employment are nil these days. In almost every Academy class these days, over 90% of the people in the classes have such degrees and of the small percentage that do not, most come from sheriff's departments from more rural locations (Jo Davies County for example). You are still allowed to be an asshole, but you have to be an educated and qualified asshole.


As far as my opinion being one that is differing than many on this subject....is that not the definition of this thread-"My Contrarian Opinion"??? Mine just happens to bring about more of an emotional reaction than some, it seems.

I cant speak on what it takes to be a cop.

I can say, the absolute dumbest kid in my high school. I mean the guy that you worried would hurt himself he was so dumb, became a cop (and a good one. Lauded by the Sun Times as part of the "Jump out boys")

Most guys I grew up with that became cops, were a similiar story.


Also, according to google, 45% of cops have a college degree. I find it hard to believe that 90% do now.


If you took all the cops and fireman I know (some in my family) about 90% of them would not be considered intelligent or educated.


Maybe my experience is unique, but I doubt it

The only way I believe that 80+% of police have a degree is if you take out the general patrolmen. Detectives, chiefs, higher ranking guys might.

You want to know how educated some cops are? Drive drunk in Hometown. Even if you get pulled over, you'll end up getting released the next day. Why? Because nobody on the Hometown PD can fill out the paperwork for a DUI correctly. Every time they do, the case gets thrown out of court because of something that was done wrong. How do I know this? One of my good friends sister is a part time dispatcher there on the weekends.

Real smart people we've got protecting us. And that is just one example, I'm sure there are literally hundreds of others across the state and city.

My second favorite part of this thread is that someone who has a job that doesn't require a strong educational background thinks that someone would only choose a job like that because they are losers with such poor prospects that they choose one of the few jobs they can actually do.

One of the things that my educational background provided me, was the luxury of options. I could have remained on the Police force. I could have taken a job as a Probation officer, or a number of other jobs...or I could do the job of running the Painting/Wallpapering business that I run today. Initially, there was a sense of duty to my Father that helped me to make the choice of leaving the force to take over the business operations when I did . But I could have returned to Police work after he had recovered from the heart attack had I chosen to. But I was happier doing what I do now, so I took the option of staying with this choice. Are there really smart and capable soldiers-of course. You watch the SEAL team members and how they operate and it's clear they are more mentally disciplined and intelligent by far, and are great exceptions to the generalizations I have made reguarding todays soldiers. But most of them (MOST) are really dumb losers that just had no other reasonable option, so they joined the military.
