Try dealing with trucker drivers everyday.


They live in a constant delusion of self entitlement. "I drive a truck, I make America run, there for everyone should bow down before me."....idiots

Nothing pleases more than trampling all over that firm held belief

The best was working the night desk in a college town (expensive college) during parents weekend. Those ____s don't know when to quit, until they have to deal with me.

He does it outside the state because thats why he choose this career. You do whats right when you have a chance. Also if you go into that career you make that choice (or obligation) to do something when called on.

I don't mean your father in particular. If I saw someone clutch their chest and hit the ground, I would drop everything to atleast try to keep them 'alive' until professionals arrived.

What I'm talking about is the expectaton that people are obligated, morally, to help. I am not obligated. I do not have a duty to help. Particularly if my life is at risk.

I personally don't believe that an EMT is obligated off hours to do so either, but to each their own.

glad i gots no education and no career. i don't wanna help nobody.

I got a career.

For a Pet or a Human??

Whatever Man... you wouldn't do anything different ....

I'm talking about a human.

You're probably right. My Dad is a better man than I am.

Well, thats what anyone should do from my POV. I don't know how anyone could just sit/stand there or walk on and watch someone possibly die. So yeah I think we're obligated to try and help each other in a time of need like that. Especially those with the skill set to help someone. That boggles my mind anyone can think that alone (even without the state law saying you must).

If duty is what motivates someone to act, do they really care?

If what you say is true than your Dad is part of that 1% of human civilization that will 100% put the needs of someone else infront of their own personal safety. Thats great! I hope if I am ever in an accident your Dad is near by, but most likely I'll be surrounded by members of the other 99% and die

There you go... a human will present more of an enlistment of courage then a dog/cat,,, on that, I hope we're all agreed...

I think so. I can only speak from what I now of folks that do this job. They have a duty but also a since of caring to help someone.

I'd like to think he's in that 1%. I'm quite proud of the old man.

Possibly. I have a duty to help someone in trouble while I am on the job, but I cant say that I genuinely care about everyone I help.

I know what you're both saying, but you're missing my point. I'll figure out how to say it. In the meantime...

When I was 6, I was riding home with my dad. It was night, and raining, so the road was exceptionally dark. We drove past a car wrapped around a telephone poll.

My dad pulled into the first parking lot he found, told me to stay in the car, and ran back to the accident scene. He pulled the guy from the wreck and began performing CPR. The only safe spot placed him behind the car (which was black) so oncoming traffic couldn't see.

The guy threw up in his mouth twice. He was bleeding from everywhere. This was in the days before cellphones, so it tok about 45 minutes for an ambulance to show. He kept him alive the whole time, but the kid died before he made it to the hospital.

We stopped at a store on the way home so he could get cigarettes. The clerk saw the blood on his clothes and asked, "What, did you save a life, or something?"

My dad's response was, "Almost."

No real point. Just wanted to tell that story.

Says a lot about your Dad. Thank you for sharing.

Cool story. Your Dad was a good dude

He was just one of those people who acted when action was needed. Really strong.

But if someone suggested for a second that he had to help, he would have told them where to go, and how.

Puke in the mouth ?....







I'd do the same...
