EMS based Fire Suppression: affirmative action for fire fighters.

Single function paramedics: Because fire suppression technicians need heroes too.

Just a few of my favorite JEMS Connect replies to my posts.

Off to work--in the event I see a wreck I will turn the other way and not volunteer my freaking time for my fellow man--talk about terrorists in this country--we have several on this board with their extreme fanatical thinking--

Isn't it great when someone gives 'advice' only to turn around and ignore their own advice? Of course it's a sure sign that someone doesn't have a leg to stand on when they have to resort to personal attacks.

Finally, remember that the people you are dealing with here are all health care professionals. Treat and speak to them as such. You candisagree with someone respectfully. If you wanna dis people on your WOW site or at the Star Wars convention, feel free. Don't say things to the people in here that would get you butt kicked in real life.

Here's another "Hey, let's ignore the points made because I can't respond to them. Instead, let's incorrectly call the arguments a straw man and write a song worthy of the first week audition episodes of America's Got Talent or American Idol. All hail the mighty fire suppression technician's song writing ability!

Joe,

"That's like saying that plumbers, electricians, and engineers should be paramilitary because they're represented in the military too." No, it isn't. I just pointed out an exception to your statement. I made no claims that EMS should be paramilitary in that statement, either.

Here are a few song lyrics for you, to the tune of "Mr. Sandman".

Mr. Strawman, bring me a claim
Make it so far-fetched it won't have a name
Call it a red herring or even a plumber
Then tell me that autocracy is over.
Strawman, I'm so confused
Why do you think Fire/EMS is overused?
Please turn on your magic invention
Mr. Strawman, you didn't end the paramilitary convention

...with all due credit to Mr. Sandman lyricist Pat Ballard and artist,s the Chordettes(1954).
