If thetruth made the kind of statements he makes about women, about black people (for instance) he would have been thrown off this forum long ago, and quite rightly. Yet, he's still here. Maybe we should have a thread on 'why'.

i could say the same with you about men..ignoring your cheap shot back to the issue....do you think its right to lower the standards in new York fire department to allow more women to become firefighters? thus risking lives ?

But surely that is something for America to address. Others have stated in this thread that they have very personal knowledge of the Fire Service and it doesn't happen in this country so isn't an issue here. With America being the litigious country that it is they must be happy that lives are not being overly put at risk otherwise the number of law suits would escalate and quickly

Exactly.


Truth, it's like you're constantly, actively seeking out these type of stories to try and beat women with sticks over. It's getting pretty tedious tbqh

WHAT!? They might as well be driving around in massive red penises!! I can see them now, hooting and hollering, waving the hoses between their legs and spraying them everywhere, brandishing their castration knives in the air...

the usual nonsense.....if you had a firewoman who had not passed the tests to the same standard failing to carry your relative from a burning building your sick jokes would soon be silenced by tragedy

You're actually talking about stuff that you no nothing about, a woman fire fighter who wasn't as physically strong as others in the team would not be given the job of carrying people out of a fire, don't be ridiculous and I can tell you most people including the male fire fighters would struggle to carry an unconscious person out of a fire

Kizzy 13-05-2015 08:50 PM

I've seen lot's of discrimination on this forum, this is tame compared to the abuse the average welfare claimant gets :idc:

Its impossible, I tried it in an exercise with 2 of us doing it, and in a smoke filled, dark room which is most fires - absolutely no chance

the ONLY people who will be discriminated against are the people who die in buring buildings because this woman was allowed to get into the fire service despite failing the tests.....i thought socialists were the more caring compassionate people? at least thats the self prising spin they tell us? yet if they are more caring why arent they more concerned with the people who die in burning buildings because of this politically correct positive discrimination nonsense that allows a person to fail the tests and get in just to keep feminists quiet?

Kizzy 15-05-2015 12:29 AM

Has anyone died due to this lady becoming a firefighter?

This refers to the USA, not to the UK, even if we wanted to, we are not in a position to change anything. I'm still not getting the relevance and see this thread only as an opportunity to put down women

You would have to actually drag the person out rather than carry them, tbh though the chances of actually pulling someone alive from a fire is slim anyway. It only takes a few inhalations of smoke to kill a person

Well they could make special training programs for women for the less physical jobs then they would'nt have to lower the standards of the guys that go in and do the tough stuff.Maybe womens driving,Tea making(:laugh:)and pump operating training along side the main training.I mean i can't see a 5ft 4" 8 stone woman carrying a 6ft plus bloke on her shoulder down a ladder.Imagine the disappointment when you're burning to death with a broken leg and a tiny woman who can't even pick you up comes to rescue you?

Seriously, you need to see the lady fire officers in the UK at least, they are amazing, and they do carry the same weight as the men

That's conjecture.

All you need to do is look at the author of this thread and you know the agenda.
