I can see some people (who lack a moral compass) who would think the fire department did the right thing by sticking to the exact terms of deals. I don't agree, but morals aren't absolute.
But the people who cheer this? Or say "God Bless the people who watched and did nothing"? Those people are beyond pathetic, and very sad individuals. Very unfortunate.

For the record, if I passed an old lady getting mugged, I would help her. I would not shrug and say "well, I guess you feel stupid now for not employing a bodyguard".
Similarly I expect police officers to do their job even if a citizen isn't a taxpayer in that county. I expect hospitals to save the life of dying people on their doorstep. I expect firefighters to put out a ****ing fire they're standing on top of.
What I'm saying should resonate with any reasonably well-adjusted individual with an ounce of empathy."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

I would put out the fire if I was the fireman.
But the citizens of the county are being immoral because they don't pay for the fire department and yet seem to expect the fire department to do something when they need them. In effect they are stealing.
Another possibility besides not saving the home is to try to guilt them somehow. Or to, when they bill people in the county X, have the statement say 'you are being billed X for this county to have fire protection, if your neighbors agreed to pay their fare share, then you would only need to pay Y < X'.

To withhold the service completely is asinine and immoral. Yeah, the guy would feel like a douche for not paying the $25 fee or whatever it is and instead pays $25,000 for a one-time call, but that's his prerogative."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate.

Maybe they should show some compassion for their fellow man and stop trying to free-load off of the people in the city."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate.

2. Reading the previous thread, what does socialism have to do with offering a service for a fee? This reminds me of people who hate the government and services provided until they need the government and services provided.
3. This should read that people are mad when they can't get something for nothing.Life is not measured by the number of breaths you take, but by the moments that take your breath away.

You sign a contract saying you will pay by X date."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."
