Everyone is a fucking HERO these days!

The word "HERO" gets thrown around more than a drunken white girl at a Omega Psi Phi frat party. Everyone is a fucking hero these days. That word has lost all meaning to me at this point.

A guy whose regular job is working 12 hours a day making $10 an hour as a mechanic's assistant, on his way home hears the screams of children coming from a house completely engulfed in flames. He runs in and rescues three children - never taking consideration for his own life or safety. That's the true definition of being heroic, therefore he is a HERO. A firefighter who trains for situations like this, getting paid $70k a year, shows up and puts out the fire with a bunch of high tech equipment? Nope, that's not heroic. That's doing his damn job.

That cop that was mortally wounded in Fargo, they're calling him a hero. For what? What exactly did he do that was so heroic? Put on a uniform? Wore a badge? Carried a gun? Arrested bad people? He was doing his fucking job, what he was getting paid to do. A career choice is not heroic. Actions are heroic, jobs are not.

Everyone in the military is NOT a hero. A portion larger than most of us want to believe, are actually uneducated cowards. Just because a person puts on a military uniform doesn't automatically brand them a HERO. They passed their ASVAB, got through basic training, and tech school. No where in my universe does that automatically make someone a hero. Once again, it's a person's actions that are heroic, not positions or the uniforms they wear.

We have lost our way and simply labeling entire groups as heroes based on the action of a few. It's disgusting, and borderline idolatry. Not to be confused with idiocy, which we all surpassed years ago.

The worst is when someone uses that in reference to Caitlyn Jenner.

He / she is about as much a hero as Charlie Sheen is for beating AIDS.

That creature is not only an insult to men but also REAL women.

Fact is that he is an insult to the entire human race.

President Obama taught me that single moms, teachers, and construction workers are the heroes of America. Also, that bankers, business men, and rich people are greedy scum and should be destroyed.

I have a friend of mine who is a fireman.... If that's not enough, he's a fucking fireman in Stocking, California..... I don't care what anyone thinks, but his job is to run into a burning house and save people.

That alone makes him a hero in my eyes.

Based on your logic, anyone who has a job which puts them in harm's way should be considered a hero. They knew the risks when they signed up, but they're still heroes in your eyes?

If that's the case, why don't we ever hear about the Hero Timber Workers? Hero Structural Steel Workers? Heroic Garbage Men? Power Line Working Heroes? Super Hero Truck Drivers? Farm Workers? Construction Workers? And lets not forget about those ever so heroic Roofers!?!?! Every job I just listed has a higher mortality rate (and most have less pay) than firefighters, police, and in most cases, the military ---- DURING WAR.

To put things into perspective, 150 U.S. workers die every day. 130 cops died in ALL OF 2015. 83 firefighters died in 2015, and a majority of them were volunteer firefighters. It's media brainwashing. Authority Figure = Hero = We idolize them = We obey them.

Someone who cuts down a tree for corporate America isn't a hero.

Someone who is willing to run into a stranger's house when it's on fire to save the life of someone they've never me IS a hero.

True heroes don't require $100k salary, full benefit plan and lucrative retirement package as compensation for their 'heroics'.

Wax on/wax off that fire engine, hero.
