Doctors Vs. Atheletes

Doctors all the way, doctors make diffrence's in peoples life's every single day save millions of lifes, help people to stop smoking, lots of stuff , an athlete is just not in the same catagory, theyre all for entertainment purposes and stuff doctors win!

 

You've hit the nail on the head. I don't think any further comment is necessary.

I suspect you of being a certain someone I have discussed capitalism with on the IRC. >_>

I heard a nice definition of intellectual a few months ago on the radio. It was "one who asked a question for every answer given". I suppose by that definition, I am an intellectual, making any pretense unnecessary.

As for the owl part, I am sorry to disappoint you, but owls have not yet achieved sentience.

I reply to these topics namely because I find it fun.

 

I agree, and it takes a lot more work and effort to become a doctor, while athletes just...excercies their bodys.

Almost evreyone could be a doctor if they put that time and effort in.
While you just need some talent to become athletes which is just luck

 

You are severely misinformed.
To say that elite athletes just need talent and just 'exercise their body's' is the same as saying to be a doctor you just have to be smart and study a bit.

You seem to be misinformed.
Elite athletes have to have a high level of skill and work extremely hard day in and day out [ 4 - 7 hours a day of intense training ]. Eating perfect meals that are picked out for them at certain times of the day.

Doctors have to be gifted intellectually and put in many many hours of study each day, plus spend allot of money to do the courses, Universities etc.


Also, it helps to read through the whole thread, soak in what other people have said, think about what you have read, think about what you are going to say, make sure no body else has said what you plan to say, use correct spelling and grammar.

Reading the first two posts and agreeing with a mod, using shitty grammar and spelling, repeating what other people have said, is not good enough for SFA.

 

Ever heard of medical school?

 

medical "school" well ever heard of college?

athletes go to college if they wanna make it in the pros. So don't whine about school. Athlertes have to have good grades to compete. We also have remmeber plays, think about what we are going to do in an instant. He drops his wait imediatley a wrestler or a football player is thinking tackle. Sports require intelligence to

ownage overdose:Elite athletes have to have a high level of skill and work extremely hard day in and day out [ 4 - 7 hours a day of intense training ]. Eating perfect meals that are picked out for them at certain times of the day.

that sounds extremely steriotypical. I am a huge athlete state champ in every sport i compete in and i dont train 4-7 days a a day. I eat what ever i like. You are thinking of the idiot guy who fails but is big and strong so he palys sports. Not all athletes are idiots. I have a 4.0 GPA.

 

i never said that atheletes are idiots. i never said they dont get good grades. i know that they have to have good grades to compete.

what im saying is that there is more of an importance for a doctor than an athelete.

 

yes there is but docters will not get paid more ever due to low plublicity, physical pressure, and exposer

 

Doctors are more of a necessity than athletes. Period.

 

ur on your wut. Anyway neccessity or not it doesnt matter. Yes docters are more needed but athletes shud and will always be paid more.

 

doctors save athletes lives hmm that sounds about right

 

why "shud" they always be paid more? because most of them have to pay for there steroids?

so you are telling me that there should not be doctors, because athelets are more important in your life?

If this is true, i hope you die from Dihrea, the common cold, etc.

 

Should they be paid more, I would have to disagree, a Doctor is someone who has a PhD, which can be obtained for nearly everything, is a computer science Dr. saving lives? No hes not, is a general practitioner saving lives, no hes not directly. Would we die of the cold without them, no, we have over the counter medicine, would we die of other diseases, no we would just have to see specialists. Surgeons I might agree with, perhaps they are saving lives, but most of the time, the person they save is a vegetable and can't contribute anything back to society or such a severe injury that they aren't fully contributing members of society again. However on the other side, athletes provide roll models (both good and bad) for kids to do something, rather than sit at their computer day after day playing games.

 

WOOT ANEX IS BALLIN!

lol annex basically summarized wut i was trying to say throught out this thread. Thanks

 

yes Annex but the people who make the drugs are basically doctors in a way, but there called pharmacists.

 

no they are pharmusutible companys that make the drugs and they are not surguons, specialists, or practitionare. They dont have a medical degree they are just scientists

BTW do u still need an mm

 

Although some athletes entertain, others do it for the accomplishments(i.e. runners) See, in entertainment sports like baseball and soccer, it is more for a game and fun, and for some the money. While in running, swimming, and other sports, it is more for competition and that feeling of success, whether that be winning or outdoing yourself.
The reason for this is because track and field athletes overall don't make nearly as much money as basketball or baseball athletes. Why? Well because no one wants to watch people run around in circles or swim up and donw a pool for entertainment. You want to see action, and people knocking the junk out of eachother.
Now for the answer. I believe doctors should. Not only because my dad is a docter,( ) But because he is helping people. Athletes entertain(for the most part) and doctors fix and help, although athletes need doctors too.

 

Hey, come on! Athletes are only paying doctors back!

Okay, well, Doctor Simmons, thanks for taking the antibiotics and steroids out of my body so that my life won't end! I'll just go back to sweating, taking more drugs, and making much, much more money than you! Bye! :]

*Sarcasm* ..

Come on ..
Doctors waste more of their life just to help people, while athletes are fast, or flexible, and only use up sometimes a year of their life .. The least that can change is that doctors get a bit more appreciation ..

You don't see doctors on TV every Sunday, do you .. ?
No.

It's a pathetic shame that athletes are paid more than doctors, but that's how it is .. until, ofcourse, it changes! :]

Alien

 

well i think atheletes should make more but most people think doctors hmmm idk..

 

Well, don't just say one thing or another .. At least explain your reason for choosing? :]
