I completely trust politicians. I place my trust in them to lie, cheat, take back promises.....I don't know why people would not trust them  

The three professions I distrust the most are:

1) Lawyers

2) Gun lobbyists (is this even a profession??)

3) Dr. Laura

No offence taken. I posted this and I figured that there might be some people out there who would list the Police. Thats Okay by me. We are not above critism and Lord knows there are bad cops out there. Your opinions may be based on your own experience with the Police or what takes place in your city.

If I had a thin skin about critism of my profession I would have left a long time ago.

I am just glad that so many so far have listed lawyers. Makes my heart lighter.

1. Sales (telemarketers, straight commission salespeople)

2. Lawyers (Who's side are they really on?)

3. Teller's at Bank of America (They have gone way down hill since the merger with NationsBank. I pulled out and went to a friendlier bank that apprieciates me.)

Lawyers is an obvious start, as a generalization. Politicians are predictable, but not trustworthy. Also, what about stock brokers? I can't say that all of their recommendations are the best, sometimes simply buy/sell to get commissions, sometimes out promoting a company despite a conflict of interests...

I won't mention those two most "liked" category (p..., l...)

1.) Shrinks - everibody is psycho for them,
ask ten different shrinks about the same case - ten different answers

2.) Advertising agents - telling lies is in their job description

3.) Pro Soldiers - an ordinary gang of killers, except it is legal

Doctors: I've worked for them before and some of the things they do behind the scenes (ie. how they make their decisions) is pretty scary.

University professors: Promises, promises. They break them all the time.

Career Councellers: They get paid to bullshit. They don't know what the fuck their talking about most of the time.

1. Telemarketers (Interwood, STARWarnaco etc.)
2. Most Polititians (I only like one of the people in the Hong Kong Legistlative Council who quit because no one listens to her environmental policies (which are urgently needed) and other stuff good for people in HK. She says she can do more OUTSIDE Legco rather than inside.)
3. The current Chief Executive of HK. He is no good and only our protests keeps him from straying too far off our needs. Gets paid BS as well.

The five least-trusted people in my book.

Politicians (Promise? There's no such thing among them!)

Lawyers (ever wonder why rich criminals get off easy?)

Shrinks (they try to run your life - I'm not kidding!)

Salespeople (they're experts at ripping you off)

Anybody else who tries to do things behind my back and even try to scapegoat me. I do not tolerate such people!
