My 2 cents is you shouldn't live off the GOV't tit. Get out there and better yourselves. You choose to be poor no one makes you poor.

Also they where running buses for 3 days before the storm hit. They couldn't get out but they could loot and rape and murder HMM

There but for the Grace of God go I...........just my $0.02 worth.

Wow Greenmeanie.....the "meanie" part of your name is perfectly fitting.....I'll pray that you never need someone's help one of these days.....oh that's right....I'm sure if you ever need help it will be a diferent story then.

Let me ask you something, what religion do you belong to?

First of all, people these days have zero survival skills.
The orders of failing responsibility in this disaster was initially upon the mayor of N.O., then the state government, THEN the federal government. This goes for the surrounding areas as well. The city of N.O. had a plan in place but failed to execute that plan. While the federal government made some mistakes, I believe they should be the last on the list taking any sort of blame for relief or lack of it.

Simple math.....if you have 100,000,000 people that need jobs and you have 90,000,000 jobs you end up w/ 10,000,000 people with out jobs. these people tend to be poor...


Not everyone chooses to be poor, sometimes its just $hit Luck. There are plenty of poor people that would jump at the opportunity for a steady income for there families and would work there asses off too.


There are also plenty of Rich people s#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&g on the Government Tit and making tons of money that haven't done a hard days work in there entire life.

How many Ditches do you think ole' GB and his brother have dug in there lifetime??


Don't judge a man unless you've walked a mile in his shoes

i would be honored.. we would have to move the whitehouse to fishers island though, and homeland security would involve tagging the migrating striped insurgents which have passed by for the past million years

I don't consider this off topic but I was absolutely discusted by a scene on tonights news.

An old woman was defending what was left of her home and the edible food she had within it from people who smashed thru the front who happened to be California Highway Patrolmen "volunteers".She was holding a .22 revolver in her hand in a NON-THREATENING position.In a narration by the patrol commander he spoke about how they subdued her when the opportunity presented itself.He seemed so proud of himself for performing his unconstitutional duties.

News flash...if this woman wants stay(or die) in what's left her home with cans of Cambell's soup and a .22 she has 10 amendmants under the Bill of Rights that says she can!!!

One of the most unbelievable things I've ever scene.Totally unacceptable.

Flap,we might not agree on much but I believe Georgey Boy's gotta take personal responsability for this one.Violation of one's personal rights under the Bill of Rights will always be something I believe the President should personally address to this nation.

Did I spell discusted right?
