for every one dead one-hundred are born
That doesn't make it better you moron.
Didn't your mother teach you when you have nothing nice to say to not say anything at all?
There was a woman in VT, who was standing next to a swollen river and she fell in. My first thought is, why on earth, if there was a flood going on, would you go near the banks and watch the rushing water. The second thing I thought, was how incredibly sad this is for all of the folks who have lost homes, family possessions, family, friends, etc. Let us hope there is no more destruction to follow!!
I use my own name.
Do you?
"banasy" is not a name, it is a mere screenname. Get a clue already.
So sad. Money article says FEMA almost out of money. Doesn't it figure, the red states that complain about taxes, yet always take more than they pay in, use up theses funds year in and year out with their floods, and tornadoes. Now the states that provide the money need it and poof, it's gone. Thanks so much welfare states, while you're beefing and sending morons like Jim Demint to represent you did you ever stop to think that you are the problem. The data is easily available that shows blue states pay the bills red states (except Texas) take in way more than they pay. Again, you are the problem.
Hey banasy, how you doing today ?
I think it is so sad how some of these posters have no compassion whatsoever !! It could be that they have yet to experience any kind of loss in their own lives. When it finally does happen, I'm sure they're going to be the first ones looking for sympathy.
I also think Michele Bachmans attempt at humor was pretty crass.
@bobcat2u:
I agree totally.
I don't know, I'd rather be over-prepared than be caught unawares.
Obviously, the milk of human kindness dried up, if this blog is any indicator!
Michelle Bachman is a twit.
She's be right at home here!
@banasy
Geez !!! With all this bad news lately, it just gets hard to want to talk about these issues. Especially when all these obviously heartless people have to spew their venom.
We need some comic relief to get things lightened up. I mean, when I don't feel like cracking a joke or two, that's really sad.
Now let's be honest... You trolled me first.. I only trolled a troll. If you know who I am then you wont mind me telling everyone how you gave me the clap?.. Believe me not ever seeing you would be a blessing. I guess I could get a beeejeer.. That's pretty safe..
A truly compassionate individual does not feel compelled to show a public face of sorrow each and every time something bad happens. It's the same with praying in public with a face askewed so that men will see it, it is just a show.
@My Troll: You're right.. Boo hoo.. Sniffle sniffle.. Remember Powder when Eddie Vedder stomped powder in the mud? The mud was my vergyna and powder was your pp.. Sniffle sniffle cry cry.. Crocodile tears.. Wahhhhhhhh... So tragic!...... Oh yeah and I call black people Zambonis.. Cuz they go out before all the white guys get a chance to score.. tee hee.. Don't ever contact me again Troll!.. hahaha.. Mad Hatter... cuckoo cuckoo..
@Truly:
True.
However, it's a nice balance to see this once in a while in the midst of thread-hijacking and vitriolic hatred.
Wow.
WTH?
You can always count on any article dealing with death and destruction to attract the sickest of the sick and the meanest of the mean spirited. Come to think of it, so does every other article. Never mind.
AzHitman I dont like to wish BAD on normal people,but morons and ass wipes I normanly do wish bad things. So , my wish for you is to have a CVA, Sinkable episode, ect...that will shut you the hell up. Look it up in a EMS journal.
