Not The Sharpest Knives In The LA Drawer

[dilloduck]

Deal with the aftermath of what you start.

Dismissed yet again.

 

[nosarcasm]

true, still its part of society we help out people that messed up.

To condemn them to death because of poor judgement is not
how I d like our society to be.

If you are struck by some natural catastrophe, I ll do my part
to save your butt.

I worked in flood rescue in my hometown where I came face to face
with people that ignored evacuation notices.

Our floodings were yearly, so even less excuses, still for whatever
reasons some fall back to my home is my castle attitude.

Hopefullly when I am stuck in a bad situation they ll return the favor
and save me.

More to the point, hopefully you'll heed the warnings to get the hell out instead of sitting on your ass expecting someone ELSE to drop what they're doing and save it. If you absolutely can't get out, that's one thing. Refusal to exercise common sense is entirely another.

Agreed---hopefully we can all find a little compassion for those who screwed up or just couldnt get the hell out. I just have a problem with rescuing them over and over again only to hear them complain about how it was done.
Bitching about how you were saved helped is asking to not be helped the next time.

 

[nosarcasm]

I give them some slack on the bitching, I faced it myself, but its human.

Your house is flooded , all your priced possessions and pictures are gone.

Your car is ruined, you lost pretty much everything. Depending on the severity
of the situation (in the case of Germany where flooding happen during winter)
you froze your butt off on the top of your house.

You are miserable and depressed. Most are happy when they
are rescued some lost it and are pissed and angry with the world.

Its the same everywhere, I wouldnt hold it against them. Desperation
doesnt help with logical thinking.

I worked as a voluntary firefighter. I have seen people lost their children
to fire that they caused by smoking in bed. They are devasted by
their own actions and the guilt. Does that mean we let em burn in their
house . no.

I developed more compassion in all of this. Yeah they are at fault
but it was not their intent to do this shit. They are not criminals
that did it intentionally, and thats where I see the difference.

If you murder someone in cold blood dont expect my compassion.
You make a grave mistake, well when you see their guilt
it is different.

Its hard to desribe. The worst case is when children are killed.
Most be some evolutionary thing, but even our veterans
of 30 years are emotionally all messed up after these cases.

Desperation does tend to bring out parts of people we never see but people who have faced the same desperation and can come out of it being grateful and thanking everyone who helped them have a quality and strength about them that I admire.

Nosarcasm, are you totally unaware that the game of politics has entered into this national tragedy, almost from the first day? I like your perspective on things, but in America politics enters every issue and befogs common sense approaches and compassionate thinking.

Despite the number of helicopters, National
Guardsmen, and Willy Wonka Hurricane Suppression Balloons we have
posession of, the real blame for the loss of life isn't on the
President, OR the Government, but the people of New Orleans itself.

These dumbasses have known forever this was going to happen eventually.
They had days worth of notice, and made no effort to move themselves
despite a mandatory evacuation being applied.

Busses were deployed to help the handicap to "safe" locations within the
city well ahead of time, and civilian resources helped move people.

It takes a class-a jackass to not get themselves to safety by their own
power, not accept an offer to be bussed to a safer location, then turn
around and bitch because the US Army, whose resources are assigned to
other tasks, didn't drop a helicopter on their front yard. And why
would you think they'd accept that ride anyways when they've passed on
every other option?

Hell, the National Guard practically has to force the remaining stragglers in the city to leave. They're so dumb they think all that water is just going to disappear overnight. They not only have no food, water, transportation, job, etc.--they have no brains, their most serious handicap!! Now while the libs are shooting off their mouths saying Bush failed them, let them not forget that the public school system failed them too. A cruel reminder of Bush's stand on education.

I'm wondering how many are refusing to leave becasue their homes are filled with drugs, guns and things they have stolen.

Really, gotta stay and protect that stolen property so no one steals it.

Oh the mind of crooks...LOL

hmmm lets see---if I can just hang here long enough I'll be RICH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL----I worked hard getting all this crap and I'll be damned if the government is going come in here and take it!.

I wonder how many stayed with the intent of looting? It's an horrible thought, but it's possible.

you sure have to wonder what in the hell would motivate a person to stay in that hell. I imagine that some of them are just plain mentally overwhelmed.

I am quite aware but I give neither side free passes. Political responsibility.
At least you should try to find out went wrong of if anything went wrong.
I was for the removal of Clinton from office after he lied to the
grandjury. The coverup in that case was worse then the infedility.

In this case I doubt Bush has anything for fear except that some
of his appointees mismanaged. But if there was mismanagement
I d assume you would like to see those people fired. Same for the
state and local level.

Why there are always people you have to drag out of their houses
its hard to comprehend. It happens everywhere. To assume
those remaining are all criminals is disingenious though.


Thats the Dems will go headhunting is an unfortunate effect
of the strong partisanship. To suspend any political responsibilty
because of it seems like a bad solution to me.
