Nobody’s “silly, smug” and “stupid” and “childish”— except maybe your projections. You have my sympathies that you are conservative surrounded by Communists, but that doesn’t mean you should call FReepers names.
Those who were “silly” and “stupid” were those who failed to prepare, then whine to Big Brother/Sister. I’ve never seen such a batch of sniveling ninnies with their hands out to the police-nanny state.
I grew up in earthquake country - where we had zero warning, other than perhaps pets acting up. The Loma Prieta 1989 earthquake got a part of San Francisco. Anyone who lived there knew they were taking a risk -— that the neighborhood was built on a landfill. Tradeoffs in life meant that many continued to live there, knowing full well what could happen. Even in that (albeit back then, not as much) liberal city, there wasn’t such an outcry. People picked themselves up, dusted themselves off, and started all over.
Thanks to the whiners with their hands out, we will have even more surveillance and nanny-dom. FEMA — which isn’t about helping people at all — will become even more powerful. The conservative states can thank those snivelers in the future.
FEMA........proven worthless & still BUSH FAULT!!!!!!! rofl
DID you heard something about $10M that was sent to NJ or NY, and it dissappeared, there was a thread up yesterday about that.
Well, SILLY me, I thought that money was supposed to go where the people NEEDED it, but I hate to be so SMUG about that. Sitting here in my RED STATE, you know!
Yep. elections and choices have consequences alright, that money just up and made itself disappear, must be in the trunk of some car along with some ballots.
The money went bye-bye........POOF!
I agree. I am sorry for the name-calling, too. I interpreted the statement to refer to everyone living in a blue state -- a common refrain from some here.
Must.remain.civil.
Awww, thank you, well, I understand — too often, every Arizonan gets blamed for sic’ing (sp?) McCommie on the nation and continuing to vote for him... Meanwhile, I never run into anyone who admits voting for him. (Although apparently he does have a massive base of support up north and people who know nothing about him voting for name recognition.) Anyway, I digress...
