In the middest of the chaos and despair, that is in the City of New Orleans, there have been people waiting for at least three days for food and water. The media has been squawking the loudest about the slowness of the food convoys. When a truckload of MREs (Meals Ready to Eat) finally arrived in to help feed the masses, that have not had any food or water; you would think that these people would be grateful.
That seems to be not the case in the eyes of some people. Yes, that is right, there are some people that have refused to have anything to do with the MREs. A case in point, a woman that was hollering the loudest about not having anything to eat, was handed an MRE and refused it. The reason? It had not been heated.
Well sister, I hope that you can live for a few more days. It is going to quite awhile before there is any way to serve up any hot meals. The only way that there might be any hot food, is if you build a campfire and cook food that way. I doubt that you would be able to find any food to cook over a campfire anyway, as the government won’t there to hand out the food to cook or to make the fire for you.
If our troops in the field in Iraq and Afghanistan can gain weight by eating MREs, surely you can subsist on these for a few days. The same troops that are subsisting on these MREs and have been for the last 2.5 years, seem to take it all in stride as a part of doing business.
You're right ... they should airlift a Girl Scout in to start the fire for her.
Did she really say "Crackers, that ain't food?"
Exactly. Unfortunately, the sense of overwhelming entitlement seems to be clouding her judgement. But, as you said, when she gets hungry enough she might figure it out. Isn't it amazing that almost anybody else in any other country on the planet in similar circumstances would be grateful for food in the tummy. This is a case of too many people having been convinced by liberals and poverty pimps that someone owes them something just because they have been poor or some such excuse.
"Where did you hear this? Do you have a source?"
I saw it on Fox, CNN, or MSNBC last night. (I was switching channels.) She was a healthy looking 40ish year old. She look rested and clean. The interviewer actually let this woman complain for a full five or so minutes. She was, I believe, in the Superdome, complaining that the MRE's "were NOT heated," and "they weren't served a hot meal since they arrived at the Superdome."
I could not believe what I was hearing!
She was interviewed and shown on Fox news and other networks.
What a crude racist ignorant thing to say!
"Where did you hear this? Do you have a source?"
I don't know where their source is but I saw (probably the same) a woman on the news saying just what was quoted...LIVE , on Fox News
It might put off novice, and first time volunteers, but those who do this often are aware of idiots like this woman. They'll continue to assist in spite of ingrates like her.
Are you kidding? What does she want me to take her out to Spago. She needs to take the MRE and like it....the dumb witch....
Back to DU with you.
That's way over the line.
a'int the most appealing thought to some, I guess- but it will get you a hot meal.
If they're still packed the same way, there's a cardboard, "band," that goes around the box that cute kid is sleeping it. It makes a half decent toilet seat, uh...in a pinch.
I saw this lady say this. Really pi$$ed me off. A leader from the black caucus said infants were starving. Why not breast feed?????? If I'm not mistaken, even a infant sucking can become soothed AND start the production of mother's milk again. Is this not true?
you and your kind are the scum of the earth
Oh I understand but I level most of the blame on people like Jessie Jackson and Al Sharpton for teaching the people that attitude.
The people have learned thyat if they don't get what they want when they want it, somebody is ripping them off. The inner cities are a mess but with a little luck the people will learn something by being uprooted and sent to live elswhere.
Pfft!
This is the same kind of person that is buying ben and jerrys with foodstamps. I shocked...shocked I tell you.
We need all the help we can get, without putting off anyone. I am sick and tired of negativity, blame and fingerpointing.
You didn't post it, my gripe is with the poster that did.
This stupid B!TCH sould have read the directions(O I forget She was prob PUBLIK SCHOOL educated) you heat these up by a little a 1/2 cup of water and 2 minutes later walla, HOT FOOD!
