Sad times of FR when people focus just on the negatives like looting and not the total loss of human life. No authority no law down there.
'When you dont have any money, a vehicle, or anywhere else to go. What are you supposed to do?'
Sad to know that im the only person that knows people that live like that.
Apparently there's no moral authority inside and in control of many of those people. And we are well aware of the loss of life down there. There's going to be even more loss of life, and the blood will be on the hands of the handwringing Enablers.
Diesel boy , your pomposity is iritating. I have been down and out, I worked my ass off to get a roof over my head. I WAS RAISED RIGHT!! I grew up in an old school Dem. family. My parents told me that the govt had to have safety nets for people who needed them and always added. " And thats not you!". We come from a great tradition summed up by this adage, "Too poor to paint, too proud to whitewash".
Who is causing some of those deaths? The crooks with guns. They all should be shot.
You just don't get it, do you? You've been refuted dozens of times on this thread, the truth is as plain as the nose on your face.
Get lost, OK?
Well fellow, I'm considered from the deep south, and have family in Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, and Louisiana. I also have family in Ohio, Michigan, Illinois, California, Texas, and New York. I have( unlike you)visited and spent time in all of these states. But believe me when I tell you that you are not alone in knowing people how live like that, and you can find them in other communities across the globe. They are not concentrated in the "DEEP SOUTH" as you may think. In fact there is a label for these type of folks in civil society: They are called Criminals.
SO trust me when I tell you that the Deep South is not like a "Third World Country", in relation to any other state in the Union, or anywhere in the world for that matter!
In fact, many of the movers and shakers in all of the Southern communities I have traveled, are every bit as sophisticated as any Northeastern Community or individual, I have ever had the the good fortune to meet.It is also equally true that the depraved Armonk Southerners(NOT POOR), are as equally depraved as those found anywhere in the Northern States.
The only difference between any class of Southerners, when compared to any other class of people in this nation are, that we in the South don't view others with the same "Ignorant, Elitist prejudice" in which they view us.
So I suspect that you have not been too well associated with the Southern culture. In fact it is clear that you most likely have never even been here.
I frankly believe that you have formed your opinion of the Southern culture from using the same old prejudicial assumptions that the North had of the South, of which, predates the Civil War.We in the South have always been aware of this condescending view of our culture,and your comments add evidence that this ancient attitude about Southerner still exists.
But no need to apologize. We poor ole back water hill billy's just shake our heads and accept the ignorance of those who are so puffed up with their pathetic little world view, and find their delusions of us rather comical.
