what these same residents had daone to their own city

You know, there's a word for people who look at someone's outsides and think they know their insides.

But I won't use it.

What I will point out is that it's illogical -- you can't tell by looking at someone that they're a criminal -- just because they come from New Orleans doesn't make them criminals. Even if they are poor, black, and on foot.

Cute.

Truly.

I am not talking about looking at someone's outsides and thinking you can tell what's in their heart. Not possible.

Apparantly though, you would have taken these folks into your town, and "aw, shucks too bad if they destroy the place?"

Sorry, I say given what they did to New Orleans, I would've blocked the road too.

And it's not a racial issue, it's a Law and Order issue. I'd feel the same way no matter what color the majority of residents of NOLA were.

Sure you can, they're the ones on crutches, wheelchairs, the women and children and the group of tourists.

For a site that yaps as much as this one about religious values, these threads are laughable. Which faith is it that values property above the stranger, orphan and widow, I forget.
