That seems to be the way alot of the younger americans are, if you buy them a pair of blue jeans they ask why you didnt buy them designer blue jeans.
They were doing interviews from the astrodome asking the people there about the conditions there. This girl that is being interviewed said that all they have here is sandwhiches to eat , she said " I'm tired of sandwhiches, they need to get us some real food here"
you give them food , water, shelter and they will still bitch

Leave it to the "media" to highlight the complaints, and the exceptions to the norm. It is just the way they do program content for news. Might be nice to hear the compliments & remarks from those who are grateful, and I believe that there are many.
These people would bitch no matter what you did for them or gave them.
And I suppose in their current predictament they should be thinking all sunshine and flowers? Give me a break, the media is highlighting this because they know it causes controversy...and guys like you feed on it.
me75006 congratulations, you hit the nail right on the head.
Let's see, we are gonna stick too many people inside of a large round container, leave them in there too long, and create some atmospheric distubance outside the container to frighten them and then see the results.
1. After awhile basic human behavior will happen.
2. Health conditions will deteriorate when the plumbing breaks down and waste piles up.
3. The longer the period of idleness the more agitated the subjects become.
4. Once removed from the experiment subjects will first remember the bad experiences and will tend to foucs primarily on those.
5. The same results happen with any race of people.
6. The subjects are very hesistant to repeat the experiment and more willing to evacuate prior to disasters.
I've said it before, if a dirty bomb explodes in a major city and radiation fallout is immense, we are in a world of shit if NO is an example. I hope those in charge are taking notes about the problems generated by hurricanes and their aftermath cause there may be a lot of similarities.
It's gonna be WW3 in their before too long.

You know, this pisses me off. You guys need to show some compassion. How would you fare under the conditions? Their lives have changed and they have little control over it. Can you imagine trying to sleep in there. Who's gonna wash their clothes? Who's gonna educate their kids? They've lost everything but the clothes on their backs, and you guys are hammering them
That's all I can say. I'm speechless. Give these people a break.
Shame on you
I do have compassion. I think the whole aftermath of this disaster is appalling. That don't mean I have to sit and cry about their suffering all day.
I just heard last nite that those waiting for extraction from the dome:
Could not leave their place in line or they would lose it so:
They urinated where they stood (for hours and hours into days)
One man, stayed in line while his sister (?) had a miscarriage. He wouldn't leave and let others attend her.
I wasn't there, I don't know the truth of the stories I hear, but I do know that disasters bring out the worst and the best in people. Given the chance, we as human beings find out that deep inside of us is something we don't always want to see.
Many stories will come out of this disaster, not all pretty. But there will be a common thread in them.
I have compassion for the relief workers, the Armed Services, and the officials who will be constantly criticized for some mistakes. They will get my compassion also because they did perform one hell of an effort within five days. How many did it take to mobilize what we saw in day five?
Compassion for a woman crying about milk for her baby? She looked like she was barely 30 and had five kids under 8 years old. No compassion there. She should have been neutered after the second one.

Well said? Would it make a difference if this person was white? Middle or upper class? And had five kids? What if she was a lawyer? A doctor? What difference does it make that she was barely 30 and had 5 kids? Here and now, what difference does it make?Originally posted by pjs

Maybe she was perfectly able to support these kids before she lost everything. Or are you assuming she was a welfare mom? People like you and I are in that Astrodome too. People that had good jobs - and 5 kids. And now they have nothing.
Katrina didn't know class. Everyone in its path was affected.
My compassion doesn't know race, religion or class.
righhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhht you live in a dream world keep your blinders on
Yup, New Orleans and Biloxi were welfare cities. Everyone in the shelters was on welfare and is black. Cause we all know they're lazy, uneducated and just plain good-for-nothing. How's that?
I could not beleive that they showed video of rescue workers loading and unloading supplies and people on and off the transports.With groups of able people(males 15to50 years old) just standing around bitching about where is this and where is that??.How can you accept help if you are not willing to help yourself..I would have been walking the hell out of there somehow--not sitting around waitng on a ride.Because if a bus can get to you then you walk out..I know some people had special needs then let the resources be used on them ,and you walk the hell out of there.......
andserco
that's perfect and exactly how I see it.
Imagine if all the able body people got there asses outta there on Sunday. Yep walked if they had to a whole 10 miles then there would have only been a couple thousand people to rescue in that dome, that would have been a cake walk for the rescuers. Black white green lazy is lazy
Now they have to jepordize their lives, helping lazy stupid idiots who can't do anything for themselves.
well I dont know that EVERYONE is black or on welfare , but I know one guy that is white that is already getting sick of hearing how the white man is doing nothing for them , or how little the white man is doing for them .None of the people that have been displaced have refused any of the white mans money
The racial remarks from the Civic LEADERS of their community that ran off and left them behind are ridiculess
How much money has jessie or his brother al dumped into helping their brothers out
Here we are almost a week away and look at the number of people pointing fingers and blaming people for the mistakes that have been made
all of that blame and finger pointing isnt doing anything positive for anyone.
what has happened is tragic, and what is about to happen will become a bigger mess. there just arent enough 4 star hotels to put everyone in.
For the 1st time in my life I agree with comments from the Black Caucus. And me, a card carrying Republican.
If this was an earthquake in Beverly Hills or Newport, Rhode Island, the government would have been all over it.
It does make a diffrence if you and I have paid for these peoples exsistance (welfare tax dollars). They are so used to the government doing everything for them. The government is not responsible for the storm. They should not complain when they get help the should do as much as they can to make the best out of a bad situation. They did not leave when instructed to do so ,and they did not prepair and now it is everyone eles fault?

If she were a lawyer or doctor she could afford those kids.......the government has been paying for her
