I hope studies will be done comparing cities hit in the Asian Tsunami with NO one of these days (the aftermaths).

Maybe it's just a case of fat, priveleged Americans getting a rude wake-up call.

See and thats not my experience -- I grew up in the poorest province in Canada yet college was available to everyone. There were enough loans and grants to get you through.

I worked part-time pretty much every year so I don't have a lot of patience for the can't afford it argument here in Canada. The US with those sky high tuitions is different

Put an end to popups!

Being cranky is hardly an excuse for some of the behavoir exhibited by some of these folks. There have been several reports of rapes of young girls in shelters and beating and stealing from the elderly. I have also heard reports of some of these folks geting mad and throwing things at the workers handling the voucher request. One guy tackled the guy who worked his deal, he got mad cause his card was only 1500 rather then the max of 2000, how ridciulous is that? I dont think anybody working in a shleter is asking for an heart whelmed thank you however I dont think the expected to be abused either. As for the fried chicken comment I am sure it wasnt meant as a racist thing, for crying out loud some folks dont even realize that chicken can be bought in large portions to feed a lot of people and not cost a whole lot. The whole group is not bad but i am sure there are a few folks in there acting out. This disaster shouldnt result in an excuse to act like an animal. I am not saying yeah these folks should bend over to show thanks they have enough to worry about, I am saying some shouldnt act bad tho.

Makes sense to me Since the name of the state is texas. Would find it rather disturbing if we were called californians being that we live in texas.

chick fil a > popeyes > KFC

No Chick-fil-as south of Arkadelphia so one must settle for Popeyes...which is still pretty good but between it and KFC it really doesn't matter for me

I think we should airlift fried chicken to the Astrodome

If I have offended anbody, well I am sorry.

Second thought.........Don't wanna hear it then ya'll can kiss my azz

I don't know what planet ya'll live on?
Instead of watching re-runs of "The Cosby show", "Star Trek" and "Leave it to Beaver" should know that the real world is not like this.

Wishes don't come true and prayers are not allways answered.

Racism exists along with just plain mean azz folks.
In a situation as tragic as this there is no place for this type of carrying on and acting foolish.

I am here in the middle of what is going on.
Who are any of you to tell me how I might be missinterperting what I am hearing.

Get off your azz and come down here to see for yourself if any of you don't believe in what I am saying.
If not then keep your missinformed azz where you are and go back to living in T.V. land.




oh,
BTW

The donated shoes were for the kids to have when they go to school

If it had happened in a country where blacks had kept whites for slaves for hundreds of years, and where whites were disproportionately poorer than other groups? Yeah, I would.

Sounds like a double standard to me.

My people have been slaves longer than blacks.
I would bury my head in shame to use this as an excuse to justify this type of behavior.
