I think everyone should have tried to get out. I think a lot of people wanted to be "taken care of" instead of taking care of themselves (welfare, anyone?). There were evacuation procedures in place -- for everyone. MOST did not leave because they didn't want to. SOme saw their "opportunity" to rob and steal and loot and ..well you see what is happening.
It is a shame and sad and awful and so depressing ... human beings acting this way...what are you going to do with that huge tv you stole?? You don't have a home, electricity, nothing.... so you shoot at people trying to help???
I'm sorry , but what a heartless and ignorant statement. To compare staying in your home to the abuse of wellfare is a comparision I don't understand. I don't think that you can say that most of the people who stayed in their homes did so because they wanted to. Yes, there was limited transportation provided by the city government, but not enough for the entire city. A massive evacuation isn't as easy as they make it seem in the movies.
Yes, it is sad that times like these will bring out the worst in some people. To clump them all into that catagory is rash and IMO wrong.
Well-said Heidla. As many others have expressed in this thread, it is very easy for us to sit up here in our homes, with our air conditioners, computers and all the luxuries that we take for granted that many of these people have never and will never have - and pass judgement on others less fortunate. I wish the negative thoughts and energy so apparent in some of these posts could be turned into something positive, like HELPING these people!
I tend to agree...when I came on to LIF tonight, and the last day or two, Im shocked to see these threads get so many "hits" and responses, but my prayer thread and the donation threads got very little notice or responses...Is it really that we all care so deeply or love us some drama?
Maybe everyone should go spend some time donating a few bucks instead of arguing what could have happened..should have happened...would like to have happened and why it didnt...
Well really I would love to donate but I just dont have the money. Its funny how a lot of the hits and response to these threads are from you

Donna....stop telling people what they should or shouldn't do!
People are going to write, discuss and/or debate lots of things ....if that turns into 40 pages so be it....
But don't make anyone feel guilty about doing that instead of donating...
HOW the hell you do you if they donated or not!

So not getting involved with the drama but if you're serious about donating food and 'stuff', they said on the news that local army and national guard bases are accepting that, especially bottled water.

I agree with you Donna. Arguing about what could've/should've been done is not going to help anyone now.
What ways can we help?
Michal if you find out about the clothes let me know. I have some also!

Yes! People want to be "taken care of" when they are floating their spouses bodies down a flooded street. When they drown in their attics.
Taken care of....they didn't try to leave the area. Boy do I hate the icon...
so in how does this imply that they wanted to be "taken care of???"
Honestly...that is just IGNORANT OF YOU

Re: New Orleans and all the people who stayed...
In times like these I think that people are trying to comprehend the devestation. Topics like this are only an extension of that need. It in no way means that they are not helping in other ways.
As far as why this gets responses and charity threads don't, I take the info from those treads and utilize it. Action taken, no response is needed.

that's right heidla, well said again!
and i'm still trying to understand how several few get criticized for not 'responding' or 'helping', while someone else makes a comment about how the people who stayed, stayed in order to collect welfare afterwards, isn't? shouldn't that comment be dissected??
