I watched it for a bit this morning...I was amazed at how many people had decided to ignore the evacuation..I figured everybody would have gone running I know I would have :scared:

Just because I have exposed all those shameless, hollow infidels who ease their own shallow conscience by posting a throwaway tribute message onto a web forum - avoiding all the hard physical contributions necessary to carry out a relief effort - is no reason for you to get pissy.
Go back to the raindrops on roses in your cyber-pub and leave the no-BS "telling it like it is" attitude to a genuine person.

And you are such a *genuine* person that when you first posted here you claimed you were moving to Texas via a K visa and then subsequently claimed that you moved to NJ via a company transfer ... you don't sound all that genuine to me.
You claim not to have multiple identities, and yet 'Warrior Life' seems to have two identities? I note you have now changed your profile!
You can carry on with your version of 'telling it like it is' ... but, perhaps you would be kind enough to leave out the 'genuine person' crap.

Once again, if my house and family were lost, and some dick told me "his heart went out to me" from his safe, warm house in New Mexico, you can bet I would be offended.
I bet you lot also cried over Diana's death didn't you? A woman you never knew, a person you never met. Yet I bet you all watched the funeral on TV, shedding crocodile tears and immersing yourself in fake self-gratifying grief.
The best part of all is how not one of you has been able to refute my comments and so resort to safety measures like "Oh God its him again" and "Go away troll". I am the truth and the reflection of your rotten souls...deal with it. You can't argue because you know it's true, so you resort to petty insults. Shame.

And here we were doing so nicely. Ok, I take it you're just here to make more and more friends. I don't have the time to play right now....well maybe for a few minutes. But, as in the last thread you posted, it gets boring, faster and faster.

As for genuine person...thanks for taking the time to research me repeatedly. Since when is it unthinkable to move locations through business?

) so if everyone donates $20 guess what? that's a load of money for the Red Cross etc to work with...face facts these hurricane victims need supplies..simple supplies like food and water......what do you suggest we do..got any bright ideas?...come on out with it.....hello?? ...are ..you.. still ...there?..cat got your tongue?.... the National guard has repeatedly told people to stay away from the devastated areas and let them get on with their job so don't go and suggest we traipse down there to physically help.......your posts are about as helpful as the pointless ones YOU mention only yours are heartless and far more irritating

Messages 52 - 56 evidently reveal the depth of discussion and intelligence that belies this forum. You are obviously incapable of answering the original points I addressed in a thoughtful manner, so you (as usual) compensate with pathetic jokes, ill attempts at humor, and poorly executed schoolyard taunts.
Concentrate on the root post topic and we can all enjoy a richly rewarding discussion....or continue to act like dickheads...it's your choice.
