If you find it in your heart

[Robert A Whit]

If you wish to discuss how badly Bush screwed up Katrina, I wish you would do it outside the lounge. This is not a place to argue about incompetency.

Maybe you should take into account that I don't as of this instant understand all the rules you guys claim to follow.

Bush did not screw up anything. Clearly some of you don't understand either FEMA or the rules the Feds set up to get FEMA in operation.

Remember, the only state that whined was LA. The rest of the states were happy with what Bush did for them.

drove 10 miles to steal someones internet signal. power popped on about 5pm and died again 10 minutes later, they say it may be later tonight, up till 7-10 daya before we get power. House is inundated with crap and I'm bored senseless with no power. Entire town looks like a major war zone. Very depressing. I grew up going to Jersey Shore, mostly Seaside Heights. I hear the boardwalk went out to shore and all is gone. This royally sucks. Can barely make cell calls either as they keep dropping or phone switches to emergency calls only.

Battery dying on laptop and can't charge. I did see some well wishes and thanks to one and all. Will pop back on if I can find a way to charge or get back on, cell won't let me anymore.

Hope everyone else is doing well!!!

Here's my free speech 2 cents worth, Robert. Please shut up about free speech in this thread.

I speak to the intelligent. Sorry you don't include yourself. Next time you tell me to shut up, just don't hit send.

Yes. I would advise that he be ignored. But some might not want to ignore said poster. I note on other threads where he is currently posting that he appears to support our side of things.

Forgive me for being an advocate for the constitution and the bill of rights. I may be the odd ball here in that respect.

Well, Robert, I might suggest that you are free to experience your version of online utopia by starting your own board. Until then, you might as well get used to the fact that Jim runs his board (as I've said earlier) as his long time experience shows him is best. The fact that you continue page after page to press this issue, especially in light of all the people posting about being in harm's way, is disturbing.

Thank you Jim. Though I have not been here long, I feel like I know you quite a bit. Best to you and family.

[Abbey Marie]

Could a mod/admin please change title to NJ?

Sure thing.

[Kathianne]

Thank you and glad to see you here. Hope the home and family are good?

Many times I have thanked you Abbey.

Not this time. Sorry to see you trying to stir up trouble.

I scored a 1480 on my SATs, a 99% on my ASVAB, 80% on the advanced placement test for the Nuclear Field of the US Navy, the only place in the military with a higher drop rate than the Navy Seals. Speaking for the intelligent Shut up. You are trolling, however you care to BS yourself about it. This is not about free speech, it is about basic human respect, courtesy and dignity. Learn those things, then speak.

Second, you are an incredible hypocrite, decrying free speech while in the next breath attempting to destroy that very thing. That is the very essence of hypocrisy, and you need to quit showing it.

No one has "stirred up" trouble, save for yourself.... You know, we'll use a basic scientific principle, since that's what intelligent people do. The simplest explanation is most often true. Basically, it is either every single person around you... or it's you. By that principle, it's you.

Shit! I grew up going to that boardwalk. They had the BEST pizza.... granted, your arteries hardened just from the smell, but still. I've got family out that way, I'll have to check with mom and she if she's heard from them all.

First, there is a lot you don't know.
A. I had told Jimmy I am sorry yesterday.
B. I started him out with a compliment.
C. Some of you feel hell bent for leather to pick a fight.
D. I don't give one bat guano what you say.

I have not started a fight with anybody. But some of you sure are picking one with me.

Ask Jimmy wnat I told him in a private message before blowing off again.

Some of you duds need to learn peace and harmony.

Oh, you if you want to know why I told him I am sorry, it is not for what I did, it is because of the problems the man is having. I decided to take into account he must be under a lot of stress.

And yes, are you proud to represent him the way you do?

Guys like you really tick me off.

Time to move this discussion to the Cage, Mr. Whit. Please come down and let's not derail this thread any further.

[DragonStryk72]

First, there is a lot you don't know.
A. I had told Jimmy I am sorry yesterday. Which in no way absolves you of insinuating that Sassy is stupid.
B. I started him out with a compliment. Again, doesn't matter when you then go through and start insulting people left and right, like you do later in this very post.
C. Some of you feel hell bent for leather to pick a fight. No, but we do finish one when started. Just ask JWK or Wind Song... oh wait.
D. I don't give one bat guano what you say. A Blatant lie. If you didn't care, you wouldn't be responding.

I have not started a fight with anybody. But some of you sure are picking one with me. Again, no we aren't. We're trying to get you to stop being disrespectful and rude, and yes, when you go after someone like Sassy in the way that you did, prepare to hear about it. I have a strong dislike for bullies, even the pseudo-intellectual version on them.

Ask Jimmy wnat I told him in a private message before blowing off again. Can't, it's against board rules. What happens in PM, stays in PM, a policy I do agree with.

Some of you duds need to learn peace and harmony. You insult people while calling for harmony and peace? Do I even need to explain to you how hypocritical that is of you, or how much it works directly against your stated desire? You might as well have said, "All you motherfuckers and assholes need to stop swearing!"

Oh, you if you want to know why I told him I am sorry, it is not for what I did, it is because of the problems the man is having. I decided to take into account he must be under a lot of stress. Didn't ask, and WHY you're acting like you were never taught proper manners or respect is irrelevant to the point that you are acting in that manner.

And yes, are you proud to represent him the way you do? With honor and dignity? Yes, I am. Thanks for asking. I merely took you to task for your own actions in this thread, and did so without insulting you.

Guys like you really tick me off.

Good, I'm happy I do. I will always feel a sense of joy when someone acting like you have here is ticked off about being scolded for it, but again, you've put lie to your point about not caring. If you didn't care, you wouldn't post on this board, you wouldn't post in this thread, and you wouldn't have replied to me.
