Don't flame me, but
Edited on Wed Sep-07-05 10:22 AM by LostinVA
Can you believe how those people left New Orleans? Leaving their houses all covered with water and dead besides in the street? How could they do that? I can't understand it. I know I couldn't do that...

Sorry, just had to lighten the GD mood!:sarcasm:

4. It's a joke
From the earlier "Don't flame me thread." Sorry -- I thought people would get it. As my niece says, "My bad."

5. I believe so
Look around the first page or two of GD and you'll see a thread about the "don't flame me but" threads. :rofl:

3. Mandatory evacuations...
did they have a choice? A better question, IMO, would be "How could the President leave all of those dead in the street?"

Peace.

8. Thanks! I was one who got REALLY upset
at the earlier flamebait post, so thought I'd post something really outrageous to show how nutty people are... guess people have been saying such nutty things, it didn't seem like satire!

9. You are so right...
...how could people just leave their homes like that?

Whenever I go somewhere, I always ALWAYS, sweep off my porch, lock my doors and kennel my dog. I make sure the dead bodies are out of sight, I -at the very least-make sure there are no holes in my roof.

I don't see how people could stand having all that dirty water on their floors.

12. Gee whiz, me too! no matter what!
I'd do it all differently! I'd be awaiting a helicopter rescue with pie for everyone and nice clean clothes. I'd have the neighborhood organized into a quilting bee while others "scrapbooked" about our "adventure!"

I don't know how I'd do it---but "somehow I'd figure out a way!"

(the last quote is one I hear too often this week---everyone high and dry and possessing credit cards just *knows* they'd "figure out a way!")

my head is going to explode...

If you want to make copycat threads, please do so in the lounge!
