Anyone else volunteering..Follow

Im going to the Astrodome this weekend and handing out applications to where I work at. I know these people have families to feed and I will be GOD FU[/u]CKING DAMNED if I'm going to sit on my *** eating cheetos and playing FFXI while my fellow Americans need to GET ER DONE!

Right, and whats the excuse for the women in labor during the hurricane and couldnt get out? I was listening to the radio where several babies were born during Katrina. But of course, the mothers, fathers, and newborns should have known not to go into labor at the time right?

Rapes aside, I want to know numbers for the amount of Superdome Babies we see in May

Ugh. While I may have a healthy sexual appetite, Im pretty sure I would NOT have been in the mood if I were one of the refugees.

Hey Nobby why dont you offer up your services and take charge down there? They might listen to a snapping British man with the love for the word cnut

On seeing the arrival of 'Volunteers' at a disaster zone




Mind you, Katie may be highly valued there. They may be short of hair-curlers, thrush ointment and tobacco papers?

Oh sure, not on Day Three when the toilets are overflowing, the lights are out and people are chewing one another's arms off for food. But I bet those first 24-48 hours were pretty long and boring. Plus you've got the whole "we might all die" factor tossed in there. You know SOMEONE was finding a secluded corner or stairwell.

Well, my brother-in-law (the one I've complained about in other threads) has volunteer his services and is leaving in a few days to go to New Orleans. The way I understand it is that he's getting room, board, food and a daily stipend/per diem. Not sure if it's a good idea that he's going to help as he's refused to help himself as he's out of money, out of a job (supposedly on workman's comp) and is about to lose his apartment.

I don't know if it was an altruistic motive on his part. But maybe by him seeing that there are thousands of people that have lost everything in the blink of an eye, he'll realize that he's luckier than most and get his own life back together.

Fu[/b]ck the government. I donated, and I'll be heading down to the local city hall tonight to see what else I can do. Load trucks, gather canned foods, gather donations door to door, whatever the fu[b]ck I gotta do to help.

This is bullsh[/b]it that everyone has sat on their fu[b]cking thumbs while people are down there starving, killing each other for food or worse.

I'll try to do what little I can; I just hope I can do something.

Edit: Yea, thank you captain-fu[/b]cking-obvious. I realize that they are not accepting food and clothes, but their has to be SOMETHING I can do. I won't be as belittling as your hypocritical *** is, I will at least TRY to do something. Instead of trash like you, sitting on your *** telling everyone "they don't need our help, it's the governments' fault their not getting help"

Fu[b]ck your shi[b][/b]tty self-absorbed attitude. Just cuz the gov screwed the pooch on this one doesn't mean I should show them that humanity will too.

I understand that they don't need more people hampering the collective effort down there, but I intentionally meant efforts to support from here where I am. Like most of us, I can't drop everything and just go down there, but I can dedicate time and money here. I dropped a donation already, and plan to do so every check for quite some time now.

But, there has to be something more. Collecting money from people door to door, making sure to donate canned goods? I dunno. You hit the nail on the head though, I feel so painfully helpless.

Yea, the government really fuc[/b]ked this one over badly. But that only serves to give the people a chance to rise up above the pettiness and stupidity of our leaders. A chance to say "you stupid bas[b]tards don't care, but we do"
/stops channeling shadowrelm

How..? That, I really wish I knew.

edit: ya know, if I actually read your post fully, I'd know how now that I've thought about it more then 5 seconds.
So, whats it take to run for Illinois state representative?

....Deep pockets, probally.....

Your missing the point. I know my country has billions, I know we have the food. Yet people are starving. I understand that I should vote and elect different leaders that have the people in their hearts when they step into office.

But what fu[/b]cking good does that do the people starving right now? I'm sure their be happy to hear I'm voting in the next elections to change the course of actions for disaster recovery. I'm sure that will help so many there right now that are starving, poor, thirsty, cold, and dieing.

I can get my money ot the red cross, I can spare a few more dollars to the salvation army. I can donate food and clothing (even thgouth it might not reach them RIGHT away), water, and what ever else I have down to the clothes on my back, I can shove all this sh[b]it right in the governments' fu[b][/b]cking face becuase they COULD have, but I did.

That the difference Nobby, they could have done alot to save lives, but I DID.

And I will continue to do more then my own government, because apathy for the current situation will only let more die.

I think that's it

Molish. There is nothing you can do.

Feeling helpless hurts. Live with it.
