So it's silly?.....
I don't appreciate the "woulda, coulda, shoulda" attitude from anyone....Go back and read the original article of this thread....If you are not going to be part of the solution, shut up!
In the last three days, I have filled up the gas tank of a family from Louisiana trying to get to relatives in Kansas....I have bought a meal for another family passing though my community....This morning my wife took groceries to a local church that last night welcomed 320 evacuees into our town, which is more than seven hours away from New Orleans.
I am not here beating my chest and saying look how great I am.....I am doing what I can to make the situation better.....What my God leads me to do!!!!
I frankly don't give a rat's butt what you, our British friend, or any Freeper thinks.....Actions speaks louder than words......Now is the time for action!
You were making a flippant remark about "what are the Brits doing".
It's nice how you're helping out, but that (and that you're not bragging) has nothing to do w/flipping off at foreigners outside our borders about not helping. That's a bad attitude toward people who frankly have the right not to care much about what's happening because it's not in their interests (just as we're not rushing to go save all the 3rd-world people all over the world from their ruthless gov's and dictators), and invariably it is far removed besides. It's just not practical.
And frankly, who cares what they think or do? We can take care of ourselves and don't need them. 1 should never EXPECT from such; it's unfair.
