I don't know why you say Houston is a city worth keeping "unlike New Orleans". I have many dear friends from both of those cities. It really hurts to read such comments.
I have to agree with your post #72...why people make such nasty comments is beyond me...to wish for those in NO to suffer, as opposed to those in TX, is just plain evil and cruel...
When Katrina struck, I was really shocked at the number of absolutely disgusting posts that appeared, almost cheering the loss of an American city....posturing that since NO was such an evil city, it deserved to be destroyed...saying that NO was destroyed because it was such an evil place...people who make such comments are are vile..
I have seen people on all sorts of FR threads, wishing for the whole west coast to be destroyed and dumped into the ocean...that always offends me personally as I have family in Washington State(where I live), and have family in both Oregon and California...how evil of some jerk to wish for my death, the death of my husband and son, ,the death of all my relatives, and death of the little new baby across the street from me, the death of the senior citizens who live across the street from me...its sick...
There are always such people around...they are sad excuses for human beings...No one, who finds themselves in the path of a natural occurance which could harm or kill them, and destroy everything they have, deserves what happens to them...we need to pray for all those who find themselves in harms way, no matter what state or city they live...
Sorry for this rant, but am sick and tired of absolute jerks, making such stupid comments...
