Texas holdouts committing Suicide

[Jamo]

Buzz...I had to look into a friend's eyes after he saved some folks who refused a mandatory evacuation in front of a forest fire. Burns covering 70% of his body.

He died the next day.

Folks that don't leave should be held criminally reponsible for the deaths of any responders who try to save them

If I don't sound too charitable...been in an NLRB election hearing listing to union whiners for the past few days. Tends to make ya want to kick a few dogs.

I know the "victims" aren't the only ones that suffer in a disaster and by far the nobler and more tragic are the losses felt by the rescuers and those who truly can't get out of harms way. I understand the anger part big buddy, I just have difficulty seeing humour or satire in any of it.

We are all coloured by our experiences and as this discussion goes on I begin to see that my perspective may just not be broad enough on this one to fully and objectively appreciate the other point of view.

PS - I know what you mean about dealing with the union types and their mentality - been there.

[Jamo]

Assolutely agree with you re it not being funny, my friend...phuking tragic is what it is.

I find it interesting that you view my posts that way,I had never given it any thought.
Looks like a positive to me though,thanks.

I am not sure about the accuracy of some of the things I have been seeing and hearing, but it seems that many people were just downright fortunate as , in the words of one of the rescue commanders, they had prepared for worst case scenario in some of those places and it wasn't as bad as they had feared. That is good news. They did show lots of trees and other damage, but I was surprised at the houses that stood up. However, they said some of them may not be live able after everything is cleaned up and they are inspected.

My cousin and his wife left yesterday for a long vacation, heading West, so they will get to miss the heavy rain that is supposed to fall in their area from this storm. He said they already have had over two years of normal rainfall there this year and all of the lakes are as full as they can hold.

Gee, I knew that Fred was retired, but I did not know he was retarded. That explains BB and the Humpin' Ho Sisters.

Yea, but they work and bring him extra mad money to have fun with. Turtle just sits and waits for you to clean him up and re-do his finish.

Well,I have to ask y'all a question about this nasty rumor.

I have 3 Ho Frog Sisters out humpin' their azzes off everyday and they only bringing home pocket change and a lot of attitude.
Plus Biker Babe that can't get below 350# and bi!ches non-stop about my Harley making her butt look big when I pick her up at the all you can eat buffett.

Now does this really sounded retarded to y'all ?

uhh...after thinking this over,never mind.

Ernie, I think you may feel that way because you're such a vocal supporter of someone that wants to turn America into a socialist state and do everything possible to marginalize it's power in the world. There are a few of us that don't want to see that happen. And, sometimes facts are very stubborn things.

How do you do it? How can you stand that pathetic union whining? Money must be dam good.

Sorry about your friend. Agree on charging a-holes who stay...

Ernie, it sounds to me like you may be a prime candidate for the Bradley Effect.
