I guess they did not teach you Puerto Rico is a U.S. territory. U.S. here is short for United States, which is short for United States of America.

I hope you don't reproduce.

I have lived through a natural disaster, it was the genocide of my people and the theft of a generation.

That genocide happened because of people/attitudes like this...

I don't have to apologize to the likes of you east coast crybabies that think people complaining the power is out is a worthy endeavor that has your pussy hurting. Go ask your grandmother what the tattoo on her forearm is for if you want to know about real suffering. Until that day grow some nuts and quit being such little bitches about every small thing that comes along. Oh ya your bitch still isn't president. I got plenty more, keep crying.

Unless you are 73 years old or older, you have not lived through this either. I have not but my family certainly did. To call this a natural disaster is ridiculous. Pure man made evil. Trying to compare the two is idiotic. Bringing one of the worst atrocities that has ever occurred into the conversation here is ridiculous. I'm trying to just let it go and pass on by your idiotic comments but this one got me. I'm bothered by the lack of respect some folks are showing the hard working people working round the clock to fix things and you compare it to the Holocaust? And at the same time show NO compassion for people currently suffering? Would it make a difference if your family lived in Puerto Rico or would you still not care?

Thank you. We are ok and fortunate. Just some downed trees and no power. We have a generator so we are doing ok. It will be a long haul for others in town though.

What country? Puerto Rico isn't a country!

Sorry, territory.

I had not yet read goldenz' post (34) when I wrote the following:

You're just way over the top, man.

On the other hand,

Years ago the chain I worked for had a customer who was waiting on delivery of a new CD player. He came in one day and it sill wasn't there. He started ranting... then said "This is a real problem! I need this player! Why isn't it..." and he glanced down at his arm, looking at the tattoo on it. He calmed down and said, "well, I want my CD player, but it's really not a problem. This," he said, pointing at the tattoo, "THIS was a problem!"

Burton, when you say you have lived through a natural disaster and the theft of a generation, are you saying that a) the Holocaust was a natural phenomenon, like a tornado? Are you saying that b) you were there and conscious of what was happening? It ended 73 years ago, so for you to be able to say "I HAVE LIVED through" it, you must be at least, say, 80 years old. Are you? (Be careful when you're up on that ladder!) Or are you referring your personal pain to something where you only saw the after-effects?

How does you being mean help your own feelings about things? How does it help anyone who presently needs help? Your neighborhood doesn't look any better just because it's got a nasty old man telling people to keep off his lawn.

Not even. Dick in a box was a) funny and b) contained. He's all over the place.
A good answer is easier with a clear question giving the make and model of everything.

As my cousin says, mockingly, "Me, me, me- it's all about me!".

It's a big country, there's plenty to like and dislike. Look for what you like, avoid what you don't and don't worry about what isn't likely to change unless it will needlessly kill people and then, find a way to change it.
