STOP these posts about LOOTERS! Enough already. I've not read

[WiseButAngrySara]

ONE, Pro or Con...Turn on MSM if you want to hear all about it. We have a human tragedy that is beyond comprehension, and all some of you can do is debate the moral pros and cons of looting, for gosh sakes! NOLA is a poor city and a rich city. They are stressed, they are tired, they are hungry, and there is no Christ in sight. What do you expect? Quit wasting time and space debating the inevitable!

Never was a truer picture comment made.

7. "some will rob you with a six gun,

some with a fountain pen."

It's trivial, in light of what is happening. Trivial.

10. I agree....these poor people. Is most of the looting in NO? I really

haven't read any of the threads.

11. Those of us looking for loved ones in NO DON'T appreciate them AT ALL!

Fuck the M$M and their fake issues.

[WiseButAngrySara]

15. You have my vote! Fake issue is right! I doubt that there would be so

many useless posts in this time of tragedy if they weren't flamed by what MSM is brewing up. Shame on them. Property is now so damaged in NO, who cares if there's looting. People are still alive, in need, and many are unaccounted for. MSM and DU are both wasting time, IMHO. Since when is property more important than people?

[Karenina]

Property has ALWAYS been

more important than people. Particularly, poor people.

[txaslftist]

13. Deal.

[RevCheesehead]

14. I think I've got about 13 on hide already - and counting.

[Ron Mexico]

16. Wouldn't it be easier to just

ask us to run all potential posts by you before putting them up, so as to get your much-needed seal of approval?

If you don't like a subject, don't open the threads. This would be a very boring board if everyone agreed with everyone else and adored each post put up.

Sheesh.

[WiseButAngrySara]

17. I think its insane to discuss these trivial issues, in the face of so much

tragedy.

[Pithlet]

20. Fine.

That's a perfectly valid viewpoint. Just hide the threads. It's easier, and you won't annoy people. Amonishments about what we should and shouldn't post about at DU are as old as DU itself.

We're all freaked out and saddened by what happened to NO and the rest o the area devestated. Really.

[WiseButAngrySara]

18. Kick!!!!

[theHandpuppet]

19. Amen! Just STOP IT, people!

For God's sake people are suffering and dying -- don't we have better things to discuss right now? Just STOP IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think it's time for the mods to start taking some action on all these looting threads taking over the GD forum, since some folks can't seem to talk about anything else!

[truebrit71]

21. Careful, this thread might get deleted...just like the one I posted...

...complaining about the number of lemming posts on here today....

:eyes:

[Midlodemocrat]

22. Locking.

Everyone's nerves are a bit on edge today as we see the damage wrought by this storm. The Hide Thread feature can be a very good friend.

Thank you.
