1. Give a hoot, don't loot.

[dbackjon]

2. WWJL

What would Jesus loot?

[Telly Savalas]

21. Do ya feel lucky, punk?

Well, do ya?

[-..__...]

26. My child was looter of the month at NO Junior High.

[progmom]

3. oooh - me first!

I don't believe that a single person has said that looting is ok in every situation.

[Telly Savalas]

25. Actually, I've been arguing that point.

Now if you'll excuse me, I've gotta find my baseball bat so I can make a trip to the corner store to get some milk.

[tammywammy]

41. hahahaha

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[peekaloo]

4. Crazy Gary's Pawn Shop is open for bidness!

[Roland99]

5. Rhymes with shooting?

Could be misconstrued as lewding? ;)

[jobycom]

6. The "oo" looks like eyes, which brings to mind

the optometrist sign in "The Great Gatsby," whose itular character made money dishonestly, probably selling loot now and then.

[RobertSeattle]

7. Amateurs loot the Convenience Stores, Grocery Stores, and Walmart

Pro's loot the US Treasury.

8. ...

[Telly Savalas]

16. Well that's kind of the point.

Even though the discussion has devolved past the "I know you are but what am I" point 24 hours ago, it still seems to be raging.

Although I concede that maybe I should quit whining about it and just use the "hide thread" button more aggressively.

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

35. I don't think so

Some of the threads are started solely for the purpose of flame wars as are the "where is the foreign aid for us?" crap. Once upon a time people used to get tombstoned for spamming with pure right wing talking points and crap.

I'm waiting for a good so-called progressive to ask what the UN is going to do for us?

[Telly Savalas]

37. This thread was not intended as flame bait.

It's pretty hard to give a serious response to this thread because the topic has been beaten to death. I was expecting people to crack jokes in response, and for the most part that's what's happening.

[SalmonChantedEvening]

9. You have been charged with loot behavior.

:P

[knowbody0]

10. if my family waded in sewer water

and were hungry and thirsty, i would take what we needed. no doubt about it.

[Ian David]

11. Nobody's looting the fruitcakes from The Christmas Tree Shop. n/t

[-..__...]

12. If the looters swarmed Hooters...

would they go for the Buffalo Shrimp or the 5 Wing Flappatizer?

[likesmountains 52]

13. They were just moving the merchandise to higher ground...

[Squatch]

15. LOL! Nominated as the best explanation!

:toast:

[KittyWampus]

14. what happens when men start taking rage out on women?

[Squatch]

18. Looting the pootie?

/apologies everybody.
//many, many apologies
///mea, mea culpa

:spank:

[Nikki Stone 1]

20. Self delete

...

[sniffa]

33. what happens when you post this in other Looting threads?

[KittyWampus]

39. Well, I'm now invoking Lord of the Flies.... here's a graphic

interesting study in human behavior.

in New Orleans and DU as well.

I'm a cultural anthropologist by training and tend to step outside of some situations emotionally.

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

17. Can this be the last looting thread?

:shrug:

[Telly Savalas]

22. Or at least there can be a DU Looting Group...

and they can all be moved there.

[Cats Against Frist]

19. You put your left loot in, you put your left loot out

[titoresque]

23. Robin Looterhood would be proud!

and "I brake for looters!"

take it all..........BACK!

[Wickerman]

24. Ever posted on DU at work? Read it for longer than your 15 min break?

How much do you make an hour? How much does a loaf a bread cost? Fuck all the righteous indignation.

[Squatch]

27. Only during my lunchbreak.

Which happens to fall between 8 AM and 5 PM.

[Wickerman]

28. Cool for you

so, obviously you are sympathetic to the "looters". :thumbsup:

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

38. bless you my child

I'm about to cannonize some DU'ers as saints simply for their moral absolutism :D

[Wickerman]

40. ain't it the truth

I'm thinking most DUers never exceed the speed limit or roll thru a stop sign.

Saint Wickerman, I like it.

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

42. I just wanna stick some of these posters waste deep in the muddy

and test their moral superiority after hours without food, water or basic services

[ret5hd]

31. No shit!

or gotten too much change from a cashier?

and most importantly: if you can walk on water, why the hell ain't you helping out in new orleans?

[Egalitariat]

29. Looting kills people. Looters are partly to blame for people who don't

evacuate. Some people stay behind to protect their stuff from people who will steal it from them at an opportune time.

One-fourth of the blame goes to sheer stupidity. One-fourth goes to the news media who "cry wolf" so often that nobody respects them when the big one really comes. One-fourth of the blame goes to "Re-Entry Block" orders after mild hurricanes, and the last fourth goes to looters who drive people to stay behind so they can protect their stuff.

[katsy]

30. Someone get oxygen to Kyra Phillips!

She's freaking out!

"Looting! Looters! What about the looters? Looting! Looty Looty Loot Loot Looooooooters Loooooting looky looky at the looooters looting!"


If you're that bothered sweety, grab your rifle and go stop the looting looters.

[KG]

32. steal a little they'll call you a thief, steal alot and

they'll make you a king.

in the grand scheme of things, the NO looting is such a non-issue for me.

[Opusnone]

43. A man who steals a fishing hook is called a thief, a man

who steals a country is called a king.
I don't remember who said that but you get the idea.

[meganmonkey]

34. JAW with his loot

(I love Google Images)

[turbo_satan]

36. OK. After 9/11, it didn't take long for BushCo...

to loot the Treasury.

[Viking12]

44. Looters are doing business owners a favor

They probably have insurance for theft but not flood.
