I'm not excusing it, nor do I think it's ok. I think had you ACTUALLY read anything I've said thusfar you'd understand the point I was trying to make. I know, I'm an idiot who looks at things from BOTH SIDES. Sorry If I can *understand* what people are going through. Sorry If I'm educated and know what types of effect stress has on the human mind and body where apparantly you don't.

Profiting? how so? Are they down at the local starbucks ebaying the plasma tv's they stole? are you fucking kidding me? Everyone in new orleans pretty much just lost EVERYTHING they own, i doubt there's much trading and selling going on in the city. As a matter of fact, I'm POSITIVE there isn't any. Another bullshit excuse to just whine and bitch and not actually do anything about it.

yes, survival.. the basic instinct humans have to keep on living. When you're desperate enough you can't begin to imagine the things you'll do to stay alive. If you're not willing to kill someone in order to save your own life, as immoral and sick as it is and sounds then I'm sorry but you probably deserve to die. Everyone has the basic instinct to want to live, if you don't then you shouldn't really be here anyway.

I'm sorry if you're too busy, or even stupid to look at things from both sides of the coin. When you're *stranded* somewhere, with what seems like no hope and no help in sight, feeling abandoned by your government and the people who could be helping you, it makes for a DESPERATE situation. Add to that no food, no water, no medicines, no contact with loved ones, 110° sweltering heat and it just makes people do crazy shit.

Besides, murders are nothing new in New Orleans. I'd be willing to wager on a normal new orleans day, more people get shot and raped then what's happened during the aftermath. New Orleans at one point was #1 per capita for murder. It's not like it was all rainbows and unicorns before the hurricane ya know?

Just stop and *think* for a minute.... if you dont get it, stop to *think* some more. I know this may seem like a large task to conquer, but I have faith in you

Well we have reached a point in the road were we disagree, since your sarcasm is so becoming I'll leave you to it

While you have some points survival has nothing to do with looting, murder (unless in comes down to the last rations or other self preservation), rape or pillaging

My point still stands that I can't get behind any relief effort that may include funds or supplies to animals

However I've inquired how to lend a hand on a personal level to someone that could use it

and I will never understand (no matter how you try to explain it) how anything can turn to looting, murder, rape or pillaging in a crisis situation
Guess that's because I wouldn't do it and can't see how anyone could

It's very easy for us all to sit here and say we'd do this or do that but we weren't there


One thing I did find amusing but I haven't posted yet, while looters were stealing beer and smokes (2 very needed supplies) why didn't they break into pharmacies and take the best Doctor Dope?
Ah ha ha ha ha
