  our opinions: an open letter to the president dear mr. president:.

  we heard you loud and clear friday when you visited our devastated city and the gulf coast and said, "what is not working, were going to make it right.".

  please forgive us if we wait to see proof of your promise before believing you.

  VERY well written letter. I wonder if there will be any reply from the govt quoting this exact letter or the sentiments within.

  Why do people hate Americans?

  maybe the correct word is not "hate", but "distain" or "dislike"... .

  many people were against the war in iraq and dilike president bush, has this had a baring on how people view americans?

  when america flexes its military muscles how do you feel?

  Rescue inequality?

  this doesn't sound right:.

  hyatt guests given priority.

  at one point friday, the evacuation was interrupted briefly when school buses rolled up so some 700 guests and employees from the hyatt hotel could move to the head of the evacuation line much to the amazement of those who had been crammed in the stinking superdome since last sunday.. how does this work?

  I am actually really irked that I tried to come off nice to you and you go off on me saying that I am being condescending.
  
  Much less when you dont even know what it means.
  
  I'll put it out here for ya....
  
  con·de·scend·ing :
  
  1. To descend to the level of one considered inferior; lower oneself.
  2. To deal with people in a patronizingly superior manner.
  
  In my post to you I actually PRAISED you for taking the time and effort to go and write to whom needed writing.
  
  I asked if you had ever considered running for political office because you seem to want things to change. I dont know if you had ever considered it, if not, then I was putting a bug in your ear.
  
  I am scared of the way things are going in the world today. People who actually have a concience and a drive do actually do things right, especially here in the states, are sorely needed.

  "AND...I don't think any of my posts have been deleted if they have I'm oblivious."
  
  Listen you git and READ the whole post for a change.
  
  The thread where the posts were deleted were because Simon deleted the whole thread.
  
  If you had bothered to read the whole thing that I wrote as opposed to getting all anxious to increase your post count, you might have caught it.
  
  "And that is not including the posts in *** the thread simon deleted *** or others I just didnt bother to look up."
  
  Not that your posts were deleted.... Simon deleted the whole damn thread. Then... in his apology thread, you start in all over again!
  
  As to your reply....
  
  "I think you're offended by what I've wrote because I'm siding with people outside of our country EVEN though our government F***ed up royaly."
  
  I will ask you to not analyze me. You do not know me, you do not know how I feel, you dont know a THING that has anything to do with me. Do NOT tell me how I feel. I am not offended that you feel the way you do. The way you feel or who you side with will not make my day tommorow any brighter or any worse.
  
  "Am I being condescending?"
  
  I'm not sure... have you looked up what it means yet or are you still not sure?

  :rolls eyes:
  
  Ok... first thing is first.
  
  On your second post...
  
  "WHAT? I never did that....I think you got me mixed up with other posters you read."
  
  READ MY COMMENTS. I said that I am GLAD that you have NOT taken up the current fad. That means that you HAVE NOT done that and I am very glad for it.
  
  Ok, in reply to your first post. Lets break it down.
  
  "one more thing pr- you may not be attacking me but you are being condescending....I'm really not sure what the difference is between the two but I know condescending comments when I see them."
  
  First, I am not being condescending in any way shape or form. When I say that I am glad that you are actually trying to take an active role in this situation by writing the correct reps, I mean it.
  
  MANY people bitch and moan but do NOTHING about it. You are obviously not one of those people.
  
  Second, if you dont know what the difference between attacking and condescending... you prolly shouldnt be using that word at all. Or if you must, at least look it up in a dictionary before doing so. BTW... THAT is condescending.
  
  "I don't think anyone in the US even needs to do the things I do (vote, contact those in charge, pay taxes) to say voice their opinions.If you're a citizen you have the right to critisize the government as much as you want."
  
  Why should those who dont vote, dont bother to contact those in positions of authority, and dont pay taxes (using your examples), have the right to critisize? Just because its their God given right to flap their gums about whatever they want to??? Just because they can??? What have they contributed in any way shape or form to the betterment and growth of our country aside from sittin on the sideline and bitching about everything going on?
  
  And again... before you go off on me, I am not talking about you. I am using your examples to make a point.

  My damn edit button isnt working properly so I am adding this to my above post.
  
  I will have to say though, you would prolly have sent me over the edge had you took up the current JWD fad of spelling America - Amerikkka.
  
  That is nothing but nonsence and adding fuel to a fire that should have burnt out long ago. :D

  "If you're offended because I'm not acting like a gung ho patriot at this moment the question I would ask you is--WHY SHOULD I??"
  
  I dont recall stating that I was offended nor did I ask you to be patriotic.
  
  I can understand being upset... I really can. But what I mean by your posting is as follows.

  And that is not including the posts in the thread simon deleted or others I just didnt bother to look up.
  
  I'm not trying to single you out specifically. You just happen to be the poster that caught my eye the most.
  
  And not to say that they are or are not good points. Its merely a re-hashing of things that have been stated over and over and over again.
  
  I am actually VERY glad that you have been writing. I wish that they would take the time to respond to you, I would be very interested in reading what they have to say.
  
  Have you actually considered ever running for public office? Ya know, fix things from the inside?

  Under.... first thing, I want you to know that I am not attacking you. I simply wanted to ask if you voted this past prez election?
  
  If so, then yes... you have every right to gripe about our Govt. Read a bit further on some suggestions on how you can get what you have to say heard though.
  
  If not, then no.
  
  Also... I have been reading your posts all day. I know that you are angry and upset about everything that has been happening. I am sure that NOLA has brought everything to a head for you.
  
  But really, is posting on EVERY SINGLE NOLA related, or how do you feel about America, thread saying the same things over and over again doing anyone any good?
  
  I have told Trauma Hound this many many times. If you want to effect change in the political climate of the U.S... then run for public office. You will be able to see first hand how easy it is to get things done.
  
  If that is not a possibility for you, then write letters to your congresman/woman, your state governour, the mayor... anyone in a position to relay your message. We here at JWD cannot do so for you. As a matter of fact, I am almost 100% positive that noone with the govts. ear ever has graced this forum.
  
  Instead of sitting behind your desk and clicking away for us to read what you feel... make good use of that time and do something more constructive than repeating yourself on a forum of people that the majority of the people whom belong to it arent even U.S Citizens.
  
  If this is still not good enough for you, then may I interest you in some real estate north of our border?
