Hurricane Katrina I stopped feeling sorry for them now...

I'm fully aware that I am not a person that tolerates ignorance or stupidity well. So here's my opinion....

Recently FEMA has announced that those people that were displaced by the hurricanes earlier this year are going to have their housing cut starting in December. Thousands of people have been living in hotels since this happend almost three months ago. In those three months they have been given THOUSANDS of dollars to pay for their housing, food, and other asundry goods. These people have been handed jobs, new housewares, and in some cases given the opportunity to rent homes for lower prices. These people have had three months of paying NOTHING for their housing. I understand that they have lost many of their items (if not all of them) as well as been displaced however, after all they have been given many are still living in hotels and motels. Living off of FEMA. Why is it that they did not think in the three months they've been there that it would be a damn good idea to save up some money and find a place to live. I understand many thought at first they would be able to go back to their homes and maybe didnt think to do this. But after a few weeks...was it not obvious? They have been given the opportunity to save money (one family i know PERSONALLY received three months of hotel rooms, hundreds of dollars for food from the Red Cross and beaceaux amounts of free money for clothes etc....all while receiving government assistance for food as well as welfare and everything else they were getting in Texas....) They literally have four thousand dollars "saved" all the while they have been living in a hotel...free.... Yet they are complaining that they have to move by the first. They have money in the bank...what the hell is the problem!!!

I give up I have no sympathy for these people just because they were welfare idiots back in Louisiana or Texas does not mean that they should be able to mooch off the government for the rest of their damn lives. Ask me if i'm racist....and I will say i'm racist against ignorance, stupidity and people that just plain are too damn lazy to get off their asses and get real jobs to supporty themselves and their damn families....
