It's just sad that people care so much about what country everyone else is from. We're all human and we need to help each other out. The tsunami's were on the other side of the world, and I didn't see as much in-your-face footage of the devastation from it, but I still donated money. The London bombings were awful, and just pissed me off even more at the terrorists and reinforced my wanting to go into the Air Force.
Now the hurricane hits our gulf coast, destroying a ton of homes and affecting the lives of millions of people. Everywhere I turn online, on TV, and in the newspaper, I see people walking through diseased waters, rapes, murders, and crackheads looting. And just to clear things up, yes, we know that there are people looting grocery stores and stuff to get things to survive, that's ok. The mayor himself said that it was the drug addicts looting hospitals and pharmacies to ease their cravings, and they're the ones running around with guns shooting at cops and helicopters.
We're all human, we all live in the same world, and we all need to help each other out. I don't care what country you're from; if you get hit by something as horrific as Katrina, the tsunami, or a terrorist attack, you're going to suffer and need people to help out. The people on XBL that were laughing about the London bombings and tsunami are sick little a$$holes, and definately don't represent America on the whole. It's time to stop with the grudges against other countries and just help each other out, and that's not just directed against other countries. A few of us Americans need to be less cocky and have more respect for people.
Well said.
Not everyone is cocky...true, and when there's a crisis in our country or other countries, it always brings out the good in all of us, as well as the bad.
