Tom, I disagree with you-I don't NEED to look at anything differently at all. It is entirely my opinion and clearly you disagree-which is fine. But yes, I feel the same way about the Tsunami as well. Just because I feel that it happened for a reason, (both the Tsunami and the hurricane) DOES NOT mean that I didn't provide assistance in any way I could. There are those that survived and lost everything who need assistance getting on with their lives and I realize and support that. It doesn't change the fact that I still believe it happened for a reason. My views on unproductive people has nothing to do with any religious affiliations or my military views. It has to do with my opinion based on first hand research I have done for school projects, a little bit of media, first hand experience of the benefits given to LAZY (not sick, handicapped, mental problems....) LAZY people who choose not to work and are entitled to all sorts of benefts and your expense as well as mine. People who are continually in legal trouble, yet get all sorts of breaks from the city, state and government. What about those of us who work, pay our taxes, don't break the law, are sick but still work, are taking care of someone who is sick and can't work... there's nothing left for us. THat is where I derive my PERSONAL veiw of unproductive people.
To everyone who wants to jump on my back for this post here, The subject line clearly defines the fact that I am venting and to NOT read if you are easily offeneded. I did create this post to vent, talk about the frustrating situation, bitch, complain... whatever... because expressing your feelings is a healty thing to do. I came her because I have many good friends on this site, and as you can clearly see... not all of them agreed with my opinion and not all of them agreed that it was appropriate for me to post what I did here, but it was left at that by anyone who has a long-time-standing on this board. If you read it and you don't like it, don't post here. I don't really care if you put, "I won't be reading this post again" or "I won't be posting here again", nor does anyone else, You just make yourself look like a fool when you do that.
It's not my fault that Mike posted his address and continually harassed me with emails after I asked him to stop. I don't care if he's a freaking saint in someone elses eyes, to me he's a freak. And although Luke had the right idea in stating that I wouldn't mind posting my address, and I see that he posted his, (and no offense to you Luke) I would NEVER do that, it just isn't the brightest thing to do. When you post something on the internet, email or whatever YOU TAKE THE RISK of someone else seeing it, hacking into it, intercepting it. If Mike knows all he says he knows, then he should have planned for that. I am not surprised admin took the home address out, although I don't think it inappropriate that it was there, but I am shocked that they took the emails out becuase his emails is accessable through CF2 chat???????
If more than one person in the universe (and i"ve counted about 15 on this site) think that CF2 is cliqueish, then it ought to be some feedback, not that any of the members who are a part of the clique care). There were some on that site who welcomed me, but for 98% of the time, NOBODY on that site paid attention to my posts and if anyone did, it was the same 1 or 2 people responding. The same scenario happens for other new people on the board, or those who clearly think with their own brains and don't "go with the flow" . There's no sense in me posting what I have here onto the CF2 board as someone suggested, it would just cause anothe fight and get deleted, besides, a majority of the angry and anonymous posts on this board are from CF2 chat members-the IP address from their names on the forum there and on the forum here are identical.... so unless they are all over at one persons house, CF2 members are trickling their way over here, many of them not having the guts to sign their name or register, and writing some interesting (lack of a better word) things.
and to the poster hello, when you say "poor julie isn't telling what really happened", what do you mean by that. I am telling exactly what happened, save for providing the link because some assistant manager deleted it. Please do share what I am not telling.....I am really curious to know what facts they are missing before they judged. And, as I read back over all the posts, it doesn't sound like ANYONE who said there are cliques on that site derived that opinion from my post. From what they posted, it seems as though they too were treated like crap by someone or many people on that site because their opinion differed.
I didn't post this here to start a fight or problems, if I wanted to do that, it would have been easily accomplished on CF2 chat. I came here because most people on this site seem to have a more level head, and even though many disagreed with my opinion, they choose not to attack me personally but rather state their opinion and elaborate on that. I didn't start this post to make known my opinion of the hurricane, I came here to vent about how I was treated and a freak who wouldn't leave me alone. If that's a problem for you then please don't read this post and please just don't post here, and heave forbid you come back to see what others keep posting, you aren't interested... remember?
Thanks to all who have responded, even those who, in a civil manner, disagreed with what I said or did. I appreciate the support and the understanding from those who did post and had the guts to leave their name. Talking and reading some of the posts has helped me with the frustrations. I am long over being frustrated, but have been out to sea for a week so I just wanted to post this, although it would have been more relevant a few days ago!
Thanks to all,
