So in the spirit of cooperation... · 11:19pm Aug 28th, 2017
As you well know a significantly populated area of Texas has flooded.
Sure, there's so far very few deaths comparatively, but over 30K people have already been displaced. As a community we have a history of helping others in need and I can attest to that with my own experience. And that's just one case out of many. Let's once again do what we can and help those in need.
Here's my personal choice for helping: The Red Cross: Harvey Donations
The Mexican Gvmnt. Has helped before, and will do so again. People around the world are uniting to assist. We can do no less.
The Red Cross by no means the only way, other groups and organizations are working tirelessly to help. This is not red vs blue, Liberals vs appropriate-Trump-supporter lingo, Far-right vs Far-Left or even Humans vs Nazis. It's about stepping in and helping others.
So see if you can help, and if you can... do so.
I wish I could. :(
All of that I agree with.... EXCEPT using the R-word as an analogy/euphemism. Having being called that word, I don't feel using it, even PART of it, is acceptable. There's only a few individuals I found (in my opinion and experience) who can use that word and all variations of it and somehow not sound offensive: SpongeBob editors and the guys behind South Park.
Just my two cents on that. Otherwise, thanks for raising awareness on this subject. Have a good one, man.
If I had money I'd buy something to eat.
Seriously, I got 4 bucks to last until Friday and no food.
My family and I have already donated to the Red Cross, and I hope these people can get all of the help they need. Thanks for raising awareness on what we can do to help out, even if it's a small amount, and let's all hope for the best.

What R word?

Pretty sure he means "retard".
4651219 ah.

"Retard." You can have any political affiliation you please (shit storm doors are recommended), but using that to describe stupidity just comes across as ignorant and offensive. I have no love for those who support Trump, but maybe find another way to describe them?
4651221 Fair enough. For the record, it's not an euphemism of my invention. But I can definitely see your point.

Thanks, man. I usually just get negativity, downvotes and people telling me "It's the Internet, shut up and deal" when I mention stuff like that, so to hear that is pretty refreshing.
Its a mess down there. Any help is certainly needed. My ops manager just put a call out for people to go relieve our current rescue effort crews that have been down there since Thursday for another 72 hour rotation. On the positive Buc-ees opened their new store by Katy for around 300 first responders last night. Given that we're told to expect to be sleeping in our ambulances and eating MREs at best something like that means a lot to us.

That sounds like it's from a sensationalized headline. I've been watching KHOU 11 and haven't heard anything that high from them. I've only heard 2 from the weekend found by first responders at home and today a family of 6 in a van. Unfortunately, it's quite possible there are or will be more fatalities. However, 1 is horrible, but there's no need to panic and believe rumors.
