So the next time you attend a "concert" remember: Harvey.

Granted the "word" fits the dictionary definition, but so does a Texans' game. It avoids the breadth and scope of the catastrophe and marginalizes it by putting it on the same level as a concert.

It's a tragedy. So who said something to get you riled up?

How many times have you heard "event" in the past week?

It's like "skill set" ... how many times have you heard that recently?

It's a "trendy" reference to an epic catastrophe that marginalizes it.

"Skill set" doesn't adequately and accurately identify natural talent based on mind and body coordination.

I'm monitoring one on an rescue effort right now and periodically checking on the residence of an EMT who is working some long hours .... I have bought food and supplies for others. We can do that because I know how and we have vehicles that will get through the "wet spots"!

When things get settled down and the "shine is gone" we will assist with the evacuees at the shelters just like we did for Katrina refugees.

Now punk go fuck yourself.

I understand your point. It's only an event until your faced with it. The sad thing is we'll see another one quite similar much sooner than later in a different location of the U.S.

Nice story, LLephantMan. I want to believe that you're helping. I can't imagine anyone in Texas not helping.

We've been helping here too. And I've got lots of friends and family out of their homes; one whose shelter in the Beaumont area also flooded and had to be moved yet again.

I think people down here know the score.

But in light of your, errr, disability, why should we believe a word you say? In any EVENT, these an excellent chance you're being neither accurate nor factual.

Sucks, but that's the person you've chosen to be.

Prayers for Houston and the entire coast.

Butt fuck you...
