This is why I hate Christmas!  If you are going to help someone you should help someone regardless of what time of year it is.

For people to be "helpful" only during Christmas is hypocritical.

Ahhhh, this is something that bothers me as well, I get very upset with the local tv stations and grocery stores when they do their "holiday food drives" to help feed the hungry and homeless, I always ask the question, do we only have hungry and or homeless people during the holidays, why do they not do these food drives year round, or why doesnt the Salvation Army have the bell ringers out year round?

However, this is a different situation, Mr Behr had a friend in need, and of course, "A Friend in Need, Is a Friend Indeed"

Sorry, I guess that kind of shows my age

There are 1000's of charities that run all year long that help children, homeless, cancer...etc. Do you give each month? I think it is great that people and stores do something over the holidays. It''s better than never

That wasnt the point, the point was, the way the TV stations and the Grocery stores do it only during the holidays an make a grand spectical of it.

And yes, I do, I give every month, sometimes to the point that it hurts, I also give money to the people on the streets that are asking for help. < edit > however, this is a personal thing, and its wrong to ask another person if they give.

Nice of you to violate Rule #1

But who cares, I sure as fuck don't...

Keep that little mouth of yours closed before you get into more trouble and have to ask someone for help...

LMAO

I haven't violated any rules and I haven't called you any names! However, I am sorry for the one remark I did make in reference to feeling sorry for you, and hope you accept my apology. If you so wish, I will keep this 'little mouth shut' and hope you have a wonderful Holiday season and a happy new year!

All the best,

Very cool...I was not saying you did not. It would be nice if everyone and every business could do it all year long but I think what they do is nice....they don't have to do it. Let the stores do it every year and let the rest of us take care of it during the non-holiday season (just gave my monthly bag of clothes to the Vietnam Vets this morning)

What most people do not understand is, that if every person that could, would give $20/month, we could just about do away with homlessness and hunger.

As long as the government isnt in charge of handling it

I totally agree. I am starting a new landscape photography business (a gallery when I move to NY in about a year) and I am giving 10% of all sales to a few charities that mean something to me personally. Plus my wife does a lot wit children charities. If everyone did a little, problem would be solved....and I agree....for it to be successful the government would have to just let it be.

This is true, people are under a lot more stress this time of year, stores are more crowded, traffic sucks, in some places its not only cold but nasty slushy snow all over the place, the kids want this that and the other, parents feel pressured that they have to buy all the latest and greatest gizzmo gadgets for their spoiled kids, so yea, I would think people are a bit more bitchy this time of year.

I think I read somewhere that the christmas season has one of the highest suicide rates of any other time of the year, I dont know if thats true, but I can certainly see how it could be.

There are a number of 18 and 19 year olds (older as well) in Iraq and Afghanistan would might like some goodies or a note even from home.    You don't have to be rich, stuff we take for granted here can be a luxury there.  And again, even a note to someone far away from home can be as worthwhile as food items or large sized handiwipes.

Kudos.

Such a hypocritical Christian statement to use around this time of year when you have nothing of meaning to say...  LMAO


*Note*
No offense to all the Christians in here that are Christian all year round!

You shout at me that I don't know you, what makes you the expert on me and my faith?

Again, I wish you peace...throughout the year. I hope that you can see what this season is truly about.

yeah...and new orleans wasn't prepared for katrina.

denver knows what it's doing. they are used to this.

i'm happy she had help and i hope she gets home ok.

Wow. What a day to be rebuilding my computer. I read the previous thread and thought everything was already handled. I'd be happy to help, Christian, but apparently she now has everything she needs, including a ride to the airport when the snow clears.

For whoever said the airlines are responsible, and can afford it, well, no. First, they are not responsible for weather delays. As far as affording it, most US airlines are in or on the verge of bankruptcy, so they can't afford it.

I'm sure there are hotels at or near the airport, but it's not exactly like they were all completely empty in anticipation of a major winter storm, people were already staying there or already had reservations there. You can't jam 5,000 extra people into hotels that are already full.

Yeah, she could have slept on the floor at the airport like a lot of other people, but guess what, she has a good friend in Christian, and he helped. So did several other people here. Thanks to them all. Merry F-ing Christmas to the rest of you.

She has a warm place to sleep and some friends willing to help her out, and that's what matters. Merry Christmas to everyone and may you spend it with people you love and enjoy.

Weather Update in Denver:

Snow has just NOW stopped falling, after 29 (!) hours of storming which resulted in a minimum of two feet of snow throughout the metro area, some places reporting 3-4 feet.

The 18 hour storm also had high winds, causing drifts up to 10 feet high. One of them on my driveway...

Translation for those of you who have never lived near snow:

Nobody is going anywhere. No FedEx deliveries. No mail. No pizza guys. If you're pregnant or otherwise need to get the hospital, you are advised to call a central hotline where they will dispatch the National Guard to come rescue you.

Cars are littered on the highways and side streets, where they came to a stop due to deep snow and were abandoned.

Denver does not get snow like this very often. People think Colorado gets a great deal of snow and must be used to it. That' s true up in the mountains, not down here in Denver. They only have like 60 plows for the whole city.

So, the digging out begins now. The last I heard, they were going to TRY to open the airport at noon tomorrow.

Right now, people are using their own snowblowers on my street to try and clear it themselves, knowing it will be ages before a plow comes.

i'm from Salt Lake City, Utah and it rarely snows to this extent (shutting down airports)... but this does NOT make me miss home!!! haha! it's why I moved to Cali!
