    The only things you destroy are your teeth and the few brain cells you have left, skank. Meth kills, skank.

    Now, shut up, skank.

    The skank is a proven racist who assumes black men are drug dealers and spits in their face. Then she brags about it online.

    Good point. Here's another example:

    The fact that the city of Galveston exists today is the triumph of imagination, hope and determination over reality. Perched precariously on a sand-barrier island in the Gulf of Mexico, Galveston is subject to the whims of inevitable hurricanes.

    One of those hurricanes, dancing its deadly way across the Gulf of Mexico in early September 1900, came very close to dealing the city a fatal blow. An estimated 6,000 residents died, and most structures in the city were destroyed or badly damaged. In terms of human life, it remains the worst natural disaster in United States history.

    Galveston's leaders took several major steps to recover from the storm and to prevent a recurrence of the devastation. First, they developed a new form of municipal government, one with strong centralized control to handle the economic recovery of the city. Next, they built a massive seawall to turn back storm-generated waves. Perhaps the most amazing step they took was to raise the level of the entire city, by more than 16 feet in some areas, in order to keep flooding at a minimum.

    How much longer do those of us that didn't choose to live in areas prone to these disasters have to pay for the choices those people made?

    With big government

    Months later, as the community started their recovery process, the Red Cross, Work Projects Administration, Federal Emergency Relief Administration (now FEMA) and the Veteran’s Administration, joined forces to construct specially-designed hurricane-proof homes. The homes, constructed with iron bars, featured 18-inch thick walls, concrete roofs, and were twelve feet above ground with built-in cisterns designed to hold a year's worth of water.

    So you have lucky? I thought that we live in a free country, where we can pick and choose what we want to do with out lives? How then can we dictate where people call home?
