    I couldn’t help but chuckle at the note during Sandy “I have hyperthermia, and I took some blankets.”

    That being said, I’m now going to break into everyone’s house during a disaster, and leave a note about how I only stole stuff that I needed. Seems legit.

    In regards to the animals that need new homes…. Aren’t you kind of stealing someone else’s pet?

    Like they could have just gotten loose mid storm and run off leaving these people with no idea their pet is even alive.

    Ok…. so for the New York flooding…. I was a victim of hurricane Katrina… and I KNOW I’m an ass hole for this, but I literally can not feel sympathy for 28 inches. 28 inches for god’s sake! I got 11 feet in Katrina. My school was destroyed. My life was completely uprooted. And I am supposed to feel sorry for some New Yorkers who didn’t have electricity for a few days? Try almost three months! And yes, I KNOW I’m an asshole!

      Yep, and you got a lot of news coverage, too. FEMA assistance and all that. But, life goes on, the world keeps spinning, disasters strike elsewhere, and that’s the new news. Should we stop reporting on disasters just because it wasn’t as bad as the last one? If so, we wouldn’t have reported a hurricane since at least 1970. Katrina killed less than 2,000 people. Bhola killed half a million. You want more? I can list at least 7 more hurricanes in the 20th century alone that were worse than the hurricane you survived.

      I think you’re going a bit beyond “asshole”.

    Heeee, Kid Loki is so cute. So is Kid Iron Man, for that matter. All those costumes are really well made.
