We don't need you, your money or your friends in the invisible empire. FYYFF. Stay the hell out cause you're not welcome anymore. We revoke your passport. The next time you're looking for good food or a good time, you're going to have to content yourself with flying down to Houston Hobby Airport for some Applebees and a movie at the mall. French Quarter Fest is off limits to you, jerkwad. And don't let me catch you sneaking down here for Jazz Fest, either. That crawfish monica is for people who know how to enjoy life, not for uptight holier-than-thou dishrags who wouldn't know a good meal from a frozen burrito. Mook. Peace, Tim, pretending to imitate the master... Hey Mook Joe,

If your disappointed that there's so many Black kids who want to hang out on street corners, perhaps we could spread the world around L.A. that there's lots of easy pickins around here, and offer free bus tickets. That way no one would get the wrong impression. We could have a diverse, equal opportunity crime scene. While I am sympathetic toward and grateful to the undocumented workers here, they are exacerbating other problems because they're the first choice when it's time to pick up labor.

Born & bred here. While the poster is obviously an idiot, he does make a few valid points. Why are not more locals--especially unemployed youth--taking more advantage of some of the FREE training out there so they can join in the rebuilding? For example, this program (http://reconstruction.lctcs.edu/) is begging for people to sign up. Why are so many folks from other places doing the heavy lifting? Not everyone is busy fixing their own houses. I work in social services and see tons of shiftless young people who would rather hang on the corner or snatch purses than work. And why is crime so high here when jobs and free training are going begging? That sure puts the lie to that old saw that lack of jobs fuels crime. I think a bit of self-examination is in order.

You say you want to live here so bad and eat fucking tacos while the rest of us lazy shiftless minorities sit around on our patios and wait for the fucking mailman to bring us our fucking checks. Well guess what, mook? Since "Katerna", everyone who's come back has been busting "there" asses off rebuilding "there" houses without any fucking help from George Fucking Bush who is obviously your hero, as well as your intellectual superior. Ever hear of Lafcadio Hearn? You claim that you long to become a New Orleanian someday, as if, so I'm assuming you must have. Wanna know what Hearn once wrote about New Orleans, mook? "It is better to live here in sackcloth and ashes than to own the whole state of Ohio." Gee, why d'you suppose he picked Ohio? He probably got in a bar fight with your great-great-grandfather, who thought the name "Lafcadio" was Mexican and called him a wetback. I'm sorry. I take back that "fuckmook". You give fuckmooks a bad name. You're what fuckmooks scrape off the bottom of their shoes after they're done screwing us for the day. Fuck you, you fucking fuck! (okay, now exhale) Ok, here goes:
