Kilmer17 Posted September 24, 2004 Share Posted September 24, 2004 Being from the state that has lost hundreds of lives from these storms, I find nothing funny about this at all. In fact I find it offensive as hell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bucaro Posted September 24, 2004 Author Share Posted September 24, 2004 I live here too so if you get offended maybe you should lighten up. I live in there area that has been hit with more hurricanes than anywhere in this country and we still have a bipartisan sense of humor. I showed this to twenty co-workers all who laughed and we went through Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kilmer17 Posted September 24, 2004 Share Posted September 24, 2004 oh right. It's bipartisan to make a joke about people losing there lives. Grow up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troyster Posted September 24, 2004 Share Posted September 24, 2004 Sorry to rain on your parade: http://www.snopes.com/politics/bush/hurricane.asp Claim: Three hurricanes that hit Florida in the summer of 2004 touched only counties that voted for George Bush in the 2000 presidential election.

Bucaro Posted September 24, 2004 Author Share Posted September 24, 2004 What about bipartisan, look at a dictionary. And it is a fact of life in Florida. Just like tornados in Okl. You can't handle it move otherwise get a sense of humor and relax. Nothing we can do about it. Any Troy, that is the track of the eye. Obviously the 300 mile wide track wouldn't serve much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bucaro Posted September 24, 2004 Author Share Posted September 24, 2004 I have family members who survived the Holocaust along with my grandfather who broke up 3 camps with the Army in 44 and 45. I have heard every joke in the book and actually listened to people who claimed it never happened but I can still listen. I bet your family spent time there though "Kilmer" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troyster Posted September 24, 2004 Share Posted September 24, 2004 Who cares who has the most hurricanes? The picture and its assertion is as fake as anything from Weekly World News. Might as well post something about Elvis and the space aliens next. Sorry if I come across as harsh, but I hate fake stuff that gets passed around on the internet and gets taken as truth.

Depending of where you draw the line of where SE florida begins, but for your area it's still at 11. NC and Texas have seen more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bucaro Posted September 24, 2004 Author Share Posted September 24, 2004 Hey skins, I am talking about MY are if you include all of texas and NC that area is not very sepcified now is it. This is ridulous anyway. This was meant to be made light of not to spurn off to a who's who of hurricane disaster zones. Being from SE Fl. I thought this might be funny coming from me of all people but apparently this has done a 180 to some other ridiculous topics. My apologies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
