  • Uhhh They're a business

    They're a business, they make money............is this a surprise? What do you want? Buildings? No one else did anything! Tents aren't good enough?

    Also, Over a 100k to risk your life is not a lot.

    Ungrateful.

  • Jeremy definately ...

    Jeremy definately loves the sound of his own voice, as if he doesnt have anything else to do but blast Blackwater for earning more money than he does. So they're doing humanitarian aid, its a good thing, protesting about them isnt going to end the company.

    This is the doodle brain who wanted them to come there in the first place. And the stuff they say it won't cost comes from contracts with the feds and CA paid by taxpayers, it's not free! Stop drinking the kool aid.
