"Hope Floats" - A Song for Minot's Flood Fight 2011

[emmybird100]

Please don't use the word 'retard' as an insult the way y'all have been :( It's offensive AND makes you sound incredibly ignorant.

[jimbobanalbeats]

This song is god awful, but its heart is in the right place.

I didn't realize how much I agree with you, Mat. There's nothing quite as awesome as having a fight occur in your youtube video comments.

[MrLukec16]

Probably less than 4 hours. He turns out songs like a madman.

[ebensteiner]

I thought it was pretty good shouldn't judge someone elses creativity if you don't contribute. not from Minot but thought the kid really put himself out there by sharing his feelings.

[mattaleshire17]

This song was put together in 24 hours. And you can tell.

[ploope]

@mattaleshire17 Put together in 4 hours, actually. At least this guy wrote his own music and didn' t go run to some cheesy Christian song.

Politics are politics. Eventually every government runs itself into the ground. The question is not whether Democrats or Republicans can save the US, but which side can make the inevitable come more slowly.

[talk2cyndi1]

One person has no heart for their suffering brothers & sisters. So sad : (

[bearlooter]

I HOPE MINOT GETS FLUSHED FROM THE MAP,vOTE REPUBLICAN AGAIN RETARDS, DONT BE ASKING FOR ANY HANDOUTS NOW THAT YOU VOTED AGAINST THEM SO MANY TIMES

[jmeleestag]

@bearlooter -Thanks for the kind words of advice. I hope that when you have a time in need that someone is there for you, even if you might not agree with them. Your status makes me sad and I hope that you are able to find it in your heart to see that peoples lives will be forever changed. But even with arrogant people like you, the people in Minot will survive. That's with or without your help. God Bless.

[safarigoo]

@bearlooter You know, you might have a point if the majority of these people werent hard working americans that have never asked for anything before. But they are, so you dont really know what the fuck you're talking about. They arent worthless hippies like yourself.

[StigmataWolf]

@safarigoo I'm in Minot, from Burlington. He said vote republican, so saying "worthless hippies" makes no sense. I consider myself a modern hippie, and they certainly aren't worthless. You need to think before you speak as much as anyone else. Though I don't like most of the people in Minot I don't wish this to be happening, even if I weren't affected. And all the same, Bearlooter is an asshole, a loser, AND an idiot, considering Minot is largely conservative.

[safarigoo]

@StigmataWolf "I HOPE MINOT GETS FLUSHED FROM THE MAP,vOTE REPUBLICAN AGAIN RETARDS"

Thanks for your input, but you're wrong. Read his quote more carefully. He didn't say vote Republican, as in thats what they should do..... He called everyone in Minot a retard for voting republican. His statement is anti-republican. He is obviously angry that republicans voted against handouts, so this leads me to believe he is one of the worthless hippies that expect everything for nothing.

[StigmataWolf]

@safarigoo Excuse you again. Hippies are about the ol' peace and love, not laziness. I have a great work ethic, am in no way promiscuous and have never taken a single illegal drug in my life, or tobacco. I am as much of one as any other. Every other hedonistic choice is up to the individual and has no bearing on the definition. His comment really makes no sense, since the only "them" he can be referring to is republicans, as if Minot voted against them, yet we aren't to expect handouts even

[safarigoo]

@safarigoo To make you feel better, I will refer to bearlooter as a liberal douchebag instead of hippie.

[StigmataWolf]

@safarigoo Okay, makes sense that way, although it is still typed in a most ridiculous fashion. There are ways to make sarcasm carry across on the internet, and they're obviously too stupid to do it even though it's exeedingly simple. They could have said "voteD for reps again, retards. <-- PERIOD" or "Good job retards, you voted republican again!" but no. We still are largely conservative so again, ultra retard. "We've", we have, as in the majority of Minot. lol Liberal douchebag is better.

[StigmataWolf]

@safarigoo There are plenty of douchebags on both sides so that's at least accurate. I prefer the term 'retard' myself.

[StigmataWolf]

@safarigoo though we've supposedly voted democrat. That's what happens when retards type like retards.

[safarigoo]

@StigmataWolf What? who is "we've"? And yes, I agree, bearlooter is a retard.

[jenikfer]

@bearlooter um, basically we really aren't getting much of anything...we tried to save our homes and town, many people have been working non-stop for days and weeks, helping their neighbors, NOT LOOTING and sitting on their A****. We still haven't given up, and are still working to save homes and businesses....we aren't freeloaders and don't expect a handout, just a helping hand...and thank you to the Guard and Minot AFB and volunteers working so hard to help us...we appreciate it.

[safarigoo]

@jenikfer Yeah, @bearlooter seems to have the hardworking respectable town of Minot confused with the shithole that is New Orleans.

[iamachildofChrist]

its hard having to evacuate and i wish i could go home but its amazing to see how everyone is coming together to help

[doomedamerica]

[theairforcewifey]
