Evenbob taking delight is some misery or other? ]


I wouldn't call it delight.. Shadenfreude maybe,
not delight..

I have a cruise booked that is supposed to stop in St. Thomas and St. Maarten. It is still months off but I'm guessing the itinerary will change.

German Schadenfreude (“joy in the misfortune of others”), from Schaden (“damage, misfortune”) + Freude (“joy”).

It's complicated, most people feel it about
some things, like sports teams or political
figures. I like this definition:

Schadenfreude: the reaction of relief we feel when something bad happens to someone else instead of to us

Like when the blizzard passes you and hits
3 states away.

That is a softer definition, but unfortunately I think most people use a harder meaning.

This character is not feeling relief, but rather outright glee.

Apparently the island of Barbuda was almost wiped clean.


The eye went right over the island. It also went right over Saint Martaan. Right now it is predicted to go directly across the Florida Keys.

I don't know how those bridges are going to hold up.

Hurricane Jose is going to bash the leeward islands again this weekend. Only 4 days after Irma.

Today Rush was telling people to
get 100 ziplock gallon bags and
fill them 80% with tap water and
put in the deep freeze. Or boxes.
You'll have plenty of drinking water
and it cost you 5 bucks. The MSM
will twist this, wait and see,


Wasn't Rush saying Irma was all hype by the left to promote the "climate change agenda?" That hurricanes are "fake news?"

LOL

Just read Rush is gonna get hit hard by Irma and is evacuating.

Now THAT is schadenfreude!!!!

Go back further
Boston was almost destroyed by looters
Mostly white Irish.


Not far back enough.

1) Africa was looted out off a significant part of its population to feed the white race's need for slaves.

2) Africa was then looted off resources, labor and crops by these same white race for several decades.

3) Concurrent with one, the whites looted resources, lands and crops from the Americas.

Worst looters ever. I'd keep an eye on them.
