Maybe it's because I rely on CNN for my news but how come the California Wildfires, in which more property than people are being harmed, get so much more coverage than the Typhoon in Bangladesh? Money, that's why. Rich people buying property on land ready to collapse or near woods that burn down every year don't pluck at my heartstrings. Oh no! Matthew Mcconaughey had to evacuate? Good, I'm glad. I hate these nitwits, their house burns down every few years and what do they do? THEY REBUILD IN THE SAME ******* AREA! And they can because they are all rich, have fire insurance policies that apparently do get voided if you live in a high risk area. Gee I wonder if the Katrina victims have that kind of insurance? Oh yeah I forgot most of those poor people are uninsurable because of where they live.

It's like the people you see crying on TV when thier home in Hawaii is now under ten feet of lava. What did you expect? You built your house next to a volcano. I have no sympathy for the likes of you - you rich people can just buy new stuff and move into a new home. What about the people still living in FEMA trailers? What about the people in Bangladesh that have no choice but to live on a flood plain and continue to get washed out yearly? I don't see Anderson Cooper flying to Asia to talk to them, Come to think of it I also don't see him talking to the Katrina victims anymore either. Must not be profitable...

Not to mince words - I hate rich people. How can I feel bad or even relate to someone that lives in a McMansion in a wildfire zone, that buys a cellphone for their 4 year old, that has a fleet of SUVs in the driveway but talks about living "green", someone that can actually justify buying an item of clothing that costs hundreds of dollars but only cents for some Asian or Latin child to make?

For all of the readers out there not from the US - these are the people you hate when you say you hate Americans. Most of the regular people in the US are just like you, trying to eek out a living the best way they know how. But it is these people who you see on the news, satirized on our tv shows and then they come to your country and complain that nobody speaks english that you really hate. But don't worry - we hate them too!
