It is sad that these stories don't catch any interested from the public.
I am sure if the title of the thread was "real housewives of ......." or "the bachelor/ette show" many more would have posted.
What about the soldiers coming back from Afghanistan and Delta charging them baggage fees. That greedy airline should be treating those guys like royalty.

It makes me sad to think of all the others that did not make it back. : (

Just saw the thread... sorry for the late reply... I'm definitely gonna be sending this link to my friends... @ available, as others have said, no need to get discouraged... there are some good people on here, it's just that the majority find insignificant topics so much more interesting... It's sad but that is the world we live in...

Dag I swear man, I'm like an emotional mess, stories like these always get me... It shows that there are still so many good people on this world... We get lost in the crime topics, the rudeness and desperation that many people tend to have and we forget sometimes that there are so many others that have noble intentions and want to help other people out... I hope this thread continues getting the recognition it deserves...
