"I just got back from a FEMA Detainment Camp"
"I'm extremely depressed to report that things seem to only be getting sadder concerning the people so devastatingly affected by Katrina last week. Two car loads of us headed over to Falls Creek, a youth camp for Southern Baptist churches in Oklahoma that agreed to have its facilities used to house Louisiana refugees. I'm afraid the camp is not going to be used as the kind people of the churches who own the cabins believe it was going to be used. Jesse Jackson was right when he said "refugees" was not the appropriate word for the poor souls dislocated due to Katrina. But he was wrong about why it is not appropriate. It's not appropriate because they are detainees, not refugees."

1. This is a fairly tinfoily site
with some of the same people who insist that FEMA has huge concentration camps awaiting ??something evil??.

Without independent corroboration take with some salt.

2. If true, I can see why people want to stay in New Orleans.

3. OMG...Her son said, "Welcome to Krakow and I say
he's not far off with that remark! THAT is unfuckingbelievable! 2 meals a day? No one is allowed to leave? If they leave, they can never return? No cooking? Men and women are separated? What if they're married and have a family? WTF? OMG...we have to stop these people. That looks and FEELS like a concentration camp. DISGUSTING!

4. Oh, I hope not!
When I was a kid me and my friends went to Falls Creek every year while I was in high school.

Yeah, I know southern baptist thing...but we had a blast with volleyball, softball, cutting up, staying up late at night...it was great. A few of us cut the worship services on a regular basis. Got caught smoking behind one of the cabins.

I've got great memories of driving the couselor and preacher nuts. He was a good guy, too.

I loathe the idea of it being turned into something like that.
