New Orleans is sinking (OFFICAL THREAD)

[Goat]

1. Glad I don't live near an ocean frequented by hurricanes.
2. Glad I don't live in a city 2 ft below the water level.

3.

There are people just taking potshots at police and at helicopters, telling them, 'You better come get my family."'

Sad but funny. Nothing says, "Rescue me!" like shooting would be helpers.

4. Shitty deal in general.

I've been saying this for a while, now!

Sorry, but I really can't expend a whole lot of pity on these 'tards.

The Yanks seem to have a predisposition for inviting "disaster".

They always have, do so, and, as stated above, probably will continue to put themselves in danger.

I mean, they built N.O on land that is _below Sea level_ fer chryssakes! They've openly pondered "what would happen when the Big One hits".

Then the dumb fucks stand around, all shocked and distraught, once the inevitable has happened.

Fault lines? Put a toxic industrial area there! Tornado alley? Open up _another_ trailer park! Flood plain? LET'S BUILD A CITY!

Right , because they require Nike's, NFL Jerseys and stereo equipment to survive.

I think it's pathetic that people involved with such desperation are willing to take advantage of eachother like they are.

People suck.

I dunno....

Maybe it's dinner time, or all is good, or people are all dead, or folks are tired and gone to bed, but, there's absolutely NOTHING on the airwaves that I'm getting for the last 10 minutes. (Yes, 10.)

modern cities tend to have been built for their proximity to natural resources or trade routes, something tells me the french who settled in louisiana had no idea what the fuck a sea level was.

this is hardly an american phenomenon. look at richmond.

Ditchmond is NOT where you want to be when the Big Jiggle happens, here!

The soil is going to liquify, and everything is going to sink!

...and that's _before_ the sea comes pouring in....

Perhaps we understand a little more about human nature as a result. Bear in mind that those who are taking advantage of others are likely those who have been taken advantage of most pre-Katrina.

what about the ppl that are looting stores in search of food and water? why should they be penalized? are they supposed to starve until they get supplies from relief funds?

ARe those people paying for this food. No they are just taking it at the stroe owners dime. Yeah most will be probley covered by insurnce but it is still stealling none the less.

so products being wasted by being submerged in water than letting needy ppl have it is ok?
sure its stealing, yes, but why be so wasteful and let ppl starve than let ppl have it or distribute it out?
its not like those businesses are going to be in business next week, or even next month.

how do you suggest a police force made up of officers cut off from communication with HQ, posiibly injured, probably cold wet and hungry themselves, tell the 'i want a playstation' people in Wallmart from the 'i want bread and water' people.

tell the ppl that want to steal the playstation "good luck plugging it in and using it without electricity".

I don't know what your talking about, everyone knows that Saddam ordered this terrorist attack on the US from his jail cell. :)
