RE: Well... I hate to say it, but I guess that's what they get for putting a city at the bottom of a pit surrounded by bodies of water. Hey asshole, when they built the city there were acres of wetlands between N.O. and any potential hurricane. Those were eroded by people putting up levees. The city had almost no protection when the hurricane smacked into it. The conditions there were far different when they originally located and built the city.
RE: take it back. he is not an asshole I don't know where you come from and I don't particularly care. A place which is VERY VERY dear to me is under hundreds of thousands of gallons of water. People who I hung around with and were cool to me are either miles away from their homes having fled at little notice, homes which no longer exist, mourning the loss of everything - or God knows where - at best stifling in the Superdome trying not to notice overflowing toilets, stifling heat etc. or at worst being carjacked and mugged by packs of looters, as dozens of corpses that used to be living breathing human beings float by. So when I hear some little girly looking toerag snarking "nyah nyah nyah more fool you" - that kind of comment is from an asshole.
His words imply otherwise. Tell you what - when somewhere near and dear to you gets hit by a natural disaster and friends of yours are rendered homeless with all their goods and pets destroyed - and when other friends of yours might be dead.... I'll make a statement to the effect of "that's what you get for..." and see how appropriate you consider it, alright? Grow up a little. He may be your friend but he's still an asshole.
Dont you hate it when you go to piss and your going commando today for some reason. But you didnt know it. Its just a suprise. Its like when your going to take a swig of coffee. And you think its coffee. But its orange juice. And it freaks you out at first becuase you were expecting coffee. It really makes me question reality and how perspective influences it. Like someone who knows that its orange juice wouldnt have the same experince as someone who thinks that it is coffee becuase it isnt a suprise to them. They have a different experience even though their actions are the same. Becuase of their mind set. What else does my mind influence in my world. Like how many things are different then I think they are. And what will happen to me when I realize these things? Im going to stop thinking now. Sorry for putting this in a thread about other stuff, my mind just leaked all over the fora. I got a bandaid on it now. So its good.
man, forget comparing it to any other tramatic event...those peoples live just got smacked around with extreme prejudice. I hope all friends are OK Iron Goth.
Maybe you two need to be stranded in water up to your waste, homeless and sick... That's just bullshit, you guys.
Thing is, I don't know. And there's no way to truly find out. Those I do know about have lost EVERYTHING. But I guess it's what they deserved, right?
RE: ok actully i have family in new orleans and i no what it feels like Then, O 15 year old one, you have a very strange definition of "asshole".
Didn't meant to offend, was a simple opinion... What I was getting at is that the city approves the layout and nobody can really help it, it's nobody's fault, but they could have at least planned it a little more practically. My great aunt is missing at the moment (She's in her 70s and is a diabetic...) and two cousins of mine are homeless, their car was washed off of I-10 when they ran out of gas and I'm on the phone with them right now.
