Practically any area you choose to live in has its own natural disasters. Hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes, volcanos, floods, landslides, droughts, fires, etc. I guess it's stupid to live everywhere!Originally Posted by Cleveland

No true....some places are alot safer than others.Originally Posted by Almaa
Michigan is not well known for hurricanes, tornados, tsunamis, volcano's, locust plagues, etc. Nor is Ohio.
Sure things can happen....but its a hell of a lot safer than living in a city below sea level that also happens to be dead center on every Gulf hurricane's flight path.

Anyway, so what do you suggest? Everyone move to Michigan? There's not enough space. Houston, 4th largest city in the nation, has 6 million people living in it or its surrounding areas, are all those people stupid too? Houston gets hit by hurricanes, tornadoes, bad floods, then the next week there will be a drought and fire warnings. People aren't stupid for living somewhere that a natural disaster can happen (anywhere), they may be stupid if they don't leave when they know one is coming.
Whats funny is that probably half of you bitches complaining probably live such a blessed life that you dont realize bad shit can happen to you regarldess of your intentions. And the dumb fuck who mentioned taxes is classic... Do you know how many fucked up things politicians that YOU ELECT do with your tax money?
You dont. Even if you did you probably wouldnt do or say a damned thing about it cause these guys must have good intentions, give me a fucking break. There are millions and millions of tax dollars that are wasted every single year and your bitching about this? Cry me a fucking river for all you know the money they are taking out of your taxes are being used to benefit you, the thing is, you dont know jack shit you just like to bitch.
Break the fucking bubble you constructed around yourself and your little worlds.
lol yes because I really believe you're living in some ghetto with internet access playing FFXI and posting on a forum!Originally Posted by Klever

Pot meet kettle. I never mentioned anything about your color of skin. Weren't we talking about pulling the race card constantly? lolfact. And Yes Black people = ghetto because they BE FROM DE GHETTO YO.Originally Posted by Klever
Maybe it's where I was from, but people would think it was "cool" to be ghetto...
I'm not sure where this happened (maybe chicago since i heard it on a chicago radio station), but a reknowned gang leader, Tiki (something: can't remember his last name) was charged and found guilty for killing 3 people a few years ago. He also put together a huge gang ring that had killed a lot more innocent people. While he was in prison the dude wrote some children's book with a bunch of pictures and whatever. Well recently a few celeberties (I think kanye west or someone) have been rallying for his release, however the courts aren't budging.
Guess what card these people are playing.
YOU GUYS ARE RACIST.
I mean come on, the dude ***murdered*** 3 people and caused the death of so many others. He's currently on death row and I hope the sentence goes through and he gets what he deserves.
do you fucking think before you post? Do you know me? Let me tell you my story of how my life was fucked up years in the past from a natural disaster. Have you ever heard of the northridge earthquake fucker? My house was destroyed, and my family almost lost practicaly EVERYTHING. We where moments away from backruptcy from the loss and through it all the us government did nothing. but you didnt hear us in that area screaming the race card every time we needed help. You are such a fucking waste of sperm, your mother should have drowned you and sold the milk.Originally Posted by Klever
Second dont assume i dont know what happenes with my tax dollars. I know there is tons of money wasted in this government and it infuriates me. We waste so much money in this country it makes me sick. But the point remains the same, these stupid fucks who chose not to leave are now playing the race card to get help. But its ok, the lady who bought a louie baton (however you spell it) purse with money which was supposed to go to food, was completely justified to buy that.
You fail to look at what these ppl have done to make everyone hate them. do you even read the news? the government was paying for hotel rooms for ppl to stay in after the disaster. one family the wife had a room which everyone stayed in. her time runs out and gets kicked out of her room. she walks across the damn hall into her husbands room where they still have time left. my question is why the fuck does one family need 2 hotel rooms which the us government has to pay for? you dont think they where double dipping on the government funds? its been long enough that these lazy fucks go back and move into their homes.
Or maybe you should go help the couple who got everything stolen out of their house 2 days after they invited a family from new orleans to stay with them to help them out. Or maybe you should tell all the store owners to keep their prices lower bc its ok that while the city was flooded ppl could steal their products WHEN THEY SHOULD HAVE BEEN EVACUATING THE CITY. Those are the ppl i dont want to pay for, but in the end treehuggers like you feel that those ppl who didnt leave bc they where stealing deserve money also. But you know what, you are correct, i need to spend government money on fuckers who have no respect for anyone around them. Point is you dont fucking think. You just spout out your nonsense. cry me a fucking river, at least im smart enough to leave if i had warning of a natural disaster.
i guess you are one of those ppl who also think its society's fault for the way african american children are being raised up huh.....
you are just another american who cant take responsiblity for their actions, just like the stupid fucks who didnt leave when told to.
Not everyone has the ability to return home. Their is no flood insurance for renters for instance. Also some of the worst hit areas are just now getting power back on and sewer and water hooked up as well.
FEMA trailers are coming in but slowly.
Also to whomever posted that NOLA is dead center in every hurricane path you could not be further from the truth. I have lived here for 25 years now and we have never had a direct hit. Even Katrina was not a direct hit.
I guess I am one of the lucky ones. I had family to go to and the means to get there. My company was absolutely wonderful and set me and the rest of my office up in apartments accross the US from Tampa Bay to Los Angeles. Many of "Those people" as you describe them were not so lucky. They worked crappy jobs and live paycheck to paycheck.
Evacuation orders came way too late and many people were forced to stay. Many more turned back when faced with the traffic. (I left at 4am Saturday and it took me 4 hours to make what is normally a 45 minute trip.) One of my co-workers spent 5 hours to go about 30 miles before she turned around and came back. She had to be picked up off of her roof by helicopter.
The mass transit down here sucks. So people that need to evacuate that have no car are screwed.
Also your point about the money supposed to go toward food it incorrect. Those were seperate balances. FEMA bascially just deposited money into the bank account you gave them to do whatever with. Food stamp cards were also available but this could not be used to purchase a designer purse. Not defending the purchase of a $1000 purse just pointing out that it wouldn't be food money.
As to the issue of 2 hotel rooms my question would be to ask how many family members there were that were living there. I am willing to bet that there was more than just the husband and wife. I also fail to see how them needing a hotel room means that they have no respect for those around them. Were they trashing the hotel rooms or something?
Furthermore you also alude to it that you would be smart enough to leave if there was a warning of a natural disaster. Clearly you do not live along the Gulf Coast. Hurricanes are just something that you have to deal with. They are very unpredictable and often even if you aren't in the direct path you can still get damage. If you were to leave everytime your area was in the warning zone you would litterally be evacuating every 3-4 weeks.
rahvin all your bitching doesnt prove a single point other than your a racist bitch. All you basically said was that SOME of the people made bad decisions, but you lump them alltogether because you are a SMALL MINDED, INSECURE little bitch.
Seriously what other person than a little fag like you would care what happens with the money WHEN YOU STILL DIDNT ANSWER MY MAIN QUESTION. You blew it off cause I blew a hole through your entire racist point. FACT OF THE MATTER IS: There are politicians spending the money much worse than some random PPL in Louisiana but you havent said a god damn thing.
You mention, it infuriates you, but you cant do anything about it... EXACTLY. You cant do anything to stop it so your just fucing OK with it, and you just focus all your bitchy little anger on people who arent wasting millions but thousands, god you make me fucking sick how ignorant you are.
You are the epitome of the US ignorance that everyone in everyother country but ours acknowledges. You turn a blind eye to the rich white men commitning crimes with your tax money but when some poor black people do it... CALL THE FUCKING PAPERS OMG BLACK PEOPLE SPENDING MONEY POOORLY! Do you see how fucking stupid you are? You only complain about this because your a secret racist and you were just waiting for an excuse to spew all this hatred out your faggot-ass mouth.
Hey, I think that the Trapped in Jail Thread was derailed using such a method also, calling someone Racist, but also using discriminatory language about Homosexuals to do it.Originally Posted by Klever

Ive already explain racism and being gay are 2 diffrent things... One is in your brain the other is your skin color something you have 0 choice about. Im sorry you look at it diffrent.
You are calling out someone else's discrimination using discrimination of your own =/Originally Posted by Klever
You think that because you think people are born gay. I don't. No one is born gay it's a choice they make somewhere consciously or subconciously, that's it.Originally Posted by Kuponut
Now when you rag on someone who is born the way they are, that is truely fucked up. Your are born black, japanese, white, mexican, etc.
Sorry you look at the word fag as discriminatly, I don't. I used to think like you when I thought people were born gay, but then I realized later in life everyone in this world is born with a few programmed things in them that are the same, and that's it.
By your own self-admition your saying that gay people are born diffrently then everyone else, which I think is 100% wrong. No one is born diffrent, and thats true discriminitation that you think we are. Comedy.
You just hold onto the same core beliefs alot of "liberals" do about homosexuality, like I said I used to do the same, but I dont any longer. I saw beyond what is being told by you by the liberal and rightwing media, cause those idiots arent any closer either.
Just because people are able to decide that they might want to make love to someone of the same sex, doesn't mean that everyone who is attracted to the same sex made that decision. People are capable of choices, that's true. I can't really think of a good example to use at the moment...Originally Posted by Klever
But, discrimination is a terrible thing, no matter who the person being discriminated against is, there is no justification for it.
I dont think you understand what Im saying...
Are you saying some have a choice to be gay and others are born gay?
I didn't choose to be gay, but for as far back as I can remember I have always thought of boys.
There is no choosing to be gay..
Don't get me wrong though.. I <3 Being gay ^^
Being gay is God's way of making sure the truely gifted arent burdened with children.
