another hurricane...

[RichieTBaum]

This is total BS. What has just happened to New Orleans has been predicted for a long time.

You're exactly right.

And cableguy, I agree with you about the international aspects.

Here's a solid opinion piece: http://billmon.org/archives/002120.html

Tex,

I hope the family is OK but I don't agree that those of us "sitting on the sidelines" should shut up. Primarily because all of us in the US are going to wind up paying for this. Since I'm paying for this, there is no way that I will shut up. If you can find some way to make sure that the rest of us don't pay for this, I'll be more than happy to shut up.

hahahah i totally thought of that right away (a few days ago) but I wasn't brave enough to mention it :lol:

 

[KABOOM]

You know singhr, that was really low and in very, very bad taste. How would you like it if someone made a joke about a natural disaster in Canada, where a family member like say, you mom, died in. How would you feel? If you have a soul, (which sometimes I doubt), you would feel very bad. Just think of that. (As I write this, I realize singhr is an RM, and that makes me want to shove a spoon up my ass, since he is an RM for making posts basically making fun of people and destroying peoples opinions. Nice example for the noobs cman.)


TO the rest of the internet: I know this is the internet and their should be no fighting or name-calling. (insert Special Olympics pic) But I feel this had to be said after such a horrible disaster and SO soon after it. It was in poor taste. And I am not surprised it came from that poster.

 

[Reverend James]

You beat me to it, Kaboom. Fucking grow-up and get a soul, man.

 

[Conman]

And still no word from Gator? Who else was in NO?

Now that you mention it, they actually did write a song about the Quebec Ice Storm too. (Something On)

By the way, "New Orleans Is Sinking" was written in the late 1980s, well before any recent event. I think it may have had something to do with war, like the Civil War or something, based on the lyrics.

 

[Conman]

People are dying, lost and in need. And this is the best we can do.

packs up and walks out of this thread in disgust ....

*AHEM* I did do something, thank you very much.

Also, don't get over emotional now. Obviouisly it was a tragedy, but the thing that pisses me off the most in the entire world is people overreacting and foretelling the end of the world based on one single event. I'm sure people will do all they can and everything will be fixed eventually.

*COUGH 911 COUGH*

 

[KABOOM]

I was not forecasting the end of the world. Nor are many people. We are saying that there will be a big change in the US, and it will have repercussions elsewhere.

Yeah, offering porn for money for the disaster. People should be able to give money without any other incentive than knowing they are helping people. That's real good. You probably donated just so you could get some virtual pussy.

Fucking understatement of the year!
Leave it to a Canadian.

Sorry Rev., I know not all Canadian are dumbasses, but it's people like Cman and Singr that give Canucks a bad name.

 

[IHateHonda]

This got rediculous really fast

How can you people seriously sit there and laugh at what is going on? What cause it doesnt involve you or because you guys just dont have any heart in ya at all?

So your saying the Kaboom is over reacting? What about all the people down there crying and fearing the worst who cant make it out of thier damn home state due to the flooding and lack of transportation, are they over reacting? Speaking of 9/11, are the familes of lost loved ones over reacting everytime the anniversary comes around and they are reminded of the terrible tragedy and how they can never see thier loved ones again? Is that over reacting? What about that mother whos son was killed in Iraq, camping out in front Of Bush's place trying to get answers as to why her son is dead...is that over reacting? What has to happen for people to not make fun of something for once? Thousands of lives will never be the same, and what do you do.. write and laugh about a song that pretty much was ment to poke fun at the terrible situation.

Sorry.... Im over reacting

Cough

 

[Cman]

YOU'RE ALL FUCKING BANNED! :twisted:

The only person I said was overreacting was Conman and he's not even American.

I don't know what you people honestly expect people to do over the internet, which is why it shouldn't really even be a serious topic on the internet itself.

If i was there in person, then sure, I would lend a hand, I do feel sorry for the people, particularly the couple people I personally know.

The problem is I'm not there, I'm thousands of miles away, so short of donating a few bucks to the Red Cross or something, there isn't much I can do.

 

[monkeyman]

I guess I underestimated the power of a hurricane. I was in Florida last year in Miami for the three hurricanes that hit. I didn't think it was a big deal. But after seeing this destruction in New Orleans and the other cities or states, I am kind of shocked. The whole city looks like it is going to have to be rebuilt and yes us American citizens are going to have to pay for the reconstruction. The donations made or not made by the other countries was actually the last thing from my mind however it is just messed up that every other country expects us to be the leading donator in every disaster. But it is definetly the wrong time to be making jokes about the situation because no matter what you hope this never happens to you. I am also pretty sure that the US would back up Canada in pretty much any messed up situation. So I hope everyone that was effected can at least find their way back to some type of normal life especially those who have to start all over again.

 

[monkeyman]

One more thing. The worst part of this situation is those damn looters and snipers and all of them stupid stupid people causing trouble to the rescuers. Now when someones trying to help, I think it is kind of messed up that these people do these things. Its a shame that they are causing more problems for the thousands who actually need help. These thousands then go on to blame the government because they have no idea what is going on. Its chaos and I don't know when this is going to be over.

 

[singhr]

You know singhr, that was really low and in very, very bad taste.

Oh lighten up people. No one cares about the people in the middle east that get blown to bits everyday. All people do is complain about how bad muslims are etc.

I didn't write the song, I just quoted it.

I love starting shit... especially since it's so easy to do it here. its so much fun! :lol:

I am not surprised it came from that poster.

Yeah I know.... I'm the Exp0sed asshole.... and dammit I'm proud of my title :lol:

<waiting for rebuttle... I know someone will >

Damn right someone will. For once in your life have an opinion that doesn't involve the Middle East. I've listened to your bs for along time and have not said a word because I'm a mod and that's what I do.

Here's what you need to do. Pack up your shit and head down to Crawford Texas. That way you and Cindy Sheehan can sit in lawn chairs and yell how it's the President's fault the hurricane hit.

You two could live delusionally ever after.

 

[The Crusher]

Supafly, it's not Bush's fault that the hurricane hit. It's his fault that he's clueless and doesn't know how to run the country. And by the way, where the fuck is Vice President Dick Cheney? Has anyone seen or heard from him? WTF?

My point is this isn't about the Fucking President or politics or the war in fucking Iraq but some people have to make it that way. Thousands of people are dead. I go to New Orleans every year. and actually was suppose to be married there soon. It is a shell of it's fomer self. Might as well be a third world county.

Set aside youre god damn agenda's and have some respect.
