The Hurricane Katrina thread

[Dr. Blutarsky]

New Orleans, Mississippi and Alabama coasts have been absolutely devistated. I have not even heard a word from any other countries on this. You would think this catastrophe would even be acknowledged by other countries considering the billions of dollars the US sends abroad to help with disasters (Tsunami Relief, famine in Africa, etc).

yup chances are no you wont see anything..... the areas your talking about that a tonne of aid goes too.... they are third world..... they cant rebuild without outside help..... and if the US can wage a war in another country and try and rebuild that.... they can afford to rebuild the coast of its own country.... its a cold hard fact jack....... and im sure W. aint going looking for international aid either.....

[gilld1]

Mexico is sending us plenty of workers to come and clean up the mess.  They must have excellent hurricane forcasts inMexico because these workers ahve ben showing up by the thousands for years now!!

well, its not because a country is not poor that it doesnt get help.
sure the US wont get money, but they could get firefighters, workers and stuff from other countries
that's how it goes in europe, when a country is devastated by some incident, the other countries send help (in terms of workforce)

but, i dont see european countries sending people across the ocean ... even if i'd like to go to the New Orleans - maybe its better than the old one -

We dont need anybodys help. In times of tragedy, the U.S. always stands alone. But you would think that other countries would at least acknowledge the disaster. Its shameful. Maybe Bush should turn on HAARP and whip up a few hurricanes and some typhoons and send them to various spots on the globe. Maybe even a decent sized tsunami. Then ignore the catastrophes. It would be fair play.

Hasn't Europe been experiencing floods n' shit for the whole summer? I know Romania has been hit with tons of rain and floods for almost a year.
The hurricane shit in the States is horrible, but it's nowhere near the same scope of the asian tsunami.

wht the hell do you expect... its not even a political statement... its a fair assment.. if the US asked for help you would get help for this..... wed laugh if you asked for money...... but if you asked for man power im sure you would get it..........but he wont ask in teh current climate.. it would be sucide now... it would show weakness on th part of him not being able to have feet on the ground to do teh job at home..... its a fair assment...IMO. granted you may look at it and say christ here he goes again on the political side of things...... why is he doing that?...... hell id all most put money on the fact that the "federal" US goverment will not aske for outside assistance...... state side.... well thats usually where teh asking comes from... and that woud not surprise me... and they would get what tehy needed short of money.... besides with all that oil reserve sitting idle... it wont take long for teh pinch to be put to get everything up and running....

Your post could be used as a great example of how ignorant some people are....?

Good one, Jarmo. Instead of offering condolences to the people suffering in that region, you insult the american in this thread. You proved my point.

I lived in MS. for two years, and I know how it feels there when hurricanes fuckin slam the coast. I REALLY feel for the people who have had their home devastated by Katrina. I wouldn't like to live in New Orleans, Mobile, Biloxi, Gulfport or any other place on the Gulf Coast right now.

New Orleans is my favorite place in the States so I will surely help by sending money via the Red Cross or something as soon as I can. My heart is with the people right now in the Superdome and those who can't even go back to their place because they can't even go back to their city. It must suck big time. This was like a tsunami for MS. and LA.

As far as other countries go, no I don't think they will send money or whatever, because it's not exactly the same situation as the tsunamis in Southeast Asia. I guess most governments will suppose the US can take care of this, just like they did with past hurricanes like Ivan. I'm not saying this is a good thing or anything, this is how I think they see the situation right now, but I could be wrong and maybe they're gonna send money and aid over there.

What do you expect when you make a post like that? What point? Insulted the American?

You insulted the rest of the world in a thread about a natural disaster. You had to make it about "USA vs the rest". Pathetic!



I feel bad for anybody who suffers due to natural disters, hunger, war, terror attacks etc.

RACAS (AFP) - Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez offered to send food and fuel to the United States after the powerful Hurricane Katrina pummeled the US south, ravaging US crude production.

I love the irony.  I'd gladly accept a Pat Robertson for food/oil trade.

Secondly, its unfortunate that half the Louisiana national guard is preoccupied halfway around the world at the time of the state's greatest need.

[Dr. Blutarsky]

Ok there`s a start. Maybe Chavez isn`t as evil as some would make him out to be.

Ok there`s a start. Maybe Chavez isn`t as evil as some would make him out to be.

Or its just good press.  I'm curious to see if any of our celebrities, who are so anxious to help out with the issues in other countries will come through on this one.  And I don't mean with "benefit" concerts.  I want them to give cash.  It annoys me to see people with millions telling me that I should donate money.

But I have to confess that its hard to be anxious to help when you see all those losers looting and shooting at the police and stuff.  They don't deserve to live, let alone get donations.  But they will.  People like that know how to work the system.

Well, because our standing in the world is probably turned down a notch or two after Iraq.

But if it makes you feel better Chavez is offering cheap oil to help us out.

Where in this post (below) is your condolences to the victims?

Rather you wish tragedy on another group of people....is that your way of posting a condolence for the victims in New Orleans?

I mean look at this trash you wrote....

 People read that crap and think we all are like that, you fuckin' asshole. People died up there and all you jerks can do is start the hate game towards the rest of the world.

And you wonder why nobody likes our ass? Idiot!

If someone is looting high end electronics, thats one thing, but when you have no food or water and the only way to get it is to steal it before someone else does before it spoils, what choice do you have?
