I find it interesting though that people are saying New Orleans is now effectively a dead city, and will remain abandoned forever. Anyone heard any more on this? Cause right now I'm sceptical at best. |
:
Regardless, if a city is built over the ruins of New Orleans, even if it is still called New Orleans, all of the historic architecture will still be lost. Suck. |
The entire area is caked with raw sewage, rotting food and corpses, and chemical spills. It will cost in the hundreds of billions to make the place habitable and sanitary. Most of the people who lived there were poor anyway, now that everything is gone they have no real reason to return and probably wouldn't want to if given the chance. In my opinion New Orleans is dead, and its a horrible waste to rebuild it in the same way (they could at least move it a bit above sea level)

'Better as hell not be the Karma thing again. However, the POW abuse in Iraq deserves justification.'
Don't be Gay. If anything this is Karma for America being so f*cked up when it comes to pollution, it has nothing to do with the Browns. Hell, if anything, the Browns had some Karma kicking the sh*t out of them for being so vile and vindictive to women. 'Did you ever think that they couldn't afford to leave?' Yes. But they're poor. So i don't care. They still could've walked. Regardless, who the Hell builds a city near water? With only enough Hurricane protection to protect against Mark 3 Hurricanes. |
Let's face it. God is punishing the evil ones!
Well you're all going to burn in hell for using a computer too! [/PA] |

So, a better way to put it would be that they are getting comeuppance for being 'bad' in their previous lives. Individually. Naturally, Karma doesn't effect every event that happens in the world. Some are just chance. |
I see. That was sort of what I meant. I mean the innocents who died in Iraq. Either way, I believe whenever something bad happens, something equally good happens too.

'Individuals are affected by Karma, not entire countries, nations or peoples. Karma doesn't tend to affect people in life - it affects your next life.'
You already stated this. I chose to ignore it. This is why - 1) I believe in what goes around comes around. I've seen it happen/it's happened to me. Regardless of whether it's Karma or not. I say it is Karma. It's a more efficient explanation anyway. 2) Yes, it may not effect entire countries. But i'm over that. You should be, too. |

'I was obviously under the false impression that we use real definitions of words, and not false ones that everybody is assumed to know.'
Oh yes, i agree, but your version is long-winded. Whereas mine is to the point. F*ck somebody over and prepared to get f*cked over royally yourself. One could argue that nobody knows what Karma is, so why Bullsh*t about it being one way and not the other. America - laughs and dances with joy over Hiroshima. America - gets laughed at and danced with joy at when 9/11 happens. Random brown - beats his wife. Random brown - gets beaten and forced to sex his cell mate. There're probably more incidences of Karma swinging back around like a Boomarang razor blade noted down in history. But i'm apathetic and hate you all too much to search. |

New Orleans was constantly in a state of renovation anyway; it blows that a lot of the progress that the renovation crews made over the years was lost because of Katrina. |
Don't forget Warsaw, my dad still had to pay a tax for the reconstruction of the old city when he left Poland
|
The mayor of New Orleans has told the police out there to use force to get the survivors that dont want to evacuate out of New Orleans.
|
It's for their own safety. The amount of chemicals, sweage, disease, etc... is a major health risk. Letting the people stay, even if they're aware of the danger, will cause further problems later on. They're bound to get sick, adding to the already huge medical toll, not to mention the time it'll take man hours that will be lost on them instead of the clean up effort.
|
I don't see why they can't just warn them, then leave them. If they want to move away, then okily, help. But if they want to stay, let them stay. I'm sure the Police have more important things to do rather than help the people who don't want help.

The words 'Hurricane Katrina' makes me think Hare Krishna.
Oh yeah, floods. They iz no niec. I can hardly see why some people are staying in Nyorleens by choice. |
Hurricane Katrina > Hare Krishna. LOL.

Apparently Quentin Tarantino is going to do a film adaptation of the tragedy.
He's going to call it 'Resevoir Wogs'. *Runs away sniggering* |
:
*snickers too* |

It seems to be very stupid when viewed by the people who aren't affected, but I'm sure they must have reasons. Maybe they love their homes too much, maybe they think this whole thing'll clear up quickly, or maybe it's too late to get out. Only those folks can know for sure. *sigh* |
I think some are staying because they can't take their pets with them, which I completely understand. I'd be so devastated if I had to leave any of mine.

In all honesty, i respected America a bit more when i saw that some Americans were going back and saving some animals.
I thought that was truly nice. |

I haven't heard the word 'wog' in a long, long time. |
