Ummmm.... There are plenty of good citizen in New Orleans that used that money in the right way. New Orleans has been one of the poorest cities in america for a very long time. Have respect for humanity and realize that some doesn't equal all. Thousands of people died that week during the hurricane, actually triple the amount that died on 9-11. There were also plenty of 9-11 victims, victims family who used the government's money for shitty things. Will you talk shit and say why should we care about the victims of 9-11? So when you say "why Should we give a shit", we should care because of the people who past away because of slow government response time.

Well one thing you can say is that ignorance runs in all flavors. In the 9/11 deal people that received money did things equally stupid, like the lady who spent all her money on plastic surgery because she was grieving. When the big floods hit the midwest. You had ignorant hicks buying booze and moonshine by the caseloads. And adding jacuzzis in their double wide trailers.

So your correct statement should be, "I am helping no one when a disaster strikes". Because the ignorance flows in all directions.

But I do agree that people did do some stupid shit with their money. but there are some that didnt. I am from there and my cousins and aunts stayed with me for a bit when the projects I grew up in got destroyed (9th ward). They used their money to get a spot, get a little car and my oldest cousin got into school. So your tax dollars did help some. And I appreciate it because it was my family that got helped. Also that grant helped bury my good friends Dad. So again I appreciate it. As with any mass relief you are going to have some abuse. But it takes a real simple minded person to not understand that.

It actually goes a bit deeper than, that. Just leaving. Easy to say, but hard to do. See it isnt like the Oakland hills where you have Police coming up there to facilitate a hillside fire and getting people safely out. That wasnt an option there. What the media doesnt show or talk about is how they shut down main accesses due to the mass exodus creating a serious bottleneck. And as with any mass movement there is always heightened tension, frustration and crime. There was no police involvement until the news showed up (national news). By that time shit was in such a dis-array, it was hard to get a handle on it. The shit had really hit the fan. Then you go to deal with the fact that most of these people are poor, and impoverished and now they are losing the only stuff they have, which at times isnt much which makes it worse. And to make matters worse there was death in the air, fear, anger...ever extreme emtion you can think of. Things arent always so clear cut as what they present on the news for your edification. I actually went down there and witnessed the aftermath. I actually saw the strife. Saw the reaction of family and talked to them. And it is a bit different than what was played on the news. I tell ya it changed my whole life, in how I view my relationship with family God and how I treat others. I also saw how the relief was helping. So best believe while some money was wasted, alot of it did help. And they way I feel about it. If it helped one family then it was worth it. Because your tax dollar would have went somewhere else more frivolous like a war we cant win. Now go run somewhere and talk shit on that. That is something you should whine about.

WTF is meant by that? Let's get the poor minority out of today's society? If that is what you meant by that, then fuck you. Yes 95% of the residents in New orleans was non-white. Most had no money to actually leave New Orleans. So let's clean up the gene pool? It's almost like your grateful for those who did died during the hurricane [/QB]

I love this. See how some of us are. No one said anything about race, color or anything along those lines on any post in this topic, but we all knew it was only a matter of time. Whats even better, is that you don't who you're talking to ( not in threatening way ) at all.


So I say to you and SF89LX " Ignorence know's no color, race, creed or religion."


....also, since when are statistics racists??? You lost me on that one fella's.
