TBH im pretty disgusted by the way the US has handled this, yes its a major disaster and yes there are alot of people dead. But the fact that the US has turned down help from both the UK and El Salvador (spelt wrong, sorry) says alot about their attitude towards this crisis.

This seems more about protecting Americans "big image" than caring for their own people.

This crisis also seems to be being used as propaganda by a large number of the black community to suggest that this is a racist attack against black people, especially those in New Orleans, they seem to think that the reason they didnt receive help straight away was because of their colour.

The way the people in New Orleans have reacted is also strange, maybe this is because of the way Americans live, it seems to be a real comfort zone compared to the rest of the world, even to the UK.
As soon as theres a crisis the entire American structure just seems to fall apart, maybe this is because (although i dont know alot of american history) America hasnt fought a war or had to deal with anything within its own borders in...? 100 years?

Its pathetic, really. To see the so called "greatest nation" on the planet brought to its knees and thrown into total chaos by mother nature.

There dosnt seem to be any sense of urgency at the moment, everything is taking so long with this incident.


Maybe im entirely wrong about everything, and sorry for any offence... but I do know one thing which is that Mother Nature is the closest thing to god on this earth and when it decides to bitchslap us lesser forms of life, we will die.


Deepest sympathies to all who have suffered, best wishes to those still in the city.

Theres quite a sense of urgency, and we are rushing to help all those people. Gotta understand we have to deal with the people who broke into the gunstores and got those AKs and who are now shooting at our choppers in a vain attempt to get out of the city.

That and if a city with 300,000+ people suddenly finds 90% of itself under water, theres not too much of an infastructure in place to fix that...

I know...thats why I said what I did...

Or maybe it's because thats where alot of black people settled long ago...and they still live there...

Actually ewm, without getting into politics too much here, look at the behavior of people black and white in mississippi and alabama, and even rural parts of louisiana, totally different from the thugs in new orleans. So the black/poor/whatever thing really doesn't make sense. Plenty of black poor people and white poor people are behaving in a very civil manner in other areas, I'm really going to have to go with the theory that some New Orleaners who ignored the evacuation order are just filthy degenerate people.

Uh are you turning this isn't a third political thread? Can't blame another race for one races problems when there not really being discrimanted against. And I think the white house is called the white house because it's painted...white...
 

Well I'm going to go out on a limb here and speculate that building a giant city of a million people below sea level in an area known to have hurricanes and storm surge was the primary factor leading to this tragedy.
