Re: Hurricane Katrina Disaster Relief

Off topic, Were any of you in katrina? I was on vacation in Louisiana when it hit, luckily i'm fine, and plan to donate. Oh and btw, katrina hit as cat 4 not 5, if it was a five it'd be alot worse.

Re: Hurricane Katrina Disaster Relief

lol i guess 10.5 billion dollars that just passes through the senate isnt money? thats so much i couldnt even fathom what i could do with that... i feel so bad for tehse people. i live in florida and am suffering from insane gas prices. wich isnt even close to what the people in new orleans and misisipi are going through i cant even begin to understand how this can happin to the US i mean i begin to question wether bush has what it takes. i mean could you imagine leaving your home for a hurricane and realizing you have nuthing to go back to? NUTHING peoples lives are completly destroyed its unbelieveable. i wish i could do something but i cant because im not rich and these gas prices arnt helping. god dman we just need to get the **** out of iraq... :cry:

10.5 billion???? They are spending hundreds of billions for wars based on LIES and you think 10.5 billion is much??? You prolly are one of the 99% retards in USA, I don't have to ask you to think about that because 99% of USA citizens learned NOT to think, only to OBEY orders.USA are a stupid fascists horde.

Re: Hurricane Katrina Disaster Relief

It ****es me off to see people saying that people still in NO shouldn't be helped because they were too stupid to get out... These are people who can't afford a car let alone to stay ina hotel outside the city. Were buses and accomadation outside the city provided for these people? No. So that is why they are stranded...

I know this is political but personally i think BUsh is so caught up in the 'American Dream' that i finds it so hard to percieve that someone might not have a car...

This has absolutely nothing to do with this topic please stop.

Either stay on topic or just don't post my god, why does this turn into an attack on the US when something catastrophic happens? It's an act of God not a war get a clue please before you post retoric and nonsense...

I question a person who uses 4 or 5 question marks in a row, one does suffice to make your point that's like using 4-5 Exclamation points to make point it's not necessary.

Re: Hurricane Katrina Disaster Relief

That post should really be deleted. It doesn't belong here. Even if I wasn't an American I'd condemn those remarks.

My employer is awesome, they sent out a company wide email and are going to match all our donations! Donate whatever you can guys because every little bit counts.

they are also giving every employee optional 3 week leave (paid) to go help

Re: Hurricane Katrina Disaster Relief

To all you Europeans who think we are doing nothing to help those trapped in New Orleans...Do you know how hard it is to evacuate 100,000 people from a city submerged in 20 feet of water and ravaged by looting? Not to mention the various fires burning throughout the city. I think its amazing that they've managed to get half of the people out in five days. They've done more than any of your socialist governments could do for you. So stop saying we don't help our own people.

Its obvious that something is being done now, but read this -

No one can say they didn't see it coming

In 2001, FEMA warned that a hurricane striking New Orleans was one of the three most likely disasters in the U.S. But the Bush administration cut New Orleans flood control funding by 44 percent to pay for the Iraq war.

(the 2 others were earthquake & terrorist attack)

Doing something before would have been better. I know your going to say "you cant put up flood defences against a hurricane", but some of the funding could have gone towards emergency evacuation facilities for those who could not afford it.

Re: Hurricane Katrina Disaster Relief

I know what these people are living. I live in Puerto Rico and we constantly get hammered by hurricanes, but our infranstructure and seweres help the flooding go away. Sadly they weren't ready for this... and It was a category 5 hurricane, which we haven't had in years. Please try to donate and help them out for I know how it feels to be hit with such a devastating blow.

even tho they had a warning about this i wonder why the gov't reacted so slow to it
