There's merit to it. Exaggerations are usually necessary for people to take action...

Looks intresting. The only thing I have to be pissed about is New Orleans.

I've never seen a situation with the most simple solution, blow up. As most of us went to school, I'm sure we were all raised on knowing alot about our town or land or even state. Now I'm not saying this is common knowledge, but when you live in a place where you see 20-30 foot leveesoutside your door, you tend to ponder as to what these dams/dikes/levees do. Now say you live in a town that was built in a swamp. The town is renowned for being one of the most early engineering snafu's. Now add to the mix that a very large and powerfull storm is coming down on you. This storm is the highest categoried storm they've had in a while, all this goes with the fact that YOU LIVE BELOW FUCKING SEA LEVEL! Instead of sitting there playing grab ass, perhaps you should evacuate or at the very least, prepare for the oncoming storm with your bare essentials...

Seeing as I live in Florida I tend to have a general gist as to what to do when a hurricane is coming. The local media and govn't does a good job preparing us. We get readied and they always tell us , as they did in New Orleans, that FEMA and other state and federal agencies can't get into certain areas as soon as a storm passes. So we evacuate or stock up on food,water,medication,etc... Thank god I've been fortunate as to not been directly hit or lose my home.

The whole thing that shits my pants of New Orleans was these people had warnings and were told that they should get out or get prepared, and that agencies wouldn't be able to get in there soon as they were hit. Instead these people bitch and complain about how Bush is a Nazi, but when they finally do get some assistance, people start ambushing and shooting them like some 3rd World shitheads.

This had absolutely nothing to do with this thread, I love you all in the ass.

it's not a truth, there are thousands and thousands of scientists who have evidence that says it isn't... so why do the scientists who say it is true get all the publicity and are assumed to be correct? I think there was a thread about this in the Politics forum, maybe I'll just search for it and link to it.
