Failure
-This is what the National Guard has much proven itself to be.
Both useless, and a failure. Before you begin to flame, expressing to me "How I hate the military" I will forewarn you now, that you are incorrect, seeing as I plan to join the military (Navy) within the next year. To stay on point, I'm obviously reffering to Katrina, and the governments failure to appear, or put forth any major effort in disaster relief, until a week and a half later, in which it's practically too late. Look at it this way: New Orleans is built on a flood plane, this is where the entire city rests. Given, this is not the first time this has happened, this is by far the worst. I can honestly stand here and say, that more people are going to, or already have died in this hurricane, than in 9/11. How exactly can such a huge fucking deal, be ignored? I can say, that for such a large and major disaster America and it's government seem to be taking it lightly, seeing as the major issue in any other state isn't the large amounts of deaths that are occuring or the number of lost homes, and children who are being raped, no, none of that seems to be the most relevant, because what other states are MOST concerned about.. (drum roll).. GAS PRICES. Now tell me, exactly what are the reasons that the National Guard is just now getting there? What is the reason that Bush is JUST NOW making the effort to enforce military action, prevent theives, save people and start the relief process? I'll tell you why... because he's an idiot. He's the president, and now that thousands of people have died, due to his lack of control, and orginization, all he can do is say "sorry". Now, to sum up the rest of my anger... One of the major details of New Orleans, is that most of it's residents are DIRT POOR. Over 75 % of them do not own motor vehicles, yet we're arresting people who couldn't evacuate the city in time. HEY DUMBASS, it would've been nice if the government would've provided some emergency transportation to help old, handicap, and poor people leave. It probably would've saved a great deal of lives, and kept a lot of families together. Keep in mind, that I respect the men and women of the National Guard, and Military that are out there doing what they were sent to do. It's not their fault in the least. However, I do believe, that if America, and it's government would pull it's ass together a lot more could've been done about this then there has been. I'm thankful that assbag can't be re-elected, he is in fact, a horrible president.

RE: Failure
I kinda feel this is taken to much. They saw it coming, should have packed thier bags and moved. Its like people living in tornado alley and not expecting tornadoes. Also in the news videos how comei its only black people and 2 white people in the town? Because anyone who graduated high school knew to leave. Hopefully they wont be so stupid to rebuild it the same old way. New orleans has been getting worse and worse for crime that if you go off the main two tourists roads you have a good chance of getting,mugged or maybe even shot. well have a good day
( i find the hig gas prices more of a proplem then this)

RE: Re: RE: Failure
George Bush had to cut his month-long vacation TWO DAYS short in response to Hurricane Katrina. What a HUGE sacrifice. I don't think it should be legal for the president to take that much time off the job. Who knows how many vacation days he's taken in 6 years.

RE: Re: RE: Failure
I read somewhere once, that George W. Bush has spent more than 48% of his presidency on vacation.
As for the guy bitching about gas prices, here's a fact that you seem to be in denial over: Your user name is "Skater Jon" which probably means, you aren't old enough to drive, and skateboards don't require gas, so what are you bitching about? This is Critical Thinking, you have to actually think to be here, much less to be welcome in my threads. I don't tolerate idiocy, so I would suggest that you willingly leave, before I have you removed. |

RE: Re: Failure
You're an idiot. Race, has nothing to do with it, so good job for having Kanye West as an idol, you assbag.
The reason that we didn't go out there and help anyone in the reasonable amount of time that we could have, is because this is America. Our government is greedy and disorganized. Are you telling me that white people don't steal? That's horseshit, because they do, everyday. They're called politicians. PS. Don't believe everything you read on the internet kid.

Now that i got that out of the way, it really seems like the government dropped the ball on that one, they should have had tons of troops down there getting people out on the first day this stuff happened. Instead they waited a whole week before they did anything. In one of the strongest countries in the world, if not THE strongest, we have third world conditions in that city. Corpses everywhere, people just put sheets over them. Quote:

Imagine: You are given a 24 hour notice to leave your house. That is all. You dont have a car, and public transportation has been shut down. There isnt anyone you can turn to to help you evacuate the city. Not to mention, you'd be leaving everything you ever owned behind. You've lived through a hurricane before and survived. So staying in the city doesnt seem like that crazy of an idea. Quote:
I know I can't wait until the big earthquake hits California! I better get my looting gear ready! Quote:
If you think about it, George W. Bush is a great humanitarian too. Not only did he start a war based around the killing of Arabs, but he also is ignoring the suffering to thousands and thousands of black people! If it werent for the liberal media, GWB probably wouldn't have done anything! That's why I hate liberals...they are always talking about "equality" and "peace." They are so stupid. Don't the realize the only way to achieve peace is to kill all the minorities...kill them all, spare no ******, kyke, spic, wop, chink, towel-head, etc...now that's what I call equality. I could go on-and-on about how much I hate minorities and think they should die, but I'll save my ignorance for the next Klan meeting, I hope to see you there "virus-maker." |
