Reply to New Orleans Aftermath and analysis in Current Events JoeUser Forums

About those buses - if you'll look closely, you'll see they're UNDERWATER.... that's why they're not being used. It's not easy to drive a vehicle that's been underwater for 300 to 500 miles. Even if it starts and runs, the axle bearings, etc, will often not last the trip. -------- You kidding right? The buses were not... I repeat NOT under water BEFORE the storm hit. The people could have been evacuated BEFORE the sorm hit. Then, of c

Reply to Rebuilding the City of New Orleans in Current Events JoeUser Forums

I do not agree with it being rebiult just so that a thousand more can die the next time over because of the grand history of the city. No talking out the ass here. Many of the reasons why it shouldn't be rebiult (at very least, small housing shouldn't be biult). In fact, in your own post you state the very logic behind not biulding there. From erroding marsh lands to the city sinking itself. Spend billions to rebiuld, th

Reply to Blacks: Here's How to AVOID Being Stereotyped! in Current Events JoeUser Forums

Education, wealth, family... all that was not in existance for us until 30 years ago. Why do you expect 'black people' to think a certain way? Look across the globe, at history... its not the first time someone from an underclass looked at those who are using new freedoms as 'uppity'. This is the day when we can avoid being steroetypes: A quote from another blogger - Rage is knowing that I am a minority, and so I am not free to

Reply to Is New Orleans the new Atlantis? Should we rebuild it? in Current Events JoeUser Forums

New Orleans is not on the coast. It is 60 miles inland. You can't be serious? I think you should look at the map again, but use Google this time and set it for satellite. Read about the area and what it is made of and you will find that it is not exaclty the same 'inland' as say being inland on the Califoria coast.

Reply to You're a Racist in Current Events JoeUser Forums

Oh and as I explained in another thread as to why all those looters are black... the hardest hit areas where mostly black, we do not have the luxury of having generations of education, wealth and a nuclear family of 2 parents. So you do have a dis-proportionaite amount of black people who just don't think first, they act first. Its not an excuse. Its still wrong. But that is the answer. Now tell me why whenever their is

Reply to Looting in Politics JoeUser Forums

Price Gouging - The Unreported Scandal Gas prices go up... why? Enron, Tyco, WorldCom... white people mostly... Personally, I think the idea of this comic is just to say this: before you start talking about why all the people who are looting are black, maybe you should talk about why are all the people looting America and the public are white. What is the difference? One takes a TV, the other takes a few million.

Am I the Only One Who Thinks This? in Current Events JoeUser Forums

I feel the answer is a solid no. I read the stories, the backround info, I saw the present and past pictures, I saw the section cut of the city, I know about the hurricain track, how the city is sinking, how the water table is rising, how the river is (one adverage) 3 meters above sea level (the city, for the most part is about 1 meter BELOW sea level)... Will there be a city? Yeah probably, but suburbs and rural areas? No. Millio

Reply to China as King of the World in Physics JoeUser Forums

*sigh* China will be a super power in the economy unless its peoples revolte for one reason or another to create instability. It will rival or surpass the US in a few years. Mean while we already have a solution, but it costs too much to get it started. I think once we realize we have to go with it, we will make the changes and spend the money and biuld the infrastructure to do it.

Dramatic, yes. But not unlikely, according to Shea Penland, geologist and professor at the University of New Orleans. "When we get the big hurricane and there are 10,000 people dead, the city government's been relocated to the north shore of Lake Ponchartrain, refugee camps have been set up and there $10 billion plus in losses, what then?" he asks. <img src="

Reply to France, Holland, New Orleans, and Water. in Current Events JoeUser Forums

I am sorry, but I am not for rebiulding it, unless it is done correctly. Considering the fact that money is really not going to go into the area like that, that the are is surrounded by water (rather than just being below sea level, its below sea level, surrounded by water and within a storm track), and people don't seem to have the forsight to biuld for the extreme, and then biuld for when it does work, I am for NOT rebuilding. 100's

I understand what your saying. Earthquakes, mudslides... and so forth, but there is a limit. Basically, there are plenty of areas that are beliew sealevel that are quite inhabited, but I think this area as well as some in Florida have ALWAYS been in paths of storms and such. If they are not going to spend the money to biuld it correctly, then it should not be rebiult. My question to Dr. Guy and other is, especially after seeing how th
