I wouldn't have seen it unless it was pointed out because I don't read that far into shit. Clearly they both stole the items...

nah, the black guy stole it because he couldn't pay for it, and even if he could he'd rather steal it. the white guy probably left some money there or intends to pay for it afterward, and is in desperate need of the goods.

I didn't even notice it. I saw the 'looting' cirlced, but didn't see the other one.

It looks like it's two different writers though - the AP and AFP aren't the same thing are they?

jesus fucking christ...the water surrounding the whole city is full of oil...New-Orleans is going bye bye as we speak..

Post by **Duhard** » Wed Aug 31, 2005 9:33 pm

maybe we should just bomb it all to get rid of all the oil and poor ppl who can't afford to get out of their misery...hmm?

Post by **R00k** » Wed Aug 31, 2005 9:35 pm

The governor himself has mentioned abandoning it, but I seriously doubt that will happen, with all the infrastructure in the city. Aside from oil, it's also a massive port that does a huge amount of importing/exporting for the country.

But seriously - how is it that Bush has almost completely disappeared during all of this?

I mean, people know where he is, and he has mentioned the city a couple of times - and two days after it hit he decided to come off vacation and go "back to work" for it.

Is the press not even allowed to criticize him for being an insensitive prick of a person? The guy on CNN is the only one I've even heard mention his negligent and irresponsible lack of public presence.

He's going in to action just like he did on 9/11 - ignoring the entire thing until someone can coach him through a response. :icon27:

I think you have read already about this.
Because of global warming, the polar arctic melting and all.
Within 50 years all land on the coastline like florida will become as atlantis. I don't know how we can prepare about this but we haven't seen nothing yet. Have an idea to help save the planet?

Potentially...but we cannot attribute this individual hurricane solely to global warming - although it is definitely a potential factor - but there are a lot of variables at play to produce a storm like this. Still, at the rate things are going - with the ice shelfs breaking up and whatnot, things look a bit scary for the future.

Just watched his coached response on TV. Absolutely pathetic. The guy looks like a high school kid trying to give a speech to the class - but is not confident enough in the material to actually talk to the class...instead having to look down and read directly from their notes. Bush doesn't have the capacity to do a bit of 'speaking from the heart' regarding a disaster like this and that is really pathetic... His constant reading of virtually every scheduled statement he makes drives me nuts.

Then my theory is worth a thought?
From my topic, remember?
I will try my best to make it comprehensive.

We come back from an ice era age.
If we started from that era, it is quite logical we are going to a more warm era.
It is not as our behaviors as it is to do with nature itself.

Good evening my friends.

As I was watching the stars I was just wondering about things like this one.

I think, as the earth turn on itself 24 hours as we dedicated it for a day…
365 days around the sun for a year.
We are getting closer and closer to the solar system, as we had thrown a ball into it and every day we are getting closer to it, so this is what they call the global warming but it is just natural.
I think that we just go from one elevation to another which take maybe 50 years for some and 500 years for others and we are there.
The sun is a massive mass of energy which attract a whole amount of other massive mass. I believe it attracts everything to it and since we are part of it , attract us.
