Hurricane aftermath
So in the SuperDome, there were suicides and murders, and women were being raped when they went to the toilet. Lots of women were raped, and one young girl at least was stabbed to death- they caught the rapist and everyone lynched him.
The police shot looters and people trying to get help for the rape victims, but didn't bother protecting the women. The rich of the US just stood and watched, and let the poor drown. Story. Given all that, is it fair to say that this wonderful civilisation isn't quite as strong as we'd believe. A disaster and the poor drown, and the women get raped and murdered. I think it was Man of Kent who said we were four meals from the end of civilisation. I think that's true.

At the end of the day, who REALLY cares abotu the poor? What are they in the US? A pain in the arse, that is what. So what if they die? A few more will breed and it'll all be ok and back to normal. They are hardy people at the bottom of the ladder, they tend to come back after it all.
That is they way Heiracial society works. Some are more important that other and get helped sooner and more acitvley.

Don't forget that most of the stories coming out are, as usual for the media, the bad ones. The sensationalistic one about rape, murder, looting etc but you haven't heard about the "help-thy-neighbour" stories which I have no doubt happened. In a area of devastation that size, with that level of population, there will always be stories like this and there will always be scumbags like this.

Aye my dad knows someone who has taken in 14 people into her house.
However the whole badly managed thing makes me want to go out and slap some people - infact it makes me so unbeliveably angry about a whole lot of things. Oh and we're sending aid to the americans - I'm finding that really funny!

Why is that funny? Considering the masses of aid the Americans have given prett much everyone through the years, Id say it was about time for some payback.

 The real tragedy here is that those who turned to "the government" to protect and save them (i.e. it's job) were the ones most likely to have something nasty happen to them. Everyone with any sense had fucked off long before. So, why did these people have no sense of personal responsibility?

Europe would still be a wasteland if it wasnt for the USA - think 1945 and the Marshall plan.

They didn't do that for free either. Same as always, finance both sides, collect the cheques.

I tell you what's funny:
Cuba, Iran amongst nations offering help to the US Oh the irony. France is also offering help. The US should be grateful. France could just have said "you can now go and buy ration of Freedom Fries and a Freedom Toast and stick it up your arse. Yours faithfully, the cheese-eating surrender monkeys".
