What about all the people who evacuated to the stadiums jsut liek they were told by the govt? They were left without food and water for 5 days as well even though they were following directions.Originally Posted by Confed999

Well everyone, with holdings in NO, after the disaster is poorer!!! You were talking about the whole US before.Originally Posted by Somaton
The system that brings money to companies through trade is dependant upon the product, but as a whole everyone counts in that "system". Poor, middle class, or rich, we all go to the corner Blockbuster to rent movies. The system that brings money to companies through investment is heavily dependant upon the rich and upper middle classes. The system that brings money to the government is taxation, and that is heavily, and wrongly, skewed towards the upper incomes.Originally Posted by Somaton

I agree completely with this Administration’s goal of a regime change in Iraq-John Kerry
even if that enforcement is mostly at the hands of the United States, a right we retain even if the Security Council fails to act-John Kerry
He may even miscalculate and slide these weapons off to terrorist groups to invite them to be a surrogate to use them against the United States. It’s the miscalculation that poses the greatest threat-John Kerry
They went to the stadium but didn't follow the rest of the instructions, you know the evacuate and prepare instructions? They should have demanded evacuation, the city had the means.Originally Posted by VayuSena

The figures at any given moment are irrelevant. Poverty is relative, what is so hard to understand about that? It is like distance, the concept of distance requires two points of reference. If you look at just a singular point, the entire concept of distance is irrelevant.the answers of a comparison from then to some other point in history. I'm talking about the figures in any given moment. Like right now, poor people 15% low middle class 15%, middle-class 45%, upper middle class 20% rich 10% (as an example).
You don't, at least, not in any serious conversation.So in what terms do you describe some ones economic status? If rich or poor won't do.
Those are two separate things. Companies bring in money through being productive, the Government brings in money by looting.The system that brings money to the government and to companies.

OK if you say so, but even when I look at Fox News I would like to think otherwiseOriginally Posted by Confed999
If you say so, haven’t been there so I can't tell. It still puzzles me that the last 1/6 of all NO citizens didn’t got the hell out of there though.Originally Posted by Confed999
Not that there ARE poor people but that they were so many. But you tell me otherwise so now I really don't know what to think.Originally Posted by Confed999
No it doesn't, and you know it.Originally Posted by Confed999
Are you trying to provoke me?Originally Posted by Confed999

I don't think the city had the means, especially for 30,000 + (I believe) people there. The mayor was a fool who had absolutely NO PLAN B for the people who might be left back.Originally Posted by Confed999
Consider this,
The mayor of New Orleans had 3 days warning (plenty of time to atleast frame a plan for those who might be left behind - the poor, the old, the sick, and the stupid)
Rudy Gulianni had no warning, nothing. Yet he managed to rally all his people together.
Shows you how incompetent that Nagin guy is.
Are you looking at hurricane victims, or poor people somewhere?Originally Posted by Somaton
Why? Personally I figured it would have been alot more. I wouldn't have left either. Even Fats Domino stayed, had to be rescued, but stayed none the less...Originally Posted by Somaton
Yes it does. There is no magical set ammount of wealth.Originally Posted by Somaton
It provokes you that people who visit here generally go home thinking they've been lied too? Or that people living here visiting other places come back wondering why the locals think they are so well off?Originally Posted by Somaton

Hhahaa, that reminds me of when he (nagin) said he didn't want to use school buses, instead he wanted every operational greyhound in america there. retard. why the hell didnt bush fire him on the spot..Originally Posted by Confed999
I understand you, but if you apply that to reality you would have to discard everything based on statistics.Originally Posted by Praxus
As it is based on the two points you refer to, it's like the time. You want to know what time it is right now, but you are fully aware of that it will tell something else at another time.
Well, I don't think I want to go there just yet, I'm gonna use those terms as long as nothing better comes up.Originally Posted by Praxus

Regarding the govenment I fully agree.

According to their approved disaster preparedness plan all available government vehicles should have been pressed into service to aid the evacuation. One young man even stole a school buss abandoned on the roadside for days, to drive his family, friends, and everyone he could find on the way out, to a Texas shelter.Originally Posted by giggs88

I do think that you are polite enough not to provoke others in here, therefor I don't feel that way.

To be honest I don't know if my skills in the english language allows me to do that. I can give it a shot but it will take some timeOriginally Posted by Praxus
