Discuss about the tropical storm that destroyed the beautiful New Orleans.

Discuss if you are going to donate money for the refueges in New Orleans but hurry because alot of people passed out.

It's sad that even though such low-class people are in dire need, their first instinct is to loot, pillage, and shoot at the very helicopters carrying THEIR water, THEIR food, and THEIR help. It's sad that those helicopters don't get a chance to land and then the government calls them negligent. If I were the pilot of that helicopter, I'd leave the area also. That or at least have a sniper take down the guy shooting at me.

Those people don't care about what you are doing for them and when you ask them why they are behaving like that, they use the excuse of how long it took to get help and how they have been trapped for days. I even saw on CNN a young man saying that Bush isn't doing anything to help and how he shouldn't be president.

I read about this in the paper this morning. ALOT of people have died so far =/ It said that they could see the bodies floating in the water. It also showed to satalite photos. One from before and one after the hurricane. It was all under water on the second one. I hope all those people will have a different place to stay for how long it is needed. It said that it could take weeks or even months before people could go back to their houses if they were still standing =/

Those people had to be brought out from the roof of their house, there were rescuers ripping roofs open beacuse the houses were totally flooded with over 20 feet of water. The amount of animnals dead is also massive, when the all the people are rescued they will have to be brought Dallas, Texas until New Orleans is cleaned up.

"Got my power back yes that damn bi**h cut if off"

1st i dont see why lootin is so bac bc is goin to go bad anyway if u ask me they should be help lootin

And as far as shootin at helicopters um yea that was bad but look at it this way 3+ days of no water no food and a shower would help they are doing a little bad

Umm...whatever dude!

Im lucky I live in Ohio...I sent $30 to the help fund.

i'll post a picture of the devastation when i can find some ancient pieces about.

Goddamit, Fats Domino is lost! He was in the vincinty of the storm in his house with his wife and two kids. Don't die Fats!

What's quite sad is that if a democratic president were in office, they'd say that the secretary of defense shouldn't be in that position... but because you either love or hate Bush, he just had to point his finger IMMEDIATELY at Bush and say that. How ignorant.

The Secretary of Defense is at fault here. It's the duty of the person in that position to care for issue. Yes, Bush should have come on TV and said "Please be patient, we're working to get this resolved quickly. We're sending out blah many people per hour to help with the relief effort. We'll get to you quickly with food and water", but it's the Secretary of Defenses problem.

What really aggrivates me is that the media is so... GOOD at brainwashing people. They had their helicopters, obviously, because I saw countless news reporters on rooves. How about they take turns picking up some people and flying them to a safer area with more food and water?

How about instead of going to the outskirts of the hurricane in little town, USA, they go to where the real relief effort is taking place. All I saw, while the media was interviewing people, was shanty after shack after run-down house. How about they report as to where the people were going; They were going to the areas where the most people were stuck: Bigger cities, suburbs, and the like... not the tiny towns where only 100 people reside. The big cities where 10,000s reside. The needs of the many outweighs the needs of the few.

I plan on helping in some way, either by donating or going down during winter break to do what I can.

Mana, Fats is alive!  They found him a while ago.

The true blame of the dead people lies with the mayor.  He had over 2,000 school bus he could have used to evacuate people and he insists on getting Greyhounds from everywhere else.

Well as for a update, many have been rescued and Texas is packed.lol
The people who have been brought there will get a free place to live until New Orleans is fixed. Though the sad news is the another Hurricane it's way toward the southern coast of America again. >_<

New Orleans would be best left destroyed instead of trying to fix it because it will probably cost more than %100,000,000,000.  Plus, the places that gave people jobs (McDonalds, Walmart, ect.) will most likely not be going back there.

Yeah but those people will want to go back to their home and the President would not just leave the state there. I know it will cost lots of money but they have already gotten millons from fellow Americans giving a hand.

Barbara Bush said something about the people who were evacuated into a stadium, something like "These people are poor, so they have it good over here" or something as stupid and ignorant as that..."

Fats is saved... hurray!

Yeah!,I heard that it did alot of damage to those people in america,man thats sad....

Well too bad coz theirs another hurricane coming if im correct
