Cogito Ergo Sum Posted September 9, 2005 Posted September 9, 2005 Okay...enough is enough... New Orleans is fucked now because it was FUCKED before. I know, I've been there before and I had my eyes wide open. Nobody wants to tell the truth about the place, so I will. New Orleans was a OLD, CRUMBLING, POOR, ILLITERATE, SHANTY TOWN of a city. Race had NOTHING to do with it. Only 23% of the population has a high school diploma for God's sake! The average OVERALL per capital income is only $17,258 with the black average being just $11,332! 47% of the population rented with the average rent being $380/month and the age of the average rented dwelling was 1954 (51 years old)! Whites are 28.1% and Blacks are 67.3% of the population. The rest are other races. New Orleans was a modern day slum. The majority of the people there work and live hand to mouth and have a shaky education at best. Add 1 natural disaster of incredible proportions, and this is what you get.... Sad sad sad... Quote .

tizz Posted September 9, 2005 Posted September 9, 2005 Regardless of the physical stats of the city you cannot deny it's charm, beauty, flavor and spirit. It is a spirit worth believing in. Whenever I was there I made it a point to see as MUCH of the city and it's people as I could fit into my limited time there. I was welcomed onto every porch (laughed at for my northeastern accent and ignorance of southern tradition and hospitality) There is an untouchable essence to the city that exists no matter what teh stats are and THAT is a truth your statistics fail to mention Quote "An intelligence that is not humane is the most dangerous thing in the world" Ashley Montague "No one should have to walk alone" Phuong Du "An eye for an eye only ends up making the whole world blind" Ghandi "If I were asked to define an American in a single phrase, I would say 'An American is a person who has the right to be different' and I think that right is growing" William Manchester

Also, if a savage criminal element and burgeoning welfare costs are just cause for closing a city, how many other cities would also qualify? As for building below sea level, the Dutch are doing the same, quite effectively. Quote Persevere, it pisses people off.
tizz Posted September 9, 2005 Posted September 9, 2005 The dutch have the advantage of building now. NO has been around for a while and the longer a community stands the harder it becomes to physically change it, but yes we can learns mountains from the Dutch. As for the cities? Every city in my state would be shut down in a heartbeat. I WON'T go to them unless absolutely necessary. I am just a scared white girl from the jersey shore in our cities, the scare the SHIT out of me. YIKES!

Agreed. Do you agree that negative propaganda and racism are more the case here? For instance, Anderson Cooper, a usually unruffled anchor for CNN, who has crafted an air of cool chic on his nightly show 360, could barely contain his rage when interviewing Mary Landrieu, a Democratic sentator from Louisiana. Cooper had been in New Orleans for days and was clearly sick of listening to political spin when it was obvious from the images, and from what he was witnessing first hand, that the US was in the middle of a failed relief operation and it was costing lives.

Cogito Ergo Sum Posted September 9, 2005 Posted September 9, 2005 Okay...enough is enough...PART II. Findlay, Ohio isn't fucked now because it wasn't FUCKED before. I know, I live here and have my eyes wide open. I'll tell you the truth about the place, so listen up. Findlay is a OLD, WELL ESTABLISHED, HISTORICALLY PRESERVED, AFFLUENT, LOVELY HOMES AND FEW APARTMENTS of a city. Race probably has NOTHING to do with it but education, values, and integrity do. Only 96.8% of the adult population has a high school diploma for God's sake! The average OVERALL per capital income is only $21,328 with the black average being just $15,539! 32.6% of the population rented with the average rent being $416/month and the age of the average rented dwelling was 1963 (42 years old)! Whites are 93.7% and Blacks are 1.4% of the population. The rest are other races. Findlay is a modern day paradise. The majority of the people here work in good jobs and save a portion of their incomes so that they may buy a home and have a good standard of living later in life. 50.7% of the adults have a college degree or some type of college level education. The number of violent crimes recorded by the FBI in 2003 was 96. The number of murders and homicides was 0. The violent crime rate was 2.4 per 1,000 people. Add 0 natural disaster of incredible proportions, and this is what you get.... Happy Joy Joy... Hmmm...why is this? Quote . I put no stock in religion.

Vortex Posted September 9, 2005 Posted September 9, 2005 I have to generally disagree with your entire statement! I think you need to take a step back and look at America and yourself and maybe re-evaluate your opinions Quote -I don't know about you...but I am SICK and tired of being nice and understanding!!! -The Liver is evil and must be punished! -The Early bird gets the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese. How can your opinion be the correct one....if, infact, its only an opinion?!?!
Cogito Ergo Sum Posted September 9, 2005 Posted September 9, 2005 You are seriously asking a gay man to step back and look at america and be sympathetic?!?!?!?!?!? Well hear it. Im sure a bunch of school children would be okay with him excusing himself from story time to handle things a "tad" more important. Their feelings would not have been hurt. Nor the teachers. Its the freaking country not the story time that we are worried about. Bush is an idiot.....will always be. Disturbed or no....his attention was needed eslewhere. And 6 year olds may get upset...but fuck them. It is about protecting them, not about their feelings that the president left during the story!!!!!!!!!!! and with NO.......he could fly over the city seven thousand times.....but it still doesnt excuse he fact that it took 5 days for the people to get water...... I have to totally agree with Vortex on this one. I often put it to people like this. Do you think that Ronald Regan or Bill Clinton would have continued to sit there after having been told what had just happened on 9/11 or Hurricane Katrina? Hardly! They were both action oriented presidents! Quote . I put no stock in religion. By the word "religion" I have seen the lunacy of fanatics of every denomination be called the will of god.

ghouse1 Posted September 14, 2005 Posted September 14, 2005 i can understand people looting for food, THAT is OK. not saying it is right, but if were me having no money and starving i would steel for food. BUT the matter is people are steeling tvs, stero's, cloths...ect this that are MATERIAL. and what is sad goes for black people. the cameras are shooting black people stealing material items. so Kanye West goes off and says Bush hates black people. NO he dosent! LIBERAL media shows us what we want to see and that is low income people breaking the law. for Kanye West to say what he did is the most racist thing iv ever heard and the guy should not be a role model in UNITED STATES.
