[QUOTE=Showtime]Homeless in another city
Homeless back in NO, with a high chance of the same thing happening again every year.
Hmmmm tough choice.[/QUOTE]
What an arrogant ass. Some people have to choose between eating and safety of property.
**** you and your pompous ego.

Yeah, I'm an arrogant ass by making a simple point.
seatlle would be good just bring some winning back to that city after they had 2 put up with ray allens injured ass and rashard lewis aswell. they could use a little bit of chris paul 2 remind them of the days of the glove, and with such a good team like the hornets seattle will be pumping and prove to david stern that hes a ****ing moron.

Im sorry that you dum sh**s didnt know that laptops were portable and some of us got out early because we learned from Katrina. I am supposed to crawl under the bed or something?? No sports, and sports talk are a great distraction. I come on ISH and see this bullsh**. I didnt get owned by an atheist. What atheist dont know when things are inappropriate to say?
As far as living in New Orleans goes, yes weve had our share of bad storms. Its dangerous living in the gulf coast during Hurricane season in general. But these are our homes that were talking about. Our lives, excuse me if its not that easy to just pick up and leave. Every part of the nation has certain weather problems that they will have to face. Whether it be hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes, flooding, snowstorms etc .

Being an atheist doesn't give you carte blanche for being an a[I]s[/I]shole.
I for one feel terrible for the poor people in New Orleans.
good luck new orleanians i hope your homes and fellow neighbors are ok and that the Hornets don't have to move
Here's to the people of New Orleans, on behalf of ISH, I wish you the best. My heart goes out to you.

It truly is sickening. Kids (not all, just venting and generalising) are messed up and these people are going to be running things one day. It scares the sh!t out of me.
[QUOTE=Showtime]Go back home...to what? A flood damaged house that is STILL smack dab in the middle of hurricanes EVERY damn year? If I had all my property destroyed, I WOULDN'T GO BACK AND REBUILD IN SAME DAMN SPOT. I can either have nothing and start over in another location, or go back "home" with nothing and put myself in the same situation as before. Start over somewhere else.[/QUOTE]
You really don't get it. Hurricanes are unpredictable. If this happened "every year" New Orleans would have been abandoned long ago. Before Katrina no storm of that power had hit in New Orleans in centuries. I don't live in NO but down here in eastern NC our whole eastern 1/3 of our state was covered in water about 10 years ago because of Hurricane Floyd, causing us to miss 3-4 weeks of school and cause hundreds of thousands of people to lose their homes. So in situations like these where a once in a generation storm comes to an area you propose to just pack everything up and move to a different area? Grow the f[I]u[/I]ck up.

Ignorant comment. The guy said he's fleeing for his life meaning that he's leaving New Orleans. I really don't see what that has to do with being online, the storm won't be here for a day at least he has time to get out of there.
[QUOTE=lovethetriangle]Close thread[/QUOTE]
Agreed. This thread is filled with young dumbf[I]u[/I]cks who think everything is a joke. People dying and/or losing everything is not funny.

:applause: :cheers:
[QUOTE=NOHCP3]Thread should be closed. Horrible timing. People are fleeing for their lives(including me) and the first thing you can think of is where are our pro teams gonna go AFTER this storm wipes us off the face of the map? Get a life dude. How bout you pray for New Orleans before you plot its downfall[/QUOTE]
You're fleeing for your life yet you can think of is to post on ISH?
Showtime are you b/w the age of 14 and 18?
Simple yes or no question.

umm it's not like in the movies like Day After Tomorrow type "flee for your lives." Did you think maybe he might already be out.

I said there's the same risk of it happening every year. NO is even worse because of the city's levy system and it being below sea level. And we have seen in the past few years how the number and severity of these storms are on the rise.

Once in a generation...and a level 3 storm is projected to effect NO soon. You said Floyd was a rare occurrence, yet the Carolinas get hit with storms every year, but not necessarily of that magnitude. The risk is the same every year, because there's always that chance another Floyd may come along. What you DO know is that the gulf and southeastern coast is prime real estate for hurricanes. I'm not saying pack and leave the southeast, I'm just saying that when somebody has lost everything, and they choose to go back to the same spot where there's a chance of that happening again every year, at some point I don't feel sorry for their situation.
I compared it to the situation of homes being destroyed in Tornado Alley. Some people have had to rebuild several times. At that point, I stop having empathy for the people in that situation.
