Katrina= diaster in Houston,TX still
 

I'm sure all of you heard of this Hurricane Katrina that ripped apart New Orleans and forced people to escape to Houston,TX. Well these "People" have been seroius trouble since day 1. Houston takes the time to do everything in their power to help these idoits. They've gotten free money, free housing, catered meals, free clothes, free schooling at the best schools, free college and these IDOITS thank us by killing our fellow Houston members, picking fights with our children, stealing and .....it's just URGHHHHH I wish I was mayor I'd order all of those rat infestd idoits out!

Tonight I am SO disguted on the news they annouced some New Orlean kid set a child from Houston on fire! That is DISGUSTING! I don't care about "Don't judge them,they act out of fear.That's a bunch of bull!" Right now these idoits are also whining cause FEMA and the Red Cross won't pay for their free housing anymore after the end of Jan. Well too bad these monsters gotta go, it costed Houston,TX alot of money to keep them here.

I mean don't get me wrong, I love to help! But here in Houston we opened our hearts, our homes, our schools and we are thanked with voilence.....I swear their fates are going to be very igly if they don't start changing those nasty attitudes and start showing Houston some thanks.

and as for the kid who set the other kid on fire, I'd set him on fire and if his parents protest. Oh well. Get out of Houston! :roll: Oh and get this, these Black Prtesters are saying the Goverment was slow cause they are "Black":roll: color has nothing to with this. It's more difficult then what these idoits want to or care to see.

Was that kid Denzel Washington? Heh heh...I kid I kid.

Ok, If my home was destroyed and I was forced to move to a strange place I would be one angry Niggah too! Now i will admit that setting a kid on fire was alittle extreme...you're not helping the problem by calling these people "Monsters" and "Rat-infested IDOITS"

Sh*t you're acting like Houston is the holy land.....and what the hell is a Idoit?

As sad as it is to say... (and yeah, Houston-ites did a nice thing while helping other people...)

But this is human nature at it's best/worst. Everyone wants something for free, and will complain until they get it. (Trust me, I spent years working with the public). Everyone is a 'victim'.

I won't go into all my thoughts on this... (I happen to be of the school that bad things happen, find a way to deal with it without drama.) But I have to admit; while sad, this is neither surprising nor unexpected.

But huge kudos to those people nice enough to help out. Sad the people they helped can't find it in themselves to be grateful. Is it any surprise that so many people are so cynical?

Well first of all, this is MY home town.Put yourself in our shoes, we beening helping them everyday. Houston is donating alot of money to help them but sadly alot are being lazy and not doing anything to help themselves.

And they are rats,instead of getting up helping themselves get better they rather make alot of ppl in Houston suffer and feel what they fell. Well I'm sorry it happened-mother nature is cruel sometimes but people from New Orleans can't put the blame on Houston & the goverment. People need to get up and get jobs.
In fact my sisterwho's a teacher is having trouble with a few kids, sad to say this but it is a fact,"Alot from New Orleans are uneducated" New Orleans is a poor city,lovely but a poor city with a bad school system. Thus, it's causing alot of trouble here.

I'm not going to argue about this with people who live in other states and countries. The fact remains, New Orleans is causing Houston trouble with the voilence.

Oh boo hoo. wow you got a couple of non-appreciative people you all got it so bad when most of these people are farking homeless now!

I'm just gonna bow out now before i get myself mad over YOU again.

So I guess the nation can only cultivate a couple months worth of support and understanding for evacuees of a major non-terrorist related disaster before their collective generosities tire. Good to know.

You were able to help? That's great. I was stuck at home having a real two-week-long anxiety attack because there was nothing I could do but collect donations and wait, and hope people might survive.

Do you realize you sound like the posterchild for a hate group? :blanksta: Just sayin'...


It's been 4 months. Can you rebuild your entire life from the bottom up in 4 months? Is it even possible to get over the shock of something like this in 4 months?

Forget It, I'm Responding
New Orleans is/was a crime-ridden an inner city. Not sure if you know this, but I grew up in Cleveland (much like the new orleans projects) and it would be very difficult for me to be kicked out of my city by a hurricane and sent all the way to Texas. The stuff you are complaining about is a daily fact of life. Drive-Bys Shootings, and Killings are all things we in the Inner Cities see on a daily basis. Hell I had my first gun when I was only 12 years old. Now imagine if you lived a life where you had to steal to eat, and lived most of your life outside of the home. Then your way of life is destroyed, you are sent to some (probably racially inlined;before you say anything I'm White) Texas city. It would be a bit of a change. Sure your city is experienceing some of the problems of the inner city, maybe it could help you appreciate just how good your life is.

Turtle Dove, why don't you get a gun and shoot everybody that doesn't fit in your world? I mean, those "Untermenschen" deserved nothing less. Setting people in "your" glorious hometown on fire... next one could be you. Better be safe than sorry. I recommend a Sturmgewehr 90, 20 shot mag, single or burst and easy to clean.

I think this is a case of "a few bad apples spoil the whole bunch." Yes, there are some idiots who are from New Orleans and light other kids on fire, then there are those who are trying to get some semblence of normalsy back into their lives. You can't fault everyone of them for the actions of a minority, how ever visible and distructive they might be.

Well, I'm not exactly sure where to start about all of this... but I'll try.

Violence: It's everywhere. On the subect of a New Orleans child setting a Houston child to flames, I assure your that there would not have been so much hype had it been between two houstonians. Sad to say, but true.

Are they acting out? Hell yeah they're acting out. It doesn't make it right. Was there racial descrimination when it came to the rescues? Maybe, I wasn't there so I don't know... it is a possibility. Calling them idiots and so on does not, and will not help!

Now, when it comes to Fema... I can understand why they are cutting off 'help,' but I still think something better can be done. I have met a few of the refugees from New Orleans, and Mississippi and etc.; for a lot of the places it is going to take a while to make them livable muchless getting back to the way they were.

A lot of them still don't have jobs... and how are they to pay for a place to stay if they don't have one? Already Houston is, (well, it feels like it to me), overflowed in the job market. I can't find a job, though I am trying, (honest I am)! I can't rightly blame the refugees for 'stealing' the jobs, because well... they too need work to survive... doesn't mean I'm happy about it.

More or less, what I'm trying to say is this: Things right now are ****. Violence is still as bad as it ever was... it's just more noticiable... I assure you that the MAJORITY of the victems of Katrina are thankful and please remember this: It was a kid who caused the fire... A FREAKING CHILD. He's not innocent at all, true, but he's still not completely mature.

Texas is for Texans ONLY.

Turtle dove, get up and look beyond the tip of your nose. Look beyond your hometown. See the suffering, see the opression. Then sit down and shut the hell up. You are not in the same situation as these people. You are not homeless. You have not lost all you own, perhaps all you love. You cant demand these people to "get over it and get a job".

Heeey, Matthew, whattabout all those people who are 'reborn' Texans? *grin* like my Ma? And I don't think that's what she's really saying Blondus. I think she's more or less pissed at the situation itself. I know I am.

I'm angry that Katrina even happened in the first place. It destroyed so many homes, history, and people;it displaced thousands more to as far away as Salt Lake City. (Most definately farther, I mention this city in particular because I remember a news report about it. One refugee said the food needed more spice. Made me laugh a little because the man was able to keep a some of his humor through such adversity).

The situation has not just affected Houston or Texas. It's affected people all over. With in a matter of weeks several cities and towns had a jump in population. Jobs in several places became harder to get because so many more were looking for the same position.

Tensions are high for both sides! And with that, I doubt I'm going to reply to this post anymore.

*bows out*

Ya wut he said

It doesn't really do much good to be angry at a hurricane. It's nature. And for that reason, there really shouldn't be any "sides" here. There's no "them," there's only "us" as a society. Clearly, we failed this test in some serious ways, but we also pulled it together in other ways. This is what always happens.

Now we've gotta deal with it, and learn from it, and we've gotta keep trying to do right. It's hard, and some people make it harder. But this is what happens; it's nature, it's life. It'll happen again, and we'll go through this process, but hopefully we'll get better at handling things like this. We've got to because that's who we are.

Remember that hurricanes like that feed on warm humid weather, and that there will be incrasingly more hurricanes, as the global warming and pollution of the atmosphere escalate. Theres no way out of it now. We have doomed ourselves. Pollution won't stop. Not as long as there's only a small fraction fighting to stop this.

We're going down, and we're taking the world with us.

I hear that Global Warming will strike Two days before the day after tomorrow.

:o

We... We didn't listen!!

Yea, haha, blah blah. :lol:

So you think im just a paranoid nut.

Global warming... Tender, overused subject. Overused mainly by mad, stupid or naive environmentalists that claim that if we don't all start wearing hemp and eating ecologically cetified vegetables, the world will surely explode. But Global warming is a fact, and there's a reason we learned about it in school.
And hurricanes do feed on warm humid weather, just as global warming do cause warm humid weather.

I never said you were a nut, I was quoting south park.

Oh, i thought you were serious.. :embarass: :lol:

no, there was a recent episode of South Park where people were thinking Global Warming helped destroy a nearby down, all the citizens freaked out and were running around yelling "WE.. WE DIDN'T LISTEN!" :P
