Yeah right. Who cares about the unlucky couple of people who died, and hundreds of thousands of people who've lost everything.

There is amazing jazz all around us. Look around..

It's a good thing they force the people to move out from the city...If they stay or whatever they will get scary diseases and there will be a high chance of spreading it around and we don't want another epidemic. So the evacuation of the victims are for their own sake and those from the people who live near..

I just read about a guy who got rescued after 18 days..

Did you watch the story about the prison?
they evacuate all the prosoner and promise to came back tu take the workers, but they never did.
thats crazy.

Well, talking about it doesn't change the situation. Also: nobody cares about the thousands of people dying in Africa daily. So why care about a Katrina? Are Americans better humans than Africans? Please don't reply to this question; it would initiate a pointless never-ending discussion. Just think about it.

You're digressing and stereotyping. If you don't give a shit about the disaster that's stricken this country, feel free not to read or post in this topic.

If you wanna talk about the situation in Africa, open up a new thread. But the fact that you don't see African people dying in the news doesn't mean nobody cares about it - similarly, all the news covering the biggest natural disaster to hit the urban United States doesn't mean that "Americans are better humans than Africans".

I'm happy that you're not touched by Katrina in any way (except, I'm so sorry you can't watch the news), but don't be an asshole, ok?

I'm not untouched, but it's always the same. Something disastrous happens to a 'developed' country and everyone reports about it. All the world is crying.

Yes, what has happened is sad, but what makes me more sad is that the world is forgetting about real and persisting problems. But as I said: this discussion leads nowhere, so let's just stop here. I've had that kind of discussion too many times.

By the way: where I might have sounded like an asshole, no I'm not. I'm a cynic.
