Low interest federal loans and 3 firetrucks from the National Park Service.

I don't give a rats ass about the history of the city. It was a shithole when they built it in the first place (does anyone know the history of the "quarters" in Louisiana??? If not, you should read up on them. Swampland kids.... who wants to live there???). If the American people really want a city right there, then why not build it in a logical place?

Great location for a harbor, great location for a resort.. shitty location for a city.

Again, why should the feds be on the hook for something where there is a perfectly acceptable commercial product available to you..... INSURANCE!!!!

Don't know about the rest of you (again), but just like with 9/11... why the hell did we give $1.5 million to each of the victims families???? Where did it say that tax dollars should be spent that way?.... When did we become such a freakin welfare state?

ummm flood insurance is a government program and can't buy it.

Blackwater caused the fires to clear out some land for special ops training.

If I paid taxes as high as you americanos, you bet your cheeks that I would expect the government to intervene.

Just because you may make less does not mean your tax rate is lower

President George W. Bush has declared an emergency in California and ordered federal aid to be directed to the fire-stricken region.

The Pentagon has sent six Air Force and National Guard water-dropping planes to help tackle the blaze while 1,500 National Guard troops are being deployed to help manage evacuations and assist firefighting efforts.

Our taxes in comparison to some European countries are relatively low. I also believe we are lower than Canada, yes?

But hey, isn't that part of the great American debate??? How much we want the government to intervene? You can't have it both ways. You either want them in your life, or you want them out. Straddling the fence gets no one nowhere.

Well it sucks for everyone if their house burns down or is flooded...but I have my own problems and dont want to pay for theirs! I live in SF and if an earthquake hits here I dont expect the guy in FL to pay for it. It was my decision to live here..Risk vs. Reward!
Life sucks! Get a helmet!

GreyWolf 10-23-2007 03:04 PM
Doubt the imbecile himself can do much, but the "mechanisms" for support appear to have rolled into place and better than the N.O. fiasco - tho, at least so far, - it's hardly in the same league as Katrina.

But... the main support time has not happened yet - the aftermath, - there is plenty time to screw up yet.

Ya got to wonder why developers elected to build homes on dry scrubland hillsides which are candidates for fires of this kind. But... some folks live on the San Andreas Fault and others at the foot of volcanoes - life can be a mystery :winkwink:

You should really stick with subjects you have some knowledge about.

Kangaroos and koalas perhaps

Did you speak??

What specifically were you trying to express??

PS Na Kangaroos and koalas are not something I got a clue about - do you?

pocketkangaroo 10-23-2007 03:17 PM
I blame Bush for a lot of shit, but this isn't one of them. This is really just a perfect storm of shit being flung on California. They have the worst possible weather conditions for fires, including 90 MPH winds blowing fires faster than they can be fought.

It's California, fires happen, it's just part of life. There is nothing Bush can do to slow it down.

blunt3d 10-23-2007 03:31 PM
Just saw the situation on the telly. Looks like Arnie has got things covered.

Agree PK :thumbsup

All the elements are there and we can't compete against extreme weather conditions. It's the complete reverse here - the height of the rainy season and the problem is more landslides in certain areas. Developers will insist in not thinking straight and denuding hillsides, then whatever "development" slides down into mud. A few people have been killed so far, but the situation is settling down now.

sin2oh 10-23-2007 04:43 PM
We don't need that douchebag's help out here. That shithead still hasn't done anything to help those poor folks in LA. I'd rather they get the help they need.

aico 10-23-2007 04:45 PM
I guess you all missed the part where I posted he is already sending help and declared it a federal emergency.

IllTestYourGirls 10-23-2007 05:28 PM
No I agree with you. They the feds will only come and fuck things up even more. But in a case like this the national guard should be doing something other than fighting a war in Iraq.

BTW its not global warming that caused this fire. It was the Green movement and their mismanaging of the forests and under brush.

They have wildfires in California people. It happens every year. Why is this so surprising?

They have hurricanes along the gulf coast too, and tornadoes in the midwest, and intense heat in the southwest, and freezing fucking cold in the northern midwest, and huge snowstorms in the Rockies and the northeast... God people.. did you not pay attention before you moved there??? SHIT HAPPENS!!!!!!!

Get out of your house, hope like hell your insurance is paid up, and deal with life when it is over. Yeah it sucks... but what ya gonna do??? Move somewhere else where SHIT HAPPENS????

The government is here to assist if they can.. but to save your ass because you can't save yourself????? You may as well get that casket ready right now if that's what you are waiting for.

We have a lot, but we also have a lot of fires.

Barefootsies 10-23-2007 06:04 PM
There are still a few countries he HASN'T declared war on yet.

cykoe6 10-23-2007 07:33 PM
The fires are Bush's fault. He probably started them just like he blew up the WTC.
