Tens of thousands are dying right in front of our eyes
 

As far as I'm concerned this is Bush's biggest fuck up as a person and a president, and thats say a hell of a lot. 4 days later and people are literally dying from dehydration. This is complete fucking bullshit.

I found it on that on the news today that both former presidents were pulled out to raise funds,to me that shows weakness.

What has happened is awful, you would like to think that if any nation could handle such a set back and deal with aid etc it would be the US.

I totally agree.... but as you said in another thread, I'm a confused dumbfuck so what would I know?

gotta agree.

you can take military transport helicopters that have armoured protection and IMMEDIATELY fly in convoys of h20 and c-rations to place like NO convention center. right fuckin' NOW.

these machines are all weather 24/7 vehicles used by the us military all over the world in combat zones.

this is VERY poor form and shows a complete lack of understanding.

humans can exist for 7-14 days with no food.

they can exist only 3 or 4 days with no water, expecially since temps are in the 90's now in the gulf.

backwards, backwards, backgrounds, vacationing, dawdling republican admin.

Because the country expected the citizens of NO, even the black ones, to act like human beings (think New Yorkers on 9/11) rather than armed apes.

They were wrong.

Back your shit up with proof, where did you read "tens of thousands are dying", I'm not far from New Orleans and have heard of a few thousands might be dead but let's be realistic, "TENS OF THOUSANDS?!" cmon imbecile :winkwink:

Yeah that sucks.. But it doesn't change the point of this thread. You just brought in a whole other subject.

Dark just likes his attention don't worry about him

Turn on your fucking tv. An MSNBC cameraman told about he is literally watching babies and people die from dehydration at the convention center. There are thousands of people screaming 'help us'. They have not had water for days. What the fuck is wrong with you?

Don't be an idiot.

Argueing over whether it's going to be 9,999 or 10,001 at a time like this is ludacris :mad:

maybe bush should clap his hands and fix it all. this stuff takes time, and you'll be the first person to call bush a murderer when he sends in the troops many of the anti bush people are crying for. they'll fire back when these dumb asses shot at them and it'll turn into "bush is killing innocent black people in NO". get people to donate instead of using this tragic event as an opportunity to exploit and express your hatred for bush. :disgust

You said "TENS OF THOUSANDS ARE DYING" and you still have not shown proof, what the fuck is wrong with you??!? :warning

Hey Einstein, "TENS OF THOUSANDS" to maybe a thousand dead, is not even close to being the difference between "9,999 or 10,001" like you posted -

(hope you even understand what I just posted)

We know a thousand so far could be dead, but "TENS OF THOUSANDS" is exaggerating :2 cents:

The rule of thumb is 4-4-40...four minutes without air...4 days without water...forty days without food.

You truly are stupid :2 cents:

Tens of thousands are indeed dying you idiot! People need water... there are over 10,000 people in the NO convention center. They have no water or food...

TURN ON F**KING CNN NOW YOU IDIOT IF YOU NEED PROOF! THE GOD DAMN SHIT IS LIVE ON TV AND THE OFFICIALS THERE ARE SAYING THAT THEY HAVE HAD NO WATER THERE FOR DAYS :mad:

I would've expected this from a foreigner.... but from an American? :(

Shall we go back to grade 1 math for you Einstein?

< 10k = thousands
> 10k = tens of thousands

You failed to see the point in all of this. WHY even both argueing over whether if it is thousands or tens of thousands.

The better question is have you helped the situation or are you just argueing for kicks? I just donated to the Salvation Army... have you?

Every fucking time I see the government they are defensive
No one will admit or take responsibility for any of their actions

All of the people making decisions are living in complete comfort - with electric, food and of course water - I just hope that they cannot sleep and that their guilt gets the best of them.

well said

idiot :2 cents:

LMAO, your telling me that the country with the best logistics the world can't gather good and water and drop it off with helicopters in less than 48 bours??? :1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

They probably knew that negroes would go shopping, but nobody had balls to

say that. Political corectness and shit. :2 cents:

I place more of the blame on the hurricane opposed to Bush?!

They are doing the best they can - don't be ridiculous

Ever heard of airdrops? If those people dont get water very soon they will die, understand that? Fuck you and your getting people to donate, just how stupid are you? This is quickly turning into the worst tragedy this country has ever faced and you and Bush's answer is for people to donate. Fucking pathetic.

they ARE dropping food and water, just not enough. you think bush can snap his fingers and make enough MREs fall from the sky to feed EVERYONE? it takes time so stop bitching and focus on helping.

http://www.charitynavigator.org/inde...8/cpid/310.htm

pick one on the right side and donate.

yeah, you're right. dont donate. instead use that money on flyers and billboards saying how bush fucked up. that's a better use of funds!!! idiot

people need to donate money, time, or blood to help the people who need help NOW. its sad when you'd rather have people die for no other reason but to strengthen your argument opposing bush

Shut up you clueless Bush parrot.

TONY ZUMBADO: I've gotta tell you, I thought I'd seen it all, but just when you think you've seen it all, you go into another situation and you see something horrific. I've never seen anything in my life like this. ... I can't put it into words the amount of destruction that is in this city and how these people are coping. They are just left behind. There is nothing offered to them. No water, no ice, no C-rations, nothing, for the last four days.

They were told to go to the convention center. They did, they've been behaving. It's unbelievable how organized they are, how supportive they are of each other. They have not started any mêlées, any riots ... they just want food and support. And what I saw there I've never seen in this country.

We need to really look at this situation at the convention center. It's getting very very crazy in there and very dangerous. Somebody needs to come down with a lot of food and a lot of water. There's no hostility there ... they need support. These people are very desperate. I saw two gentlemen die in front of me because of dehydration. I saw a baby near death.

STEWART: Are you telling me there is no police in the area, no National Guard in the area?

ZUMBADO: I don't want to sound negative against anybody or any official, but according to them, and what they saw, they left and they're there on their own. There's no police there's no authority. ... You would never ever imagine what you saw in the convention center in New Orleans.

STEWART: Tell me about the sanitation.

ZUMBADO: The sanitation was unbelievable. The stench in there... was unbelievable. Dead people around the walls of the convention center, laying in the middle of the street in their dying chairs. ... They were just covered up ... Babies, two babies dehydrated and died. I'm telling you, I couldn't take it.

Still not one link proving "TENS OF THOUSANDS ARE DYING" :2 cents:

Point made.

This is correct !!

RedCross of course, should I donate a dictionary to you ---^ (ARGUEING?)?

I already called you Einstein by the way, you are not hurting my feelings here just making me laugh :1orglaugh

Why don't you and Bringer get together and suck each other off while watching Bush speeches. You mental capacity isnt much beyond that.

the bush speech was a joke. dont buy gas if you dont need it. he's an idiot. please share with us all your master plan on getting people food and water. we'd all like to hear how it can be done without the redcross and other orgs who are there now helping. dont donate, bitch. i wonder how many people you've saved by creating this thread alone!

Someone questioning my intelligence, coming from someone who starts a sentence with, "YOU MENTAL CAPACITY...." isn't worth my time. Go away "troll".

There is no question to your intelligence, or lack of.

You're in my thread and telling me to go away, classic. :1orglaugh

How long did it take the victims of the tsunami to get American aide?

i agree progress is slow but i ask this quesion: there was a major hurricane comming at these people and most did not stock up on bottled water and non perishable food items?..yes the government needs to get vital supplies to the victims. But what about the prior warnings to leave the areas why are most of these people still there?.. I live in california and the bums hitch up and down the coast to the best climate for them why did all these people not do the same? While I do feel sympathy for all these people I cant help but think that they were forewarned and chose not to leave, thus my sympathy only goes so far and blame on the government the same.

I'm sorry was that a comeback or a fact? :1orglaugh

if BUSH can get 150,000 of our best men and women to IRAQ, he can SNAP his fingers and feed the sick and dying in our own country.

and take control of the crooks too....

10's of thousands are without water and are therefore going to dye if they dont get it.

Therefore 10s of thousands are dying.

Thousands can be DYING before thousands are actually DEAD - that seems to be what you are not grasping.

Desperate attempt to make Bush look weak. :2 cents: :winkwink:

Makes me feel good all inside :-)

Hmm let's see your in London, I'm a few hundred miles away from there,

STFU

Still no proof that TENS OF THOUSANDS ARE DYING BEFORE ANYONES EYES :321GFY

Gotta love no proof.

Translation: I'm stupid. I think there are people in their home that don't have running water and thats what this is all about. I'm to stupid to realize thousands of people didnt have the means to travel to another state so they went to the Superdome instead like they were told to do. I'm also to stupid to realize those 20,000 people couldnt carry 5 days worth of water. I also don't see what all the fuss is, there's water everywhere!

Very true, :1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

Urrrrrrr... choke on it and DIE !!!!

Sadly that doesn't happen ... they don't feel guilt, I can't imagine... I don't think they care..

Damn Canadians LMAO

You're, not your. No further comments on GFY for me tonight.
