How is it that American relief got to Japan faster than it did to Katrina victims???

Quite possibly the two most ignorant responses I have ever read in my life... Having no food is an excuse to shoot at your helping hand? What were they defending themselves against??? EACH OTHER...not the help that was being provided. And NO, no sane man would shoot at their help

the most advanced country has a natural disaster in their own backyard and it takes days for aid to arrive of course im gonna bust some of those motherfuckers, its a learning experience. air supplies dont take days, u and i both know that if u dont then ur the ignornat racist. let some shit like this happen in new england, there would be motherfuckers ready to wipe their ass before they had time to take a shit.

I was put on alert before Katrina even hit. We were flying down there and evacuating people days before....Its not the countries fault that the governor of Louisiana decided to wait until the last minute to evacuate New Orleans. There was help there days BEFORE Katrina hit, I was a part of it, don't tell me it took days for help to arrive!

Also correct. The governor controls the National Guard assets when they are not mobilized...So why is the blame on Bush and not on the Governor of Louisiana? Why are some making this a racial thing when the governor of Louisiana (who had control of the aid) was black?

when state of emergency is declared its a federal issue at which point fema takes over. fema should have been prepared if they knew a hurricane the magnitude of Katrina was coming. why wasnt fema ready? can u tell me that? i dont give a shit if ppl were given a chance to get out of there, there is no way u can evacuate a million plus in such short period.

I think its safe to say its not 100% the government's job to evacuate everyone. They issue the evacuation order, some may require assistance to get out but others need to take the advice and get out. Not sit around and wait.

FEMA is a whole different story in itself, and may or may not could of been controlled differently.

What did you expect FEMA to do? They found out how serious it was at the same time everyone else did... and while a state of emergency was declared before it got bad, I'm pretty sure there is more that the governor needs to do before the President is allowed to order troops in.

The biggest problem was too many people thought they could ride out the storm, as they had countless times before. Katrina was on a whole other level, though.

Hopefully our country learns from the mistakes made, and nothing gets mismanaged this bad again

I got to go to bed..

Look, if you were affected personally by Katrina then I am sorry. I don't know how that feels. It was a Natural Disaster. One that no one could prepare for or know what to do after. But don't downplay what I was involved in which was the evacuation and help after it hit. Something of that magnitude is not something anyone can be prepared for, so there will be flaws. Help was there. We were there. It was overwhelming and no matter what anyone says, nothing within ANYONE'S power could of made everyone happy! Also, my heart and prayers go out to those affected by the disaster in Japan!

i dont give 2 shits what happened to those ppl, i slept like a baby during and after the event. its funny how white ppl will go to such great lengths to prove something thats not allowable esp in the us of a. that situation could have been handled soooo much better but it wasnt and thats all im saying. just admit bush,fema,govt handled it wrong, beating a dead horse is not gonna make it from wrong to right.

If you want to be a racist moron than ok, "black people" could of handled it sooo much better! Does that make you feel better....Obama is doing such a great job!

You may say Bush didn't help people in Louisana, but Obama just ****** up EVERYONE'S health care...

By the way, you are more than welcome to move to a communist country if you are unhappy with the way the US is running.

Oh really? Because almost 30% of the nations welfare recipients are in these 10 counties- LA, NYC, Philadelphia, Cook (Chicago), Sacramento, Shelby (Memphis), San Diego, Baltimore City, Fresno, and DC. Guess which party at least 8 of the 10 support? (don't feel like looking up San Diego and Fresno)

Whats the matter with these Japanese people. how come they arent looting and stealing? lol

Marigold HD · 03-14-11, 05:16 AM

I heard japan ask for help from new zealand and australia only. The us invited themselves to the party. As they always do. Take care of your own people.

RudyRuetigger · 03-14-11, 07:24 AM

my guess is japan means more to the US than new orleans

At least you can admit they made alot of mistakes! One of those was going home to home to take peoples guns in prominent neighborhoods. These people where doing nothing but defending themselves with these guns and taking them was WRONG!!! So when you said my response was ignorant earlier you are wrong. It doesn't matter who or what they needed to defend themselves against they have that right and needed there guns. Taking them was not helping anyone in any way so the people taking them where not helping! Therefore when I said I would shoot at them too if they tried to take my guns, I was right and I would. If you wouldn't you need to educate yourself on why you should!

falconticket · 03-20-11, 10:49 AM

They refused the help initially that was available at a minutes notice. What were you living under a rock? This was freely available information.

tad0matic · 03-20-11, 11:37 AM

didn't see any japs out shoooting at aid workers coz they are made welfare checks weren't delivered in time.

if you chose to live in a chocolate city then you should chose to arm yourselves too. LIke always they only try to take the guns away from the law ab\iding citizens and let the drug dealing pimps run amock.

One thing for sure in life/govt. etc. It takes blowing/making a mistake to learn how to do it the right way.

JohnGalt2341 · 03-20-11, 05:57 PM

There has been little to no Looting in Japan since the disaster. I think this proves that desperate situations/poverty does not cause crime. Criminals cause crime and they can't wait for an excuse to cause it.

There were buses in new orleans in 12 hours.
