ROFL at Kanye
I had a feeling this dude was an idiot just from the music. Guess I was right.
http://www.m90.org/view_image.php?image_id=7387 There is a short version of this on entensity. To do Kanye justice you should really watch the one in this link. |
George Bush doesnt care about black people.
|
Why is he an idiot? He just spoke his mind, and it's funny.
And let's be honest; George Bush doesn't care about people. Unless they are Anglo-Saxon and make over $500,000 a year. And even then it's not "cares about," but rather "is controlled by." |

Then you're an idiot too for calling him an idiot.
No, K_A, it is not funny to then copy me and say "I am an idiot for..." |
Kanye is a freaking genius.
Kockblocker1>Kanye>Einstein>Fangs |
You just called him an idiot. Now he's a genius?
|
LMAO! Hes calling his "donations manager" to see what the biggest amount is he can give! I love it! I looooove it.
What? What is this... "they've realized that alot of the people that could help are at war right now and they've given them permission to come down and shoot us." LmaoWTF? |

I certainly hear the media portraying blacks as vicious thieves, and white people as victims -- not all the media, but definitely a large part of the media. I wholeheartedly disagree on this point. If I had been starving for 5 days, and I was watching my 15 month old baby's life wither away from malnutrition all the while sitting around and watching my government point fingers at who's to blame for not better preparing for the disaster yet doing absolutely nothing, I would be ready to grab a gun as well and forcibly, if it was required, get some food. I see nothing wrong with that, and I honestly believe that any good man would do the same. Now am I condoning killing people to get what you need? Absolutely not. But if a man has to choose between his child's life and someone elses life, then even the most kindhearted, selfless man will choose his child's life, and you can not condemn him for that. On another note, the time it took to get relief to New Orleans is absolutely ridiculous. We can get a force of 10000 men across the world in 6 hours but it takes us four fucking days to get a convoy to New Orleans? That's BUllSHit. I don't care if you're liberal or conservative, democrat or republican, that is utter crap. When you see that happening, how can you not at least feel what Kanye West had the nerve to express? We knew about the magnitude of this hurricane way before it struck. All the time we were hearing, "Oh my god, this will be the worst hurricane to ever hit America," yet what measures did our government take to minimalize the loss of life? Kanye West just vocalized what more than half of America is thinking. I certainly don't think that makes him an idiot. |

He's an idiot plain and simple, regardless of who Dubya likes or doesnt care about.
This hurricane was not about Bush. The problems are not Bush's fault. Blanco is to blame. (I hate Bush though...) |

It was the mayor's responsibility to evacuate people. Bush should be doing more to help. That is reasonable. He hates black people or doesnt care about them? Unreasonable. "He's on vacation" isn't an accurate remark. The president does far more than any of us can know I'm sure. Probably has alot more shit on his plate than any of us know. People in the area were told repeatedly to build better aqueducts and a better levee or whatever. They were told that if a big hurricane came their city would be underwater. They weren't doing shit about it. Everyone is looking for someone to blame and no one is looking for solutions. This is bullshit. Sure, we are the richtest country in the world. We should be doing WHATEVER WE HAVE TO in a crisis like this. I agree. However, it should be more on the shoulders of individuals and privately owned companies. There are people dying of thirst and we have FIVE MAJOR BOTTLED WATER COMPANIES??!?! WHAT THE FUCK IS HAPPENING HERE. All I see is finger pointing with no suggestions. Also, Kanye West is an ignorant fool. He made a personal judgement of Bush and basically called him racist for no reason. He has no idea what the fuck he talks about. Kanye West is the racist. I am not even going to try to get into this because it's so fucking obvious how wrong he is and if you can't see that I see no reason to argue with you because you are obviously missing something and it's not worth my time. Prove to me that there is validity in Kanye West's arguement and I will eat my words. Man with escalades and 24 inch rims bithcing about his "poor dying African brothers". Slut please. |

Oh come now, You don't seriously think I didn't know she declared the state of emergency do you? That's what that is, did you notice that? How about where is states: "SECTION 2: The state of Louisiana=s emergency response and recovery program is activated under the command of the director of the state office of Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness to prepare for and provide emergency support services and/or to minimize the effects of the storm=s damage." Which in case you failed to read it, explains that the State services will be enacted. No where in this document you so proudly posted does it show any evidence what so ever that the federal government will be involved. She was still required to request further assistance. dipshit |
I am backing Adrenachrome on this one (not calling anyone a dipshit though... haha).
The Presidents hands were definitely tied. The only reasonable thing to support him acting faster is saying that it was one of those times in history where rules just had to be broken and everyone would accept that, and following them is a lame cop out. I disagree with that here though, considering the society we live in. |
I'm not saying it couldn't have been handled better, again.. all I'm sayin is that it's not all on Bush. (Even though he should be shot)
(PB4TW!@ Thanks for your support!..lol) |
Alright, let's go.
Who can delcare the state of emergency? Yes the President can. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/State_o..._United_States How about the fact that Bush's trip to see that area stopped food and supplies from getting in? http://www.nola.com/weblogs/print.ss...int076556.html And how about the Homeland Sceurity National Response Plan Set forth in Dec of 2004? It states that, in these "catastrophic" cases, the federal government will operate independently to provide assistance. The NRP also says that, when responding to a catastrophic incident, the federal government should start emergency operations even in the absence of clear assessment of the situation. "A detailed and credible common operating picture may not be achievable for 24 to 48 hours (or longer) after the incident," the NRP's "Catastrophic Annex" states. "As a result, response activities must begin without the benefit of a detailed or complete situation and critical needs assessment." http://www.dhs.gov/interweb/assetlib...RPbaseplan.pdf |
Ehh, I may have posted a bit rashly. By no way is this all Bush's fault. I'm not trying to imply that at all. I agree that the people of Louisiana could have been better prepared for this. They were not. The thing that gets at me is that it took them four days to send in troops. This was known for sure, as Khwii already pointed out, unlike 9/11. Really, I don't know who's supposed to handle it. Right now all I see is too much finger pointing, and not enough help, and yes, I'm guilty of it too. Anyway, I need to get ready for school. I'll post when I get back.

And that's all I am saying. It is not any one person's fault, BUT the commander-in-chief should be held responsible for his part of the government failing.
|
I am legally not allowed to talk bad about Bush =/

IN SOVIET RUSSIA, ROAD FORKS YOU.
Seriously, Bush is the Antichrist. |

You can go wherever you're talking about, whatever. You can spend all the time you want researching your point, Bush is still an idiot, and It's still not his fault N.O. is devastated. Fault for slow response is first on the state and city, plain and simple. If they had requested further assistance then denied it, then it would be fed fault. I personally believe the federal government should not have the level of involvement with the states that it has today. Our country was designed to be independent states governing themselves, with a federal government given the purpose of keeping the states unified. Federal government has way too much to say about what the people do. |
Wow Penny Bags. I was going to write a response... but you seem to have taken the words straight from my mouth. And what's more, negative comments about race probably have more impact coming from a black man than myself.
One thing that caught my attention mjordan was your remark that four days is an inadequate response time, and that we can fly 10,000 men overseas in six hours. What you didn't think about, was that... well for one it's not a six hour trip. Two, when they take their trip to the Middle East, those soldiers probably took a week or more to prepare their equipment, ready themselves, and do any other necessary preparation to deploy. Troops deploying to help the victims of Hurricane Katrina aren't immune to the deployment process. Not to mention, they probably did a wheel convoy, plus the fact that a flood of such immense proportions is not a normal situation for the National Guard. I'm not sure what you wanted these people to do. Should they have been on standby with everything all ready to go, with C-130s and parachutes ready to drop from the sky? You're nuts if you think any armed forces could respond to such an emergency situation that quickly. (Except the airforce, they can bomb somethings that far away and that quickly, if you please) Yes, they probably could have prepared before the Hurricane hit, but I don't think that anyone really predicted the devastation that was reaped across the state of Louisiana. Obviously the citizens who were given the evacuation order either didn't realize the risk, or didn't care about their own lives enough to evacuate. Yes, Bush is reponsible for a lot of hindering things that happen to this country, but he is not responsible for the large scale devastation caused by this natural disaster. The Governor of Louisiana, the Mayor of New Orleans, and the individual cops who walked off the job and didn't take leadership, and the citizens who did not evacuate as ordered by their government, take the heaviest blame for this disaster. |
They couldn't predict the devastation the was going to occure? I think the fact that it was the highest number we have to measure a hurricane with would have told someone somthing.

Old people arguing is kind of cool.

Anyone with the ability to help that doesn't use that ability to the fullest extent is at fault.
The more it swings one way or the other, the more blame you can attribute or take away obviously. George W has a lot of ability... Did he utilize it well? |
k, I have the ability to help and I'm not. Does that put me at fault?

It is not your job to help. So no you are not at fault, but not overly helpful either. His job is the welfare of America, and delaying the help did not help the welfare of several thousands of Americans. |
