haven't you heard, everything is right in the world since Bush left office and Obama is in...so there is no need for any telethons or look-at-me-I-care parades.
they call it flyover country for a reason...that’s right! Can’t we all just get together and focus on our real enemies: monogamous gays and stem cells… - Ned Flanders
It is terrifying when you are too stupid to know who is dumb

My $0.02? I think Katrina outlined a lot of the problems the country had with emergency preparation, the levees, etc...Godfather. wrote:polaris_x wrote:soooo ... with all the devastation ... your gripe is with hollywood!??

Joplin, while awful, seems to be just bad luck.Believe me, when I was growin up, I thought the worst thing you could turn out to be was normal, So I say freaks in the most complementary way. Here's a song by a fellow freak - E.V0 -

well ... your subject seems to focus on hollywood and not the media ...
if i had to speculate - i would say that these "disasters" are not significant news anymore ... with mass flooding in parts, twisters elsewhere, earthquakes in other places ...
obviously - we should be helping these people but at the same time - i'm here to tell you it will only get worse with this stuff ...0 -

Personally... I think it is silly to even try to compare the two disasters.
Tell you what... let Joplin simmer for 3 days without any emergency response and leave the dead corpses in the streets and then... compare the two.Allen Fieldhouse, home of the 2008 NCAA men's Basketball Champions! Go Jayhawks!

What are you talking about man..... The coverage has been non stop on this disaster... Every 5 minutes the media is giving updates on this disaster. Front page of the LA times, Joplin tornado is deadliest in 58 years ..MSNBC has been non stop since yesterday...ABC has been non stop....What the hell are you talking about?? Why do you compare this to Katrina?
I'm curious if your comment is race based. ... ..0 -

What's weak? in regards to Katrina water was up to the roof of people's houses.... Do you think the average person could scuba dive into thousands of homes to pull dead people out? 1,800 deaths is much different then 118 deaths..... This just happen sunday night....Considering all the disasters that have been occurring each month ... I think the country as a whole is stepping up to help.... ...0 -

Wait. Do you actually believe the peole (families, neighbors, firends) should have helicoptered the dead out of New Orleans? They were stuck in the Superdome... you really think they had the means to take their dead out of there? How?
You can't seriously compare the two disasters, can you? You are comparing apples and Hedgehogs. The similarity between the two is that neither one of them are Volvos.
Like I said... let the people of Joplin sit on the rubble of their former homes with no response for 3 days in a row, then, get back to me.Allen Fieldhouse, home of the 2008 NCAA men's Basketball Champions! Go Jayhawks!

Race card? I'm simply curious since you have no point defending your thread....
What's the underlining point of the thread??? How do you compare the two? Can you defend your thread??? Cause it appears the media is all over this and it appears that people are helping those victims.....0 -

Ask yourself this, "What am I (Godfather) doing to help the people of Iowa?" "How much am I (Godfather) giving to the people of Iowa?"

Justin Bieber, Katy Perry And Longoria Reach Out To Tornado Victims

And why do I get the feeling that if hundreds of famous people descended upon Joplin, you'd be whining about how they were exploiting the tragedy for press or "getting in the way?"0 -
The midwest is not getting the attention Katrina did is because the PEOPLE are helping themselves/communities. Katrina was a disaster from the top (gov) down to the people. But the people of N.O. did nothing to help their situation. I had a cousin living down there during that time (about an hour and a half away) who also helped as a contractor work with storm damage and he told me some seriously messed up stories during that time.0
