And they want to rebuild New Orleans? What fools are running this country?
LOL It has nothing to do with those running the country. Have you not watched any news? The people there are living in their attics because the rest of the house in under water and they still dont want to leave. If the government said they could not rebuilt there our taxes would have to buy every bit of land there from them and then land in a new location for them to move onto. It still would be very very costly. In addition we would still have to drain the city and do a total tear down of the entire city then blow the levies again.

They did somthing similar to a city farther north on the mississippi years ago. The city was only 900 people and it cost the US taxpayers big bucks.

I keep thinking about it and seeing photo's, how can they possibly rebuild it? everything is ruined, think about it. Everything underwater, powerlines, cablelines, tanks, wells, everythings been contaiminted, including oil lines, gas lines, gas underground tanks, long road that's for sure, i voted to bury the city with dirt and build a new one but that' sme.

They are probably just going to wait for all the water to dissappear, clean up all the debris, and "attempt" to rebuild/build new buildings. We'll just have to wait and see if this plan actually does work.

I dont think that any politicians, local state or national did enough in advance to evacuate the cities that were hit. but that cant be changed now. I was told in my history class the other day "when politicians make decisions they do it on the best of their knowledge. they don't know what is going to happen they only know what has happened." like during the spanish american war america made cuba a free nation that we didnt control, but we didnt know that castro was going to take over. i dont think that this is an apocolypse or God not caring about us or anything like that. i believe heavily on God. Like babybaby said, i have had many things bad happen that i have only gotten over through having faith and God in my life. I am not saying that everyone should be the same religion as me but i went through an eating disorder, a huge phobia that almost ruined my life. my aunt and uncle have lost so many children yet they keep trying to have more and going on because they believe God will take care of them. It says this in my favorite movie "Awalk to remember" "without suffering there would be no compassion" we are the ones who cause the diseases and horrible things that happen in the world by not living the way He wants us to. It is our own sins that bring on trial and tribulation. i am not saying someone dying is because they are sinners but the sins of men have created the tragedy of men. no one is perfect and the sins of the world cause the bad things. also the devil tries to do bad things to cause people to doubt God. that is why bad things happen. he is trying to get us to stop having faith. you may ask, why does God allow this to happen? if He is all powerful, then why doesnt he just stop the devil. Well it is to see if we are loyal and to make sure we are really commited in a relationship with him. to make sure our faith is strong enough. just like he tested job to see that he was a true follower. he is allowing us to be tested. to make sure we are faithful. that is what i believe anyway and i am sure there are many things that have been talked about between the first page of this forum and now but these are the things that really got me going and so i commented on them.
