    i love when people talk about a place they arent from like they know whats going on. all your information is based off mainstream news, and other people's thoughts on what should have happened.

    but to the subject at hand...does it really matter if that couple stayed in that house or not. they didnt do anything illegal but sell a house GIVEN to them. last time i checked if someone gives you something you can do whatever you want with it, but dont get me wrong, i'm not condoning their actions since profiting off charity is BS when someone else could have definitly used that house.

    for other comments...i dont give a shit whether N.O. is under sea level, it was and still is my home town. and i do miss it. and i'm sure people born and raised there still feel the same.

    yes the media focuses on N.O. hmmm why? cuz people were left there for like 5 days till they were rescued that is why.

    bottom line is Katrina was a unique storm with unique aftermath. New Orleans has been hit plenty of times in the past by hurricanes and survived, same goes for the gulf coast, although flooding was always an issue. Just to name some past major storms, Betsy and Camille. wasnt Andrew another? the levee's held then, right? weren't we under sea level then? my point is if you were really from there you'd have a different POV to share...

    put your self in the victim's shoes...you try picking up and relocating with nothing to a unfamiliar place. then share your thoughts after experiencing that.

    Tampa
    Miami
    New Orleans
    Galveston

    all those cities have dangerous areas below sea level.. and the same thing that happened in NO can happen to all those cities, it has happen in some of them but not as bad yet.

    If she did some underhanded shit like that I'm sure she already burned through the money she made anyway... trust me $88K doesn't go far especially when you're starting from nothing. The bitch will stay broke..

    And I said it before but after Katrina happened and people started relocating here, I swear those were the worst customers I ever had on my job. 99.9999% of them acted like the world owed them something and everything should be free. I know not all of them were like that but the ones I had were, every one of them.

    I feel sorry for people of New Orleans, if they knew shit was going to hapen they would have evacuated; Im sure. Katrina is not that bad compare to whatz gonna happen if Korea and other countrys don stop fuckin' with da planet.
