LOL
More than 200 homes were destroyed...
More like tarpaper shacks, given the photos of the affected area.
I had to read the release twice to make sure Scrappleface wasn't the source.

Damages could easily run to 20 dollars American.

Weren't there buses to get them folks out of the hurricane/tusami zone?
Where was the mayor? Nearest high-rise hotel?
Why couldn't FEMA get there and pull them fellas out in time?
Were the levees active and working?
Didn't they have a super-dome or something to stand around in and wait for the national PLO guard to come for them?
Will there be trailers brought in for these folks to sleep in while the mess is cleaned up?
Will folks move out of the Gaza Strip and resettle somewhere else permanently...thus triggering a low-population density situation?
Can Mardi Gras be held next year in the Gaza Strip on time?
Was the 9nd Ward of the Gaza affected by this?
Are there any people staying around their homes with weapons drawn illegally?
Did 30 percent of the police force of the Gaza turn out to be non-exsitent?
Did folks rob homes and such while the rescue was underway?
Can we set up tent citys and trailer parks to help them folks?
Finally...is there a Hamas-type George Bush that can bring in promises of $100 billion and help rebuild the area?

We like to poke fun at stuff like this, and it does have elements of potty humor.
But these people were living in poverty so mind-numbing that the average American cannot conceive of it.
Travel the world and you become so much more greatful to live in a swell place like the USofA.

Travel the world and you become so much more grateful to live in a swell place like the USofA.

More likely our George Busch will promise $100MMM of our money.

"...A huge sewage reservoir in the northern Gaza Strip collapsed Tuesday, killing five people in a frothing cascade of waste and mud that swamped a village and highlighted the desperate need to upgrade Gaza's overburdened infrastructure..."I wonder if this is how the pali-maroons accidentally bump into reality, and if it happens all the time?
Even common sense dictates that if you live downstream from a HUGE SEWAGE RESERVOIR, you either move away, or get-your-ass up there and check for cracks!! .................. FRegards

The director of engineering at my first job out of school told me he was on some board in his town. He decided to get involved when they wanted to build the water works on the downstream side of the sewage treatment plant.
To: Calvin Locke
"...they wanted to build the water works on the downstream side of the sewage treatment plant..."Incredible! And it happens all the time!
Usually, it's some member of the City Council, who just happens to 'control' the land (the rights aquired the week before), that pushes his/her land for the municipal development.
Been through it, and I owned the land! Still do! ............. FRegards

They wouldn't be living in poverty if they weren't a bunch of murderers ,terrorists,and criminals.On average,they are too dangerous and must be isolated.It's sad for the children,but the rest of them live in a hell of their own making.

I will admit to a slightly different viewpoint based on up front and personal observation of real (not like in the USofA) poverty suffered by folks overseas.
Some of it is their 'fault', mostly tho, it is not. They do suffer at the hands of their fellow man.
