I didn't say it.
Blizzard victims are victims of blizzards. Flood victims are victims of floods. I have never said contrary.
What I am sayign is that the Blizzard mentioned in the attempt at humor in this thread was not as serious as the NOLA flood. The comparison is silly.
when you say it is not as serious, you make the distinction that one is a victim and one is not. At the very least you make the distinction that one is MORE of a victim than the other.
THE ONLY THING that makes that statement true is the actions of each person in each situation because BOTH will and DO cause people to loce their lives and or their posessions, Tornadoes do that very same thing.
You dismiss blizzards and claim the hurricane was so much worse. It wasn't the hurricane at all it was the flooding. Flooding is not a new topic in NOLA....surely you will agree with that.....yet you will say that blizzards aren't a new topic in areas prone to such events.
The only reason there were victims in NOLA is because people didn't listen to warnings they were given and in addition they expected others to care FOR them instead of taking actions to care for themselves. They aren't victims of a flood or a hurricane or even a blizzard, they are victims of their own choices.
