GIVE ME A BREAK!!. These people watch way too much TV. Rescue craft will be picking up and delivering food as I type. National guard is on the way.
This is not some fricken african sh*ithole country. It's the USA
You've heard of the term getting bombed back to the Stone Age? New Orleans is getting flooded back to the Stone Age.
Judging by the reports, there are plenty of folks who are acting like it's the sh*thole, though. The mere act of living here doesn't make a person civilized. A lot of the folks left behind in those parts of the city clearly are not.
You took that one comment a little out of context.
When you are surrounded by diseased water, snakes, rioting, looting, shooting, screaming people, with no food...it's a situation most of us have NEVER been in and never will be in.
And nearly all of us would be scared out of our wits.
