    it's looking pretty bad. i was thinking that new orleans was somewhat sparred, when katrina took that turn (unfortunately for mississippi). but once that level broke, i thought, "uh oh..". i can only hope for the best for them all, and i wish them luck. unfortunately, i fear the body count will end up being rather high, but who can say at this point?

    i saw that street interview with a guy harvey (harley?) jackson who lost his wife and house, where the reporter started to cry.. that was.. something else.
    now i'm here, and history is vindicated.

    My condolences to the families that have lost beloved ones and not "only" material things

    Regarding the help - I am sure that if the US administration requires support from any other country in form of special units or equipment this support will be gladly given as it will always be when asked for.

    Anybody who wants to help on a personal level can do so by donating e.g., to the Red Cross.

    Of course you will not see large donation rallyes as we have seen after e.g., the Tsunami - but to be fair - that is partly due to the fact that a lot of the material damage is covered by insurances and that the US is generally more capable of covering most needs by itself than countries like e.g., Thailand or Indonesia.

    This should however not prevent individuals to try to help via NGOs as naturally not all individual hardships caused by the tornado will be covered by insurances or the administration.

    That’s a good one.


    I saw on the news last night that my local disaster relief organization (red cross like) has already sent 3 truckloads of supplies south and are already planning more. A nice thing about the US is that we do have a lot of resources to draw from. And insurance helps too but it takes a long time, people are still waiting for claims to be resolved from last year’s hurricanes in Florida.

    I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

    Very surprising, coming from the home of the term schadenfreud. Thanks for the effort, Clegane.

    Between this and what happened in Baghdad it has been a terrible week. God have mercy on them all.

    Do you really think that racist humour is appropriate in this situation?

    Not all Germans are that shallow and idiotic!

    Sadly, a majority in the media elite and current government are.

    Wow, that's some thank you, considering we rebuilt the nation after THEY declared war on us back in the fourties...maybe we should have said "WWII Should be A Lesson To Germany on Global Domination" and left it at that.

    Why do you hate Freedom?
