In America, we find it much more effective to evacuate people before the disaster strikes.
... and they're called Native Americans not Indians - please keep your racists comments to yourself.
im not even going to address our german friend other than to say that all lines were still up before the storm hit which is when they should have evacuated.
A new article about the death toll

I don't feel the number will be near that high. Think the mayor gave that high number to cover his a$$. If it turns out to be 500 or so, he will say, well we did a much better job than you thought we did ". If the number is that high, he can say "told ya so".

Shivo taking 3 - 4 weeks to die is an apple while those dying in nola and surounding locations are oranges. Shivo was in a hospital bed in a temperature controled room, her physical activity was limited to automatic bodily functions and a few movements here and there. The people in nola were in homes being flooded with contaminated water, indoor temperatures could easily reach the high 90's if they were stranded in attics the temperatures could reach 120 - 140 degrea's within a few hours of sunrise, physical activity would generaly be constant or close to it, water born infections were rampant and the bodies immune system would be working overtime taxing the bodies energy. Shivo's body was like a car at idle, she used little fuel so to speak while that of nola residents was a car running at 95mph across a bad dirt road in south dakota in the middle of summer, wich do you think would break down and run out of fuel faster?
I don't mean it racistic and I'm not a racist. I'm sorry if my English isn't good enough to bring that over but I guess, you understand me very wellCPanther95 said:... and they're called Native Americans not Indians - please keep your racists comments to yourself.
I'm a white guy and as a white guy I cannot being a racist if I say, most of the black guys are very poor people. It would be racistic if I say (as a white guy!) "let that black suckers die" but I don't do something like that and that is NOT my opinion! And it would be racistic if I would being a black guy and say "only the blacks are very poor people".
Believe me ... we Germans realy do know what we have to say. On the one hand, we're communists if we say "America is bad" and on the other hand we're racists if we say "The black are too poor and w/o any help of their government". In every case, we are the dumb asses
We don't say "Native Americans" for "Indians" or "African American" for "Blacks" ... no one is talking like this in Europe. I'm sorry for it. But I believe, that's a hidden racist system behind your system. The Americans are calling a black guy an "African American" but why do this poor guys live in a third class community? I've never seen a real rich African American. Michael Jackson is a white guy now. And others? Show me one, please.
I don't mean it bad. I realy support this poor guys ... whites AND blacks! But I have to say, that more percent of the poor people in the USA are black. And I believe, there's a hidden racist system behind.

Calling a black man "African American" doesn't make it racist though putting a persons country of origin before hand is a bit silly imho. There are allot of wealthy "black" people in this country, start looking at the wrappers like sean combs, Ice T, Ice cube, theres also athletes such as Shaq, Dennis Rodman, Berry Sanders, Jerry Rice, Shall we go into actors such as Morgan Freeman, Samuel L Jackson, Halle Barry, or maybe Ophra who is the richest "black" person in our country?
I cant tell you why there are so many black Americans that are below the poverty level, upbringing is part of it I believe because really your parents do make up a part of who you are. The system may be another part of it as would your peers and theres a life style associated with it as well, but the blame should not be placed on the shoulders of anyone thats white. All people in this country are equal now and have been for 40 or so years, it is a shame however that there are still white people that live in the racist past and are members of white supremacy groups and spout hate towards anyone thats not white and not born white here, and its even more depressing that there are many "black" Americans who harbor so much hatred and their own racist feelings towards all white people.
Right now your own country has its own issues dealing with the natzi skinhead groups that have been forming since the unification of all of germany and have been responsible for hate crimes and murder. If I'm remembering correctly to there have been school murders as well but this was a few years ago so my memory is following suit with my age.
One last thing before I finish, its common knowledge that many European news agencies are biased against the United States, really all news agencies are biased and fail to report news acurately and from a neutral stand point, so what you may see in your local paper there or on your television should be taken with a grain of salt and not relied on fully, I do the same here for when ever a news article pops up thats critical of any other country or ours for that matter.

Then please speak to what you know so it is a defendable position. Not doing so is the error many people outside of the USA make because the media told you so.

Yeah, it's really disturbing when others act the same way as usually we do, I agree.
