Does this mean he's not invited to your Mardi Gras party?

But I don't blame him. Strommsarnac your post was really pretty ignorant.

Yeah... very true. So what you are saying is that you trust the government that already built failing levees and let loads of people die and have some blind faith that it was just a one off? Strommsarnac in all likelihood probably is an idiot 'fuckhead' but I have to say that people generally are.

I think you made a good argument RDC, but I don't think New Orleans is now some kind of safe haven for people to move to just because there a bunch of other cities that could potentially be fucked up.

I think there are fair arguments at both sides, its not as black and white as either of you make it out to be. Every argument I read on here is always its this way or the other way, can't we all just get along

I'm not making it out to be black and white. I'm trying to show some of the other colors available.

Take for instance Manhattan and the hurricane that's currently churning its way up the eastern US coastline. Forecasts say it'll head away from land. If that hurricane were to hit Manhattan , which is an island, it will flood like New Orleans did. So, let's get Howard Stern and all the people of Manhattan to move somewhere else. They should never have built there, right?

BUT no one ever says that about any place except New Orleans. I'm not saying that because other cities can potentially be fucked up it's okay to be in New Orleans. I'm saying be educated about it before you talk. New Orleans is no more unsafe than many other places yet people act like you would have to be insane to live here. It may help but it's not required.

The national media stopped reporting about the situation in New Orleans a long time ago. Whenever I go somewhere people think it's either all fixed or its still total devastation when the truth is really somewhere in between.

This short clip below is who I consider the Hero of New Orleans during the Katrina bullshit. No one got the job done like him.

I've been to NO 6 times, 2 for mardi gras and 4 to help rebuild and saw all the damage first hand. i went to plaquemines parish, where the storm first hit LA and saw them rebuilding the levees there. their were dead cows on top of 30ft tall trees the first time i went down there, water lines in the drywall in attics of 2 story houses. I can blame the people capable of leaving who didn't, they were idiots. i lived in houston when rita was supposed to hit and they said it was bigger than katrina. i drove my ass 30hrs straight to get out of the city. I love New Orleans, the culture, koonasses, food, history ect. most people are really nice there and alot safer then Baltimore where i am now

RDC, thanks for the insight. It's hard to explain what the attraction is, but NOLA is a great fucking place to be, definitely not for all, but it is for me.

Yep, the Jesus behind St. Louis Cathedral flicked the storm away at the very last minute. Instead it went and destroyed the coastline of my state.

Still, to the op, I've spent a lot of time in Nola and lived for a few years in DC, and I'd take Nola any day of the week. However, if you like being closer to the northeast and the east coast in general, then DC might be for you, but there is no city in the world like Nola. Besides, no one ever wrote a song called "Do You Know What It Means, to Miss DC"
