[quote:davvi:MV8yMDMzNzY4XzM0MTg4MTc4Xzc3QTlENDZC] [quote:Anonymous Coward 26673091:MV8yMDMzNzY4XzM0MTg4MTI3XzlBNjEzREJG] [quote:davvi:MV8yMDMzNzY4XzM0MTg3NzExXzRDMUE3QUQ=] [quote:Anonymous Coward 23769393:MV8yMDMzNzY4XzM0MTg3NjM5XzM5RUUyNzJB] I'd like to apologize to other nations coming into this thread reading this garbage. Not all Americans are mindless ingrates. [/quote] oh would you stop...what i am saying is that we don't need their financial help but that doesn't mean that it is ok for them to come here and laugh and gloat at our disasters. jesus christ. did you miss the posts? [/quote] What you call a desaster seems to many people in the world to be a media-hyped hysteria, a mix of a terrible storm, wooden huts built at the oceans edge on hundreds of kilometers of beach areas where no one in his right mind should build a house and expect it to last, antique electric power lines built in the cheapest way possible on wooden poles in one of the richest couzntries on earth in one of the most densely populated areas of the US east coast, a system of transporting electricity hard to find anymore in any other developed country, people having no idea of natures forces anymore and a gouvernment which is using this storm for its own agenda. See, Germany regularly is affected by flooding and storms. In 2002 the water levels at the Elbe river surge were 10 to 12 meters. *That* is flooding on an epic level. The four Rhine river floodings of Cologne in the 20th century with water levels up to 12 meters were on an epic level. The Hamburg storm flood of 1962 with water levels of 6 meters above high tide sea level 200 kilometers inland from the north sea was epic. What you experience is not epic. it is a sad anmd terrible natural desaster of a larger scale in a large highly populated area most vulnerable due to settling large urban areas at the wrong places and poor and mostly cheaply maintained housing and infrastructure, completely overhyped by the media. OIn the worst days of WWII, when Berlin was raided by bombs day and night, the city mostly in ruins, the Russians approaching, 4 million poeple plus 1 million refugees managing to survive somehow the U-Bahn underground transport system was flooded so often that no one can count how often, and every time it was flooded it was freed of water in a mere few hours again whilst bombs were falling and the whole city was a mess of fire, death and destruction. The public transport system functioned quite perfect throughout the war no matter what. Such a situation can be called epic. And if you wish to find an example of what "epic" is: Have a look at the San Francisco earthquake of 1906. And how that city managed to get over that *real desaster* in no time. [/quote] oh i see, how stupid am i? this isn't awful enough to impress you or bad enough for you to stir yourself and offer a word of compassion? gotcha. that straightened me right out. [/quote]
