We Are Smarter Than This!!! | |
| Anonymous Coward User ID: 71433356  United States08/25/2016 04:39 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | For 150 plus years we have been building homes the same way. I saw a lady say that only 2 years ago in Kokomo this happened. Just this month all we have have watched is homes being destroyed. In Louisiana some of the saying this is the 3rd time. Right now today ,,,we have to stop doing things the same way. So lets think this out if you live where there is floods you have to build on stilts a must or no money. If you live where there is tornadoes or high fire risk you must built according or no money . [link to www.youtube.com (secure)] .

Some say that cost Oh Really 2016 (as of July), there have been 8 weather and climate disaster events with losses exceeding $1 billion each across the United States. These events included 2 flooding events and 6 severe storm events. Overall, these events resulted in the deaths of 30 people [link to www.ncdc.noaa.gov (secure)] |

| Wisconsin User ID: 27225716 United States08/25/2016 05:32 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | ... those houses that make it through the CA burn are those whose building material and yards are "fire resistant" ... . ... those houses in tornado alley will probably "survive" if they are semi-underground ... had friends who built such a house ... . ... maybe other houses should be built on hills to increase survivability from flooding? ... . ... maybe people should pay more attention to the area where they live ... . |

Because if they didn't build on flood plains, then the dumb asses that do it, wouldn't die. Because if they didn't die then there is no purpose to them breeding and allowing that level of stupid to continue. They serve as a live example to the given testimony that they are very dumb, easily tricked and have the attention spans of hamsters on crack. There is nothing you can accomplish in trying to fix stupid. You stand back and let it happen. |

Quoting: Goofy for God What if your house had to be built so that it could float? Then you would have poles and holes to keep the house in place. The poles wouldn't be visible ordinarily, you'd crank them up out of the holes if there was going to be a flood. Then you'd tie up the house to the poles. And the house would float. |

Face Palmer  User ID: 43285854  Germany08/26/2016 08:22 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The wood would rot away "The world will soon wake up to the reality that everyone is broke and can collect nothing from the bankrupt, who are owed unlimited amounts by the insolvent, who are attempting to make late payments on a bank holiday in the wrong country, with an unacceptable currency, against defaulted collateral, of which nobody is sure who holds title." Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity. The woman who is not pursued sets up the doctrine that pursuit is offensive to her sex, and wants to make it a felony. No genuinely attractive woman has any such desire. - H.L. Mencken, In Defense Of Women |
