Hurricane IKE

All off topic discussions go here. Everything from the funny thing your cat did to your favorite tv shows. Non-programming computer questions are ok too.

I think that these kinds of things (hurricanes/cyclones, earthquakes, etc) are going to happen a lot more often.
I also think that it would have been fairly hard to be less prepared for Ike than for Katrina.

@lollynoob: Just... No.

Personally, I think the people of Louisiana are very strong for surviving the events they have. Certainly, those that have survived have shown a lot more courage and bravery than you are likely to ever do.

No, you're an idiot.

I don't know of they taught you this (they being the trolls thats if you didn't grow up with, then you at least spent most of your days there) but, People dying is.....bad!

To elaborate: People dying is actually good. People need to be able to die. If no one ever died, we'd be highly screwed. But......our difference is that I think it's sad (people miss them, it's a tragedy, etc). You, on the other hand, have no emotional connection to others. So you're either a computer, and you need some professional evaluation, or you just need some professional evaluation.

I personally hope that the hurricane doesn't kill too many or destroy that much. Surprised?

You guys know, the hurricane hit Texas. The Texas coast is the worst. I don't know why you keep talking about Louisiana :? That was Katrina. Although, Ike was so big that it spanned the entire gulf (I'm pretty sure, can't be too certain, I didn't have power for 3 days to see the TV!).

I'm not being a "dumb babby", I'm telling you that being ... how do I put this nicely... I can't... an ******* about 1,836 innocent people dying is just awful.

Just freaking awful...

Mods, if you feel you need to, remove this post. I won't be offended.

I have branched Lollynoobs conversation and reply to the last post here to avoid this thread going any further off-topic than it already has. Try not to direct anything at Lollynoob into this new post and ignore any more posts of his here that are off-topic or derogatory, and they will be deleted.

Branched to, http://forum.osdev.org/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=18025.
