jimk29 Posted August 31 Report Share Posted August 31 I watched 9-11 constantly uninterrupted on TV.THISSSS I cant watch anymore. People who cant find their wives. People crying, holding on for dear life. I cant watch it. .... and to THINK that people are looting that Wallgreens? IVEEEE been in that store (down the street from the famous Bread/Desert place) - to think someone is looting THAT store means the antique shops near by with pieces worth each easily over $10K are being pillaged So of the great antiques of the south originate or are housed in New Orleans. This is a tragedy.Are you kidding me?You could watch 9-11 but can't watch this because it's a tragedy!? Was 9-11 not a tragedy? Did people not die? Could they not find their loved ones? What's the difference? Just that you have been in a fucking walgreens that was on television? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phatman Posted September 1 Report Share Posted September 1 ...none of us can fathom what is currently going on in this part of the country...none of us will be able to grip how bad things truly are nor should try to...say a prayer if you like...send money if you can...other than that, talking about it doesnt do it for me...and i would say it prob doesnt do it for the victims either....

elevatedflow Posted September 1 Report Share Posted September 1 in retrospect 9-11 & this are on 2 different levels of tragedy. The hurricane basically leveled a whole city and various counties. The World Trade attacks were on 2 buildings and many lives were lost. Soooo as far as comparing deepspell is right, apples and oranges .. one destroyed homes for millions and the other killed thousands and only damaged a small part of the surrounding area.... I guess its now all a matter of personal opinion on which is worse .. i personally say a whole fucking city having to be abandoned and millions of people displaced w/o anything that once resembled an ordinary life is worse .. again in my opinion. Im not saying that world trade wasnt tragic, in comparision the hurricane is way more devistating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
