Based on this post, I'd say your not worth saving. Kudos to Obama for helping chlorinate the gene pool.tampa_griz wrote:HURRICANE is here!,,,, where is the federal government to save me?

Fargo saved it's self from the flood and the federal government. The government ordered the town to evacuate, the mayor told them to f off. The residence stayed, worked hard sandbagging etc, and saved the town from flooding.tampa_griz wrote:HURRICANE is here!,,,, where is the federal government to save me?
Can't expect the government to help unless there are votes at stake via pressure from the media.

That formula didn't work out so well for the residence/residents of New Orleans when Katrina hit.
You are usually better off heeding the warnings.

Show Id to get sand bags but don’t have to show ID to vote and what does 5 sandbags do for you
Hurricane Irene: D.C., MD, VA,
WJLA ^ | 26 Aug 2011 | By Jessica Binsch, Jennifer Donelan
A tropical storm warning was issued for Washington, D.C. District residents can pick up sandbags (up to five per household) at the D.C. Department of Public Works at New Jersey Avenue and K Street Southeast. Residents have to show their D.C. ID to receive the sandbags, which weigh between 40 lbs. and 50 lbs.
Pain or damage don't end the world. Or despair or fucking beatings. The world ends when you're dead. Until then, you got more punishment in store. Stand it like a man... and give some back. Al Swearengen

Re: Obama doesn't care about Floridian
Which was what the government told them to do. What is your point? Listen to the government when there is no other choice, grab a sandbag and tell the government to f-off when there is a choice?Gil Dobie wrote:There was really nothing that could have been done in New Orleans except to evacuate.BlueHen86 wrote:
