Poverty or death...

On a side note, a kid called Chris Sorrell at our sixth form was a month late for the new school year last year cause they got stuck in Florida because of hurricanes.

Then he got the nickname 'Hurricane Sorrell' and we spent a year singing 'The Hurricanes' theme song at him. The Hurricanes by the way, was a fantastic cartoons.

Ok, you grew up somewhere, are attached to the place, and have little money.

OH SORRY, NO SYMPATHY FROM ME

Finally, someone who agrees with me.


Living near volcanos isn't quite as bad, they rarely erupt and the soil around them is usually quite fertile. But living in an area that gets battered by hurricanes every year, it's just stupid.

Oh, and also, any people who die from a hurricane when they knowlingly live in a hurricane area won't get much sympathy from me. It's like feeling sorry for someone who lived on the side of a volcano, and then the volcano erupts...

I don't understand why we get so much news coverage of the hurricanes either. I'm sure when Katrina happened about 20 mins of the half hour news was devoted to it.

Obviously absolutely nothing else had happened in the world that day...

BOOM!
Kyoto justice.

I couldn't give a monkeys about all these hurricanes. All I know is our fence used to blow down whenever a strong bit of wind hit our area. That's until we got a decent fence bloke in to put a decent fence in. Now it's a fence of unimaginable destructive power.

Those americans should build their houses out of bricks and mortar, rather than hay and slabs of play-doh.

These people make me laugh : "Uh, I aina gunna let dis hurrimacane drive me from mah hous'. I bin livin here for nigh on 40 years ..."

These are the same sort of people who would watch the duck and cover film and believe a propped up door and a few bags of peat would solve their nuclear woes.

It makes me sick that 1500 people die in America and the world public sit with open mouths, then 30,000 people die in Pakistan and they only get minor attention. Meh.

Ironic though that the country that has the highest rate of carbon emissions gets all of the hurricanes ;)
