Who conventiently forgot about the Indian Ocean tsunami or the ongoing problems in Darfur and Chad when insisting "we help every freakin body all the time". Yesman065 posted what naive adults do when describing non-Americans as only second class humans. tw- she does not have that same hate of non-Americans as posted by yesman065. Instead she learns facts not based in Rush type specualtions. Instead she respects our friends in other nations.

When he gets older and unlearns extremist biases, then maybe yesman065 will do same.

Brianna, I think you were actually on pretty safe ground, AC- or DC-wise -- women don't sound like tw. However, on aesthetic grounds, you may have balked: men who are handsome, and do handsome, don't sound much like tw either.

Hmmm, AGAIN I have to correct the lies, BS and misinformation posted by tw - instead of dealing with the actual discussion at hand. This is growing most tiresome.

1) just normal FL hurricanes - well I guess thats one way to look at it - you obviously never experienced one! Perhaps next season rkzenrage can invite you down for a truly uplifting experience -

2) I didn't forget any of these. I repeatedly asked you to refute my statement. You, tw, have continually been unable to do so. *as usual* Post actual numbers in American dollars, or some other equal currency, showing the total amount of aid given by the US and the other countries. If not -then STFU and apologize as you should. Man up when you are wrong.

3)NEVER did I describe anyone as a 2nd class human, well maybe you are, but you really don't count since you're an emotionless Vulcan.
I have more friends and family from all over the world than you have any idea about. Don't prejudge me and make assumptions about my age nor maturity either. You have no idea who or what I am about.

SERIOUSLY I take personal offense to you making false accusations about me, posting untruths and, tw, outright lies.
SERIOUSLY

Actually in 2005 there were seven Hurricanes in FL listed as Category 3 or better, 4 of which were Category 5's. Just so we are all dealing with actual FACTS.

Which hurricanes struck FL as category 4? From Yesman065's citation:
Nate passed S at only 85 MPH.
Dennis only did the western Keys at 90 MPH.
Ophelia remains in the Atlantic at 40 MPH.
Rita did the southern keys at 100 MPH
Wilma crossed southern FL at 120 MPH.
Katrina did southern FL at 80 MPH.

Everyone FL hurricane except Wilma was a category one or category two. (I believe I am missing one that was a non-event in Orlando). Somehow this is a disaster?
Wilma was a 175 MPH storm but not when in FL.
Dennis was 150 MPH but only 90 MPH when near to FL.
Rita was a 175 MPH storm but only 100 MPH when at southern FL.
Katrina was a 175 MPH storm but only 80 MPH when at southern FL.
Elsewhere they were (or almost) category five. But not in FL.

Pass Christian MS moved all equipment 10 miles inland to protect it. Katrina storm surge flooded completely through Pass Christian and destroyed equipment ten miles inland. The storm surge was easily 20 feet or more. This storm in MS proves that FL had disasters as rkzenrage claims? That same storm surge crashed over a 17' levee, crossed two miles of marsh, crashed over another 17' levee, washed completely through St Bernard's Parish, crossed the Industrial canal, crossed another levee and entered New Orlean's ninth ward.

Let's see. How many hurricanes washed through Miami Beach, through Miami, through Hialeah and into the Everglades? How many washed completely through Naples and Fort Myers? How many washed completely through Clearwater and St Petersburg? None. None even came close. But rkzenrage could not make coffee? He had to eat peanut butter and jelly sandwiches? Therefore he suffered in a disaster?

Is it a full moon? I don't know what rkzenrage's winds were. But every FL storm that year was - at its worst - nothing more than a standard FL hurricane. Furthermore, destructive ones hit the Keys and Everglades National Park - lightly populated. Even Key West did not suffer massive damage. Where is this disaster? It really makes me wonder if UG is right? Are we all pathetic whimps? No electricity and that is a disaster?

When a real hurricane hit America, foreigners repeatedly tried to offer help. But a mental midget president, instead, went to CA for a campaign fund raiser. Aid was rejected. That proves to rkzenrage that only Americans are generous? Get a grip. Typhoons of 150 and 200 MPH struck the Phillippines, China, Taiwan, and even Vietnam. These were category four and five. At least one so strong that a new rating - category six - has been proposed. How well reported was it in America? But again, nobody in FL lost electricity? Therefore these typhoons were not serious?

Why should Chile and Italy supply assistance to rkzenrage? Learn from St Bernards Parish, Pass Christian, mainland China, Phillippines, etc. rkzenrage apparently has no idea what constitutes a disaster. But then numbers even make that obvious.

What you just made obvious is your total and complete lack of compassion, caring or humanity - you are unbelievably callous, cold and bordering on inhumane.

P.S. You still owe me an apology.

Yesman, tw isn't emotionless: win the argument and he will visibly hate you, spending an inordinate amount of time and words trying to secure a win -- which he's never cool and logical enough to see that the word-torrent serves about as well to dig him in deeper as to pull him out. He simulates rationality, but the simulation breaks down frequently, especially under well-founded challenges by persons better informed than he -- those who didn't learn history in Soviet-era Russia.

Believe me, my experience of him shows he has emotions -- but that none of them are happy. Happy men, fullfilled men, do not write like tw either.

How this squares with the brief burst of jokes earlier this month I do not know.

Katrina hit NO at 130, a strong category 3.
