Quoted message said:...Just about ever year river front property floods. And, ocean front
property is destroyed by hurricanes. If you are dumb, and or rich
enough, to live in an insane location then you are the one who should
be paying for it.....
Completely agree, if I chose to drive a screaming new V8 Mustang GT, my
insurance rates will go up. And I'd be a real dumb ass to expect you folks
to pay for it.
.....If an entire city, is dumb enough to live under sea level then THAT
city is the party that should be paying for their own stupidity....
Again, complete agreement here. If I choose to leave my car in the drive way
24/7 with the top down, do I have the right to [censored] about the occasional
water damage that inevitably will result?
The truth has never been spoken more clear! It's unreal
that my taxes are going to such a thing.
Down With Disaster Relief!
Imagine how much better this country would be if we didn't
have to waste money on the following list of dumb folks:
----------------------------
- Alabama, Delaware, D.C., Florida, Georgia, Guam,
Louisiana, Maryland, Mississippi, New Jersey, North
Carolina, South Carolina, Texas, Virginia, West Virginia,
etc
Like you guys stated, every year hurricanes, tropical
storms, etc, destroy property. If you are dumb enough, to
live in an insane location then you are the one who should
be paying for it.
----------------------------
- Alaska
C'mon people get a clue!!! Earthquakes, winter storms,
flooding, etc, etc. Quit wasting my tax money by being
stupid enough to live in such a location.
----------------------------
- Arizona, California, Colorado, Nevada, etc
How many fires does it take before these people will start
paying for adequate fire protection and quit being a
financial burden to this country by continually requesting
assistance when it comes to fires? You're dumb enough to
live there, you deal with it!
----------------------------
- California, Alaska, New York
If you are dumb enough to live in an area where the ground
shakes, opens up, and swallows you... sorry, that's on you!
Some experts in the field say there is a 62% probability of
a 6.7 or greater quake in the next 30 years in the Bay Area.
Given the probability of such an occurrence, we should deny
help for those who are dumb enough to stay there.
----------------------------
- Alabama, Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas,
Kentucky, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi,
Missouri, Nebraska, New York, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma,
Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, Wisconsin, Wyoming
Ok.. just how dumb do you have to be to live in an area
where, with no forewarning, a giant funnel comes down from
the sky and starts throwing houses, cars, and everything
else around like they were toys?
May 3rd, 1999 cost us how many million to Oklahoma alone?
That surely wasn't the first tornado on record in
Oklahoma... if they were dumb enough to stay there after
repeated tornados, they should have paid for it themselves.
----------------------------
American Samoa, Federated States of Micronesia, Guam, Puerto
Rico, US Virgin Islands, etc.
These people live in places that aren't even states!!!
Regardless of disaster, no state = no help.. right? Even if
not, 4 typhoons (including 1 Super Typhoon) should be enough
cause to move right? People of Federated States of
Micronesia are you listening???
----------------------------
The list doesn't stop at natural disasters either:
----------------------------
The World Trade Centers were bombed with an 1,100 lb truck
bomb in 1993. Given the fact that it was already an
historical target, why was NYC dumb enough to leave the
Trade Centers open for future attacks? Why were people dumb
enough to continue entering those buildings?
----------------------------
South Dakota just received Federal Aid to supplement its
efforts to assist evacuees from areas struck by Hurricane
Katrina. Why should we pay for that? If they are dumb
enough to help others beyond their financial ability, then
they are the ones who should be paying for it... right?
