Well, again, I apologize. But, I did feel, initially, there was a great sense of apathy towards this particular crisis. And, yes, I was being a bit nasty and sarcastic, but, c'mon, people payed WAY more attention to New York City during 9/11 and cared a great deal more for California during...

Actually, the Mississippi river built the land we now call southern Louisiana when the last ice age ended and the river formed. This massive river carried all this silt down the continent and deposited all this soil to create our wetlands. It ISN'T natural for the land to corrode; the levee...

Well, my house is filled with black mold that is giving me a cough I can't seem to shake. Since the levees broke, it floods about 3-4 feet in my neighborhood every time it rains hard or just for more than a day. So far, I haven't had any water in my house post-Katrina, but I'm scared. My...

OKAY! "The Problem: * LA contains approximately 40% of the nation's wetlands and experiences 80% of the nation's coastal wetland loss. * LA is losing 25 to 35 square miles of wetlands per year and the highest rates are occurring in the Barataria and Terrebonne basins at 10 and...

Umm... Music Theory 101, common sense, and just plain New Orleans history? Why does Chicago get all the jazz cred? New Orleans IS the birthplace of jazz because of the slave trade and French law allowing slaves and free blacks to congregate at Congo Square of Sundays. The developed...

That hurts. EDIT: Honestly, if your state/country were disappearing and your government wasn't doing a damn thing about it, then don't you think you'd care then? I'm not trying to bitch, but many Americans don't seem to realize the importance of Louisiana's oil and seafood industry on a...

Read the article. My state is vanishing. And, my state has unbelievably important wildlife, oil, and bitchin' seafood.

Man, I wish the N.O.P.D. would escort me places. Those muthas wouldn't escort sh**! Th police in my city kill people and dump their bodies in the river or the industrial canal ALL the time. About a month ago, my friend Jeremy was murdered by the New Orleans Police Department. Hell, I...

That's so sweet! Thank you! I missed y'all.

French Fry PoBoy. ::k:: (I SUPER apologize if this thread already exists; I searched, and I couldn't find it.)

Officially, I'm 18; however, everyone THINKS I'm 22. Doesn't matter; no one in this town cards anyway.

NO ONE IS STRAIGHT!! :lol: I work for the Pub. Believe me, every "straight" man I know wants to take me into the bathroom. ::meev::

It is SO totally both.

I am a chameleon. I think I'll be a girl today (like most days).

I don't know, New Orleans is pretty bad. Last year, several N.O.P.D. officers fired 700 blank rounds in the 8th ward (my hood), and NO ONE reported it. 1 in 4 New Orleans murders is actually prosecuted. A lot of people really don't know how dangerous New Orleans is, and I think it's...

Does ANYONE care!? http://marine.usgs.gov/fact-sheets/LAwetlands/lawetlands.html

How safe is your city? My city isn't safe at all. As of yesterday, we had our 200th murder this year (in a population of roughly 250,000).

Who's your favourite Blues singer? For me, it's TOTALLY the Empress, Bessie Smith.

TECHNICALLY I live in the U.S., but New Orleans isn't really America.

Definitely "hmm." Then again, I usually think in terms of fashion or booze.
