Why fight the inevitable?

[dmcoco84 5]

"New Orleans is sinking three feet per century--eight times faster than the worldwide rate of only 0.4 feet per century. Currently, New Orleans, on average, is eight feet below sea level--11 feet in some places. "

Why fight the inevitable? It was underwater when we found it, and it will eventually be back underwater. I don't see why anyone would live that far below sea level in a coastal city anyway. I say leave it under water. Katrina put it underwater, Rita put some back, if there is a third one, I'd say it’s an omen!

Much of the Netherlands is below sea level too, IIRC, and they take adequate precautions. It is a challenging, but not impossible situation to deal with.

Besides, it would really suck to lose the city with the nation's best food.

The difference is that the Netherlands rarely get hit by huricanes.

Why yes, my license number is a palindrome. Thank you for noticing.

Good Point! I was just about to say that!

The Netherlands get hit by major storms often. that is why they have constructed sea walls that can be closed off to guard against the storm surge tides.

New Orleans needs to be cordoned off and turned into a military urban traing area. It would cost a hell of a lot less to do this and provide more realistic training for our troops. Plus one less corupt mayor and administration to deal with.

And lots of ammo, don't forget the ammo.

And that flood is what promted them to build the sea walls.

Well yeah! They have all those little Dutch boys running around in wooden shoes to stick their finger in a dike at a moment's notice. Maybe we need to import some of them to Nawlens.

LMAO
This is how some ppl see the world outside their borders?
LMAO

BTW:
These wooden shoes are only made for US tourists

You should have a closer look to technics in NL, just tell you: Hat off! Perhaps need to import a little bit of THAT??

Shouldn't you be eating sauerkraut and drinking beer?

Actually, that sounds pretty good. I'm going out.

Yep. Just had to stop for a moment...
Nothing better than handmade/prepared Sauerkraut.
You'd sell your soul for it

Cajun food is topic?
OK, if you say so...
Let's go outside and handle it like cowboys! [Mad]

Means:
(I prepare a nice Sauerkraut for you,
you invite me for a special Cajun food)

>I prepare a nice Sauerkraut for you . . .

Did you know that sauerkraut shares something in common with beer, bread and yogurt in that it uses bacteria to process the original food into something more tasty?

[christelsabine 1]

Yes, I know. Fermentation f.e. I'm a farmer's kid. My parents used to do it. All hand made. That really is the best.

And if someone needs to lose some kilograms in short time: Eat pure Sauerkraut (out of a keg), that helps a lot, I tell you . But, always try not to stay too far away from WC.

I thought beer and bread used fungi to do that.

leave it under water and call it New Venice.

[Shotgun 1]

Mmm sauerkraut... Much better than Cajun food. I'd sell you my soul for some, but I sold that thing years ago.

As for rebuilding New Orleans, if it were any other city I'd say screw it, but I love that city (even if I don't like their food) so I'd like to see it rebuilt.

This is what really annoys me. Reports that state meaningless statistics. Pray tell me, what is this "worldwide rate"?

Are all landmasses sinking at a rate of 0.4 feet per century? I don't think so.

Did you know that Dropzone.com is getting 15 times the worldwide traffic rate. Guess what? I am twice as intelligent as the wordwide bullshit rate.
