I don't....thank the media for that. And for you to get mad and write detailed explanations only makes it more humorous.....I was trolling this thread sherlock. If you know how jerseyans are then Aller merde vous you credulone di gallo.
It was blatantly and annoyingly obvious that you were trolling. Regardless, to just chalk it up as, "Oh, I was just trolling" is BS. I don't care what grounds you think you have to act like a jacka$$ because it doesn't change the fact that you are a jacka$$. Get it Watson?
Well then, I'll have to call up our friend Brucey Bruce and get the Bada Bing boys together for a 'lesson.'
See? You can make a joke too! Trust me life is alot easier when you don't get rowdy and offensive at everything you see.
Of course I can make a joke. Like the fact that I can point out that life is also a lot easier when you know how to spell 'a lot.' I guess the joke is on you!
Ok, you wanna correct my grammar feel free. I'm not a english major. Anyway, is there a Wall St. in LA? Reminds me of NY.
I am a currency trader with a Finance degree. Everything that is Wall St. concerns my career. Seems appropriate enough to me! Maybe I should have gotten a degree in English
Ok, you got me there...I was thinking location instead of it being the symbol of money. Thread-wise.....Not much dialogue here in this region....Glad I was given the oppurtunity to provide entertainment.
Politicians and demagogues, whatever the shade of their skin, will ALWAYS say and do whatever they think is necessary to be elected or re-elected. This is the basis of politics in the entire history of this country. Nagin just proves the point. Forza, Cavallini
apology issued: http://reuters.myway.com/article/20060118/2006-01-18T014402Z_01_N17385026_RTRIDST_0_NEWS-HURRICANES-MAYOR-DC.html
Apology NOT ACCEPTED. I will only accept the RACIST C. Ray Nagin's apology when it accompanies a resignation
Sparta, I hear you man...but if we are going to call for the resignation of RACIST persons in office, the list is a HELLUVA lot longer than just Mr. Nagin.
I'll be happy to start with the RACIST Ray Nagin. It is only fair that he resign if he were a white offical and had said that he wanted a Vanilla New Orleans I am sure that Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton and the vast majority of the media would settle for nothing less than his resignation and branding as a RACIST so that is what should be the fate of the RACIST mayor of New Orleans
You're an idiot! Shut the "F" up! Newark and Jersey City are worse than the 9th Ward in N.O. Move on and stay away from this thread.
How's that vitamin business going Alex? I was looking at that infocommerical where people make what....up to 6,000 a wk? I was thinking its a pyramid scheme/if you start now your done, but let me know if your making good money!
Sparta, I don't condone racism in any form, but let me ask you this: Do you really believe that Nagin is racist? Or do you think that he simply made a stupid comment that could easily be misinterpreted??? I am a young black man who was born & raised in Louisiana so I know a thing or two about racism. I was having this conversation with some of my buddies and we all agreed that the comment was stupid and that he sounded like he lost his damn mind, but on some level, I took it as him trying to appeal to the hundreds of thousands of blacks who ARE NOT coming back. I personally had family in friends in the 9th ward & out in the East. Most of them are saying the same thing "Man, I found a good azz job in X, I like it here, I am making more $$$ than I ever did in NO..." Many of them have nothing to go back to, and don't think that they could ever have it better in New Orleans than where they currently are. I think Nagin is trying, albeit in an fcked up manner, to appeal to the people who are on the fence about coming back and perhaps even those people who have made up their mind not to come back...But from what I know and what I have heard, many people from those areas are not going to find their way back no matter what Nagin says or does... Either way, what he said was just plain stupid and re-affirms what we all already knew...His political career is toast.
When I lived in Cincinnati, They would rally once a year in the center of Downtown. I was raised in Alexandria, LA. Those fools hold rallies sometimes out in some of the smaller outlying areas and I hear about it. Everyone knows it goes on, but no one really talks about it... I don't think I would go over well at any of their rallies being of a, shall we say, darker hue.
T urdbird4life, you're pretty amazing. The Mayor, I think, is dealing with more than almost anyone can humanly bear. Only the Galveston 1900 disaster was worse, they burned and burned and burned the bodies, dumped them at sea, they washed back up......etc. So I personally don't need any kind of history lesson from a 20 year old kid, padner. Simply put, many of these neighborhoods won't be back...we dealt with FEMA here in Houston. If you settle with them, many did, it's the best financial deal for an outright owner, but they don't rebuild your house, they mail you a check and the bulldozer comes by and it goes in a dumpster! The land is forever condemned. The government, as usual, watches out for the government. Renters and other occupants get nothing........so it's quite realistic to see where larger families would come up immediately 'short'. So, gazing into the crystal ball, thinking of those Urban Design classes of oh so many years ago, I see the city forever transformed by this tragic event. Even if a decision was reached to raise the levees to Cat 5 storm levels the footprint would be HUGE, a large Imminent Domain foreclosure, with no historical precedent. It will indeed be difficult to make hard decisions, and I think it's a 'no win' situation for the Administration of the City. No way can they make everyone happy...but nature abhores a vacuum, and I for one am very supportive of the displaced musicians that made it to Houston, Texas and I think many who are so heavily indentified with the area are not resettling here, but are anxious to return....others in more immediate need in the service industry may in fact find a better 'gig' and never return. There's the challenge of cutural preservation. Gatemouth Brown won't be back. The sports fishing industry along the coast is all but destroyed across a three state area now, between Katrina and Rita, it'll be years to recover. So it's really a HUGE picture to wrap your mind around......huge. I will say, IMO only, he was in grave error to say these statements, even during the remembrance of MLK Day. Somehow, he or his speech writers went horribly wrong on how it would sound...they say Winston Churchill practiced for days in front of a mirror, but Ray Nagin has made it this far by being a little more "man on the street"......a strange blend, given his actual Big Business background.....I really hate to see anyone, media included, play this as a race issue. It's a people issue, last time I looked. I guess it's the Full Moon. It effected Bode Miller the same way! I'll be quiet and see how this looks on the screen........it's been very hard to watch.
