The value of human life is subjective. Reducing the number of jeebo s is a means to an end. Intentionally reducing their numbers tends to be counterproductive, so when natural events cull the herd, you have to take what you can get, though the raw numbers are a drop in the bucket. If you choose not to value a human life, then it has no value. If you claim that it has intrinsic value, then you open a whole other philosophical can of worms and we end up recapitulating the last several centuries.
Many s were given. Sorry, gonna pull the "you were 12" card on you.
If you had been paying attention to the news, and listening to grown up conversations at the time, people did care, and still do.
It was at the time the largest terrorist attack in the US, and the after-affects were felt for a long time afterwards.
Not trying to be mean or anything, but most 12 year olds don't watch much news or read newspapers.
Benghazi... cough cough...
Although, the case can be made that Benghazi was a man-made disaster, not a ing tornado coming out of nowhere to kill school children and devastate a small community.
For the most part, yup.
Although ultimately two out of the 67 votes against it in the house came from OK. Wonder if the same two will vote against relief this time around?
Somehow I doubt it.
True. Although honestly I can't remember a time when diasters weren't politicized to some degree. I think we over-romanticize the past.
Not excusing anything, just noting that it seems more of the same.
I can, but that may be a product of a faulty memory. lol
Great comparison.![]()
True, but no one is saying "Haha Oklahoma! You got hit by a tornado!" (Well, maybe those people who were saying, "New Orleans people should know better, they live in a flood zone! It's their fault!") People are saying that the representatives voted against federal aid shouldn't request any. That's a "manmade" problem, in the sense that it's about the votes/stances of these politicians, not the damage from the tornado.
You mean besides bouton's, durant, and about a zillion commentors on Huff Po? Yeah, I guess you're right.
I stand by what I said and will defend it until my death. If you look at it from a historical viewpoint and not from a blue or red team viewpoint, you will see that 9/11 was given more attention because of where it happened. Again, just think about it for a minute. Think about it and possibly let go of some of your arrogance and pride and listen. If the attacks on American soil on 9/11/01 had happened in like Idaho, Montana, or Nebraska, it would have been viewed a lot differently. Since NYC is the biggest city in America, of course it's going to get attention in a tragedy like that. If that had happened in Helena, Montana, are you really going to tell me that everyone would be thinking about Helena, Montana for a while?
You're kind of a dumbass, aren't you?
I'd like to see a battle of wits between jacob1983 and SnC.
I think bobafett1 would beat them both.
Alex Jones Explains How Government "Weather Weapon" Could Have Been Behind Oklahoma Tornado

The Government "Can Create And Steer Groups Of Tornadoes," But Jones Isn't Sure That Happened In Oklahoma
Conspiracy theorist radio host Alex Jones explained to his audience today how the government could have been behind the devastating May 20 tornado in Oklahoma.
On the May 21 edition of The Alex Jones Show, a caller asked Jones whether he was planning to cover how government technology may be behind a recent spate of sinkholes. After laying out how insurance companies use weather modification to avoid having to pay ski resorts for lack of snow, Jones said that "of course there's weather weapon stuff going on -- we had floods in Texas like fifteen years ago, killed thirty-something people in one night. Turned out it was the Air Force."
Following a long tangent, Jones returned to the caller's subject. While he explained that "natural tornadoes" do exist and that he's not sure if a government "weather weapon" was involved in the Oklahoma disaster, Jones warned nonetheless that the government "can create and steer groups of tornadoes."
