Do you think New Orleans should have been rebuilt after Katrina?

Let this be a lesson to you.... Never ask a serious question in P&S. This is where the brain dead go to dump a load.

Yes, I believe it should have been. I know that some people (with a nasty agenda) feel that NO is a corrupt, poor, ethnic city not worth saving, but NO has, as Crash said, real cultural significance to this country. I think it didn't have to get to this point, if the government had been inclined to bring it up to the standards of the fictitious Hurricane Pam.

I think this is a good question.

By that do you mean, should we have abandoned it and stopped fighting the Mississippi River?

New Orleans has a rich cultural significance worth saving. Not all the City is on a flood plain, but it does take the Army Corps of Engineers a lot to keep things working.

There are lots of cities around that are fighting nature every day. Venice for one. Much of the Netherlands was reclaimed from the sea and requires a great deal of engineering to keep it that way.

Nope they should have kept one of the most prominent ports in the US that feeds the Mississippi into the Gulf of Mexico as a flooded cesspool that millions of Americans call home. This question is so stupid! I hope your state didn't give you a driver's license because nobody that would ask a question as dumb as this should be trusted behind the wheel. I would be safer behind the wheel after a six pack of Four Lokos than you stone cold sober.

I do. Maybe they should have considered building it someplace higher than sea level this time, but se la vie.

Yes, with sleek high rises.

No, at least not the tourist areas which are areas of corruption, debase behavior and lasciviousness.

I believe it should've sunk.

Uh...they did.

Do you live under a rock or something?

wasnt it ?
