I'm sorry but I don't feel a thing for these morons who refused to evacuate and now are begging to be rescued...So not only they are in danger but so are the people that have to go get them, they should have to pay for the rescue.

I agree that they are retarded and should have moved to higher ground and they wouldnt be my first priority


but..

They also pay taxes which fund public services such as fire, ems, police, coast guard..... so to say they shouldn't be rescued with out paying is a bit far fetched. "Our Government" has put these organizations into effect so when people do get hurt doing stupid stuff there is some one there to help them. If you don't agree with it then maybe you should vote differently.

I pay flood insurance on a flow controlled lake in MI that requires a 3' tall dam to even maintain it's water level. It's spring fed and only has an outlet via the dam. The lake hasn't flooded in the 175ish yrs people have been living there. I started having to pay this right after Katrina returned the swamp to a swamp............weird. Fuck flood insurance, you can't even claim on it unless the area is declared a disaster, which as pointed out above, the gov subsidizes everything in the area anyway. It's another tax to pay for said "stupid people" that built shit and live where they shouldn't. All it does is make my house harder to sell because now it's label "high risk" and the word "flood" scares people away. The even more fucked up thing is that even though the lake occupies 2 counties, only my county has mandated coverage. Evidently the lake will only flood in my county if it ever were to flood. I'm not bitter though :whiz:

Im curious how you all feel about the inicent children of the idiots who didnt evac? Are these kids supposed to suffer because the parents are idiots?
Im all for natural selection but we have the resources to rescue people,so leaving them to suffer,or die isn't really natural,just punishment.
