Zebra,
I heard very little complaints from the people in the Biloxi area or even Mississippi area in genral.
95% of the complaining that I heard about came from the people of NO!
And alot of them are still complaining and wanting everything handed to them! They relocated to places like Houston and Charlotte, got into the welfare system and have stayed there refuseing to even go look for work!
Again I will say to not bend my words to say all of these people are this way, because even I know that there are some good people from that area. On my daughters softball team, one of the girls family came here from NO after Katrina and they are makeing a life for themselves haveing gotten jobs and another home and such. Yes they did get some assistance when they first arrived to the area to help them out, but they also have done something for themselves too!
That is how assistance should work! It is to help a person to become self supporting, not to allow these people to sit back and do nothing feeling sorry for themselves!0 -
No doubt that New Orleans was and is home to some serious trash, but I take offense at labeling all people from the area as trash.
Yes, they are disgusting, filthy animals and they have invaded your cities.
Do us all a favor and put them in a jail somewhere.
New Orleans was not always that bad, as late as the sixties, it was still a nice place. Housing developments were cared for and so was the city.
Trash moved in to the city, non trash moved out to the suburbs to avoid integration.
I see a lot being done to counter this trash, FBI last week brought down a councilman and are requesting public input for corrupt politicians. I hope that one day soon I will hear that former Mayor Marc Morial is being arrested.
Imagine how you would feel if you spent your whole Saturday afternoon raking the leaves up in your yard, only to come out Sunday morning to find that someone had scattered a bag of trash across your lawn. NO residents are dealing with that on an almost daily basis.
Don't judge all by the examples that you see in your town.
When they walk up to you and say, "Gimmie dis" or "gimmie dat", tell them to shut the F up and get a job.

And I did state in my posts about this that not all of the people from there are trash!
But I do feel that the largest percentage of them are!
From what I know of you here on the forums I would not place you into that largest percentage as you seem to be a pretty decent person.0 -
Why thank you.[^]
My family came to this country and settled in New Orleans in the 1860s. On my mother's side they were coonasses and had been here much longer than that.
I am a Land Surveyor, that worked for many years in the NO area and I have seen it all. I agree, there is some serious trash down there.
We moved to the north shore to raise our children, but I could see the day when we would move back. We loved living in New Orleans.
My heart and soul is in New Orleans, from the Mississippi River, to the New Orleans Saints, to the French Quarter, to the street cars that run down Carrolton Ave., etc. I love it.
Houston is a nice place, but my in-laws live there, so I try to avoid it like the plague.

I really don't care where it hits---just wished it or something would bring us some rain
we're dying here. No rain in weeks and temps 100+ for several days. Neighborhood lawns are all brown. I'm afraid trees are gonna start dying.0 -

I dont know about Dean but I will say this about Hurricane Katrina and New Orleans.I worked down there and lived for almost 2 years working on rebuilding the levees and working the upper and lower 9th wards.I love New Orleans but I will say that most of the people I came in contact with in New Orleans were lazy and shiftless. They were all complaining how there was nowhere to work and EVERY where you go down there has a help wanted sign or now hiring but they cant fill the jobs. Not because there arent enough people but because the people arent looking to work. We had a guy on our crew have trouble at home and had to go back suddenly so we asked a guy who had come up and asked us for some money if he wanted to come to work with us and we would pay him $12.00 an hour to do nothing but stand there and set up cones and holp a stop/slow sign and he declined the offer after he had already given us his BS story that he has been trying to work and couldnt find a job. I had to stick a gun in someones face down there because I walked out of my hotel room one night about 3 in the morning to get something to drink and somebody sneaking up behind me with his hand tucked in his shirt.My crew found 3 dead body's that people had killed and dumped in the lower 9th ward,there were people being murdered every night including an old woman who was on her way to work somebody ran up and shot her and then shot her husband when he came outside after she screamed help. I met a few good people from that area but THE MAJORITY of people in that city are criminal and worthless. I cant tell you how many arguements I had with people in the wards over George Bush and what not. I cant tell you how many gunshots I heard,stolen stripped vehicles I saw in the 9th wards,how many people got murdered in the almost 2 years I was down there. I like the city because there is just something about it but the element that makes up that city is criminal and worthless and it over shadows the people there who do want to work and put their life back together. And we had a ton of New Orleans natives show up here in Mobile after Katrina and guess what? All of our crime statistics drastically started rising. 0
