    FEMA did a lot of things wrong during Katrina, including suspending the 2nd Amendment.

    My point was that people were warned DAYS in advance. FEMA should never have been an issue if people just listened to the warnings and got out of there. Its a troubling trend that people are becoming more and more reliant on government. Self reliant people got out of there, were safe, and dealt with their flood insurance to rebuild their houses.

      "Six Italian scientists and an ex-government official have been sentenced to six years in prison over the 2009 deadly earthquake in L'Aquila. A regional court found them guilty of multiple manslaughter" :wtf: They should have put to trial all the engineers and building contractor who did not do their jobs of designing and building that can withstand earthquakes. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-20025626[^]

        I agree with your point. It is, however, FEMA's job to deal with whatever happens, people listening or not, and dealing with lawlessness by confiscating guns is IMO criminal.

              Meanwhile you start a UK vs. US spelling debate? Please, now that is the new Godwin's Law.

              It had nothing to do with a UK v US spelling - pedo means foot to me (as in pedometer), but that's probably prevalent with me being a Talipes sufferer. And it would be a greek spelling debate if you want to get technical because pedo is derived from greek in both of those cases.

                  You can't let it go? It is just another UK vs. US spelling debate. You're wrong anyways, ped means child in Greek, as in pediatrician. pedo means ground or soil in Greek (not the root of what we are talking about). ped as in foot comes from Latin ped, for foot.

                                      Nah, I was only yanking your chain (even though I really was having my feet straightened).

                                      Does this straightening start out by taking ones foot out of ones mouth? :P :ducksforcover:

                                        No. It involves removing it from the arse of people who think they're funny. ;P

                                          Who's to say these priests don't have a foot fetish? ;P Sexual_fetishism[^] That could be priests in drag depicted in the linked article.
