As Hurricane Gustav gets ready to smack New Orleans square in the teeth, Mayor Ray Nagin is showing true leadership. Again.

If you decide to stay, you are on your own.

Uh, huh. Just like they were left on their own last time a major hurricane hit your city and you simply left people on their own. While you misused the National Guard for your own personal benefit.

The sad thing about the leadership of Ray Nagin is that the citizens of New Orleans are pretty much on their own almost every day.

______

Hopefully the people of New Orleans are heading the advice, though, and get out of town. Now.

I also hope that not another single dollar of federal taxes goes to rebuild this city. Again. This city under the water line is always another hurricane season away from total submersion. Let mother nature have it.

You know what? Those idiots in NO RE-ELECTED HIM. They get what they deserve if they stay behind.

The only problem with letting NOLA go is, we need it.
It is one of the busiest and most vital deep sea ports in this country, and serves the middle part of America with both exports and imports, using the interstate system and the Mississippi river as it’s connecting traffic hubs.
What we don’t need is the debauched attitude that permeates NOLA’s culture, and we don’t need the continued failures of a liberal city government.

Comment deleted by Robbie. Because it’s my blog, and I pay the hosting fees. Because I don’t have to pay/allow others to insult me and call me names in my own backyard.

Oh, but mostly because I can you pathetic piece of Eurotrash.

Good point about the port and the Mississippi River connection.

Having worked sea going black oil barges for a number of years — I have traveled the Mississippi and all of it’s major tributaries (Ohio, Missouri, Tennessee) as far as they are all navigable to commercial barge traffic.

So I fully understand the importance of the Mississippi channel through NO.

Oh Robbie, you’re not censoring your Blog to only have people agree with you now are you?

If that’s the case, give me the nod and I’ll be off.

I wasn’t insulting you, I was pointing out that your post sucked.
Sorry, is that insulting? Are you only posting for people to get a thumb up your ass?

Wanker, a persons blog is not a free speech zone, if the owner of the blog says it isn’t.
You revel in your being a vile, hateful person. I’m sure your mother is very proud of you, if she acknowledges you exist, that is.

Hi, jonjon. Couldn’t be here earlier, was out exercising my second amendment rights as a free man. Now good ole Robbie don’t need me to defend him, he can out write me any day (otherwise he would post on my blog), but I will say that your eurocrap snobbery probably has the opposite effect you intend it to have. Unless of course your intention is to get Americans to hate effeminate european douchebags. If that is the case, your right on track. Write on.

Not at all.
I acknowledge this is Robbie’s Blog and he can censor, edit, delete and add all he wants.
However, this being a world of free speech (well, the majority of it anyway) I would have thought opposing views to that of the ‘blogmaster’ would be welcomed.

[Editor --- Jonny, it's quite obvious I don't mind opposing view points on my blog, In fact, I'd say I'm about as liberal and tolerant in my comments section as any blogger. But you didn't merely "disagree" with me in the comment I deleted. You used my bandwidth to hurl vulgar insults directly at me. There's a difference.]

It is obvious by some of the people who post here that people like me, with views like mine aren’t welcome. I respect that. I understand some people enjoy a single minded viewpoint with no outside interference.
However, I have a right to post my views, unless the ‘blogmaster’ decides he/she wants a blog where he/she posts and then everyone agrees with that post.
If that’s the case, fine. Give me the nod and I’ll be off.

Personally, a little difference of opinion is healthy.

but I will say that your eurocrap snobbery probably has the opposite effect you intend it to have

Why is my opinion considered to be ’snobbish’?

Look through any blog post on here and you’ll see the myriad of abuse sent my way; ‘Euroweenie’, Lil Wanka, Rubber Jonny (my personal favourite) are some of the nicer comments I get.
Don’t get upset when you feel righteous enough to throw insults my way for me to then throw them back at you.

Listen, you want a blog for like minded supporters of everything Robbie says, say the word.
You want something with more diverse points then stop your whining.

Jonny

Don’t get upset when you feel righteous enough to throw insults my way for me to then throw them back at you.

You are not only an idiot of the lowest order, but a liar of monumental proportions.

Explain that.
It’s OK for you to call me an idiot or lil wanker, but you feel hard done by when I call you a redneck?

Double standards?

Jonny

Explain yourself!
You hurl insult and vulgarity, one after the other, then when we respond, you claim it was we who started it.
Get help.

Sorry N2l but it was indeed you guys that started it.

I came on here a while back to comment on a death row inmate. I was told my Euroweenie attitude wasn’t needed and that I should go elsewhere (stronger language used of course).
You constantly start your posts with Lil Wanker, whilst I call you N2L, and you are blind if you don’t see the amount of abuse thrown in my direction.
Sorry, but if you can’t take it, don’t give it.

The petty insults don’t bother me one bit, in fact it’s funny you guys can’t answer simple points without resorting to throwing your toys out the pram and using old school name calling.

You say TomAto, I say Tomato
You say lil wanker, I say redneck.

Jonny

Port of New Orleans, OK rebuild it with some Federal fund matching. The “P-trap” of humanity Domestic part of the City should look for private funding. Their luck has run out and we are at a flood me once shame on you, flood me twice, shame on me.
Maybe the French will want it back, we could swap them the French quarter for some current Nuclear Power Plant Plans…

Tarkas

Oh, Jonny…like Bill Shakespeare said in “Othello”:

Kill yourself, you fat motherfucker.

See what I mean.

Oh Sam, your comments don’t matter a Jot.
See, lame ass redneck types like you aren’t at the top of my list of people I care two shits about.

Have a good day.

Jonny

Sam, your comments do matter a lot. Welcome aboard!

Funny, you fat pig…nobody seems to think your comments matter much either. You’re like the fat, obnoxious kid everyone beat the shit out of in grade school. Eventually that obese waste of space killed himself or worked a shit job the rest of his life.
Since there’s no employment prospects for overweight slobs like yourself in England (other than sucking off men at the gym), I suggest you kill yourself. Placing your fat skull in the oven would be a good choice.

That’s funny, I thought my company turned over £520,000 last year and I thought I swam a mile a day to keep the athletic cut figure I have in shape.
Nope, you must be right…. you are a slime ball redneck after all and we know how much your opinion matters in the whole scheme of things.

Jonny

ZZZZzzzzzz.

Editor — Jonny, it’s quite obvious I don’t mind opposing view points on my blog, In fact, I’d say I’m about as liberal and tolerant in my comments section as any blogger.

Robbie, if by my post it came across that way or you took it that way then I hereby apologise unreservedly.

Jonny

Robbie, if by my post it came across that way or you took it that way then I hereby apologise unreservedly.

I love non apology apologies. You directly and intentionally insulted him. You have done this repeatedly to Robbie and to others. Now, you are afraid he will ban you. But considering your track record, it will be only a matter of days before you do the same thing again.

Absolutely not true.
Like I say, you call me names, expect to get the same back.
If anything, I have supported Robbies stance on his liberal approach to censoring - it breeds healthy debate.
Now if you could just take those ‘I hate everything that isn’t Texas’ goggles off, you might see what I’m talking about.

Jonny

There is a long long record in comments documenting your insults without provocation including, but not limited to, repeatedly calling robbie a racist. That’s not debate. Posting off topic and repeatedly hijacking comment threads, as you have in this one, is not debate. So, stamp your widdle foot all you want — you’re a liar.

Nonsence.

I call a spade a spade. I have seen comments posted by many that I consider xenophobic to the extreme.
A couple of previous posts that I posted with simply ‘RACIST!!!!’ was sarcasm.
If you read the blog, there was nothing at all within it to even give a hint of racism.

I am commentating on your country, your state, and you as individuals.
Hey, guess what, you may not like what I have to say, but that’s life.

Insulting? Not really, maybe it’s more the fact that you guys are red blooded, hot headed texans and you don’t like anyone commentating on your lives.
That’s not my fault really.

Jonny

Spin spin spin. No one is buying your crap.

Sorry N2l but it was indeed you guys that started it.

I know you are sorry, but from the first thread I visited here, this is what you had to say, and it was the third comment.

Expecting a backward thinking state like Texas to acknoweldge the greater morality of somewhere like the UK is a little to much to ask I guess.

It had everything, poor spelling, self-righteousness, and an insult to my State. You have only gotten worse. Whatever was said between you and others before then, I don’t know, but based on what I’ve seen of your nonsense, I’m certain you started the problems first.
You are a malcontent.
From my perspective, you are only a pathetic, vile creature, who wants to be noticed. Sorry you didn’t get enough attention as a child.
If it were up to me, I would have whacked you with the banning stick, long ago, as you offer nothing. Not reasonable debate, not information, not humor, nothing at all.
I consider you worthless.
That you are always injecting self-adoring fantasies as to who you wish us to think you are, further illustrates it.

Well you’re very wrong N2L.
My first post: http://urbangrounds.com/2007/04/26/ryan-heath-dickson/#comment-65301

See, there was a time we could debate things without the need for name calling. Then KMA comes along, uses his Euroweenie comment and all goes to pot.
Like I said N2L, if you can’t accept criticism, don’t give it out.

From my perspective, you are only a pathetic, vile creature, who wants to be noticed. Sorry you didn’t get enough attention as a child.

Nope, wrong again.
I enjoy social commentary. That includes looking at other countries as well as my own. I enjoy reading Robbies post’s as they are possibly as far removed from my way of think as possible - and that is what is most interesting. I support the right for people of any opinion to voice as and when they please. I will argue my point as often as I see fit and as long as people are adult enough to realise these are only opinions made from one person’s point of view, then everything should remain cool.

If it were up to me, I would have whacked you with the banning stick, long ago, as you offer nothing. Not reasonable debate, not information, not humor, nothing at all.
I consider you worthless.

And you are fully entitled to that point of view N2L. To me, these comments mean nothing. Nothing constructive to work with. Just simple insults. Now your posts on the other hand - when your not being a hot headed insulting texan - I find mildly informative.

That you are always injecting self-adoring fantasies as to who you wish us to think you are, further illustrates it.

I’ve never lied about a thing N2L (well, my height maybe a little), but all the rest is true. And I’m very proud of who I am - no need to fantasise.

Jonny

Jonny

Are you blind or just stupid? Your initial post on the thread you linked to is full of insults, factual errors, and out and out lies. That’s not debate. What a piece of work you are. I use to think you were just indoctrinated and weak. Now, I realize you are also stupid.

And you continue to hold this thread hostage because you have nothing intelligent to say on the topic — just like you have nothing intelligent to say on any of the topics.

MD gave you FACTS that you guys (the USA) have the death penalty, and you have a higher per capita violent crime (let alone homicide) record than us in the UK. The death penalty doesn’t work. Your maths of death penalty = less murders is ridiculous. You’re breeding them quicker than you can kill them!
Its your society that is at fault, and your a fool if you can’t see that.
The USA has the biggest class ridden society on earth. Some people are born poor to parents who are still children, they are given next to no education and then expected to earn a living to support themselves - they use drugs for an escape, or to puch to get more cash and the only way to do that is to get money - money that isn’t theres.
You have an almost laughable situation with your gun policy so what you are actually doing when you put the whole thing together, is producing killers even before they are born.
Your idea that we should keep our noses out as we aren’t from this USA shows your absolute lack of education.
Whereas we in the UK can tell you another countries name outside of where we live, you people like you seem to the the USA IS the world! We can have a debate about your country as much as you can have a debate about ours - it is our right as citizens of this planet we call earth.
The major problem we have is people like KMA think that if we have an attitude where we are against the death penalty, we must be left wing wimps. Its a shame things have to be so black and white with some of these rednecks.
I am actually in favour of hard labour. That way, the criminal is paying back a debt. What debt are they paying back by costing you guys over £50 a day for over 15 years of there lives?
You need to open your eyes a bit KMA, your attitude causes this situation to happen in the first place!

Maybe I’m missing something.
This was my post. All I can see is my opinion, plus a few actual facts.
There certainly aren’t any lies in that post.

What I find interesting is that you have ignored the myriad of insults thrown our by KMA during that post. It’s OK for him/her to be insulting because you agree with their point of view?

But hey, enough said now - it is actually your constant efforts to insult any post that disagrees with your point of view that take the thread hostage.

Agree to disagree.

Move on.

Jonny

In an effort to get back on topic:

I also hope that not another single dollar of federal taxes goes to rebuild this city. Again. This city under the water line is always another hurricane season away from total submersion. Let mother nature have it.

I find it hard that you can say this seriously.
What about the people who live there? What about the lives and businesses some of them have taken life times to grow?
My original point, that was deleted, was would you be saying this if we where talking about Austin? Or Beverly Hills come to think of it?

My thoughts are that ‘The Bush’ would have done a lot more if the water’s where rising around Rodeo Drive.

George Bush Hates Black People

Truer now than ever.

Jonny

Criticism?
That’s what you call what you have done?
Seriously, get help.

Help, I need somebody,
Help, not just anybody,
Help, you know I need someone, help.

When I was younger, so much younger than today,
I never needed anybody’s help in any way.
But now these days are gone, I’m not so self assured,
Now I find I’ve changed my mind and opened up the doors.

Help me if you can, I’m feeling down
And I do appreciate you being round.
Help me, get my feet back on the ground,
Won’t you please, please help me?

Jonny

He thinks by labeling his factual misrepresentations and insults as “opinions” that they magically morph into something other than factual misrepresentations and insults.

As you keep on saying ANON (will you ever be bothered to put a name in that field?), but you don’t say where this is happening.
Tell me exactly where I have given a fact that is incorrect in the above post?
Then we might get somewhere!

Jonny

Got something you want to say?
