How are they spending all this money on Flood relief?

[Damien]

5 more years of this muhahahahahaha we time now

[Damien]

^ let the people eatahfood nah not everytime they will get this

[Damien]

come out you house and see what damages the flooding caused, this is the worst flood i ever seen in trinidad

[Damien]

because of man littering yes but also because no one put the proper infrastructure in place instead we get high rise buildings and stadiums for windball cricket and small goal football

[RASC]

i say do like what Evo_STi-K was recommending back in the day...builda wall around the flood prone areas...to keep them IN!!....


Build the WALL!!!

!!!!!

This is a WONDERFUL idea...that way no water gets in...none gets out

problem solved!!

KACFAST!

[RASC]

on another note...what if the beetham had get these same "devastating floods" and PNM was in power and they decide to give them money...

de mounta ched we woulda see here eh...

isn't this just the next side of the same coin?

Jed the forum woulda crash

Buying votes
Racism
Discrimination

Would've been the trending topics. But alas it's UNC all is forgiven why? Cause manning gorne and is W_ ____ ___!

[DFC]

pios yuh real kill me with the "kicking rover" talk.

its not just "we time now"
but rather.

"WE RUN TIN[color=#BF40BF]G[/color]S NOW" so allyuh who vote balisier HYMC.

Pios, I get some of the points you're making, particularly about taxpayers' money being used to bail out squatters. However, you don't have the facts to present a strong enough argument here. It's valid, but there are no facts to back up your point.

And yes, it is nature in some people to take advantage of "relief", abuse it and misappropriate the real purpose behind it. Some money will end up in hands that don't need it or deserve it. The government seemingly acted in haste to provide relief, unlike the response by the US government when New Orleans was hit by perhaps the most devastating hurricane in its history.

In New Orleans, water rose high enough to cover houses. People sought refuge on their rooftops. There was no control over that, they could not save their children's school books. I think you're being ridiculous to chastise people who could not secure their homes from 3-4 feet of rising, raging water. Yes, what happened in New Orleans was the fury of nature, and to some extent was the flooding experienced this week at home. However, don't dismiss the years of neglect the people of this country have experienced by the people they elected to serve them. The flooding situation has worsened year after year, while the country flourished with billions of dollars from oil and gas revenues. Indeed, people should be accountable for the environment around them, but how far can they maintain this when their tax dollars are abused and wasted and not being used to support the regional corporations to remove garbage, provide pest control services, and the provision of basic amenities like water, electricity, health care and security? TSTT and Digicel do a better job at connecting people and providing service than any other in the essential service industry.

And yes, we think and believe that adults can fend for themselves, but you don't know their circumstances, do you? What about the man who was paralysed in an accident caused by street racers - can't work, is confined to a wheelchair? The mother who was severely raped and drugged by her kidnappers that her brain is damaged for which medical help is out of her reach? Thankfully, most of us were brought up and trained with survival instincts, but some people never experienced that type of upbringing. Is it their fault?

I really think you should revisit your perspective on the people who are receiving assistance - you're just speculating about their backgrounds, when your argument is sorely lacking the facts.

[Terran]

I'm not trying to negate your opinion; I don't have facts either, but just as you are eager to be objective, you can try to render some compassion.

[Rooki3]

i hear deh givin out 25,000 pizzas to flood victims

[RASC]

Time to industrialize T&T and leave the weak behind.

HA there's a novel idea.

How we dunno de man who was paralyzed was ah bandit?...or was de same person who rape and drug de woman?

Karma?...

What goes around comes right back around?

Same instance you say i don't know their circumstances, do YOU know their circumstances to negate my opinion and make it invalid?

It's also my point of view to not help vagrants - cuz they all would have made some decision at some point in life and now they end up on the street. Not my fault, not yours either.

What if one of de people house who geh wash-wey and chiren suffering - is de person who really kill Sean Luke?

De way i see it, everything happens for a reason, yes innocents might be caught up - but it's collateral damage to me.

Move on with life, secure yuh own property - cuz people are expendable and humans multiply every damn second.

why dont you preach that to your 'friends' and come to the realization that the pnm lost.
there's nothing you and your 'friends' can do about it for the next 5 years.
so get over it.

[civic minded]

Wheeeyyy!!! Pioneer - so you was against the fact that the PNM was giving billions to caricom neighbors and when Kamla came on to the scene and told them that Trinidad isn't a bank?? You was actually against something that the PNM was doing?? bravo!!

[Cjruckus]

i say do like what Evo_STi-K was recommending back in the day...builda wall around the flood prone areas...to keep them IN!!....


Build the WALL!!!

Pullease dont requote my stupid previous statements out of context !

that gets me so faking EMO!

But it in context!

There is a flood.
People looking for hand outs from the government
Government must do it to protect their base.

The only thing that change in that is the UNC in power. Like you were expecting your pardnas to never see office again?

Better than that.
