Who is Responsible for Hurricane Katrina?

I found another funny article titled "Who's to Blame?"… It showed me not to give up on the human race… as they can always amuse you with their stupidity!
According to this
article, Hurricanes don’t just "happen", but are results of "god's" wrath! … Fine, we all have our conceptions and beliefs, but why was god angry?! I'd like to post some of the reasons that made me snicker!

Cause One: ALLAH
Muhammad Yousef Al-Mlaifi, director of the Kuwaiti Ministry of Endowment’s research center, blamed Allah. In an article entitled “The Terrorist Katrina Is One of the Soldiers of Allah,” Yousef Al-Mlaifi first thanks America for making Iraq “the most tranquil and secure country in the world.” He then writes, “How sad I am for America. Here it is, poor thing, trying with all its might to lower oil prices [and then along comes] this storm, the fruit of Allah’s planning, so that a barrel of oil will increase further still.” The Kuwaiti closes with a quote from the Koran: “The disaster will keep striking the unbelievers for what they have done.”
Muhammad Yousef Al-Mlaifi would be moldering in a mass grave with the rest of Kuwaiti’s government officials if the U.S. hadn’t driven Saddam Hussein’s armies out of Kuwait in the first Gulf War in 1991.


I really don't think he intended to scorn them or that "blaming" is the right word to be used here, but people here believe that everything good or bad is in the hands of Allah... oh well!

Cause Two: ANNE RICE
One can only celebrate, and profit from, the “dark arts” for so long before one brings God’s wrath down upon one’s head. Anne Rice, who hasn’t written a single decent book during her interminably long career, may have brought Katrina’s epic destruction to the city she has celebrated in her novels about vampires, witches, mummies, and more vampires. Paganism, homosexuality, the “goth” way of life—these dissolute lifestyles have been promoted and glamorized in Rice’s fiction, inspiring scores of dweebish teens to turn away from more wholesome pursuits. Frankly, we’re surprised God didn’t level the city after Violin was published.

Maybe god was reading it too! Hehe!

Cause Three: THE SIMPSONS!
How did New Orleans, a den of sin and vice for 300 long years, manage to escape God’s wrath for so long? It’s possible that God, with so much on his hands, was unaware of Mardi Gras, Southern Decadence, Girls Gone Wild, and foot-long margaritas until relatively recently. What brought New Orleans’s sinful status to the attention of our vengeful God ? Could it have been an episode of the long-running animated hit The Simpsons?
In the episode “A Streetcar Named Marge,” the citizens of Springfield perform a musical version of Tennessee Williams’s A Streetcar Named Desire. The show opens with the cast performing in front of the Superdome, singing the opening number, “New Orleans!”

Long before the Superdome,
Where the Saints of football play,
Lived a city that the damned called home,
Hear their hellish roundelay…
New Orleeeans…

Home of pirates, drunks, and whores!
New Orleeeans…
Tacky, overpriced, souvenir stores!
If you want to go to Hell, you should make that trip
To the Sodom and Gomorrah on the Mississipp’!
New Orleeeans…

Stinking, rotten, vomiting, vile!
New Orleaaans…Putrid, brackish, maggoty, foul!
New Orleeeans…Crummy, lousy, rancid, and rank!
New Orleeeans!


I'm not really into any religion, but how can you think that some god killed all these people, and left the survivors dying or without a shelter because of his spite at a published book, or a TV series? *shrugs* Some people actually believe that.

I can understand how religion might play into it, but Anne Rice and The Simpsons? That's just hilarious! Shaku? The mind really is a powerful thing. A person can actually delude themselves into thinking they are correct no matter how far off the mark they may be. I know I haven't said anything new but I doubled over from laughing so hard. Thanks for that!

Take care, Laters!

P.S. Just got Full Metal Panic, which sucks. Totally do not recommend it.
