Are you surprised it resembles a third world country? It’s also a legitimate war zone in certain neighborhoods but we can’t talk about why.

That's not the argument. The argument is that New Orleans as a whole is not a shite hole.

As a whole, it's a nice city with tons of culture.

Every nice city in the country has shitty areas.

Therefore, you cannot extrapolate that an entire city is a shite hole just because you happen to venture into the shitty part of an otherwise nice city.

Get it? Logic.

Come on, man. Don't you think that's being a little unfair to third world countries?

Let's just say when the governor flies over to inspect the damage, I hope it's not in a Blackhawk Helicopter.

You can find those types of areas off of every interstate in every city in America.


This is not true.

By Louisiana standards, there is not a single ghetto in Boise. Yeah, there are homeless people, tweakers, and "rougher" areas, but nothing like you would see in New Orleans.

You just generalized the entire country, by the way.

So you stopped in New Orleans after a category 2 had just blasted the place and all surrounding areas knocking out power to about 90% of the whole area and you were surprised that there were some challenges with credit card machines at gas stations?

I mean, I live in New Orleans and I know it clearly has numerous shithole aspects among the things that people love about it, but a stop in New Orleans was just a bad idea/poor planning today unless you absolutely had to be here today.

It’s obvious that most of you people have no idea about New Orleans. Perhaps your meager social stature prevents you from access to the real New Orleans. You’ve been to a gas station in the east but have never been to a private party uptown.


I keep trying to get to that party uptown, but REAL New Orleans keeps mugging me and stealing my car keys.

It's generally a dump with nice places mixed in. but if you build nice things they say you are trying to move the black people out.
