Hemi:
It seems from your comments and how nasty you are, that you really deserve your name, and need to be bludgeoned many times with a very sharp knife.

I know that is funny or ridiculous to make that comment, but if they can put a man on the moon (please no flames) why cannot they make New Orleans float or even easier - under water.

Yes, flood the whole place and build a shield over the whole town.

It would take decades, but eventually with global warming the whole coastal regions of earth will be below water.

Why not start now?  Let us learn the mistakes now and save lives in the future?  :applaud:


Hemi: Be good.  Besides you will never top my score on Ignore, no matter how many quarters you put into it.

I think I saw that in a cartoon once.

Cheffo you had me looking over this topic looking for that quote until I realized it was from Tommy.  I hope you are compiling a tome of all his posts for future use should Saint come to his senses and turn off the internet.

Are you implying that it is ridiculous to build a city under water or constantly above it?

Does Venice ring any bells with you?

With that kind of attitude I'm sure any project that would include some original thinking, would suffer.  ::)

I was implying that I might have seen that in a cartoon once.  Its an interesting idea and it worked well in stargate atlantis, but I'd be worried about construction mistakes and some idiot trying to see whats on the outside of the protective dome by making a hole in it.  I would also be worried about the integrity of the dome if more water goes above it due to global warming since New Orleans likes building weaker stuff first it would take a few dome collapses to get it to a safer level.  Then maintenance becomes more important and since we don't like repairing bridges why would we fix any damage to the dome protecting us.

I could see it working if it involved tunnels segmenting the city to prevent flooding from spreading in the event of a catastrophe.  I'm not sure what kind of system you had planned from your post though.  In any case it wouldn't be cost effective and would hinder traditional New Orleans type architecture.

Yes I've heard of this Venice that you speak of though it is sinking or something.  I think they had a system that would raise barriers to prevent water from hitting their city during storms.  I'll try and find a link...link

I think one of my biggest concerns would be people going mad from taking too many plasmids.

Really? Going by that definition of the cause to lose access, there would be no one left in that section.  I know you're not silly enough to think only being a jerk is enough to get booted. Everyone in that section is a jerk 99 times out of 100, only they have been here long enough to have some slack.

Hemi:
There are not many times N.O would get hit by a serious hurricane. The odds are maybe 1 time in 3-4 years. You gotta think they can come up with a way to protect them self better in the time between hurricanes and knowing what is needed, but that is no reason to abandon the state.
