Comment PR Is just a step up from a 3rd world country (Score 2) 202

"Note that Irene has been no joke in the Caribbean; in Puerto Rico (with relatively modern infrastructure), about a third of the island lost power."

Dont fucking insult me. Relatively modern infrastructure? We don't build our buildings with fucking wood and gypsum board... We use armed concrete... that is why we can take a Category 5 Hurricane (like Hugo) or Category 4 (like Georges or Katrina) and survive it without the DRAMA the US experienced with Katrina... When we get a hurricane like that, we receive it with Don Q Rum and in a Beach Chair...

Now If you had said that the island was a step up from a third world country, I couldn't agree with you more... If the goverment agencies did their job right one third of the island wouldn't have lost power and water for more than a day... The services down there are such a fucking joke compared to 20yrs ago when a Category 5 Hurricane would cause the same inconveniences that this Category 1 hurricane caused.

Don't let me get started on the "puppet" we got as a governor... he makes Obama look competent...

Not that I know anyone working at the NSA.

There is No Such Agency... but trust me its more than a "haven" for geeks, specially the Lab at the Rock... There are far more notorious "hackers" working for HS and NSA than you could imagine... then again, there is a reason most people don't know about them or it... ;)
