People over there are probably building new houses in the same locales as we type right now.

Tens of thousands of innocent people, largely CHILDREN die, and it's either funny, or "God's plan" to you?

I really dont know what to say.

If it had wiped out Manhattan would you have honestly made the same post?

I doubt it.

Also, before you accuse me of being a racist, my wife is Asian originally from that part of the World.

So politely Kiss my Ass. :D

It's a Tragedy to be sure...but do a little research. Like I said earlier...tsunamis like this really aren't a common occurrence, but when they happen every decade or two in that part of the world, results like this ARE common.

Tsunamis are not typical of Manhattan. They are of SE Asia. End of Geography lesson. :D

No! No they are not! Not on this scale anyway. Are 8.9 magnitude earthquakes common? What line of reasoning are you attempting to employ here, That they deserved it for living on the coast? WTF is that about?

No shit.

Way to miss the point.

Forgot who I was talking to.

That's YOUR guilt talking

But I guess in your mind being a racist is ok because you married outside of your race.

Pathetic.

Yeah...I married an Asian so I could justify my inner feelings.

I guess that makes sense to some.

Not to most people, though. Live on, LM.

If they don't want to listen, fuck them. They have their own leaders to blame. I guess their leaders can blame our leaders for not being "trustworthy," although the NOAA is totally seperate from the CIA et al. It's just a pity they didn't want to "listen."

Where are you getting this 'report' from? This is the first I've heard of it.

I guess we can throw abortion into the God's plan catagory, eh B3?

A wave of destruction

Indian Ocean's tragic tsunami mandates massive relief and a new warning system


12/29/2004

Of the most common of nature's destructive forces - fire, water and wind - water is the easiest to underestimate. Perhaps because it is so common, so essential and usually so tame, its power to destroy is often overlooked. But when was the last time wind or fire took more than 50,000 lives?
The disaster around the edges of the Indian Ocean is cataclysmic in its breadth and unfathomable in its depth. The earthquake-born tsunami that crashed around the ocean's perimeter is a calamity unlike any in memory. A third of the dead are thought to be children. Disease brought on by unburied bodies and other unsanitary conditions could raise the death toll tens of thousands more.

Natural disasters are the lot of mankind, of course, but while we have not eliminated the threats of tornados, hurricanes or floods, many parts of the world have become expert at warning of their arrival. But for the foolishness of some storm-watchers, for example, it hardly seems possible for a hurricane to cause a single death ever again in this country.

Unfortunately, tsunamis are harder to predict than hurricanes or, once formed, even to spot. Not all undersea earthquakes produce these giant waves, for example, and even when they do, the wave is hardly more than a ripple until it reaches the shallower depths of a continental shelf.

Still, a warning system exists in the Pacific Ocean, which has been more likely to produce these killer waves. The network was created in 1965, a year after a magnitude 9.2 quake sent tsunamis crashing into Alaska. In terrible hindsight, the absence of such a system serving nations of the Indian Ocean is a towering failure, especially given the relative ease with which a system can be established.

A basic structure of seismic sensors and tide gauges could be set up within two years, a representative of the U.S. Geological Survey's national earthquake information service told a reporter. That would be an important start, but producing warnings is the easy part.

More difficult is ensuring that people in the path of a tsunami get the message in time to flee. In poor societies such as many of those bordering the Indian Ocean, television and Internet access is nothing like it is in wealthier nations. Even if the warning were received by a national government, how would the news be spread?

That problem will not be easily solved, but with the grim events of the past few days still before the world, it is clear that the work must begin. The financial cost of this disaster - to say nothing of its emotional toll - will be staggering. If only a few thousand more people survived, the work of establishing a warning system would have been worth the effort.

First, though, must be the quick work of responding to the reality of this current disaster. Bodies must be buried or cremated. Food, shelter and clothing must be delivered to survivors. Sanitation must be provided. And it all needs to happen now.

All nations should be prepared to help, especially those, like this one, whose vast resources can help to keep the death count from spiraling even higher. This is a human disaster of staggering proportions. To make a difference, human kindness, generosity and ingenuity must flow in equal proportion.

No. The tsunami was God's plan...as harsh as it seems. The freewill murder of infants by their mothers is not. Those mothers will answer for their actions one day.

Why would God care about the abortion of fetus' if he feels nothing about wiping out, what is it now, 80,000 self-aware, sentient people in one stroke?



Praise Jesus for killing the little brown folk so I can have cheaper gasoline and more beach front property! God bless America! "I am proud to be an American..."
