Is it wrong that the only outcome from this I'm really interested in is the final death toll figures? :dunno:

Was the same way with the christmas tsunami. That topped a quarter million. Maybe I'm rooting for mother nature in a way. Cause honestly, this world could use a few million less people. If not more...

Well, have you considered driving to Virgina Beach, VA and punching Pat Robertson in the throat... as hard as humanly possible?

Now, I'm not at all suggesting that you do that. But since you want to see fewer people on the planet, I'm just trying to give you a good place to start. Good luck with that. And... uh... I don't know you if you get caught.


If you're going to cull the herd, you do it selectively: Farm Boy 101

There isn't a city in the world could withstand a 9. anything.

I understand that, but these buildings are being built to minimize damage, and they may not be effective at all.

It's horrible that this happened to these people. I pray that the lost of life is not as high as what some people think they will be

OUR TOP STORY TONIGHT!
Haiti death toll tops 200,000 as aid anger mounts
http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20100203/ts_afp/haitiquake
Aid Anger?
I dont know if I'm being pessimistic or realistic and I also dont know if these people are just bitching or if they have reason to bitch.
But like I and some others have posted here , Alot, maybe most of those billions given in aid and charity are going to be wasted and/or stolen.
According to the video theyve already stolen the rice (rice one of the cheapest food products in existence).
Government aid from other countrys? who is it being given too?
The haitian government and politicians?
Good luck with that.
I dont even know where the hundreds of millions or perhaps one billion plus dollars that have been donated is being given too.

Whats your opinion, we'd like to know

That's why I gave to the Red Cross....dedicated to food, water and medical supplies. However, I don't doubt that there is massive corruption and graft going on in Haiti at this time. It's how the country operates.

I encourage the Haitian people to rise up and throw off the yoke of oppression that has kept them impoverished for so many years. Once the smoke clears, I hope there is hell to pay for the Haitian government and its aristocracy. It's time for the Haitian people to command their own destiny and join the 21st century with the rest of us.

If I was starving, injured and thirsty, I'd be pretty fucking pissed too. You don't have to go too far into denying Maslow's basics to strike a serious nerve that might incite revolution. I hope it happens....with a vengeance.

So the Red Cross is effective? I wasnt sure.
Yeah I'd be pissed too, maybe even pissed enough to kill someone.
So much money donated, so wheres the food, wheres the water? wheres the shelter?
still bodies piled up a rotting
Picture it, Some Government worker or politician trying to sell you some rice that was donated by charitys and governments, youre starving and maybe whats left of your family is too.
I would call that justifiable homicide .
I'll be paying attention, if things are still as bad as some reports say then things are gonna get much uglier there soon.
