I've had quite enough tsunami news.

[FloridaChief]

I've had quite enough tsunami news.

I'm beginning to hate the word "tsunami"....

[memyselfI]

I'm beginning to hate the word "tsunami"....

that is why I click on a thread with the word... :hmmm: :rolleyes:

[memyselfI]

I've had quite enough tsunami news.

Yeah, I guess five days of news is quite enough for the worst natural disaster of our lifetime. :spock:

[FloridaChief]

Exactly. We think alike. Watch for my soon-to-come avatar with of a dog pissing on a sign reading "tsunami"...

Signed,

A bitter f*cked-up hypocrite....

that would have to be one f*cking large dog... ROFL

At least my avatar is probable, er, possible. :p

I wonder what God is punishing these poor turd-worlders for.

[StcChief]

Muslim hater's attacking...

meme, why would I read the accounts? To make me feel worse? I've seen enough on the TV and I feel bad for all the people, but I'm not gonna go reading through blogs to just waste time and feel shittier.

Because they are also telling survivor stories and success stories about aid reaching their targets.

Not true, Bangladesh has suffered so many disasters over the last 40 years that they account for 500,000 dead during that time frame including 1970 when the country was ravaged by cyclones eventually resulting in the deaths of hundreds of thousands.

The criteria is not merely death count alone...not to mention that there is now speculation the ultimate total could end up being between 500k-1 million.

[KCWolfman]

And don't forget the Iranian earthquake a mere year ago that initially killed 31,000 people with tens of thousands dying later due to various ancillary issues caused by the earthquake.

See Iranian earthquake, 2003


We like to believe that this moment in time is the most important, most horrific, most enlightened, etc etc etc. Chances are it has already happened and at a greater level in another time.

Red Cross is estimating the toll could shoot up to 1,00,000 dead (from the present 80,000) in Asia once more information comes in from Andaman and Nicobar Islands. The Andamans are situated just north of Sumatra, the epicentre of Sunday's quake that set off the killer waves.

[KCWolfman]

The criteria is not merely death count alone...not to mention that there is now speculation the ultimate total could end up being between 500k-1 million.
There was also speculation that over 30,000 people were killed in the WTC disaster, with you being one of them shouting out the numbers then as well.

Uh, that was Rudy's number...

maybe he got it from Bernie Karak? ROFL

I think she means as an aftermath, not the direct result. Like starvation, disease and all the good stuff. Also, I don't think the accounts will ever be accurate, since there were so manty people who lived in poverty and were killed in the disaster, no one will ever report their deaths (here, i am assuming that they don't count the bodies, but rather the claims).

[KCWolfman]

That is possible, but you were the one running with it as fact before it occurred, even after I stated that it was too early to be running with such numbers.

If Guliani posts on this board, I would tell him the same thing. As it is, you were the rumor monger. The death toll may be phenomenal, but to start making estimates is just stupid.

Well that is what the article states. That some of the people on the island were never 'registered' so they won't be counted officially but the government had an idea they were there.

I understood exactly what she posted, but to state unequivocally this is the worst disaster of our lifetime only days afterward when other natural disasters initially killed thousands more is just overreactionary press, with people like Denise feeding in the frenzy.

Yeah, yeah, I'm with you 100% here.

Uh, I don't think I was running with anything. I think the initial numbers were based on how many people worked there as they had no means of counting who was fleeing.

Just as they have no means of counting who was floating out to sea in this tragedy. But at some point the missing will be counted as dead and will add to the total.

[Snakey]

It's Bush's fault. Let's rationalize and minimalize. It would be amusing if it wasn't so pathetic.

Which is EXACTLY why statements like "the worst disaster" without having all the facts makes you look like frenetic overreactionary.

Uh, I stated yesterday that my criteria for this was that it impacted two continents, two hemispheres, at least 12 countries, caused the earth rotation to alter slightly, and was going to cost billions of dollars in destruction/reconstruction costs....

not even withstanding the ultimate death toll or eventual long term impact to the region.

This is not merely 120k folks being too stupid to run from a big wave...

[Skip Towne]

Dense just wants to keep the disaster going so she can get attention. She loves tragedy and disaster and I wish she would die.

[Pants]

I wish she would die.

Ahahahahaha. Skip, you da shit.

Wow, that is mighty nice of you. What a guy!!! :thumb:

If you are too big an idiot to realize this will go on regardless of what I say or do then, well, you are a big freakin idiot...

I'm sorry, Death and destruction just doesn't appeal to me this evening. The Grim Reaper just may be holding a apprenticeship open for you De nice when the time comes. :hmmm:

Well then perhaps you should not click on the link. I know the curiousity got the better of ya but then who's fault is that? Yours because you have no stones or mine because you can't resist the temptation?

[alanm]

I wonder what God is punishing these poor turd-worlders for. Gods way of controlling the over population.:hmmm:

[Skip Towne]

I wish Skip wouldn't mince words so much. I get the feeling that at times he's not saying what he really feels for fear of offending.
:LOL: I'm trying to be as offensive to the slamdog as possible. Maybe it will drive her to one of the liberal boards and get her fat ass out of here.

[alanm]

Well then perhaps you should not click on the link. I know the curiousity got the better of ya but then who's fault is that? Yours because you have no stones or mine because you can't resist the temptation? No. Just had to see what you had to say. I'll resist from now on. Thank you. Have a good evening. :)

ROFL please. But do continue to delude yourself that you have the goods to do it. ROFL ROFL

[memyselfI]

No. Just had to see what you had to say. I'll resist from now on. Thank you. Have a good evening. :)

Thank you for the confession.


Have a Happy New Year!!! :thumb:

While I can appreciate the thought process... and, it is how I often deal with people that irritate me in "real life"... I think it's become apparent by this point that she feeds off negative energy such as this. It won't drive her off so much as encourage her to post more.

All the same, I still chuckle. If she's gonna insist on being around, we might as well get a cheap laugh or two out of it.
Yep, she is one of very few people I feel comfortable treating shitty without the aid of alcohol.

The only negative energy on this thread was people clicking on it and then :deevee: they had too much tsunami talk...

like they are too big of morons to figure out what the subject was going to be. ROFL

The blogs themselves have lots of great information both positive and negative about the topic.

Then why do you not follow your own advice for 90% of your posts???

I wanted to tell what I thought about making a thread like this and why it wouldn't be too popular. I didn't click the links and don't intend too. Once again, I get to see why people hate you so much here.

You should click the links. There are some amazing stories and pictures that are taking their time being reported on the networks. Good and bad stories.

And a few people hate me but that is their deal, not mine. If someone bothers me I don't allow them to pollute my day, I don't bother with them. I've been taught the opposite of love is not hate but indifference...

the fact that some here CHOOSE to be bothered and have hate is a hoot!!! Someone would choose to be bothered, choose to be angered, choose to feel hate. Again, their issues, not mine.

I don't see you whining. You stated you checked it out and decided not to click the links.

I saw your comment about Faux News. You have my undying love. ;) :p

[KCWolfman]

You have my undying love. ;) :p
That's gonna take some free clinic time to clear up

[memyselfI]

I believe I already posted that you thrived on negative energy on this thread. But, thanks for the reaffirmation from the horse's mouth, I guess.


And as I stated the negative energy came from the :deevee: who posted they were tired of the topic. I'm quite sure there are folks who are not and are just quietly checking out the links and wish the topic would not be hijacked by morons...

I hope someday Denise will share the story of who and how her world was rocked by, I'd find it interesting after reading so many takes.
