Mother Earth Strikes Haiti

[Kyreth]

Hey maybe that will happen and your joke will be funny.

If I was joking, anyway. But that's the general thing about disaster- it's funny as long it's happening to nobody you like or care about.

[Tajin]

Internet engages in lulz and waits for more dead body pics and opportunites for black jokes. Bravo, folks.

Let it be known that I don't want nor expect pics. Its an earthquake shit break, shit falls and people dies, nothing new.

If anything, instead of taking pictures those faggot reporters should be helping.

Still can't see anything "funny" with a disaster.

Its reporters job to "report". Visual media helps people understand how serious a disaster is.

Good thing for international help, etc.

I tweren't talking to ya.

[Mayareira]

What amazes me is how few disasters of this magnitude happen to wealthier countries- it's almost as if misery attracts misery.

Oh and about this...

Its generally the building that kills people, not the earthquake. Poorer the country, weaker their buildings.

An earthquake with this magnitude (7-7.2) wouldn't be as disastrous as Haiti in a country like Japan (which is on a bunch of major fault lines), USA etc.

You seem "to" really like "using" quotation marks where they "don't" belong.

[Mayareira]

I "guess".

except Japan has had a longstanding history of Earthquake-proof construction combined with a relatively prosperous economy to fund the preventative measures that keep people from being killed. Haiti is the poorest nation in the western hemisphere.

Even with an estimated death toll of 100,000 this is already the 11th or 12th deadliest earthquake in human history and the 6th deadliest since the turn of the 20th century. Watching the videos/pictures of what's going on there is beyond horrifying when you realize the problems with power/water/medical supplies that are going to start cropping up in the days to come.

After so many disasters people still needs help to understand disasters? Its a good thing mother earth its doing its part to wipe the shit out of us then.

[Blackmagik]

isnt Haiti plagued with constant rebellion and fighting anyway?

[Despain]

I expect my aunts and uncles in Dominican Republic to start complaining in about....3-4 weeks about the increase in Haitan immigrants sneaking into the country.

They are our Mexicans you know.

Lol.

This is the last thing Haiti needed. Shit was incredibly bad, now its just unbelievable. I feel for them... the amount of shit they go through, poor them.

except Japan what? You emphasized his point.

[Despain]

What a stupid ass motherfucking thread, filled with atheist population control idealists bastards who don't care about human life. You should all go fuck yourselves you fucking fucks...I can't wait for a earthquake to flatten the Dominican Republic and then you'll have no aunt or uncle, and feel the pain of people in Haiti. Why doesn't the lazy Dominican Republic get off their asses and aid Haiti??? You're all lucky the earthquake's strong tremors didn't rupture past 15 miles along the fault line which passes through the entire island of Hispanola. A 7.0 Earthquake like this usually has the strong tremors rupture for about hundreds of miles.

You all need to get some God in your lives, and stop disrespecting the people who suffer, it's not their faults that they live in poverty. This is a nation that has suffered many natural disasters one after the other. They suffered 4 hurricanes in the 2008 Atlantic Hurricane Season, and recently paid off a big debt to the US for helping them recover from that. Now they'll be in more debt because of this catastrophic event.

Oh you. You're the last person I'd expect to make a post this fucking retarded (actually wait, you are Vajra).

Dominican Republic is poor. How about we help ourselves first? Most Dominicans don't give a fuck about Haiti, and that's sad. But then again, who gives a fuck? How about Haitians help themselves? Fix their government? The country suffers with so much corruption, its ridiculous.

Telling people over the internet to 'get some God in your lives'. On BG, no doubt.

So did the Dominican Republic. What's your point?

Shit sux for Haití, really hope international comunity helps them a lot, Kobe (Japan) earthquake in 95 had 200,000 buildings collapse and is a country prepare for earthquakes.

[Day]

I seriously don't know who's better, Lief or Vajra. I'm starting to think they are the same person though.

[Xno Kappa]

Wouldn't surprise many considering a lot of the same similarly stupid shit they say all the time.

I heard you got earthquake problems and I feel bad for you son. I got 99 problems and 'quakes ain't one.

[Atreides]

that would mean vajra is gay and leif is from a primarily black country and both of those things are just too hilarious

[Jakson]

Oh hey, that joke wasn't made already. Thanks

[Despain]

The amount of stupidity in his post is incredible.
