Earthquake In China

Several readers sent in links on the earthquake that hit 10 hours ago near the Sichuan city of Chengdu in China. The Telegraph focuses on the citizen journalism that got word on the quake out on the Net instantly (the first report was via Twitter). Science magazine speculates that deaths from this event could exceed the 240,000 killed in the Tangshan quake in 1976, though the estimated death toll is below 10,000 at this writing. Hundreds of videos are up on YouTube, including this footage from a security camera — keep your eye on the goldfish.

    SEPTEMBER 11 WAS DELIBERATELY CAUSED BY EVIL PEOPLE WHO PLANNED AND EXECUTED AN EVIL PLAN WHICH KILLED INNOCENT PEOPLE, DELIBERATELY.

    Ahhh, but did the Chinese do nothing to incite the earthquake? Of course not, so your nonsense comparison is meaningless. If you don't think the US richly *earned* 9/11 then you are a deeply delusional ignorant fool.

    Quit throwing around meaningless words like "evil" when you're too dishonest and cowardly to look at your own actions and that of your country. The actions of the US leave people few other options to get some sort of justice since you're too much of a weak willed cowardly piece of shit to hold your own fucking government accountable. That is your job and you're a complete fucking failure at it. So other people have been forced by the torture and murder of their families by the US and their brutal thug buddies to take matters into their own hands.

    Quit whining like a little bitch. You had your opportunity to do the right thing and you blew it. You chose not to act like a decent human being and you're getting exactly what you deserve.

    Now grow up, quit crying and eat your just deserts, you fucking no personal responsibility taking little pussy.
