 "Unfortunately y'all happen to live in a bad place in terms of destructive weather and geography patterns which operate on a scale much different then your own human time frame, have y'all considered moving?" But on the real, its quite a shame, and God Bless the Souls of those who Passed :( |

while I was in fact dropping a bit of humor to lighten the mood, that didn't mean you had to be so rudely insensitive to the one serious sentence I posted there in regards to praying for the departed. Have you no common decency? Oh wait, are folks going to throw that holocaust thread back in my face too? Go ahead, I continue to stand by my point precisely because of my respect for those who suffer or die in any situation or circumstances. Or does anyone remember my Iowa ethanol blunder? True, I was a bit mercurial then, but no body in fact died, it was a business catastrophe if anything, and it wasn't a matter of the divine justice as the way I framed my joke about it, but that human beings happen to build large settlements in some of the worst places geographically precisely because the scale we and the Earth operate on are very different. If folks like me attribute this gap to God that is our business, but even the nihilist could admit that things like weather and geology patterns clearly operate on different scales which at times collide with humans in devastating ways. Isn't that the moral of Pompeii in the first place or is it just to revel in the destruction and loss?  I may at times be pompous and an opinionated jack ass like Charles Winchester the Third here but one thing I am never is disrespectful or irreverent to the suffering and the dead. Again then, God Have Mercy on the Souls of those who passed.. :( |
u r mad?
|
I hate seeing people suffer...
But generally speaking people in the affected regions couldn't give two shits about global warming. Hopefully this shit will open their eyes. |

Why does it have to be global warming? That is as ideological as if I just said something silly like "God wanted those people to suffer for their sins" which is blatantly stupid, nonsensical and glib. Global warming aside, there will always be catastrophic weather and geologic events, we can only learn to readjust. True, there seems to be a significant warming patter and true, even the most common sense suggests that fossil fuels are related, and more importantly this warming may in fact increase the frequency and intensity of existing weather patterns. This rolls back around to the initial unfortunate business about we humans making poor settlement habits based on our limited understanding of the longer time scale of the Earth and its forces. From the Earth's or God(s) [whichever your preference] it is really nothing personal.. But suffering is suffering regardless of its point of origin, and that is the drag.. Like Jimi said.."what a draaagg.. its ok though, nothing but existing." |

Because global warming adds fuel to the fire in regards to these types of natural disasters. The area around the Mississippi river is only going to get worse and worse as time goes on. Praying ain't gonna do shit. |
Out of curiosity, do you respect the living? Only they're not so much alive as corpse-in-waiting (or material-in-flux, if you prefer).
|
No, it's a really simple question: do you respect the living? The answer is yes. The answer is 'yes, but that doesn't mean I agree with your ridiculous caprice 'religion''. The answer is also 'yes, of course I do, I'm just being a cunt, the same as you'.
But of course you realise that answering that question honestly ruins the game of being a cunt to other people, and thus the prickery unravels, etc etc. |
That sounds like sophistry to me. I heard those Sophists were also vegetarians. And you know who else was a vegetarian? Bono. That's who.
Or: what would a meaningful description look like? |
I can't be bothered to read the whole thread so could somebody tell me: was it god with the tornadoes?
(And Bono's dead?) |
That was harsh. I don't even know who you are.
|
What a day.

 A tornado in Springfield, Mass., on Wednesday damaged buildings, toppled trees and frightened residents. (Jessica Hill / Associated Press / June 1, 2011)By Michael Muskal Los Angeles Times June 2, 2011, 8:41 a.m. People awoke in the Springfield, Mass., area on Thursday to the damage done by tornadoes that had raced through the region, leaving at least four dead and about 40 injured, officials said. “When I spoke with the mayor of Springfield yesterday, he told me they had about 10 minutes' warning” before Wednesday's tornadoes, Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick said on ABC's "Good Morning America."
"When you consider how quickly the tornadoes developed and then touched down, the fact that there wasn't even greater damage and loss of life is a remarkable thing," the governor said. Rescuers were going door to door searching for those trapped in the debris. Springfield Mayor Domenic J. Sarno estimated that more than 40 people had been injured in the tornadoes. Speaking at the same televised news conference, Sen. John Kerry, who will join Patrick in an aerial tour of the damaged region, said, "Everything that can be done is being done, and impressively." This has been an especially deadly year for tornadoes in the Midwest and South, but the Northeast is usually spared and, hence, often less prepared for dealing with twisters. The most recent previous tornado in the state occurred in 2008, and the last deaths from a tornado were in 1995, when three people were killed in Great Barrington, about 70 miles west of Springfield. The deadliest tornado in Massachusetts was recorded on June 9, 1953, when 94 people were killed near Worcester, some 80 miles east of Springfield. Patrick has declared a state of emergency in the state and has called up 1,000 National Guardsmen to help with security and search and rescue. According to the National Weather Service, the first tornado touched down on Wednesday at about 4:30 p.m. in Springfield. A second tornado hit Springfield at about 6:20 p.m. About 39,000 customers remained without power in central and western Massachusetts, officials said. |
I didn't even realise there was a Tornado in Massachussettes or that they even happen there. Damn. The shit is hitting the fan.
