Compare and contrast ... were this a big city in the U.S., there would probably be looters running rampant in the streets. Just saying....

Sure. What happens to looters in China?

Um yeah...

I'm sure the average Chinese person knows that they would have a guaranteed bullet in the head if they tried looting in the wake of a disaster (much less in any event) and Lord help them if they were spared a bullet and ended up in a Chinese prison.

Knowing that...I guess I'm not sure what you're "sayin"?

the pics kinda got me to thinking about how there are parts of the US that are little better than 3rd-world sh*tholes

In addition to that, isn't it nice to see nurses who take some pride in their appearance?

In fact, those nurses are so attractive that it makes me wonder whether the pictures were staged - they look like they just walked off the set of a 1950's movie or television show in America.

Anyway, the more I see of China, the more I wonder if our future doesn't lie more with them than with any other peoples.

In 1989 we had a pretty good one here in San Francisco. It knocked out power to the whole city and there was a certain amount of death and destruction and confusion.

There was no looting.

Fortunately there are still many places here in the US where it's a bad idea to loot.

Never seen a disaster like this in Texas. I’d like to think it would be a little more orderly here everywhere else especially when shoerting looters is practically encouraged here.

The looters would be tripping over the trial lawyers and ‘greif counselors’
