I want locusts on 3/17 in the pool. Put me down for 5.
There is a semi-joke about Japanese religion, that the Japanese are born Shintoist, married Christian and die Buddhist.
The Japanese are very “flexible” about religion, perhaps because their traditional religion prior to the arrival of Buddhism and Taoism, and much later Christianity, was a sort of paganism-lite (traditional Shinto, prior to the enforce modernisation of the religion to merge it with the Imperial cult, strikes me as having been somewhere between animism and paganism — the kami aren’t quite “gods” in the sense of Greco-Roman or Norse paganism, even if “kami” is usually Englished as “god”.)
Not to out-gruesome ya, but most people aren’t sucked out to sea. They die in debris-filled water ashore. Just as most of the destruction is from battering by debris, rather than water per se. Most of the dead will be found, but likely not sorted out due to the health hazard of so much decomposition.
There, fixed it. :-D
But you're right, the earthquakes did just start last Tuesday.
(j/k. Your post was right on.)
The Earth is merely doing its thing in its own time frame. Humans live for a short blink of time compared to the age of the Earth, so any human will see a very few geological phenomenon in their lifetime. This is not mysterious. It is not an omen or precursor to end times or quickening or 2012 or anything else that superstitious or overly jealous people want to believe. Every once in a while Mother Earth sneezes or burps and a few million animals die. Or maybe a large meteor bumps into Earth and a few thousand species go extinct. This is normal and has been taking place for millions upon millions of years. Relax. This is nothing new.
Damn it Godzilla who your trainer
Michelle Obama???
Damn it Godzilla who your trainer
Michelle Obama???
I’m thinkin’ maybe it WAS Mooshelle....she’s almost the size of Godzilla after all those gourmet meals in the White House! LOL!
Very sorry it happened to the Japanese people...this is really piling it on! :(
Godzilla is not that heavy compare to Michelle Obama LOL!
He still look same he still in good shape but Michelle forgetaboutit
The song “Fat-Bottomed Girl”? It had to be written for The Wookie! :)
Apparently one teacher = 10,000 Japanese Citizens.
Yet the same Freeper refused to mention the Columbia disaster.
Once again, feminism, one FEMALE FEMINIST teacher = 10,000.
There are folks that need to be purged from this website ASAP, I do not want to be associated with these disgusting, vile horrendous monsters.
They are whacked out libs who are infiltrating Free Republic to push their radical agenda. They mention Challenger but Columbia??? What's that??? Oh sorry, no liberal feminist teacher aboard, so their death's are irrelevant.
PLEASE ADMINS BAN THE LIBERAL TROLLS!!!
Jim Robinson himself told me that every post is archived if folks like goseminoles can compare the disaster in Japan to the Challenger explosion than this site is deemed a joke in the eyes of the world!!!
The FReeper is named goseminoles, go search his posts. He believes that 10,000 + deaths = one death of a rad lib teacher!!!
Massive earthquake, title waves, nuke plants melting down and now a volcano? What’s next, a hurricane?
Hey, you said that way before I did. Humph!
Completely bipassed the Columbia explosion but Christa McAuliffe's death was more important than the deaths of tens of thousands of Japanese, hey goseminoles congrats you are a racist scum!!!! And thanks to google your posts are archived. I pray to God you are banned!!!
I've never seen devastation on this scale in my lifetime.
I’m glad I read the Bible and that God gives me Understanding into such things
I Pray for those in Japan and all effected by these Natural disasters
I think the Japanese understand that they live in one of the most seismically active places on earth. The earthquake was due to the subduction of the Pacific plate under the Okhotsk plate... which has been going on for more than 15 million years.
Unfortunately, in addition to northern Japan being already devastated with a huge lose of life, nuke power plants blowing up, plus dangerous volcanic activity, many powerful aftershocks, and the constant threat of additional tsunamis - both Yokohama & Tokyo are due for an offshore earthquake, likely 8.3 or above on the Ritchie scale, plus a massive tsunami, which will leave both mega-cities in ruins, causing a major sell off across international stock markets, possibly a full blown crash, contingent on other explosive potentials in the Middle East, involving Iran and Syria instigating war against Israel. Time will surly tell.
