Well to be honest, some people didn’t take the warning seriously enough and thought it was going to be just another little storm. Sure, some people had no cars to leave, and happened not to know anyone at all that owned a car, but the majority just assumed it wasn’t a big deal.
Hey, another pissed off racist calling himself intellectual. I don’t think intellectual means what you think it means. Maybe if you could work it into a ryhme somehow you could call yourself an artist too.
My coworker has family in Chengdu. He called them this morning and said they are fine but they have heard of at least 50 deaths around the area.
dammit…apparently I couldn’t take 2 seconds to spellcheckhis = has
Interesting. Here’s the source I learned that from:http://hk.news.yahoo.com/080512/12/2tu0c.html
easy, they have the technology to cause earthquakes. dont act like theyre not psychotic inbred hybrid neanderthal pink devils. they invented aids and infected black babies in africa with them by giving them shots, dropped two atomic bombs, sailed around the world killing ppl…. um this is not that much of a stretch for them.
Divine intervention for the Tibet suppression?
EVERY Civilized culture has always wished death on those that oppress them. Whether it was Britten and USA wishing death on the Nazis and Japanese during WWII or, the American Colonists wishing death on the English Imperialists. The world, as you say “is going to hell in a hand basket”, because statistically speaking, people in Kalifornia are fascists.
Haven’t heard any reports about that yet. I’m hoping for the best, but fear a decent amount of casualties.Hopefully search and resue is competent down there and will minimize the loss… I wonder if they would accept volunteers.Edit: From the article. Asked if anyone had been hurt in Chengdu, the reporter said: “All appears to be fine.”I’m a little bit surprised by that, actually.
too lazy, chinky?
Wow, you actually got modded up for that, lulz.
Hey, I didn’t start the fire, it was always burning since the worlds been turning.
Katrina.But they don’t count cause they’re black, I guess.
