lauras 0 #103 December 27, 2004 QuoteAll it takes is one look at the pictures of the aftermath to disprove this. There are photos of men and women screaming in pain and agony at the loss of homes, loved ones, lives, etc. No one is saying this is beautiful. What is beautiful is the actual event....not the aftermath! Tsunamis, monsoons, earthquakes, hurricanes and all other assorted natural disasters are truly magnificent in their scale and power. One can absolutely find the beauty in what Mother Nature can unleash upon us and it forces all of us to realize that we're merely tiny cogs in Nature's machine. However, as far as people's sympathies go, well: #1 - It happened to brown people. #2 - It happened to the wrong shade of brown people, so no, we won't see the might of the US military swinging into action there. #3 - There's no oil there. #4 - Most of them are Muslim, Hindu or at least don't subscribe to Christianity. I predict the US media will stop coverage, oh, in about 36 hours. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vallerina 2 #106 December 27, 2004 This is so sad. Nature has amazing powers to destroy and create. Sometimes, it's most beautiful landscapes were created by some of the most powerful destructions. You can be in awe of nature while still feeling sad for the thousands of people who lost their lives/families.There's a thin line between Saturday night and Sunday morning Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

flyhi 24 #108 December 27, 2004 Quote3. I would have loved to be there...yes I would. I would have loved to be able to enjoy nature's true power. Its perfect!!! Two and a half years ago during the seasson's strongest hurricane I went deep sea kayaking off the coast of New Smyrna Beach, Florida. I survived. I saw it, lived it and enjoyed it. The only problem with that attitude is, if things go to hell, an organization exists that is going to do everything it can help you. Despite your feelings or desires, they will launch in whatever conditions they have to try to pull you out of your trouble. Your desire to be in the middle of it, will put their lives on the line, and they will do that gladly. They are a very effective organization, but occasionally, they end up paying the ultimate price. If you get down to the bottom of that list, I knew Bob Carson and Mike Dollahite. They were great people with wonderful families. Would that have any effect on you or would you just assume it was the price of doing business?Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

misskriss 0 #109 December 27, 2004 Quotedid you fail to note that someone has used the word FU*K in the subject of a recent post? Im very sorry if you are offended by my language, but frankly...I am offended by you. I don't think it had to do with the word "fuck." People say fuck all of the time. You said to a poster.. "you are a fucking sicko.." Now that does not offend me nor does it offend the person you directed it at but it is "personal attack" as set by the forum rules. That's what TUna was referring to.. (if you allow me to so speak for you, Tuna.) Posts are deleted left and right when personal attacks are used. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skymama 37 #110 December 27, 2004 QuoteSince no warning was given does that mean it's acceptable to use those exact words against another poster in the future? Check to see if any Mods are actually online before you assume things.She is Da Man, and you better not mess with Da Man, because she will lay some keepdown on you faster than, well, really fast. ~Billvon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
