since japan's earthquake, our local media has reminded us almost daily that geologists say the PNW is 50 years past due on a "megathrust" earthquake from the cascadia subduction zone.  typical with the media, their sensationalist figures seem fabricated from nowhere.  while we don't have a recorded history of earthquakes like Japan, there is considerable evidence from ghost forests along the Oregon coast and orphaned tsunamis in Japan that indeed we have had massive quakes in the past, with evidence of them having occurred in 17th, 14th, and 8th century A.D... so a 300 and 800 year span between them... also, geologists aren't certain if the entire fault would go again as it has done in the past, or if just part of it.  all we seem to know is something big will happen, but exactly where and when at best seem to be guesses.

it appears though it's going to take such an earthquake for what's left of portland to hopefully ready itself for one after it.  compared to japan, our buildings may as well be paper mache, and i believe only one of our many bridges has been retrofitted, which even still likely would not withstand such an earthquake... they say we don't have the money to.

but sure japan's earthquake has effected my psyche.  besides prompting me to investigate more into our own circumstances, i've always been fascinated with japanese culture and would love to someday travel there.  i want to see them recover, and consider helping them to be an entirely worthwhile charity.  should the shoe be on the other foot some day in my lifetime, i'd surely be grateful for what help was received....

Everything is better than it was the last time.  I'm good.

If we could look into each others hearts, and understand the unique challenges each of us faces, I think we would treat each other much more gently, with more love, patience, tolerance, and care.

It takes a lot of courage to go out there and radiate your essence.

I know you scared, you should ask us if we scared too.  If you was there, and we just knew you cared too.

i also agree with the "rebuilding shitty places thing"

especially with haiti..


What bugs me about Haiti (and the reason I won't send them any help) is that the birth rate TRIPLED after the earthquake even though they couldn't feed themselves even BEFORE the earthquake hit.

What kind of sadistic monsters would bring children into a life of hunger, sickness, and hard work with virtually no hope of improvement?

Fuck them. I feel for those kids but their parents should be lined up and shot before they create more innocent kids to torture.

--

Daraine Luton (The Gleaner) reports that, according to the United Nation Population Fund (UNFPA), Haiti’s birth rate has tripled since the January 2010 earthquake, from four per cent to 12 per cent.

On Wednesday’s launch of the World Population Report 2010, Igor Bosc, UNFPA representative to Haiti, told journalists that the increased rate of fertility in Haiti is of great concern and may translate into a crisis, underscoring the fact that the earthquake destroyed the vast majority of the health facilities in Port-au-Prince. Bosc also explained that there has been an increase in violence against women and that sexual behavior among Haitians now create the opportunity for increasing sexually transmitted infections, adding that “only 12 per cent of the population use condoms and the prevalence of HIV is likely to increase.”

Witchner Ormeus, Haiti’s director of youth and integration in the Ministry of Youth, Sports and Civil Action, said urgent action is required to rescue Haiti: “The situation in Haiti has worsened since the earthquake. Family and community structures are breaking down and young people are very sexually active at an early age. We now have to intensify our campaign against HIV/AIDS and do more work in the area of family planning.” He stressed that parents do not have control over their teenage children in the tent cities, expressing concern that this could be devastating.

Gabriel Bedegian, Chief Technical Adviser on population development at UNFPA, said there has been a deliberate attempt by some countries to paint the Haitian man as a rapist and that the increase in fertility rate is best explained by people seeking to use sex for comfort after the catastrophe.

Republican Values:

1) You can't get married to your spouse who is the same sex as you.
2) You can't have an abortion no matter how much you don't want a child.
3) You can't have a certain plant in your possession or you'll get locked up with a rapist and a murderer.

4) We need a smaller, less-intrusive government.

Now now Diploid. Most humans are of little thought and the reproductive urge has a mind of it's own and can overpower most anyone.  Nature itself is most responsible for the madness.  Nature is the Monster, humans but pawns.

Yeah but Diploid does have a point.  How hard is it to use a condom and can't anyone see that poverty is improved" when one has less mouths to feed.

Like the Australian desert! You aint going to worry about floods, fires, earthquakes, tsunamis, etc. etc.

But for some reason we don't want to let people into our country...

We got all those japs living on a tiny island and only 22million people living here... is that fucking weird or what?

Nuclear power is safer than you think.
But if the water is already there, even better.

Japan is used to being an indoor society, they can build underground.
Vast cities that don't disturb the barren desert at all.
