Countless thousands dead, and the biggest earthquake in two hundred years.

Yet I can't help but laugh at lifes cruel sick sense of irony for destroying 70% of a countries infrastructure that was already among the worlds poorest and politically unstable countries. I'm a terrible person aren't I.

So... confused...
However WallaceGrove, there have only been five earthquakes of this magnitude near or in a built-up location in the past 30 years. So it's still quite a rare occurence and the order of destruction it has wreaked has made me a sad panda.
Especially since it hit an area which really, really didn't need an earthquake.
:(
To quote Pat Robertson
"Something happened a long time ago in Haiti and people might not want to talk about. They were under the heel of the French, you know Napoleon the Third and whatever. And they got together and swore a pact to the Devil. They said 'We will serve you if you will get us free from the Prince.' True story. And so the Devil said, 'OK it's a deal.' And they kicked the French out. The Haitians revolted and got something themselves free. But ever since they have been cursed by one thing after another."

I heard it's the poorest country in the southern hemisphere.
If it wasn't, it is now.
Some people say they might not even recover as a country, not sure what that means since you don't see too many countries "not recovering" these days.
Maybe the US can trade it for a hamburger, but they have to pay for the cheese. http://i200.photobucket.com/albums/aa143/MasamuneXero/srsly.png

But no one cares about Euraka.

California always has earthquakes.

Explains the heat and pollution too.

I've only been to California once, and I was like 7, and I don't know what city I was in, and it burned my skin so bad that I had black blisters all over my face.
So screw you California.
You know how white Conan O'Brien is?

Well atleast i werent there when the Chicxulub crater (http://forums.heroesofnewerth.com/wiki/Chicxulub_crater) was created. That measured THIRTEEN on the richter scale. Thats... Insane...
Compared to an 8 on the same scale... 100000 times worse. 100000 stronger. Now. THAT sucks.

I'm assuming that's some kind of prehistoric earthquake.

Pat Robertson's comments on this whole event are truly despicable.

Clearly not interfering due to the fact that the haitians brought this upon themselves by first making, and then welching on their deal with Satan.

About the topic.
I seriously couldn't care less. What has Haiti ever done for anyone? Besides sitting there feeling bad for themselves about being poor. and now they get butt loads or money, most countries claimed they never had. Or still don't have. Srs leave Haiti alone. It's hell on earth anyway

the outlying towns from the capital are literally rubble now
i sense richer countries forking up millions/billions to clean this up.
