Now everyone knows I'm not in conspiracy theories*. Anyway, with the Tsunami in Asia, the mud slides in California, the cyclone in Europe, the earthquake in Japan all happening in such a close period of time.

What the hell is going on?


*Ahaahahahahahahahahahaha! That's the biggest peice of BS I've spun this week.

It's the evil, wicked United States under the dictatorship of the even more evil GW Bush! Aieeee! RUN AWAY! [/SARCASM]

It's called "weather" and "nature". It causes things such as cyclones, tsunamis, and mudslides.

I was pouring through an Atlas the other day, and it listed the worst earthquakes on record in the past hundred years or so...sometime in the 70s, China had an earthquake that killed about 200,000 people. Italy had a huge one too...(actually, China had some big ones all through last century). So the Tsunami is big, but it isn't necessarily the biggest....nature can crush us like beer cans.

I had a housewarming party on the weekend...with just family...and my uncle started talking about some seminar he went to that explained how the tsunami had been caused by the U.S. My. God. I threw the hummus at him. I mean, can you blame me?

it happens

No, this will be the end of the world: http://www.ebaumsworld.com/endofworld.html

Is he named Skapedroe?

Hee.
Our rituals are working!
Immanentize the Eschaton!!!

*shifty eyes*

I didn't say that out loud, right?

Well, I feel fine.



*prays someone gets this* :p

Nope, Austrailia survived! :)

Wow? No kidding, dumbass! Who couldn't have thought of that? Did you really think that would impress anyone? Are you aware how pathetic it is to seek intellectual gratification from strangers on the internet? Get a life.

My intention was to hopefully find the scientifc reason, if any, for why these event occured so close to each other. But if you want to make it about the painfully obvious, ie weather cause weather then I should point out that sticking your hand in a fire may cause it to burn. That's sound advice for someone as stupid as yourself.

Nope, Austrailia survived! :)
But we forgot Poland!

Well, I feel fine.

I hate U2.

I hate U2.


Even a better response than I could have imagined. :D

Mudlsides occur primarily by greedy humans with their deforestation and mining.

ROFLMAO! :D

I'm just waiting for a big meteorite...

To all intents and purposes, the world ( i.e. civilization ) will end in 2012 when the Yellostone caldera erupts, devastating most of the central and eastern US and causing a drop in temperatures worldwide. This will initiate climate change on a massive scale. Most of the world, with perhaps a few enclaves of survivors, will die by starvation.

Tsunamis are caused by earthquakes, so there may be a connection there. Winds, (e.g. cyclone) are caused by temperature differences in the atmosphere as a result of the suns heat, so that can't be connected.

Don't forget Bush Fires in Australia, although thats more local to Australians of course and probably nobody outside of Australia have heard of them...

:confused: I've never heard of this. Please explain.

It was believed by Aztecs and some other native american cultures, I believe.

Ooh, we'll be trying that one next!
Thanks for all the ideas, guys! We'll end this damn thing yet!

"What was that?"
Err, I'm just talking to myself... Didn't say anything about ending the world!
"Oh, okay!"
Yuppers, no world-ending... None whatsoever...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2012 :-
December 21 - End of the great cycle of the Maya calendar's Long Count, and thus the alleged end of our world (the end of the cycle is dated December 23 by some calculations). Also interpreted as a change in human consciousness ie. the 'end' of the world as we know it (but the start of a new one).

Even a better response than I could have imagined. :D
But I like REM!

Well, we all love deep sleep... but we're referring to music here. ;)

Basically, a caldera is a large underground resivoir of magma. There are a few of these worldwide, and one of the largest is the Yellowstone caldera. In recent years, the surface of the caldera has risen several inches, which is an indication of activity.

This is one of the bases upon which I based the 2012 date. The I Ching, the Myan calendar, and ( some say ) the Bible codes, all seem to point at 2012 as the year when there will be very massive changes at the least, or the end of the world as the worst.

EDIT: Also, some allege that Nostradamus predicts this as a year of massive change.

EDIT 2: The author of the Wickipedia article to which you refer may have been thinking of "The Celestine Phrophecy" as the basis for "a change in human consciousness." The Celestine Prophecy is a book by James Redfield which most view as a fictional account with very little basis in reality.

Dude! It like, has to be the US's fault, because Americans suck and are silly! Besides, like everything else is their fault, so why not natural events too?

OMG noooo! It's finally the apocolypse, the end of days! The rapture is upon us! REPENT!! Fire and brimstone await!!!1

Actually, it's just the natural evolution of weather and climate on a still very geologically active planet, with a little bit of global warming thrown in for good (or bad) measure.

hey don't you find it dumb that barely any 'end-of-the-world' movies these days ever actually have the world 'ending' so to speak.

There could be a varitey of reasons for that, not the least of which is wishful thinking. The thought of the entire human race dying out is repugnant to most of us. :)

As was mine! :D

As one of Stephen King's characters was wont to say: "Bump-te-BUMP" :D

Yeah, I figured that I hate U2 and they had a song with a name like "End of the World." REM is much better but than I would have got the reference right on purpose. Also, U2 blows.

Couldn't find a way to put it better myself.

Don't forget the hurricans in Florida, I'm Damn that was really kinda weird.

Yeah, getting things right apparently on purpose takes the fun out of it.

In my country (Chile) there were false rumours about tsunamis hitting southern shores; people fled in panik and authotities could not do anything against this sudden erupt of hysteria.

Even when the rumours where confirmed as false, people still refused to come down from the hills in which they were hiding.

I´d say people are scared: seeing catastrophes maximized in your TV screen over and over, may scare some good people. It is imperative that we wise up or... :headbang:
