Do you think there are buildings in China that can hold 9 Richter magnitude??! can you give pictures do these buildings? when I said building I don’t mean Stonehenge or the Pyramids I mean somewhere where people live and it’s at least 15 meters height.
kay kay, I really do believe your information is not correct. In China , new expensive buildings should be able to take at least 7!

What is the strong connection between celebrities and us?
I mean, every single time some celebrity does something absurd or something happens to them why do we react like they’re our close friends?

I dont mean disrespect but lets look at the latest headlines:
John Travolta’s son has died…R.I.P
but why why is it that its all over CNN under BREAKING NEWS and all over the world people are crying for him?

Whereas when 800 people die in China from an earthquake or 500 people die from a ferry accident, no one seems to care too much.
Arent they both human and shouldnt they both be treated the same?

Whats this strong connection?

We live on the ground floor of an apartment building in a big compound of other buildings. There are around 50 apartment buildings, all of them very tall. If an earthquake occurred, would it be safer to go outside (and take the chance of being smooshed by buildings) or stay inside (and risk being flattened by 11 floors)?
Please do not answer saying to ask authorities or whatever, because we live in China and don’t speak Chinese or anything.
Also, PLEASE don’t be rude.

Or will the Chinese refuse foreign help again and then say foreigners didn’t do anything to help China.

We are sending millions of pounds of grains, and other foods to other countries when we have hungry people here in the USA.

We are supplying millions of dollars worth of first aid to other countries when we would like cheaper health care in our USA.

We are borrowing money from china and russia and giving it to countries that don’t need it like Isreal (top 25 per capita).

We spend billions on disaster relief at other countries when we have thousands of families still homeless from our own natural disasters.

Shouldn’t we take care of our own first?

I would like help with ideas on how to solve the current crisis China is having after the earthquake struck. I’m writing an essay about it and I am really stuck.

Thank you!!!

I was watching Larry King and he ‘interviewed’ a christian that was rescued from the Haiti earthquake, Larry asked the man what saved him and the christian man said ‘god’ saved me…this is very interesting, because I don’t remember seeing any pictures of god with a shovel working with the rescue teams, I would of thought the obvious answer would of been ‘the search and rescue teams saved me’.
Anyway, the question is, why do christians claim ‘god’ helps them when something ‘good’ happens after a catastrophe but that he is unable to intervene and actually stop the catastrophe from happening in the first place?
John H- please stop pulling percentages out of your ar$e. Rescue teams from Germany and England and China and many other countries, do not contain 90% theists.

Wyclef Jean Haiti earthquake: Singer leads charge to help through Yele Haiti charity – and Twitter

http://www.csmonitor.com/World/Global-News/2010/0113/Wyclef-Jean-Haiti-earthquake-Singer-leads-charge-to-help-through-Yele-Haiti-charity-and-Twitter

Edit:

I spend .00 at "China Fun" on vegetable fried rice easily! So donating .00 to help those in need is cake for me! :)
Unless you have a "legit" website, I’m not texting nor do I vouch for "Haiti" 90999. You need to post a "legit" website! Sorry but I just don’t trust random numbers. Come legit or don’t come at all!
http://www.ksee24.com/news/local/81371092.html Ok, I see where you’re getting your information from. I’m sorry for coming off rude like. I owe you an apology. ( ^ _ ^ ) There happen to be people who use catastrophic events such as this for their own personal gain. I also did "Haiti" 90999 just a few seconds ago and received a confirmation text. Thanks for answer S.J. :)
I checked it out EeeBee and it’s legit. I really hope that all the money goes to helping the people of Haiti. I really do.

Earthquakes are a part of Earth’s natural growth, but why are we having so many of them in such rapid succession? It was the the big one off the coast of Asia that set off the largest Tsunami in human history, the one in China, and now the huge one in Haiti. What is going on here with Mother Earth?

where was the GOP outrage when GWB sent tsunami relief?….or when GWB send AIDS relief to africa?…or when GWB sent earthquake relief to china and india?

republicans are once again demonstrating the hypocrisy of the phrase ‘compassionate conservatism’.

and u wonder why McCain only got 3% of the black vote in 2008.

Is it based solely on the tectonic plates and faults? Why?
Yes, China does seem to bear more destruction.

Could the Earth quake activity in China trigger seismic activity in let’s say…California?
I’m thinking that if the plates are shifting in one part of the world it could cause a domino effect in other.

Any "reality" to this theory?

China has again lied and is trying to censor the media’s access to the internet. It is also spying on hotel guests in an attempt to crush truth. China is loking increasingly paranoid and desperate. Are we seeing the last days of this violent brutal dictatorship? I just read of a man jailed for posting pictures of schools destroyed in the earthquake. Is it time to boycott this disgusting games?

I’m just curious how many countries will be sending "foreign aid" to help the victims of hurricane Gustav? Since the United States of America is always the first to send supplies and relief to any country that has a major natural disaster (China, Myrnamar, Indonesia, Georgia) would it not be a great switch to see other countries "aid" the USA?

Technorati Tags: , , , , , ,

for example another ice age?
or maybe a "heat" age?

china had too many people there and was putting a strain on the earth, and, some say, thats why the natural disaster occured (earthquake and stuff).

Is that a longstanding geological pattern? Is China an earthquake zone?
It seems that they get smacked with enormous floods and earthquakes quite frequently…a couple of times a year it seems.

I know that China was hit by a terrible earthquake recently. I live in a country very near it, and I’m hearing rumors that we might get one just as strong as what hit China. I live in an apartment on the 9th floor of a 15-20 year old building. Should I have any reason to worry?
Say it’s about, 8?
Earthquakes can happen anywhere, right? D:

I know what causes earthquakes, which are the movements of platelets beneath the earths surface. However why is it that in places like CA, or overseas in places like China earthquakes happen more frequently?

I live in Japan and recently an earthquake caused a big problem at a nuclear power plant, a major source of Japanese power. I've also been to China recently to see the 3 Gorges Dam project, which supplies most of the power to the surrounding area. It made me wonder where we get most of our power in the states. I was quick to condemn the nuclear power plant BUT not having any idea where the power comes from when I flip on a light, or use my computer, or play games, I thought I should research the issue before I stood on my soap box! And I'm having trouble finding anything comprehensive about the states and power on the internet.

Does anyone know, or could you direct me to someplace where I could find out more about this? Thanks!
