My 15 year old cousin is the typical stubborn type of girl you see on the Maury show on Saturdays , she refuses to listen to anyone and on top of that she hangs out with these ghetto thug gang banging wannabes who talk her in the doing pretty much anything.
Today she came in my room pleading for help ,telling me that she was pregnant and needed money for some type of abortion pill, I’m completely fed up with this crap because I’m 19 and I’m already working 24/7 because of this economy , and the last thing my parents need is some hard headed teen in the house , and trust me she will do this again she’s not even in high school yet so this is only the beginning. How do we go about sending her somewhere? We’ve tried the police before and they were no help at all they only offer 30 day programs at juvenile centers then your child comes back ten times worse ,we’ve sent her to one of these 30 day programs before only to find out she was escaping out from the windows and through a drug test found out she was sniffing coke with one of her friends out on the streets in Miami , She was sent to haiti to live with a relative and of course a couple months later the earthquake hit ,and boarding schools are up to 4,000 a month when my mom can barely pay for the mortgage..
You would think in this economy things wouldn’t be so expensive

Obviously not your opinion on the actual floods – i don’t think anybody can disagree that it was a horrible tragedy for many innocent people.

No, I mean more about how the other nations have reacted. One thing I have noticed is that, while more people have been affected (not killed, affected) than the Haiti earthquake, it has received less coverage. Where is Pakistan’s charity single?

I ask this because I am writing a guest post on a friends blog about the recent disaster. I’m interested in other people’s opinion.

So, why do you think that Pakistan has received less coverage than other disasters?

I, like many people, believe that it has its roots in racism. Whilst many people have not been brave enough to mention this factor, I think it is there. Where I come from, anybody with brown skin is automatically labelled a ‘Paki’ – even if they are Indian, nobody cares enough to differentiate. (I am a British White Male, by the way).

I was speaking to somebody the other day about this, and his reply actually shocked me. He said ‘Well, its not like we’re going to run out of them, is it?’.

I also read about a group with terrorist (al-Qaeda) connections, giving out aid in the poorest regions, do you believe this will spur terrorism on? I personally believe that in five, ten years, the young children of rural Pakistan are going to remember who it was that helped them when they needed it the most.

So, what do YOU personally believe, what are YOUR thoughts on the whole situation?

And finally, do you think the world is falling apart?
@Harley Drive – interesting! Although, they could have double that population, it wouldn’t matter. The rural population are poor, and their crops have been destroyed. Many areas of Pakistan are unreachable due to the floods now, so its very difficult for the government to help. Nice answer though, to the point. Thanks!

It seems like this year has been pretty active, because I’ve seen lots of earthquake reports on the news, like Chilie Haiti, i think turkey, California, etc. I never really heard a lot about earthquake reports last year, so i was wondering if this year is more active than other years, or is this normal?

i have noticed that since year 2000, a lot of natural disasters have been occuring and seem to be intensifying as we draw even closer to 2012, i mean just this year alone we have had the earth quake in haiti, the earth quake in chile and the earth quake in turkey, the earthquake in indonesia, not to talk about the massive flood in portugal and the latest earthquake in china. is it just me or does it seem that the closer we get to 2012 the mayan end of the world the worse globally things seem to become. i am starting to think that all of these are signs and that on december 21 2012, that something will go wrong with the hadron collider in 2012 and BANG!, THE FINAL NAIL IN THE COFFIN AND BYE BYE WORLD WITH A BANG. just interested what are ur thoughts

When the earthquake happened in Haiti I traveled there. And did volunteer work, mainly with injured people and in hospitals.
I have some pictures, about a lot of injured people, about a baby being born about bodies in the street, piles of bodies, destruction of homes, etc…. Basically everything that happened there. I h not held back from publishing them and showing them to family and friends in consideration of the people who died.

But tv and the newspaper have showed everything.

Do you think it is ok if I post them let’s say on my facebook.

I understand why so many people die in the Haiti earthquake but why were they so many few deaths compared to Haiti in the Loma Prieta earthquake which also was a similar magnitude (6.9)? What made the Loma Prieta earthquake kill only around 100 people? Was it the buildings, roads, speed of rescue? Any answers would be great.
Thank you very much, building standards. Great, thank you. More answers are welcome, the more the better.

This country has been in a state of virtual collapse since the Duvalier regime and people are only paying attention to the poverty and suffering now…

is this just a publicity stunt for many countries around the world? this smells fishy, as Haiti has been needing rebuilding for quite a while, and that we only offer it now after so many Haitians have died…is preposterous.

then why are they showing up now for?
the last time they started showing up was
december – January 2008

This website has only had a 1 – 3 all year round since then in yellowstone

Or does it just appear that way? Is it normal for earthquakes to happen in series like this?

I’ve looked on the USGS site and I can see that earthquakes happen every day but how does this year (and last year) stand up to past years?

I haven’t always been up on world news but now I am very into the news…so I’m not sure if it’s just that I didn’t notice it in the past.

BTW, I know there are other places to ask this but I normally get good activity/answers here.
I think it is easier to blow this off because there is nothing anyone can do to stop an earthquake or tsunami. I discovered after the earthquake in Haiti (right after the earthquake in Eureka) by looking through the earthquake reports that earthquakes do happen everyday. However, I also feel that this is something that you would have to calculate. The information is there for the public, it’s just a matter of who is willing to sort through it and compare it previous years. I don’t have time to do that because I only have a computer at work.

I don’t think it’s the end of the world but I do think our Earth is shifting and changing. Those of us who are fortunate to survive this shifting are going to really enjoy the new Earth.

I am not a "gloom and doom" kind of person but I live in SF, it is very realistic that a big one might hit here in the near future. I feel that something is up with the world.

Does anyone else see this connection? Montserrat and Haiti are both in the caribbean arc. Montserrat had a major volcanic explosion on the 8th, and 4 days later the major quake in Haiti. Is the volcanic activity a precursor to possible earthquakes? I know one can not possibly predict such things. It’s kind of like the weather. Only theories. Thoughts? Theories? Scientific explanations anyone?

Okay, there have been a lot of earthquakes recently: a small on in Chicago, the one in Haiti, one in Chile, one in Mexico and one near Tibet, and now there’s volcanic activity in Iceland, which is basically a little chunk of land on a fault line. All of the earthquakes except for the 2.5 one in
Chicago have been above 7.0 in magnitude. Does this mean something’s going on with the earth’s crust?

I live in Canada and am greatly troubled by the disaster in Haiti. However, I learned after donating to the 9/11 funds that most of the money never reaches the people and services that need it.

My family and friends have been hit hard because of the 2010 baja california earthquake. The magnitude was greater than the Haiti earthquake. Although the death toll doesnt compare at all, the damage done is unbelievable. Most of my family members live in Ejido Oaxaca, Mexico, which was right next to the Epicenter. I want to setup a website so people can donate money which can be helpful for Food and water. We have had a couple of phone calls to them and they said that the gallon of water has sky rocketed in the local markets to 60 pesos which is about 6 dollars. People dont have this kind of money so they need our help…

so far i have created this blog.

When I try and get information about the Iceland Volcano all the news stations here in America can talk about is money lost in the airlines or with the flower industry, why is it all about money are we that shallow? Why isn’t anyone reporting on how the ppl of Iceland are going to be able to recover or about how the 2nd Volcano is showing signs of erupting also? I’m seeing news articles from other news sources outside the US that paint a diffrent picture. When the earthquake in Haiti happen America broadcast it all day long. Tons of charities set out to help them. But a Volcano is more serious why don’t new media tell more??

I am worried that im going to catch hell for asking this but I am starting to get scared. For the past few weeks i have been having HORRIBLE dreams and they seem to actually be coming true.

Two weeks ago I had a dream that a child fell into my bed. I woke up and searched for it wanting to make sure it was ok. A normal reaction when you wake up like that right? Well the next night my daughter fell out of her crib and she fell in such a way that the child in my dream fell.

A little bit after that I had a dream that the ground starting to shake and that everything started crashing down around me. A day or two after that the Haiti earthquake happened.

Almost immediately after that I started dreaming about an explosion every night and it would either keep me awake or wake me up. Today when I went to yahoo.com to look at the articles out of boredom, the first picture i saw for the first article listed was about an explosion overseas.

I’m really getting scared, and heres the part that people are really going to make fun of me for =\ I have been having dreams off and on through all of this of a huge catastrophe-like event.

I guess my question is, am i making too much out of nothing? Its all just a coincidence right?

So this year I have taken an interest in keeping up with earthquakes and where/when they are occurring. I’ve been checking this site http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/recenteqsww/ at least every week if not everyday to keep track of recent earthquakes. A few things have caught my attention in the graph:
-Over the past few months I’ve noticed that there are usually an average of 200 earthquakes at one time on the map and last night I checked it and it jumped to 922, then when I checked it this morning it was up to 1000+….my question is why? and what are your opinions.
-Also, I’ve noticed that the graph never shows an earthquake occurring in Africa. Why is this? I imagine that like every other continent it has to have its share of earthquakes.
-I don’t know if its just me or maybe suddenly the news has decided to show more earthquake articles and such or maybe(although doubtful) I am watching more news than before and I was just never aware that earthquakes were so common. Especially with the earthquakes in Haiti, Chile, Baja California, and etc. Does anybody else find it odd and scary?

Ok…I asked a question on here not to long ago about all the big earthquakes happening in such a short span of time for this year alone.

We have had huge earthquakes in Haiti, Turkey, Japan, Indonesia, Chile, Baja California and now there was another one today in Spain at 6.2 and we are only in our 4th month for 2010.

I got a lot of intelligent answers explaining how the Earth plates shift and so on and so on which brings on an earthquake. But does anyone know WHY the plates beneath the Earth are shifting so frequently so that we are having these earthquakes one right after another all over the world?

I don’t want to be downer, but something huge is going on beneath the Earth and I’m not talking about only in California but the world.

When you step back and look at the big picture, it’s downright scary to me. I know what’s going to happen is going to happen but it’s still scary.

Your thoughts on this?

Major earthquakes have hit Haiti, then Chile, and now on the west coast. Does this mean we are in for a major shift in the tectonic plates that we are sitting on? What will that mean for the rest of the planet? How will the shapes of our continents be affected?

I know we have always had earthquakes in one place or another but now they are happening closer together and the magnitude of them are getting stronger and stronger. We have also had thousands of earthquakes but they were relatively small and not noticeable.

Now, today there was another one in Indonesia at 7.8. So we have had big ones in Haiti, Japan, Turkey and Baja, CA all this year and we are only in the month of April.

Your thoughts please. I would really like to hear what you guys have to say. Thanks.
