I'm sure by now you have probably heard about the tsunami that hit Asia. That's just insane. It's hard to even imagine 20 ft. waves crashing on the shore. . . Last I heard, the death count is up to 8,000 in six different countries. I just happen to check my email today and saw that and couldn't believe it. For those of you who don't really know how tsunamis work here's a quick synopsis. They are caused by earthquackes on the ocean floor. There was one that was an 8.9, the largest in 40 years. Just like dropping a rock in the center of water, it causes ripples. Those then turn into waves that hit the shore. Larger the earthquake, larger the ripples. When it first comes to shore, the shore line will draw in significantly, then the waves hit and brings the shore in. That's really the only warning that people get. It's a sad thing to see happen and definately one of the worst natural disasters.

Well its sad and no one wants that to happen to anyone, BUT it is a natural method of population control. If it wasn't for events like this the world would be more over populated then it already is. so its kinda "the greater good" side of it. Hopefully people can stop multiplying like rabbits so that veiw doesn't have to be taken in the future.

Something has to keep human populations in check, we are after all animals. I never sad I like it, its just a cold statistical way of looking at it. Honestly I dont see what horrible about what I said. This post has been edited by Uppitycracker: Dec 26, 2004 - 11:30 PM |
