Now this is from a poster who's a fan of two most primitive, crude and uneducated posters on Huffpo PissedOffVietVet and CaptanEdGraham.

'Nough said.

Sorry to interrupt your usual hysterical women jabbering.

Remember Chile?

Here are latest about Chilean earthquake.

What should lessen the severity of this natural disaster is the epicenter being at a depth of 37 miles. The deeper the epicenter the more the earth absorbs most of the energy. This should mitigate the loss of life and property. Now how many buildings and homes are built using seismic design elements in Chile is a different matter.
Hopefully the people of Chile have been spared, as much as possible, the destructive consequences of such a powerful earthquake.
The international community should quickly asses the situation and assist Chile. The sooner they get help the better.

The largest earthquake of this century was in Chile.
****

"On May 22, 1960, the largest global earthquake recorded this century occurred along the coast of Southern Chile. The catastrophic Mw 9.5 (Ms 8.6) earthquake struck at 19:11 GMT (2:11 p.m. local time) and was centered about 480 miles south-southwest of Santiago....
-snip-

The earthquake produced an enormous tsunami which impacted the entire Pacific rim. Wave heights along portions of the Chilean and Peruvian coasts were in excess of 25 m (82 ft.) and literally swept low-lying beach fronts clean of all vegetation and construction.

A robust aftershock lastered for years and producted dozens of earthquakes in the M 5.0+ range."

A serious earthquake occurs in Chile, and 85% of the responses on this blog are political sniping over GWB and Al Gore. We Americans are effete, whiny, narcissistic Marie Antoinettes, aren't we?

Take this stuff to another blog, and, somebody PLEASE say what you're going to do in regards to Chileans in this situation or STFU!

Relief will be much quicker than following Katrina, of that we can be sure. Bush is the first American president to lose an entire city, and it wasn't even terrorists--it was just incompetence and racism combined.

i wonder if the republicans/democrats (skull&bones) were using their weather controlling/earthquake machine to try to kill Hugo Chavez because of his latest comments

Bush's fault 'cuz he controls tetonic plates!

Republicans and right wingnuts are like children, so irrational are their arguments. Let's take Iraq... a "war" that's not really a war, because the "enemy" is not a traditional enemy: it is an ideology. Of course, to those who think might is right and who really want to wage war under any pretense to keep the machinery going, these subtleties are unimportant. Never mind that our presence in Iraq has actually spawned more terrorists and destabilized the country... we are winning, though, right? Oh yeah, I forgot.. what I just said is liberal drivel, not facts... and of course, I must be anti-America because I disagree with them... children, I say!!

You do know of course there is an earthquake machine, google Tesla Scalar Technology , its real and its been used( not necessarily here)

.

Is Chimpy on vacation again, or what?

ghost in the machine.....you are so full of it. I guess over 60% of us who know that Bush is intellectually diminished and takes most of his ideas and orders from Cheney and is right hand lawyer are also mentally diminshed leaving you as the true intellectual. Get a life idot and at least become a free thinking independent.

The world would be a better place if people could see the truth. Global warming is real! Gore needs to step up and run for President and make Denise K. his running mate or Barack Obama

7.7 is a big one. Let's hope for the best. Hang in there my Chilean friends!

7.7 wow.
Hopefully there aren't many casualties.
Good news: preliminary pics show minimal damage.
