Haiti Earthquake

[T. Sankara]

Oh, don't run now. So they had a choice, correct. They could not have prevented the Earthquake, correct. They have the sources (so claim you) to escape this area) correct? Then why didn't they leave?

[έκλειψη]

That is exactly what I'm wondering.

Why didn't they leave?

 

Oh yeah, because it's too hard, and to them, there's no possible waaaay. Oooh, nooez..

[T. Sankara]

It can't be that hard if they have the sources, the ability to walk, and the will. Or that's what you said. So, wait. . .now I'm confused.

 

Explain that again?

That is exactly what I'm wondering.

Why didn't they leave?

 

Rational Pride.

Then they really are idiots.

DERP.

People have the full ability to do so. Yet, for some reason they won't. For this same, unknown reason, they like living in places that no one in their right mind would spend much more than a day in without wanting to leave.

 

If people realized they could simply walk, regardless of whatever country restrictions...

 

Or better yet, if countries didn't have restrictions on immigration so that people wouldn't decide to just stay in place and possibly even consider moving out of those places, people wouldn't be wanting help for things they could have avoided by knowing that area and moving elsewhere.

[T. Sankara]

So they have the ability, but are restricted by their country from evacuating? Talking about Haiti right?

 

jabroni, what the funk?

 

Are you also implying that these people are mentally unstable? Not being in their right minds because they won't leave? Maybe we should get someone from the actual country, a victim, to explain why he did not leave despite being told the earthquake was coming, we'd have a better understanding.

[έκλειψη]

No.

 

In some countries, bordering countries cannot just completely pour into another country due to immigration restrictions.

 

I'm not saying the Haiti government said "STAY AND DIE!"

 

I'm saying that there could have been laws about people moving or traveling to other countries that didn't help their process of leaving the area.

[T. Sankara]

Well, it's too late now. They shouldn't have adopted into the area, knowing the earthquake was going to happen. And better yet, they should have had the knowledge to know they wouldn't be able to escape to other countries because of immigration laws, right? They should have known that all this was coming. Right?

 

And don't explain immigration to me. I know what the funk it is, and how it works in some places. I've taken the classes. And don't treat me like you're better than me.

[έκλειψη]

It's an ARGUMENT.

 

I'm not treated you like I am superior...

 

... Simply that my idea is. I wasn't explaining immigration; I was saying that I didn't mean Haiti wouldn't let people leave, which you thought I did. I'm trying to show you what I mean, and you got offended.

 

You must have jumped into this thinking I indeed WAS superior for you to jump to that conclusion.

I "jumped" to that conclusion when you made that sly ass remark about being able to "deal with me all day". And I laughed my ass off.

 

You're so busy sitting back making conclusions about what I think, that you can't see past your own ego.

[έκλειψη]

No. I just know that I would be no match for Icy in any form of argument.

 

You, however, just repeat my statements in a fill-in-the-blank format. Either way, you admit to making that assumption, thus you did, in that case, prove me correct.

[Guest JoshIcy]

That is exactly what I'm wondering.

People on my home island live on a hollow seacliff that if it falls will sink the entire hawaiian island chain. Yeah... Not idiots, just prideful. Rational too, since the odds are extremely low.

No sheet. >_> I was arguing my point. It wasn't an attempt to prove you right or wrong, but just making myself clear.

 

But you know what? I'm done. You win. Haiti deserved it. And from now on, in my eyes, any person who dies of natural disaster deserves it.

No. Anyone who dies of a natural disaster was unfortunate. Natural Disasters, while are somewhat detectable are largely impractical (not using impossible due to the dude with the weird names argument), to dodge or move away from. It's not their fault or anyone elses. Kinda like tripping cuz you were stumbling one day, hit your head on the wall and got a bruise.

 

It's not your fault, it's not the walls fault. But it's sad and mortifying the same. No one deserves it.

ITT: If you know the wall is there, and you hit your head, it's your fault and no one should have pity on you. For anything.

You know the wall is there, but you can't move/react fast enough. It's not your fault, and while it being a wall lessens the pity, it's still crap and saddening.

Dark and the dude with the funny name would like to have a word with you.

[Guest JoshIcy]

That's them. And I don't mind a good rumble right now.

[έκλειψη]

As much as I like to argue, and as prideful as I am, I can't argue a point after that post, Icy.

 

You have, without a doubt, proven me incorrect. That makes much more sense.

[T. Sankara]

Everything I said was in vain. To prove a point that was there, that he made by rewording it. I should have stayed behind in Katrina the first damn time and drowned.

Okay too lazy to read 4 pages that poped out of nowere in a day what are we argueing about

My uncle. He has a head that blocks the tv. What should I do? Would it be too harsh to shoot him and keep him out of the way permanently?

[Blue Lightning]

Seeing as how people might not realize, Haiti is a very poor country. And, the Dominican Republic is not letting haitians in because they have been "invading" now. So what are the options now? Move to another country but all the other countries are separated by sea. Sucks for them.

 

Its a real sad event although I think the US help should be one that would help better in he long term.

[galesonic]

By all the things going on so far in Haiti, it will be long term. Not only are they trying to bring relief and possibly find survivors of the earthquake, they are also bringing money to the Haitian government to possibly restore Haiti back to an at least more than original self again.
