11. Nah nah nah nah nah to you too :P |
|
You like this "oh, even Japan is better that us" even before a level 3 hits, which happens all the time here too and shouldn't be a problem anyway - this is utterly rediculous - Katrina was 1 in 10,000 and you know it - this type of thread is utter tripe...

So I have to read utter garbage like this until the knuckleheads get a life and go away.

6. Well, China evacuated 790,000 in wake of killer typhoon last week.... |
|
Their death toll was 3 and "dozens injured." Is there any reason to believe Japan will be any less efficient? Read it and WEEP: http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20050901/wl_afp/chinaweather_050901120652
