I think the earthquake and tsunami that happened in the Indian Ocean is common knowledge.
Since when is it the function of the United States Government to provide for the general welfare of a foreign country? . . . haha.

United States Government- $950 million
Charitable donation - $1,875 billion
Free market - $0.00



But stop trying to use the situation to further 'political' bullpucky.

Japan is not in the Indian Ocean.
You should probably not be in these political forums during this time of your personal grief.


You missed the point of his post.
I think you need to read his post more carefully.
Free market is constrained by the need to maintain a margin of profit to stay in business... DUH!

Government is not... and can therefore step into such a situation. (watch that bottom line though... Government can only provide so much and still take care of its responsibilities to its citizens)
You need to work on your reading comprehension.
Japan has had a disaster.

It really does not matter what 'political' agenda you have.

God is greater.
I am an atheist. This is gibberish to me.

Why sound biting the written posts can trip you up.

First pulled quote was not mine.

but the rest of them were...

I did not claim or post anything about the 'indian ocean'... so your comment to that effect shows your ignorance. You have no idea if I have 'personal' grief...

My reading comprehension is just fine...

As far as being an atheist...

Fine... The earth is capable of 'wacking' the heck out of an entire nation and THERE IS NOT A DARN THING YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT. (How does it feel to be an ant on a LARGE ball of rock and water?)

So you contine to jaw about your political agenda...

This is the second time you have 'soundbited' my posts and showed your own lack of reading comprehension...

Thank you.

I try to answer everybody's foolish attacks all at one time. That probably causes confusion. My bad. Thanks for the heads-up.

The current disaster is expected to draw insurance claims up to $35 billion. The largest in history. These claims are not expected to cut into the insurance companies' expected profits.

Nobody should participate in a political forum without expecting to have his views questioned. I welcome it, If you believe that you can question somebody's views without expecting some push-back, then you are in the wrong forum, dig?

This is what we do in political message board. I keep this stuff out of the dating fluff forums.

See....you edited yr post earlier. All you said at first was..."Why are you here?" only then....later....did you edit in...."We haven't mentioned Japan in 2 pages", see? That tells me a lot about how you deal with others that don't agree with you. And I've seen you do this time and time again. Cuz', believe it or not....I've followed this forum a long time. It's just that THIS thread....was my last straw......

"Politics, Current News & Events"

This thread comes under the heading of CURRENT NEWS AND EVENTS.

Not much in the way of politics when the Earth executes a smack down.

You did not 'answer' any 'attack'.

You bit little pieces of my post out and placed some silly comments in reference to 'greif' and proceeded to state I could not comprehend english.

This is how you make a 'point'...?

Foolish is as Foolish does.

Depend upon how much of the Insurance Industry has been doing the same thing as the 'retirement industry'...

and spending 'premiums' on playing the stock market to 'enhance' their bottom lines.

I see another 'bubble'.

I was just watching a CSPAN interview with Rep Mike Coffman (R-Colorado} about what we should be learning from the Japanese disaster with regards to American energy policy. He was quite guarded with his advocacy of nuclear energy, but made it clear that it should remain a prominent part of American energy production. He anticipates that The Japanese disaster will aggravate a coming energy crisis. and wanted us to know that oil production should be a priority, but that nuclear energy should comprise 80% of our energy production. No mention of what to do with the nuclear waste.

A lively discussion about small Government policy with callers from both the right and left ensued.

I think that the lessons of this terrible disaster are yet to be learned, and that they are going to come from the Japanese people. My bet is that 10 or 15 years from now, there won't be a nuclear reactor or an oil refinery to be found in Japan. Japan is used to being on the cutting edge of innovation and quality industrial output. They will be heavily into wind, solar and tide power. That's my prediction.

Thank you.

Control freaks are so much fun to play with ain't they?

A lesson I've learned from the Japan deal, If it says,'Made in Japan', it's probably junk.
And now, highly radioactive ta' boot.

Maybe, just as I predicted.
Total melt-down.
What a trip it's gonna' be to see how much damage will come of this.

At 8:36 MST Fox News and AP are reporting that all workers have abandoned the damaged Nuke plant. What happens now is anyone's guess.

We don't have the technology available for those things to be a viable way to sjolly power to a country. It would probably take that many years to switch over if we did if not longer. In short I think you are very wrong.

According to Tokyo news, 180 workers have returned.

What monkey said anything about fun?
I accept it cuz, there's nothing I can do to change it.
Now, I could be witnessing the awesome power of nukes again.

No-fly zone means to me, high radiation levels are already in the high atmosphere.

Those guys going back in must know it's a suicide mission. God bless 'em.

My guess is that either the Japanese people or an enterprizing American will 'invent' a device or system that will 'suppress' nuclear meltdown...

So the next time it happens we can just aim a 'beam' at it and put it out.
