Yeah, I see where Mike is coming from. Honestly as long as the earthquakes and shit don't effect me or my family and friends I could give a shit tbh.
I am kinda pro-Earthquake and volcanoes actually erupting lava. The more people dead in my opinion the better. Thin out the herd a little bit, know what I mean?
Which is exactly the kind of flawed logic that this opinion brings. Everyone and their mother would be ok with the earth's population was thinned out a little....so long as it didn't effect any of your friends, family or anyone in particular you actually cared about. If and when the world should end mother nature is going to purge the world without prejudice. So although I agree fundamentally that the world needs to be thinned out, I would also come to terms with the fact that I could be one of those people thinned out, and would have to accept those consequences.
Thinning the herd is good, but everytime a natural disaster pwns a country, we have to play "Good Samaritan" and step in and give billions of our tax dollars in aid to said country. Kind of a double edged sword.
Do you think the US wants to be known as the country that didn't help Haiti?
It's all about image.
