The last major earthquake there was 60 years ago, I wouldn’t exactly call it an ACTIVE area. I don’t think you can blame the niggers for this one, sorry guys. ---

Really? They’re just ASKING for an earthquake to hit them? You didn’t ALIEN PROOF your house, karter. You’re just ASKING for an abduction. I don’t care if you were too poor to ALIEN PROOF your house… you are an IDIOT for not ALIEN PROOFING your house. The last major earthquake there was a generation ago… They were not ASKING for it. I know you’re excited to use (and misspell) a big word like infrastructure, but they’re not ASKING for it. ---

Thank you, I only said “really” instead of typing out exactly what you said because it is not worth trying to change their minds. ---

> [@Just Karter](#): > > nuts, but in over populated areas with cluttered infastructure they are asking for it. Can’t really consider it as them asking for it since most of the over population and shitty infrastructure are a result of Haiti being a 3rd world country, which is something most of the people that died had no control over. ---

“but you’re wearing a policeman’s uniform…” this is pretty crazy. insane amount of deaths, very tragic. Hopefully there will be a large global contribution and the disaster relief funds properly allocate aid ---
