Ummm I think smokeape is criticizing those who live on the coasts outside the US and inside the US under the premise that when a hurricane hits florida, or a quake hits California, the rest of the country has to pay aid, insurance companies have to pay policies, and that makes life harder on people in "safe" areas. Of course using such logic, that would eliminate people from living in the SouthEast due to hurricanes, it would eliminate people living in California due to the fault lines, it would eliminate much of the western dry states because of forest fires, and it would eliminate much of of the mid-West/South region because of Tornado alley and flooding. So I guess everyone would have to live in the Northeast and along the Canadian border. As a representative of the Northeast I graciously invite the western seaboard to our cold but comfortable waters, and I respectfully direct those from the south/mid-west to seek shelter along the Canadian border. :p |
No one wants to live in the Northeast anyway. And also, along the Canadian Border is not safe due to sub-zero temperatures and the frequency of blizzards in the winter.
And we can't have people living in DC because the chance of dying by gunshot wound is higher that average.
:p

Actually I think the murder rate in DC is the highest in the US. But DC is awesome, murders and all ... you people just need to be quick on your feet. All you midwest people have been getting soft thinking you're safe and all. My lease is up in July ... I may move to North East DC ... should be fun :p. |

not even human goodwill can ever surpass survival of the fittest. no money will bring the dead back, only help out the survivors, to some extent.
if nothing else, its good karma to help out, as in the case of the tsunami. what goes around comes around...

I don't know if D.C. still retains the title. I grew up near there and they always held the record in the old days, but times change. Quick search yielded the following.
| quote: | CHICAGO, Illinois (AP) -- Despite a sharp drop in homicides, Chicago has regained a title it didn't want: America's murder capital.
The city finished 2003 with 599 homicides, police said Thursday. That was down from 648 a year earlier and the first time since 1967 that the total dipped below 600.
Still, the nation's third-largest city outpaced all others for the second time in three years. New York, with about three times the population, ended the year with 596 homicides. Los Angeles, which had the most murders in 2002 at 658, wound up 2003 with an estimated total just under 500. |
Atlanta was a hard competitor as well a few years back. Anybody got an update?
:cool:

| Wow, crap, I never imagined the scale of the disaster to be that great. I guess it's one thing when you just read the statistics and another when you actually see what has happened. |

Same thing applies to Iraq. The American media needs to show more IMO. Some people think its inappropriate, yet didn't have a problem showing the dead bodies of Saddam's son in Times Sq. :conf: |
