#1 I'm sorry for the victims. But I won't send one more penny. The money I gave after the tsunami hit taught me two things, because I watched carefully what happened: Moslems would rather finance their jihad against the West than help co-religionists in an emergency situation; and no matter what Americans do we will be hated and denounced ("stingy" they said).

Sorry. Try to hold your co-religionists responsible, for once. I'll reconsider my options after I see Moslem countries donate money to help innocents (no matter what their religion) rather than financing jihad on infidels.

Money is fungible. Unfortunately, every dollar donated to a Muslim country is another dollar available for jihad.

#5 6.3 is not that major a quake. They really need to build better structures.

#7 1933: 6.3 quake hits southern California. Long Beach is devastated, schools collapse, 115 people are killed.

1971: 6.4 quake hits San Fernando, 65 people killed, over $1billion damage; hospital wings collapse, major dam is cracked.

1983: 6.4 quake hits Coalinga. I get moved sideways a traffic lane, brick buildings come crashing down,

1984: 6.2 quake hits Morgan Hill, over $10 billion in damage

1987: 6.1 quake hits the Whittier/Rosedale area, 8 killed. Within the next month, another major quake and then a 6.2 and 6.6 as well. Several dozen dead, nearly 4000 people seriously injured; fortunately the aftershock quakes were centered away from dense populations. Over $10 billion in total damage.

6.3 can do significant damage even in a well-prepared wealthy country. Java is neither.

#9 I got an application for their Iranian division for when I retire. Good benefits, travel, and you can't beat the job satisfaction...
