Typhoon Baiyan - Central Philippines

slang · 11-10-2013, 09:03 AM

Hello. A tphoon recently described as the largest in recorded history has passed through the middle portion of the Philippines.

That is not true, there were 2 previously of the same power and speed. One in 1972 and another in 2010. God is not punishing us or the world. Global warming is not creating more of these storms.

It missed us by several hundred miles. The only inconvenience that we had was an internet outage for 12 hours. The street lights were also out for two nights, which is an inconvenience, for sure but no tragedy.

The wind was howling for the most of 2 days but without a tornado or wind speeds fast enough to blow houses down here in Baguio City.

So, we're in the same condition as we were before the "superstorm" of the century.

Thank you for your attention.

Go out and hate someone today. You'll feel better about yourself.

It can be an effective self esteem builder. If that someone that you hate was to oppose president Obama and his...policies. Go hate someone for your country! For your president!

Thanks Glatt, yes we're all good.

I've had an idea about what I am calling for lack of a better description my "Philippine Disaster Media Kit." It's a template of things that could go wrong here and have. For instance the kit would have an earthquake template, volcanic eruption template, muslim terrorist slaughtering tourists template. You get the idea.

Then when something of that like was to happen here I'd just open that folder, add or change some words and names and fire it off on e-mail/facebook/cellar or whatever. Quick response instead of 12 hour delay response.

Or maybe just start a Twitter account.

But "Destruction" also is not just a word or an island off the coast of Washington.

Quick thought here.

You don't have to hate someone, you can hate someTHING, like among many other things, Obamacare.

Or conservative expats. Whatever fits in your mind.

Gravdigr · 11-14-2013, 03:17 PM

Oh, I know how to hate. I'm a professional.
