    Bombing of the twin towers shouldn't have happened. Don't you think?

    Shoden, do you mean disasters that effected nature or ones that more directly effected human life?

    Take care all.

    He means ones that were caused by humans, Man-made.

    Perhaps I should rephrase my question:

    Does he mean disasters that more directly effected nature such as an oil spill or disasters that more directly effected lives such as a genocide in Africa?

    Take care all.

    What's genocide? :tries to find dictionary: Where'd I put it...?

    In a nutshell:

    Genocide is the mass killing of people by another group of people usually based upon differences of skin, creed or culture. Think the Holocaust, Stalin's death camps and the like.

    For some time now, there have been genocides going on all throughout Africa, whereas one group of people will massacre and kill another and the West has stood and watched.

    Take care all.

    Hopefully, the world is coming to a realization that all people's lives are sacred and that the only way to stop genocide is to act before it happens, not wait until it's too late.

    Take care all.

    Yeah...I hope this world is also coming to the realisation that war is not the answer to problems. Not to sound like Mayor Dobe (EWWWWWWWWY) or anything but killing things for no reason other than vengence or disagreement in not right. And humans are the onlty creatures that kill for reasons other than survival...should we really have been given to abilities we have so war can rage???

    That one nuclear plant that blew up in Russia in 1974 and killed everything for miles. I saw a site about it once. So, so sad, and scary...everything is still dead and in ruin there, because it's still poisoned to this day.

    Wars always suck too.

    My roommate got super-trashed one night and was so drunk the next morning while I was taking a shower and he wanted to use the bathroom he just took a dump on the floor next to the bathroom door and tried to move it into the toilet after I got out. That was a man-made disaster.
