I've been watching about it in horror. Apparently many of the deaths are from a building which pancaked.

An idiot reporter took the biscuit for most fuckwitted question in recent memory: he asked some poor bloke who had just been pulled out of that building :"How did you feel when that happened?"

The bloke responded,with eloquent understatement: "Not Good"

Agreed Rayaan....this is at the heart of our atheism.

I'm fine thanks for all your concern, lots of poor buggers out there weren't so lucky.

If he exists he must LOVE making me homeless... I've been in my flat for 1 week since I relocated from my old flat that was deemed unsafe following the big boxing day aftershock.

Maybe becuase there are greater things than human beings.

Anyway, it isn't a bad thing as such. It is a natural occurance, therefore, good.

Glad to hear you're ok V, where where you when it hit?

@ Ib.me it is neither good or bad, it just is(speaking objectively)

Speaking subjectively, it's a disaster.
