What is with the big deal about the Earthquake in New Jersey?

[DarkLegacy]

No one makes a fuss about a Earthquake that magnitude here in the UK and that is even rarer. People's obsession with USA.

We get bigger quakes then that here in the UK

The big deal is that New Jersey serves as a giant landfill for New York. A quake there can unearth a tor**** of rotting food scraps, discarded diapers, and other unsavory items from the Yankees. And as the wind blew across the landfill known as New Jersey, it will carry with it sickening odors that can be smelled all over the world. Not to mention, the entire population of New Jersey would be out of a job covering up toxic crap from the neighboring state.

LMFAO.

I'm serious. Why do you think it's called the "Garden State?" It's a euphemism for buried trash. You don't want that shit opening up -- it would be like the bowels of Hell.

[strateguy632]

not even one house collapsed!

but they don't want people thinking about the hi inflation caused by democrat policy.

[DarkLegacy]

Tell me about it, it was not even a big quake, we can have bigger quakes than that here in the UK and we don't lie on any fault lines.

NYC has some old tall buildings. A earthquake could probably do some damage to those. So it's not about the rarity but the damage it could possibly do.

[DarkLegacy]

Lol you have got problems if your buildings can't withstand that magnitude quake

[Apple1996]

Even in a good building being up that high is dangerous during a earthquake

[DarkLegacy]

Then you should quake proof your buildings

[Apple1996]

I'm not sure that's even possible with that tall of buildings. In areas that get earthquakes a lot they have short buildings. Obviously NYC doesn't have the room to make 1000s of short buildings

[DarkLegacy]

Most Asian countries have managed it alright, they can withstand quakes over magnitude 6

[Apple1996]

Sure but I doubt they do it in areas where earthquakes are rare

[NamerOfStars]

American media focuses primarily on America: film at eleven.

[DarkLegacy]

Im on about the UK media

[handsomelad70]

Especially AMERICA'S obsession with America, which houses FOUR PERCENT of humanity.

[strateguy632]

the tiny four percent that is MOST productive industrial giant!

[handsomelad70]

@strateguy632 China's ecomony is catching up to America's and has quintuple the U. S.' population.

[DarkLegacy]

@strateguy632 Through crime and corruption and blackmail and fraud. Besides you are losing out to China and India.

[DarkLegacy]

Great comment, i can't get over our media obsessing over them though

[handsomelad70]

The personal big deal is that my great-niece and youngest great-nephew live in New Jersey.

I don't know, you brits sure do seem quite obsessed with us, frankly

[DarkLegacy]

Only our media are obsessed with you, the rest of us couldn't give a fuck if you imploded.

[Rangers]

I think you would, cause then, who would protect you, and the rest of Europe from Russia?

Our technology is light-years ahead of anyone's, and the war in Ukraine demonstrates that. And you'd be damn glad to see us if Germany goes Nazi again, wouldn't you?

[DarkLegacy]

You don't need to protect us from Russia, the only problem is that some countries are not going to allow you to take control of the world. Russia would not pose a threat to us if we didn't have you as a so called ally. And your president has already given into them.

[Rangers]

You think I like Biden? Cause I don't, his insulting of Putin and inability to form a proper sentence hasn't helped anything.

But the equipment sent has, Ukraine would be helpless as a non nuclear nation vs the nation with a massive nuclear arsenal.

Russia won't stop with Ukraine, they'll advance and take the rest of Europe, until they reach you. Oh, you'd fight to the death, I know that, just like you boys did against Nazi Germany. But you would be beaten down by numbers, without allies to support you

And there is no greater ally to the UK, than the United States of America. We're the only country that can challenge Russia with our arsenal. Whether you like us or not, if Russia comes to call on you, we'll be there to whip the hell out of them and make them regret ever showing their ugly faces to our allies

[DarkLegacy]

They have also UK and German technology and China, Japan and Germany have far better technology then you Yanks the most arrogant people on the planet.

[Rangers]

I'm more of a reb, than a Yankee, as I thought you might have sniffed out from my profile picture.

Anyway, China's technology is ancient compared to ours. We have infantry fighting vehicles with computer stabilized cannons, two of them destroyed a main battle tank of Russia's, the T90M.

We have enough nuclear weapons to whipe China off the map 1,000 times. And if you think China is your friend, you should open your eyes. They're helping Russia in Ukraine, and have gone as far as to threaten to send troops to Ukraine to help Russia defeat them
