i mean fuck preparedness, all you need is a gun so you can take what you need from the people who have it.

same.


I think we've been though this once or twice before. "dooms day next week" ....vancouver's gonna get hit sometime....i'm not very sure HOW they can detect it... but i'm gonna obsess over it anyways.

While the chances of that happening are still very slim

i like how scared the title makes you feel, then once you read into it the "mostlikely wonts, and small chance's" are sliped in.

I was thinking about it on the bus today and thought shit, each day that goes by we are possibly one day closer to the earthquake happening. :(

I need to stop thinking about it.

[elliot]

cant we talk about the rising sea levels for a bit?

[robyn]

don't tell them our plan!

[Grapes]

What will happen to Boner Island? :(

PS Each day that goes by you are one day closer to your death.

Not possibly. Definetly.

It's life, girl!.. the consolation is that we all have the same rule in that regard. Kind of levels the playing field :)

[hardstylin]

Hardstylin will just use his MMA on the earthquake.

Earthquakes have been talking a lot of shit lately, but when the chips are down they're just pussies.

"This just in: Tornado hits Fort Nelson, BC."

Yeah... not likely. The only natural disaster we'll ever have is running out of bud during a bad snowstorm. =)

Honestly, people should just stop being scared and totally irrational without having a clear understanding of the facts. The fact of the matter is, there is no accurate system for predicting earthquakes and that the reality of living in a subduction zone is that each and every single day of your lives you are at risk for being caught in a strong earthquake. You can either read the fear provoking headlines and not study the facts and just freak out about it, but it's not going to make you any safer if one does happen.

If people actually bothered to read more into it, it is that certain activity that occurs once every few years is happening that causes tremors that can go on for hours, which slightly increases the risk, but it still is a very low risk. Because major seismic activity occurs quickly, again, there is no accurate warning system for earthquakes. I remember being in grade 2 or 3 and some psychic dude was predicting that it would happen on a certain day in Vancouver and everyone freaked out because he apparently predicted the major one to hit Southern Cali in the 80's/90's. Nothing happened.

If you really are scared then the best thing obviously is to be prepared because it is a reality we all have to deal with living in a place that is at risk for large scale earthquakes. This just isn't in the next two weeks, this is pretty much every day in your life.

that was a good conversation.

I'd rather be on the Wet Coast, not worrying about a "potential" earthquake that "might" happen in about 8 decades, than having to sweat out another tornado in Onscario!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm not worried as much since in 2010 Vancouver is set to host the olympics.
I think that the government will help us with food, supplies, and money to rebuild our community so the olympics can bring us some money and tourism.

I should be more prepared though.
