Tsunamis

[ivoryisis_older]

This sucks, but you know, I can't blame Earth for getting pissed. I would kill before I would let myself get killed, and so I don't blame her. Too many people.. time to clean 'em out...just like in "The Day After Tomorrow" I suppose. (Yeah, I know not enough people in Asia have been killed. I expect the Earth to do more lovely things, though

Sure sure sure

That is really, really cool. Maybe tsunamis are the human population control wave of the future.

Except that 114,000 dead (at last count) is insignificant compared to the 6,000,000,000 people living on the planet. Less than .002% of the worlds population were killed by the tsunami. And if you want to take into account the deaths caused by diseases in the aftermath, just double the number. It's still insignificant.

Re: Dead animals. Animals move faster than people. They would have been able to get inland faster than people. And they wouldn't have had congested streets to contend with. So, yes, less animals would have been killed.

There are also animals in the wild that scavenge the dead. Any dead animals would have been dragged off and consumed by now. That whole "circle of life" thing, you know.

Yeah, I know... it was just a set-up for my pun.

Ug! *twitch*

That one went right over my head...

The Earth was here long before we were, and it will be here long after.

Although There was a similarity between what you said and what a Band of Christians wrote...On the Community Rapture REady. Only they Used God, and the fact that that country is abou 90% Muslim and other religions....God was "Cleaning out" the region. Which is also the stupidest thing I have ever heard.

As a Christian, I'd have to say that theory is not only stupid but also offensive to the majority of Christians. What an embarrassment.

So, do you belief that the planet has a consciousness and and Will?

[minionjoe]

I like this question. :) I'll hold my opinions until later though.

There's the Gaia hypothesis. http://www.oceansonline.com/gaiaho.htm It makes some sense, and I do tend to think of the Earth as a living being. I don't suppose that it makes any less sense than any of our thoughts about dieties. I believe that the Earth will at least try to clean itself, as that's what it's done in the past in some cases, I think. When things got overpolluted, which they are already, I wouldn't doubt that even more strange things start happening in kind of a avalanche effect.

If I rememeber correctly, the movie, "Final Fantasy, the Spirits within" draws heavily on the Gaia hypothesis.

VAHLLY INTWESTING!

I like how they seem surprised that the Animals sensed the impending disaster - Like Duh!

Well, YEah! I'm glad the animals had more sense than the humans did!

I've always been a bit intuitive about a lot of things, I don't know if I would have sensed the coming tsunami. Especially if I was vacationing in an expensive resort that had me thinking, I'm a God among men. You're very intuitive too.

I think maybe humans have lost touch with their nature and I don't mean because it's a long time out of the trees. I mean I get the sense that there's something contrived and decimated by the nature of the social structures that are imposed upon humans by humans and can effect our natural born senses within a few years of birth in any time period. Not like back 2000 years ago we had more natural senses. Although, that maybe true too. It's something about the manipulation and control that human cultures impose that neglects or even purposely deadens intuition and the natural senses ???
