Got any links or info about the satellites being pulled out of orbit?

I can imagine all sorts of shit. I can imagine fairies. I can imagine JFK being shot by aliens. I can imagine earthquakes controlled by unnamed powers destroying Iceland. Being able to imagine stuff doesn't make it true, or anywhere near true. Proving stuff makes it true. You haven't and you can't because it isn't.

You know that a butterfly in Europe can set off a tidal wave in China, right?

This looks like the sort of stuff you could be coming up with, y'know, if your sources were credible.

Acutally, it could be you're looking at the same data the researchers in the article are, but your interpretation leaves a little to be desired.

Couldn't see anything in there about meteors though. :/

All he really needs to establish a causal relationship between the meteor showers and earthquakes is a vengeful God who has a bit of a down on Iceland.

Not that I want to drag religion kicking and screaming into this otherwise bonkers thread - but Mr. 53, do you believe that it could all be God's fault? If not, then whose? The Illuminati, aliens, Nostradamus, or Barack Obama?

Jehovah...

My money's on Rebekah Brooks

Ah... that guy again.

 

I reckon it's all Buddha's fault. He wouldn't like Iceland, too cold and slippery, so he's going for a conversion. If it's pounded with enough meteorites, it'd flatten the landscape and with the extra geological activity, presumably warm the place up a bit. No doubt, the lack of hills and warmer climate would appeal to the fat man himself.

Yeah, but Buddha fucking LOVES Bjork, so there's no way he'd mess with her homeland.

She does have her fingers in many pies.

 

Though the 'total annihilation of a country via weather' pie does seem a little over the top. :C

He does love his screaming. I wonder how he feels about Norwegian Black Metal? If that's a no go, it could spell the end for that country too.

He'll have a big down on Afghanistan after the Bamiyan Valley business.

She has the power of the Chipping Norton set behind her, and they're pure unadulterated evil.

<feverishly looks up Bamiyan Valley on wikipedia>

 

What's happening there then? Are the Afghans destroying it all?

 

<reads further into the article>

 

Damn Taliban - what's the matter with these people?

(nod)

They're wankers, is what.

I have several responses to this:

1. It's not like people who claim to be fervently religious (especially where the religion prohibits idolatry) destroying the iconography of another religion/sect is novel. It's been going on since at least ancient Egypt, and we did our share of it too.

2. Buddhism values an acceptance of transience and lack of attachment.

3. Dropping bombs on their houses is worse.

But yes, I'm not being contentious or owt. The Taliban are vile.

Worth saying that tourist traffic visiting the Buddhas was a major source of income to the whole valley. That's arguably the greatest crime of the Taliban; depriving local people of their living.
