I lived through several when i was in okinawa..scary shit! But they build their building's properly, so very little damage is done. American's are dumb as post, they complain thet there home get's blow apart, stop building with WOOD, and build with concreate like the japanese do. |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 355432 United States05/08/2008 05:02 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | All the talk of the "cyclone"... dare they not call it a hurricane? Just because they are in a different location we have to refer to them by their proper names or face ridicule??...STUPID. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 424837Such as calling them typhoons and not hurricanes if they are in the pacific ocean, etc. They are the exact same kind of storms! They're Willy-Willies. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 424837Such as calling them typhoons and not hurricanes if they are in the pacific ocean, etc. They are the exact same kind of storms! Just my peeve for the moment and another example of how the stupidity of the human race makes me sick. Whatever. Yeah, people have no problem memorizing all sorts of useless crap all day (songs, radio stations, tv shows, sports trivia, computer stuff), but toss in two or three more or less interchangable names for the same thing, and it's too damn much! Hurricane, Cyclones, Typhoons are all pretty massive freakin' storms. Anybody that has to endure them can call them whatever the hell they want, I'll go along with it...from the safety of a place that doesn't deal with that crap, of course. Be offended. It's my gift to you. For a few seconds, it means you're awake... |
