I am so sorry about my reference that China’s earthquake was karmic due to tibetan treatment. I see Missisipi river floods as a sign of bad karma that emitted when I am NOT nice to the Chinese.
Cap demon,
please do not emitt any more bad karma, because 8/8/08 will be a day when the U.S. will experience many more multiple Katrinas. . .. pray the lord for mercy

Pandas’ enclosure (panda house) + wildlife house were destroyed about 38000 square meters, forests destroyed 328,667 hectares, Sichuan forests covering rate adjusted down by 0.5%, and disatered area by 1.87%. Panda habitat destroyed 120,000 hectares. And it needs about 20-30 years for the nature reserve (forests and plants) to be recovered to the same level before earthquake took.

Ladies and Gentleman:
I have read most of your youthful comments about Karma and end times and even the bible predictions. Yes it is true the hand of God personally Blessed me for a mission of “Devine Vengence” upon CRIME,CORRUPTION,VIOLANCE,HATE, better known as “THE GARDEN OF HATE!”. If you have a problem with your human condition I reccommend you attend the Catholic Church mass where the true God Jesus Christ resides. So my mission here on Planet Earth is to rectify all the wrongs mankind has perpitrated on Nature and its God of the creation of the Universe. You can all look the other way and live in denial but there is a time when the Lord will come knocking and holding you accountable for looking the other way, rather then getting in there and making this world a better place. Yes, “It is judgement day on Planet Earth!” I will liberate the oppressed and downtrodden of China! They are human beings with souls worth saving!

Captain Demo….cracy,
Jesus teachs us that “there is a temple of God” inside everyone.
When Satan asked Jesus, “Can I take this man awau from you, snice he is your follower?”. Jesus reply, “Go and ask him yourself !!!”
Jesus said that “Satan has to ask God permission before Statan can tempt a man?”
Where is God ? God is inside everyone. so ask who before Satan can take a person away ? Ask our own-self, help our own-self before Satan take each away.
Save yourself first before God can save you !!!
In the name of the God inside me, Satan go away !!!
Sharon Stone:
I think you should explore Jesus Christ about yourself and why your life is so confused. The events that are happening in the World are not of my making but of your and people like you making it, for your failure to get involved and show compassion toward your fellow human beings. Look at San Francisco a “Garden of Hate!” Why? Because people like you bury your heads in the sand and pretend evil does not exist and as a result evil grows even more so like Tibet and Tianamien Square Massacre, Communism is “evil”. For you and others to look the other way your as guilty as the communists that are doing it! Let me tell you what a Great American said: “There is nothing to fear but fear itself!” {F.D.R.) President Franklin D. Roosevelt. Sharon Stone stand up and be an American!
Captain democracy champion of Liberty and Justice!
Captain Demo…cracy,
Democractic and communist are both human civilisation, philosohpy and good ideology, both are created by ‘evoluted minds” solely for the progress of human beings’ society, something like “Nobel-inventor of the high explosive dynamite”. None of them are evil. Use them correctly and rigteously, make the didderence between “God” and “Satan”. Only those ploiticians or “narrow minds” said that one is God while the other is evil. From the history, “narrow minds” politicians created Wars.
You can’t even see these clearly, you don’t see “evil” or ‘satan” clearly and you don’t know what is “God”. Save yourself before you “Will” to save the World. Satan wants to get involve in everything and everywhere also, like God does. Satan disguised himself as God when Satan tempts a person. Satan will never say that he is bad and everywhere. Satan is just standing near beside God.
Captain Democracy you are such a mad dog.I bet you must have had a terrible childhood through which your twisted soul has been made.And now you are trying to revenge on the whole world with your evil minds and all of your bad karma.That is really pathetic
Joe:
I have had a great and normal childhood. You live in denial, what are you doing to make the world safe and heaven on earth. Yes I am blesse3d by Jesus Christ and am chosen to put the fear of Jesus Christ into this world for its sinning and evil ways! Do you like the “Fires”, “Floods” and acts of “NATURES GOD!” Joe get right with Jesus Christ before it is to late.
Captain Democracy on the mission for Jesus Christ
Satan will say that “he is blessed and chosen by God” also.
