All USD cash paper Money goes back to USA from all countries, then it coased: 1, some countries loss; 2, but USA broken down.
It is the result that USA do nothing but grabbing wealth from all over world via thier virtual economic and finacial systems, as well as printing their USD paper!!!
It is the time to hand the USD paper back to USA!!

The article is a bit confusing. Also, it should be noted that the earthquake was a 7.9 on the Richter Scale and there have been over 76,000 deaths report; that’s 20,000 more than you’ve mentioned in this post.

Hi everyone,

Did you know that the Sichuan Giant Panda Sanctuary, a cherished World Heritage site and home to 30% of the world’s remaining pandas, suffered major damage? Or that the Sanctuaries include breeding centers that support zoos all over the world, and in the United States? Without these centers, the future of the remaining endangered pandas is uncertain. Check out http://www.FriendsofWorldHeritage.org (a grassroots initiative created by the United Nations Foundation with Expedia, Inc. and UNESCO’s World Heritage Centre) to see how you can help save the pandas.

Thanks ramona, I wish Ms Sharon Stone read what you wrote. She was saying it was due to China ill-treatment of Dalai Lama.

Just kidding.

Now at least why I saw the steam coming out from the ground during the earthquake video clips.

Thanks again, ramona.

Hello Kain,

Thanks for the feedback. I’ll separate the posts next time, and give them a more organized title.

I’m sure to have more posts about the environmental effects of the earthquake.

I wanted to say that the earthquake or typhoon and other disasters are created by the water around world, (sea water or ocean water). because under the ocean, theres gas, and the gas is warming up because the ice land is melting, the ice land is melting because the sea water level is getting higher, the sea water is getting higher because most of the rivers are pluged up. The sea water have to circlelate by going through the river and coming back to the ocean from the river. But since the rivers are pluged up, then the sea water don’t have anywhere to go, so it goes to the ice land. So when the ice land is melting, of corse there will be not enough cooling on the ocean, and the gas under the ocean will get hotter and create a massive earthquake. It is just very lucky that there is no tiddlewave after the massive earthquake in China. becuase I believe that when the gas under the ocean is getting hotter, then it will create an earthquake and tiddlewaves. I wanted to explain how the typhoon and tornados created by the water, but my main concern is the rivers, the oceans and the ice land. We should care and love one another, and help each other to survive, but the only way to survive is to gather one another and help each other to clean up the rivers that is pluged up. So that the sea water can have its own way to go through the river and come back from the river. Time is running out and I really don’t know whats going to happen next.

Thank you, and I hope that you will do something.

shark fin soup is NOT populous in China. It is very expensive and usually few restaurant boasts to serve it, but in reality very rare people order it.

Hey Kelly;

Hope I am not the only person posting comments in this thread.

After reading all the links about, I am still kind of confused. What exactly is the fallout from the quake? I might be kind of slow, because I still don’t seem to get what the point was; except that everything are loosely cobbled together in a sort of schizophrenic way. Hate to use that term, but I just can’t shaken that feeling. And what the heck do gibbon the shark fin have to do with the 5.12 earthquake?

So, if you can, could you clue me in a bit about what the nature, extent, potential impact, etc. of the “fallout” from the 5.12 quake.

best
Kain
