But markets are markets, not social welfare systems.

Your contradicting yourself there. What are the markets for? Eh I think they are for making money are they not?

I think we're getting crossed wires here, the impression I got was Kimo was pointing out other people's misguided reasons for having a downer on profit in these situations, I don't think he was expressing his own view, or at least thats my take on it.

I can see your angle, but i trade them for my welfare, i don't give a sh!t about anyone else.

thinking to make money from such an event is not morally right IMO

Interesting concept - profiting from people's misfortunes. Pharma companies do ok out of it though. Undertakers too. The insurance industry. I could go on. And on.

Naughty capitalism eh. Bad capitalism.

It's true. Only poor countries revolt. Why? Because the citizens are not dollared-up.

Money = Content.

You're right Amit, it is pretty awful but I think people forget just how tiny we are and just how fragile & tenuous our existence is in this universe.

Unbelievable power. I seen some news footage earlier on, hundreds of cars being tossed around like plastic bottles.

Totally agree. Mother earth does not discriminate, we're just lucky to live in europe.

TBH, and I know f**k all about this, with Japan and NZ already, gotta wonder if this has relieved any pressure on san andreas or could that be due the big one?

 

[robster970]

Seismologists just can't predict when they're going to happen. This might not even be a big one for Japan.
