Why is it that there are idiots out there who have to say this. I just don't get it. <<Tsunami must be fault of the US>> There is nothing to get. It's a figment. No one said what the headline read. There is no evidence of that offered in the article. What you have is either paranoia or trouble-making. Someone publishes that "they" are doing something and the message is received uncritically by a suspicious audience that eats it up and spreads it around. Next thing you know the figment is an urban myth. In this case I'd suggest blaming the messenger rather than blaming "them."

Why is it that there are idiots out there who have to say this. I just don't get it. There are a lot of idiots out there, saying very stupid things. Why is it that otherwise intelligent people spend so much time trying to locate and make common knowledge what idiots are saying? Maybe they want to smear a group of people when they associate that idiot with a group. Maybe they are playing on our emotions...who knows? When they report what those idiots say, doesn't it make you angry? Maybe that's why they report it (to make people angry)? I'm probably not smart enough to figure this all out. HAPPY NEW YEAR... What's your New Years resolution? Mine is to win the football contest and to try to judge each person as an individual and not to think of a person as a member of a group. Not to prejudge people based on what I think about a group I think they belong to. Wow, this an off-the-wall post, even for me.
