If the New Madrid fault broke loose today like it die in 1812, everything along the Mississippi would be toast.

I will say that me calling a 4.0 “barely noticeable“ might’ve been an exaggeration of my own, but the seismic scale is a base 10 logarithmic. It’s not like a 2.0 is half of a 4.0 quake.
My mistake, sorry. I tried to quote too many.

Really don't know how you can take shots at people that went to something like a Christian school and basically call them indoctrinated idiots and claim you're not being divisive as well.

But if you've rationalized making comments about racial, religious or ethnic groups then all I can suggest is some introspection.

Don't worry, there will be no more earthquakes once EVs are mandates and ICE vehicles are banned.

Have Democrats found a way to link the Earthquake to climate change yet?

I wonder what the difference is?

No clue. I guess some acts of nature are treated differently than others? Or maybe some insurance companies are better than others.

That shouldn't be surprising. News is 24/7 now, they have a lot of time to fill. Look how the eclipse is so hyped.

I didn't say they were idiots. I just pointed out that religious schools by their nature indoctrinate. I know intelligent who went to them. Please point out where I made comments about racial and ethnic groups. Reading comprehension matters.
