just wow...what a thing to say on a CA earthquake thread!
What a disgusting thing to say. Some of us have family there.
Well see if the moderators put up with AHs like you here.
I am well aware of the adage that if you have to explain a joke, it wasn't very funny in the first place...
My comment was not saying that we would be better off. My comment was an (apparently weak) attempt at a joke, since it was a prediction that there would be such posts further down the thread. It is a fairly common joke formulation, the humor being in that we can expect people to say things so outrageous.
Obviously, not a very successful joke. I am sorry I was offensive.
