Not mad at just China.
LOL.
Classic....just classic...
When we think about changing our government to get it back
in line with the Constitution, and the almost impossibility
of that happening, think the Chinese people and their ability
to change their government.
I don’t wish broad death and destruction on the people of
any nation.
It’s a tough old world out there...
You decide.
God has more patience than we do.
But there’s even a limit to that.
If you’ve read it, you know that when He does come back to deal with things, it’s going to be very evident and sharp.
Don’t ever fool yourself that God is behind in anything.
And he’s not mad at everybody. But the path is narrower than most people realize.
Where do you evacuate 38 million people to? Thats insane.
China floods threaten collapse of The Three Gorges Dam, one of the world largest. This article maybe of interest to only a few of you, but if it materializes, in some form or another it may affect all of us.
I came across a mathematical study the other day in reference to the water pressure against the dam walls of the Three Gorges dam which was rather impressive with a conservative estimate of about 25 million tons of pressure. You may find this short movie clip on YouTube by searching for FORCE OF WATER ON CHINA’S 3 GORES DAM WALL.
As far as the stability of this dam is concerned, from time to time I run across the comment that the base of this dam is not anchored to the bedrock beneath, since it is known as a gravity dam. The thought crossed my mind that this may have been done on purpose, why? From what I understand is that this area is subject to frequent quakes and needless to say, should there be a solid connection to the bedrock below it would transfer any motion throughout the whole dam.
With the dam being constructed from individual blocks any severe motion of the ground beneath could place quite a bit of stress on any of the individual sections forcing them to move. This along with the enormous water pressure behind the dam wall, could quite possible expedite the demise of this dam. For this reason I believe, maybe I am wrong, they choose to let the ground slide independently from the structure resting on top.
Either way, I would not feel comfortable or safe living anywhere downstream of this dam, knowing that this dam is holding back a lake approximately 360 miles in length. Not only that, but should this dam give way I would not be surprised to see that it would usher in some big political changes, which would be to the benefit of several neighboring countries including Hong Kong
You’re confusing me with God.
Let the Commies drown.

Like Robin Williams said, he's gonna come back as Charles Bronson!
they may have more deaths but they could have a better chance at doing it just by attrition.
ccp is after all very concerned about citizen revolt, even too many rural people wanting to go into the cities
way more people could disarm and take up the taken arms and just keep going.
Siberia.Plenty of open space.
Because we all know how the Chinese don’t just make it to spec, they also over-engineer for quality.
Means we (USA) will sell the Chineese more corn, wheat, beef and pork.
No, they still have over a billion living in their normal homes.
communist building projects, esp in china, are not known for their super building quality. i do remember reading they were worried about not the right type of concrete being used in certain places.
If that dam breaks they won’t be able to invade Taiwan.
Could also go the other way, attack, and take what you need.
“The most dangerous creation of any society is the man who has nothing to lose.”
James Baldwin
You mess with the Bible and you are messing with the way for people to find Him.
I’m praying for the dam to hold. I won’t cheer for calamity.
If I can put on my tin foil conspiracy hat, maybe our HAARP weather controller is giving China a little payback.
