• Volcano Erupts in Costa Rica
    62 replies, posted
Falling ash from Costa Rica’s Turrialba Volcano closed the country’s Juan Santamaría International Airport on Thursday afternoon at approximately 4:00 p.m., according to airport management. Turrialba Volcano erupted three times Thursday morning and early afternoon, sending volcanic ash more than a kilometer into the air. Winds carried the ash 67 kilometers from the crater to the capital, where it dusted cars and homes. The ash restricted visibility and irritated eyes in San José.

Weird to think I was standing on top of that volcano last year. Volcano's are amazing things.

That's like saying "unexploded bombs from ww2 are amazing!" with no respect for those who have been harmed, killed or otherwise affected by them EXPLODING. i get it, they're sciencey and look cool, but have some respect for the dead... think about the terrible inconvenience this is going to cause and the affect it'll have on our atmosphere

One can say something is amazing without disrespecting the people who have died there. Why so caustic?
[QUOTE=Map in a box;47314764]we're not enjoying the damage, we're enjoying the cause. there's nothing we can do to stop this. so yeah volcanoes are kinda awesome[/QUOTE] with that logic we should all be going "oh man, cancer is an amazing condition and how very interesting!!" except you don't because that's massively disrespectful to those affected by cancer. [QUOTE=mdeceiver79;47314765]Something can be amazing and still be dangerous. One can say something is amazing without disrespecting the people who have died there. Why so caustic?[/QUOTE] "oh man, unethical medical experiments are so neat!!" maybe its just because its felt that the death toll isnt high enough for it to actually matter to you?
[QUOTE=barrab;47314760] think about the terrible inconvenience this is going to cause and the affect it'll have on our atmosphere[/QUOTE] Volcanoes are natural processes, it's pretty hilarious to be upset over its effects on our atmosphere when we are unnaturally destroying it ourselves.
[QUOTE=Rofl my Waff;47314782]Volcanoes are natural processes, it's pretty hilarious to be upset over it's effects on our atmosphere when we are unnaturally destroying it ourselves.[/QUOTE] So what, human beings are an unnatural process? [I]come on[/I] even with your strange logic, do we celebrate human beings destroying the earth? some people do, they enjoy the idea of leaving the lights on all night or leaving a tv on standby because they can, because it's [I]convenient[/I], but those people are willfully ignorant assholes.
[QUOTE=barrab;47314771] "oh man, unethical medical experiments are so neat!!"[/QUOTE] You are literally trying to compare people finding volcanoes interesting to saying that they don't care about cancer sufferers. You clearly don't know what "logic" is if you're jumping to these conclusions.
[QUOTE=barrab;47314771]with that logic we should all be going "oh man, cancer is an amazing condition and how very interesting!!" except you don't because that's massively disrespectful to those affected by cancer.[/QUOTE] There will be many people who find cancer very interesting, incidentally.
[QUOTE=barrab;47314786]So what, human beings are an unnatural process? [I]come on[/I][/QUOTE] Human beings farting is a natural process that effects our atmosphere. Human beings extracting billions of dead ferns from the carboniferous and burning them to move metal machinery I will classify as unnatural.

[QUOTE=Rofl my Waff;47314794]Human beings farting is a natural process that effects our atmosphere.

[QUOTE=Grizz;47314792]There will be many people who find cancer very interesting, incidentally.[/QUOTE] and yet no one is jumping in joy after cancer causes mayhem in someone's life (like a volcano errupting, executing its potential). I WONDER WHY. [QUOTE=Zillamaster55;47314790]You are literally trying to compare people finding volcanoes interesting to saying that they don't care about cancer sufferers. You clearly don't know what "logic" is if you're jumping to these conclusions.[/QUOTE] Sorry but the word that was used was "amazing", you are literally not even reading what you're responding to. [QUOTE=AcidAmbience;47314805]do you know how dumb this post sounds[/QUOTE] is it because you read it in a dumb voice? audio placebo is a very real thing it's not even worth responding to you sickos, but you know, just like josef mengele would have said 'knowledge is more important than human lives' rest in peice to all living creatures affected by this anomaly in nature
[QUOTE=barrab;4731481] and yet no one is jumping in joy after cancer causes mayhem in someone's life (like a volcano errupting, executing its potential). I WONDER WHY. [/QUOTE] There's a slight difference between a cancer patient and a temporarily closed airport, Gaia.
[QUOTE=Grizz;47314819]There's a slight difference between a cancer patient and a temporarily closed airport, Gaia.[/QUOTE] you are aware that volcanos don't just close airports, right???? do you even know why a volcano would cause an airport to close? i'll give you a hint, it has something to do with the massively interrupting and toxic chemicals released when a volcano errupts - what else do you think that does to the envrionment? what about all the birds and insects killed by the fumes, unable to escape such fates without our advances in technology?
I get where you are coming from but you need to separate your emotions and your subjective morality and look at their perspective from a fair logical standpoint They said This volcano is beautiful. They did not say The deaths caused by this volcano are beautiful.
[QUOTE=barrab;47314820]you are aware that volcanos don't just close airports, right????[/QUOTE] No, they bring out posters like you too.

[QUOTE=Grizz;47314833]I hope you don't drive.[/QUOTE] cars are cruel and unnessesary creations, but try telling that to your hummer heros. personally i like to walk to where i'm going or take public transport for the lowest possible carbon footprint
Wow volcanos kill people? How dare they, someone ought to stop them
[QUOTE=Killbane;47314847]Wow volcanos kill people? How dare they, someone ought to stop them[/QUOTE] i think you'll find that is why experts study them, to prevent deaths when they do errupt and find more useful plaecs to put their massively distructive potential, such as geothermal generators and greenhouses [QUOTE=Bathtub;47314850]this thread is a disaster[/QUOTE] what a contructive and useful post *rolls eyes*
this thread is a disaster

[QUOTE=barrab;47314832]"please zing my post" really, what are you even trying to say with that? it's not even a pun[/QUOTE] I'm making fun of the fact you take offense and are shocked at people finding geological activity interesting or cool. None of the people in this thread find the deaths or destruction caused by it to be cool. There's an important difference.

Someone is having a bad day

I bow down to the Gaia hypothesis and take my leave.

If someone died on earth, because of earth would you say earth is "a right cunt"?
