That being said, I think the idea that America will take over Haiti is silly. One, there's no reason to take over Haiti and it'd cost more than it would be worth, and two because if the earthquake is devastating enough to completely destroy Haiti's country and government, there probably won't be anything left on Haiti that America will want anyways. Plus no Americans would want to go there. It's not like they're going to say "Oh hey, this place was just hit by an earthquake that completely annihilated the civilization, but what the hey, let's move there, even though it'd be much more safe in the US! Let's not even worry about how Haiti was already having problems before the earthquake even struck!" So yeah, that's probably not going to happen.
That's assuming that things even get that bad in the first place. Canadians and Americans (not sure about what other countries are doing) are already trying to aid Haiti as much as possible, I figure, although it's entirely possible that I may be wrong, that the UN, Red Cross, etc. are going to urge people across the globe to help the Haitians in their time of need.

Up to 500,000 people dead, that's just terrible. And then there's those people who're seriously injured, or who've lost friends and family, and their homes...I honestly can't imagine.

If you want to talk about the Earthquake and Haiti, then by all means: go nuts.
Just keep your retarded conspiracy theories / so called propaganda nonsense out of this.

Anyway yeah I heard about this but I also heard that they don't have much information about how bad it was yet, just that it was pretty bad. So... good job jumping the gun on the US taking over Haiti?
(Why would the US even WANT to do that anyway?)

Anyway, what happened to Haiti is devastating, but the thought of the US taking over Haiti is just dumb. It's already been explained, so I'm not going over it.

I disagree. Everyone agrees is an absolute tragedy and I'm sure everyone wishes the best for everyone affected by it.
There is no debate on the issue. What can be said has been and posting here won't help them either.
A better use of people's time would be to go to the DEC website and actively help out the effort to provide aid.

well we could talk about bill clinton's plan to rape haiti with tourist traps and sweatshops
or about how this didn't happen in a vacuum, and there is going to be further US intervention in their political system, like the 2004 coup

Ah, that's really sad. I feel so sorry for everyone who's suffered in this earthquake, it's an absolutely horrible thing to go through.

It's not outside the realm of possibility but California's West Coast sits directly on a fault line so all buildings are reinforced to withstand the insane releases of frictional force. The best option is to assume that any magnitude is possible and prepare for the worst.
Also, to add some more color to this thread, Rush Limbaugh lambasting White House's relief efforts.

OR maybe that 2012 movie was right, before the major events happened, regular feelable earthquakes were frequently occuring everyday. Perhaps this is only the beginning of many more earthquakes to come for the next two years.

Every cloud has a silver lining though, I suppose. It's pretty great to see how everybody's contributing to try and help Haiti, or at least where I live. How many of you guys have donated money to the Relief programs yet? I donated $10. Not that much, but it's a start.

That's a bit of a shocker. You're on wobbly territory there.
Seriously, it's not funny. Check out this shocking video of how horrific the Earthquake was.
Hahahaha no.

I haven't done anything yet, but if I can find a way to do so locally, I will.
And is it wrong that I laughed at those jokes? I dunno. I guess I just like dark humor. :/
