You are fucking stupid. I personally know several vegetarians who don't see eating meat as biologically wrong, but simply disagree with the factory farm industry. And honestly, there are a LOT more important issues than what people choose to eat or not eat. People always bitch about hostile vegetarians/vegans, but it always seems like they're not the ones constantly shitting all over themselves about personal dietary choices. Pro-abortion? Spare me. If abortion is criminalized it will still occur, but women will die through unsafe abortions. How very fucking pro life. Crawl out of your cave and into the real world from time to time, okay? |

| The Decemberists – Calamity Song Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
"And I believe California succumbed to the fault line" "The first part of the song is about the theory that the next big earthquake will snap the San Andrea's fault line and send California to the sea." Er, California will never fall into the ocean. The San Andreas fault (which, I assume is the 'fault line' the Decemberists are describing considering it's the fault that gets the most attention in California, plus it also the largest fault in the state) is a transform fault with a strike-slip motion: http://www.abag.ca.gov/bayarea/eqmaps/fixit/ch2/sld003.htm California will someday be were Alaska presently is on the globe due to the fault's movement, but this will only occur over millions of years. It's a common misconception California will break off from the continent and fall into the ocean. That's seismically and geologically impossible. I think the "succumbed to the fault line" part just means that, in the song, the San Andreas generated a major earthquake that killed a lot of people, considering many large cities sit right on top of the fault (such as Palm Springs). In reality, if and when the fault produces a large earthquake a lot of people will probably die, sadly. "We heaved relief As scores of innocents died" I don't know what one could be relived about when thousands of people are killed in a natural disaster. Seems a bit callous to me, but I'm probably missing something. Maybe they're referring to the relief of knowing the large earthquake finally happened (there's a lot of hype around it in the California media. Just google 'the Big One earthquake'), and that there won't be another like it in California for another 300 years or so? |
