Honestly, how are people so fucking retarded that they get worked up over stuff like this?


Idk bro, scientists saying that the moon's energy could fuck shit up, then in the past week there was a flooding in NJ where several people died, Tsuanmi and earthquake in Japan, and an earthquake in china.

Dosn't it seem a little strange to you how all these natural disasters are happening around this time?

Nope. It's absolutely a coincidence. As LD_50 said, the moon's distance regularly varies by almost 30,000 miles. If it's slightly closer now than it usually is at perigee, there's no reason to think that's causing anything major on earth apart from slightly higher tides.

Well, that does happen everytime the moon reaches perigee (Its closest point to the earth)

Though I've heard some talk about this, I haven't read up on it, is it supposed to be closer than usual during the perigee?


you are slacking bro..its clearly a sign of the end of days

it surely is terrifying just to put the pieces together...from haiti to japan's earthquake, they're all happening one thing to another.
the gap between each tragedies are just few months and it's just getting worst!

(It should be noted that astrology is not a real science, but merely makes connections between astronomical and mystical events.)

And you know this as a fact? There wouldn't be speculations by scientists if they didn't think that something like this could have dramatic effects. I'm not saying that it will have any effect or it won't have effect, I'm saying you shouldn't be so quick to dismiss the possibility.

Let me put it in perspective for you. Sure, you can move around a campfire from 1-5 feet away without any worries of getting burned, but if you move too close, you can get burned without realizing it.

That's cool, basically the thing your friend sent you said nothing bad will happen. Why are you scared?

Scientific minds are doubting minds by necessity. Present evidence and it'll give me a reason to consider it.
