r4zz3nd4hcub3n: hello
Gothic Ichthus: hi
r4zz3nd4hcub3n: whats up
Gothic Ichthus: not much
r4zz3nd4hcub3n: some of your prophesies in the polemics section aren't true.
r4zz3nd4hcub3n: like the increased # of earthquakes...
Gothic Ichthus: ???
Gothic Ichthus: umm, i got it out of a report
r4zz3nd4hcub3n: yeah, the report is wrong.
Gothic Ichthus: errr.. ok
Gothic Ichthus: lol
Gothic Ichthus: are you an authority on the subject?
Gothic Ichthus: lol
r4zz3nd4hcub3n: http://neic.usgs.gov/neis/eqlists/7up.html
r4zz3nd4hcub3n: thats not even 6.5 eq's, thats 7+
Gothic Ichthus: how do you know that this one is correct
Gothic Ichthus: and the other one is false though
Gothic Ichthus: lol
r4zz3nd4hcub3n: because its the US geological survey
Gothic Ichthus: this is just a website though
r4zz3nd4hcub3n: not some bible major
Gothic Ichthus: you can put anything on a website
r4zz3nd4hcub3n: ok well its a government organization
Gothic Ichthus: the report i used was actually published
r4zz3nd4hcub3n: the United States Geological Survey
r4zz3nd4hcub3n: my dad worked for them, I think I can trust them...
Gothic Ichthus: ok
Gothic Ichthus: i'll look into it
[several minutes later]
Gothic Ichthus: by the way.. the USGS site you gave me only registered quakes with 7.0 RS or above.. whereas my report records 6.5 +
Gothic Ichthus: so it's not necessarily false
r4zz3nd4hcub3n: joey your report has LESS eq's listed as occurring and it has a more broad criteria than that of the USGS report
r4zz3nd4hcub3n: that automatically falsifies your information
Gothic Ichthus: ok... i'll still look into it, but that doesn't mean that my sources are false because one other source contradicts it
r4zz3nd4hcub3n: I sent my dad a quesiton about it and he did the quick research and wrote this:
r4zz3nd4hcub3n: "Draw your own conclusions, Keith. We're looking at >7.0 magnitude quakes here rather than >6.5, but I think you can see that the clearly the numbers don't/can't match what were in the article you sent me. Statistically, things are pretty much unchanged since 1900, maybe even a slight decrease in the average. Dad"
Gothic Ichthus: lol ok i'll do some more research
