Someone really needs to go to the core and pop a cap in Shiva's ass.

A lab monkey can be well educated. It takes something a bit more to be smart.

Everyone knows it isn't god that shakes the tectonic plates and causes earthquakes, its thousands of geologists on pogo stick. Fear their wrath! The wrath of Geology! Mwahahaha! (ok, slightly overdramatic)

No one in Iran claimed this was was a delibarate act of God. They know what plate tectonics is and have scientist working in this field. Arabs are not a bunch superstious desert dwelling camel owners. Stop stereotyping them.

The death toll just goes to show you how important regulations are when it comes to building structures in earthquake zones. Of course, I have no idea where Iranians are going to get the steel or wood required to build modern homes and business. I doubt anything will change.

Iranian's are not Arabs, and you would be wise not to make such mistakes when complaining about sterotyping.
