I've truly seen it all now.
This man is supposedly an inteligent man, he leads a country for goodness sake.
Now, I'm a religious person, but saying this in the name of religion is foolish and wrong I think????

My GCSE Geography teacher (at my Irish Convent school) told us that earthquakes/volcanoes/tsunamis were 'God's way of evening out the population'.

yeah quite how 'hair' is so alluring is beyond me... sort of like victorians and ankles.

toccatanfudge · 20/04/2010 16:51

damn us "western" birds obviously aren't doing enough are we - I mean we're a culture that pretty much accepts one night stands and shagging around as fairly normal...........yet how come we don't have earthquakes here?

Come on girls - lets step up the mark a bit shall we

omaoma · 20/04/2010 16:54

yes clearly the myth of western corruption is just that and really we're all at home with slippers on watching corrie

Is he friends with that idiot who said something about the floods being because of homosexuals....

toccatanfudge · 20/04/2010 17:02

oh come on Riven - there must be something you can do to help out - we're obviously not doing a good enough job here.

omaoma · 20/04/2010 17:03

perhaps there's a natural disaster for every perversion???

JackBauer i've just heard you on ~Scott Mills...

Cripes I am typing like Cod!!

BigBadMummy · 20/04/2010 17:07

if he thinks promiscuous women cause earthquakes he ain't seen nuthin yet.

Wait until he sees what a million disgruntled MNetters can do to soft fleshy parts of his body.

The biggest load of bollocks that I ve ever heard, and this man is meant to be intelligent.

lottaluvin · 20/04/2010 17:13

Was it all those headboards rattling in Iceland? Well they haven't got any money in the bank so they have to do something cost free for entertainment.

Incidentally, thanks to Iceland "we are in trouble" so where's bloody Sportacus when we need him? Maybe he can't fly his airship through the clouds.

I hate to sound like a bigoted arse crack bricklayer but what that man needs is a bloody good sh*g

McSnail · 20/04/2010 17:43

Just read the article out to bloke and he said,

'Aye, they talk a lot of sense those Jihad fuckers'

while quaffing on a cold beer.

It made me laugh anyway...

What a muppet

TheCrackFox · 20/04/2010 18:02

I wore a knee length skirt yesterday and it rained a little bit today so I reckon there is some truth to the theory.

Clarissimo · 20/04/2010 18:09

'Incidentally, thanks to Iceland "we are in trouble" so where's bloody Sportacus when we need him? Maybe he can't fly his airship through the clouds'
it's a dust cloud, surely caused by women too bhusy on MN to actually clean up the dust properly? That would be MIL's take anyway

And she's a nutter too

Nuttybear · 20/04/2010 18:17

Bloody silly men stuck in the middle ages. I am sooooooo glad my Dad moved here when he was 19 years old in the 60's. The women should go on strike FGS
