Powerful Earthquake Strikes Iran

TEHRAN (Reuters) - A strong earthquake hit southeast Iran on Tuesday, killing almost 400 people, injuring hundreds and destroying some villages, a local official told Reuters.

The early morning quake, which measured 6.4 on the Richter scale, also injured more than 1,000 people and was centered on the town of Zarand in Kerman province, about 440 miles southeast of Tehran.

The tremor came just over a year after a devastating earthquake in Bam, about 160 miles southeast of Zarand, in which some 31,000 people were killed in December, 2003.

Yes, I did, then I realized you can't say about anything without generalizing, and it's fairly reasonable to consider those fucktards fucktards since i) the majority of them are, and ii) they have a hundred times higher proportion of them than civilized countries.

Lol, you make it sound as if it were our failure that they come and kill us, so we must waste money on those bastards to not get killed (like anybody else paid for our education). That would convert terrorists into a maffia you have to pay not to get screwed by, which is about as bad.

Haven't any of you thought 100000 years ago we were all stupid monkeys humping on trees and we all had equal opportunities? Then some countries developed, and did things. Others didn't. And others relatively did, but then they went backwards, and are now the ass of the world. We have nothing to blame for if they are useless, worthless, terrorist shits. We should build a great wall around them or send them to Mars.
