    I live in earthquake country and this is the first I ever heard that a dam causes an earthquake.

    And that said quakes are 20 miles from the dam, yet for some odd reason the blame is on the dam.

    I can't explain where China has their earthquakes yet know they have a large share of them.

    Some of the worlds documented major disasters are in China where hundreds of thousands can die in one major earthquake.

    I'm not dismissing you. The article makes a good case for a causal relationship, but the jump to triggering a massive earthquake is another leap entirely. I would like to know if the number of small earthquakes has gone down or is going up--that might tell us something.

    I believe the number has gone up significantly; but I would have to look it up, and I don't want to. You look it up.

    The river is far south of Tangshan.

    So, a major earthquake happened in China well to the north of the "long river" as the Yangtze river is known as.

    If you are at the site of that earthquake and need to get to the Yangtze river, you need to travel more than 13 hours.

    Frankly, I won't lose sleep over that dam project. And will not fret they will suffer earthquakes.

    The quake of 1976 took place 13 to14 hours northeast.

    Small quakes are a good sign that large quakes are far from nearby in time scales.

    The worst quakes mostly come with no warning at all.

    LOL, why would I do that? Either way, I just don't think this is going to ruin China's future, even if things go south.

    He is doing far better with Hispanics than anyone expected, beating both McCain and Romney handling in this demo at this point. He needs to do better with the White and Black vote to get over the top.

    Hillary is only getting 91% of the black vote less than Obama's 93%. This costs her no electoral college votes from Obama's totals.

    Hillary only has 50% of the Hispanic vote compared to Obama's 79% costing her NV, CO, NM and FL, 49 ECV.

    Her 34% of the White vote though, that's could really hurt her.

    SHANGHAI—For over three decades the Chinese government dismissed warnings from scientists and environmentalists that its Three Gorges Dam—the world's largest—had the potential of becoming one of China's biggest environmental nightmares. But last fall, denial suddenly gave way to reluctant acceptance that the naysayers were right. Chinese officials staged a sudden about-face, acknowledging for the first time that the massive hydroelectric dam, sandwiched between breathtaking cliffs on the Yangtze River in central China, may be triggering landslides, altering entire ecosystems and causing other serious environmental problems—and, by extension, endangering the millions who live in its shadow.https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/chinas-three-gorges-dam-disaster/

    If the dam 'blows' (and in my opinion it is just a matter of time) millions of people will be "endangered", and probably killed. That might lead to a massive uprising. There were protests after the last major quake China had that killed so many school children because of shoddy construction techniques. The Chinese people won't sit quietly by if the dam breaks.

    You can go into denial about the world's largest dam (which is starting to crack in several places) if you would like. It makes no difference to me as I am Chinese like I believe you are.

    Thats interesting considering both Clintons routinely refer to black people as n words and the left is stumbling over themselves in support of these racists.
    Secondly the difference between a conservative and leftists is the leftist will lie when asked that same question, the conservative will cite the actual stats that formulated that opinion because they have no reason to lie.

    According to your link, a Black person is about 5 times more likely to be a serial killer than a White person.

    Even though by math more than half of serial killers are white.

    It might, and it could be a major problem for the CCP, but I'm not going to dismiss the accomplishments of the CCP on this alone. There's simply no question as to how effective they have been, especially Deng Xiaoping, since the 1980's. What they have accomplished is unprecedented, and they deserve a lot of credit for it. They are also nationalists (in reality), which is at the core of their success.

    I'm not Chinese, but I studied China and Mandarin while I was in college. I also studied in Beijing for a bit, so I have more appreciation for the Chinese than most Americans.

    Evidently, you don't know enough about math to understand proportionality. This is the second time in as many days that I've seen a liberal post something with no regard for proportionality, which reflects either dishonesty or incompetence.

    eventually just like we see with Israel they would grow and need to expand.... then those on the outskirts would become like palisitne, I do not think isolation works

    putting all blacks in Mississippi would be recreating segregation all over again

    Best way to do that is to make sure you stay one yourself, that way you get to hang out with the same sort as you are.

    Why would being critical of black society and its abysmal state make someone a poor citizen?

    Should we wait another forty years to hope the IQ gap narrows by then?

    I'm not saying being critical of anyone makes you anything, I am saying that being critical of others and trying to make them do what you wish is misplaced effort. If you are a person of whatever "quality" you wish to be then you will be granted a greater ability to pick and choose whom you will associate with, insofar as that is important to you, of course.

    But, if Blacks had their own nation in Mississippi, they'd run their own society, isn't that good for everyone?
