Christmas storms in the US kill dozens.
Is this a modern take on the old biblical message? But instead of the Hebrews being a bunch of commandment breaking subordinates, it's now the Americans?
Surely we can only hope!

Most dont travel to other countries so they dont have a clue. Not sure what the figure is now but about 20 years ago I think less than 10% of Americans had a passport. That tells a lot.
LOL try living in Bangladesh pampered fool.

Is God punishing the yanks?
Certainly the recent US storms have been relatively mild compared to the deaths caused by weather or other natural disasters this year throughout the globe.
I also have to say that Tornados in the Eastern states are a more or less permanent risk you have to live with just as the Western states have earth quakes.

1,200 tornadoes per year or roughly 3 per day.

Quite a few I would imagine.
But it's not really the same.
If I drive 1 hour I'm in a country with a different language, culture, housing, food, etc.
In the US folk just travel between trailer parks.
Originally posted by Captain StrangeAre the Bangladeshis "a bunch of commandment breaking subordinates", then, in your opinion? It appears that's what you're saying, since that's exactly what we were talking about when you felt you had to barge in and insult me.

Well, ok, but how many Europeans have been outside Europe?
Especially if you count the Canaries and Cyprus.
Turkey and Egypt very popular cheap holidays.
USA is popular.
Thailand and Far East is popular for big holidays (honeymoons etc)
I'd imagine the same is roughly true for rest of Northern Europe.
