new zealand is built on a fault line, they get 14,000 quakes a year, this one was out of the ordinary but still just more of the same, relatively speaking
japan is also on a fault line, and has been long overdue (like, 50 years apparently) for a major quake
that one in china wasn't even that intense...
besides, most of the (major) ones recently seem to be along the same fault lines (give or take), so it's probably just slightly abnormal shifts in the tectonic plates
besides again, we're still a year and a half out from the supposed 2012 end date... if this is what it's like now, the end of the world isn't exactly going to be sudden...

I'm getting tired of the 2012 thing. The Mayan calendar just ends there, and it never states the world will end, it states a change, which could be positive; Maybe the Republican Party of the US collectively die in a huge terrorist action? Less bigots - More happiness.
As for natural disasters, the world keeps unleashing its elements, it always has; all we can do is endure. We can't stop earthquakes, tsunamis or tornadoes. Shit goes down, we try to keep standing, that's all.

They are just events.
Random is the wrong word though. And really, if this is the end of the world I?m unimpressed, more drastic things have happened in Earth?s history.

Considering that earthquakes happen at a fairly steady rate and have been doing for several million billion years, a few more is hardly the harbinger of the end.the_green_dragon said:
What is unfortunate is that the convergent faults are mostly in coastal areas, so quakes happen in just the right areas for dense populations. But that we build on fault lines is hardly the fault line's fault now is it?
