GROZNY, October 11 (RIA Novosti) - The number of people killed in Chechnya in an earthquake measuring about 5.5 on the Richter scale has risen to four, a spokesman for the Russian North Caucasus republic's emergencies ministry said.
Akhmed Dzheirkhanov said buildings had been destroyed in several districts of Chechnya as well as in the capital, Grozny, and the cities of Gudermes and Argun.
The residents of Grozny, especially those living in multistory buildings, were reported to be leaving their homes in fear of more tremors.
People in the neighboring republics of North Ossetia, Daghestan, Ingushetia and Kabardino-Balkaria, as well as the Stavropol Territory, were also affected by the quake.
As we say in spanish: "Las desgracias nunca vienen solas" or in english: "It never rains but it pours"
Hope not so much problems for people :(

I wonder where the missing Posts went .
Anyone who removed them or compained has severe PC itis .
They were innocuous and it is symptomatic of these baby, baby times that someone would want to take issue with what I Posted and another person also Posted -- quite funny actually .
For God's sake start to behave like wide thinking , tolerant people with more than a smattering of intelligence and broad taste .
The whole argument about regulation and censorship collapses when we have to deal with narrow minded idiots .You lose by even opening your mouths .
It really nauseates me that lurkers presume to know better and think they know what should be allowed for other adults who separately and hapilly chat about C*cks , C*unts , masturbation , threesomes , sex in every imaginable context and selfishness beyond belief .
Why don't you intolerant , unintelligent people go out and do good for other people who are handicapped and hurt in this world .
Stop trying to do what you think is good in areas which are far too complex and sensitive for your silly mentality .

Obviously .
But I take issue with you and I question your ability to make a sound and sensible judgement
I also back my judgement and believe that even if the Forum did not particularly like the comments , they would see your action as heavy handed and inappropriate
This is a publc Forum for adults who do not require to live by your narrow views and old fashioned ideas .
In this instance you are wrong . Are you big enough to admit that possibility ?

Well, you can call me stupid, and anything else you want, it is of no consequence to me what you think.
But your "jokes" were in very bad taste and I'm sure many here were offended by them.
It never ceases to amaze me how seemingly intelligent people can behave in such stupid ways.

Explain the bad taste and I might take your blanket opinion seriously .
I have never heard you involve yourself in political matters before -- apart from repeating bland populist notions .
Tell me how you have become an instant expert on matters relating to priorities , taste , and involvement with world wide happenings and their infinite ramifications .
It is interesting you even refer to jokes . I made one remark or told one story . Did you read it ? Can you repeat it ? How come you confuse "one " with the plural ?
So what exactly are you talking about Jimsan ?

Ramonchu, I agree with you every day we have hundred earthquakes in the world and thousand people killed by traffic or poverty but the news come from several sources, russians and not russians, so we must trust all we can.
First information arrived to me from AFP news agency and then checked in RIA. I am with you when talk about "russian propaganda" and I quoted RIA to show how could be the real drama. Only they can inform from there and only them will say what they want.
You can't dubt about the earthquake, many geological sources confirmed it. You should dubt about information from Russian emergency ministery. If only 10-12 persons death and some others injured or really are hundred or thousand. If only a few without power or all the region are off. If just a few buildings collapsed or a lot.
I hope you check again your sources and show to all how real is the problem.
PS: FYI, Ramonchu is familiar name in basque language. Ramontxu is correct spelling.

I was aware of the news , Sapristi , before you Posted
I never even thought to doubt it , and , as we both probably know , it was a light quake --- under 6.0 -- and even the latest deaths estimates are low --- in the wider picture .
I then Post a story about a drunken Russian submariner who has mistakenly launched one of the latest ( still in trials ) missiles which has landed in Chechnya , rather than somewhere in the Arctic .( correct missile identification and actual Russian nuclear submarine !! ) because he does not know which direction he is facing
What sort of imbecile would take that light hearted Post seriously without reflecting , let alone thinking ?
Does someone really think and imagine I have access to secret Russian missile trials and even know the state of underseas drinking orgies ?
Did someone so confuse their brain that they took my Post seriously . ?
God help me

This is probably old hat to all of you, but Mark sent me a link a couple days ago and I laughed so hard I almost pissed myself.
Some guy in got into a flame war with another guy online, and it pissed him off so much that he drove 1,300 miles from VA to TX to the other guy's house. All along the way, he stopped at the state borders and took photos of the welcome signs to post online (I heard a rumor that he also posted taunts that he was coming for him, but who knows if that's true or not).
Well, the guy in TX didn't take him seriously, but when VA arrived, he set fire to the guy's trailer and burned it to the ground! (!!!)
That in itself is funny enough, but listen to this— that guy from VA is a 9-year veteran of the Navy who earned several medals during his career, including pistol expert and rifle expert. He is Fire Controlman 2nd Class Petty Officer Russell Tavares, weapons systems operator at the AEGIS Training and Readiness Center.
And the best part? His nickname online was PyroDice.
frak, so funny
The other guy, by the way, was a Vietnam vet who said "Before this happened, the rule was: Nobody messes with the haunted house guy."
anyhow, Ramon, I asked you to let it go, instead you continue to be a smart..... this is the second warning, read the rules and memorize them if you can :becky: if you can not, print them out http://www.gogabber.com/showthread.php?t=14
