I hate to mention this, but Tambora is in Indonesia. Maybe you think that is part of Italy? Given your appalling geography there's no need to tell us which country you come from...

He didn't say it was, Fuzzy.

That's not how it reads

Couldn't resist this.... sometimes one has to use fuzzy logic.  

DUH!!! I know that. Tambora is active again which is why I mentioned it. Tambora was the largest eruption in recent history with Krakatoa a close second but it isn't the largest in recorded history. Santorini holds that title. That's the one that ended the Minoans who had a colony on the island of Crete. That colony was wiped out by the tsunami that resulted from Santorini blowing its top. The island at that time was known as Thera. Plato took that a step further and invented Atlantis. He could a good yarn.

Neither am I.  What I said was done with tongue-in-cheek, and intended to be totally ridiculous, I suppose to highlight how ludicrous it is to put scientists on trial over an earthquake warning.  It may be that I'm not overly fond of politicians and bankers, but they have families and people who love them, too, so it would be unfairly cruel to punish them for the sins of their loved ones. 

Not too fond of Google execs, either.... and figure they should be castrated so they can spawn no more evil. 

[yeah, like their kids are necessarily going to grow up to be Google execs and perpetrate wicked acts against humanity] 

Atlantis? Yes.... but we all know what sank poor old Atlantis, don't we...   

Yeah, that's my bad, sorry. My social skills aren't always up to snuff (if I had any to begin with ) so I misinterpreted what you meant. Again, sorry about that, Sweetie.

No, they will... castrate them... castrate them now!

No, not your bad.... wires sometimes can easily be crossed when on the internet, regardless of social skills.  It is one thing you'll come to know about me, though, I tend to take the mickey a lot and am rarely serious when on the general/community pages... as opposed to the computer and tech pages, where I'm usually well behaved until somebody mentions Google.  I don't care what anyone says, they're evil and deserve all the ridicule and snide comments I can heap upon them.

Okay, so we'll have Google execs at the head of the castration queue, bankers in the middle and politicians to follow up.  Or should politicians go first, then bankers and Googlites?  I suppose it wouldn't matter if we had a few knife wielders and dispensed with the anaesthetic so as not to slow things down.

You have to be clear, precise and logical

...otherwise I remove your gonads with surgical precision

and don't say "go nuts".

Y'see, times like this are why I think there needs to be a hug emoticon. But in its abscence *hug*

Edited the quote. Much better.

All the people who you've listed are good reasons for eugenics really. But I guess castration will do.

Ok, can we say Have a Ball!!!  

For some people I could use Starkers' rusty knife...

The knives? Smartarse!

No no no.....you're supposed to use a spoon. Ain't I learned you nuttin'?

Castration is too humane. They do that to animals. Its called neutering or being spayed. I say tying their family jewels, not the fake glass ones ut the real deal, to a string. Like this.

One very large fellow has an argument with a very small fellow. It gets a bit heated and the very large fellow bops the very small fellow on the head causing immediate brain damage. The very big fellow goes home not even thinking about his encounter with the very small fellow. Then, in the wee hours the very large fellow feels discomfort while trying to sleep. He wakes to find a very heavy weight on his chest, a mqanhole cover of all things. Now the very large fellow is also very strong so he lifts the weight off his chest and walks it over to an open window, He tosses it out. As it turns over there is a note taped to its underside. It reads: You have ten seconds to untie this from your nuts! Have a nice day.

Scientists that can't read the future in the stars. I'm appalled.

I was going to mention blunt and rusty knives, but thought better of it as didn't want to upset the professionals at the Gonad Removal Society.  But bugger 'em I say... so how about cold and rusty old butter knives with jagged edges?

So was I at first, but then it dawned on me that seismologists are unlikely to be carrying 'The Prophet's Universal Guide to Astrology: the definitive handbook for predicting cataclysmic events.'  Yup, that would have been so important at the time.  I mean, how would thy have known the difference without it, between a seismic event and what may have been hunger pangs... bellies growling because the spaghetti bog was long overdue.  Sure they could have looked up their horoscope in the daily papers, but without the handbook for predicting cataclysmic events they had absolutely no hope at all of understanding the severity of the situation

Now everyone is saying Einstein is wrong.

What da hell, is the world coming to...

And who the frick are we gonna put on trial for not emphatically warning us about that a lot sooner?

Bloody scientists!!!  Always getting it wrong... and no freakin' apologies  NOOOOO!!!

Eibstein might be dead, but he at least could have written out an apology to be read out posthumously.

And what about all these twerps with the global warming thing... are we gonna get apologies from that crowd when it's proven they're wrong?

Of course not, the bastards will blame their computer modeling software and say  the IT people are responsible for the greatest hoax in history.

So while were at it.... prosecuting Italian scientists, that is, we ought to get all these global warming/climate change imbeciles before the courts as well.

There again, bugger it!  There's more than enough evidence to dispense with that rigmaroll and just lock 'em up.  And throw away the key, I say, throw it as far as it can possibly go, I say.

Next up, I reckon we drag the Hollywood Producers before the courts.... for not warning us strongly enough about the crap they've been serving up recently

I mean, when will they learn... that no movie is better than a bad movie.... and frankly, most over the last couple of years have been bloody woeful, to say the least.

And don't think you're getting away with it, bankers.... you're next  [insert evil laugh here]

Boy...have you got issues. Lol

Done!
