Exactly, I'm kinda tired of hearing people screaming earthquakes without looking at facts.
2012 One of the quietest years for earthquakes in over a decade. Earthquakes are like rain, sometimes we get a lot at a time, other times we don't
get any for a period of time

Sorry this is not a doom and gloom thread and before I read another post saying "OMG we are getting so many earthquakes lately" lets look at some
facts.
Below is a link to a chart of all 5.0-9.9 earthquakes since 2000 and it looks like in 2012 we had the least amount of 6.0-6.9 earthquakes in over a
decade. I know we still have 2 months to go, but if you annualize the 2012 6.0-6.9 earthquakes you will get 109 earthquakes, the next lowest would be
2001 with 121 earthquakes. So this make 2012 the year with the least amount of 6.0-6.9 earthquakes. As far as other magnitudes, 5.0-5.9 we are about
200 below average, the average is 1655 and we are at 1455(annualized). For magnitudes 7-9.9 were are right at average. And the combined total number
of earthquakes magnitude 5.0-9.9, average is 1819 and right now we are at 1579(annualized) so we are 240 average.

I bet if we took 20 ATS members and have them start posting new earthquake threads, people would think the we are getting a lot of earthquakes. This
is also how the MSM works, if they want the public to have a certain perception of something, they just fill the networks with that information and
people buy into it. A perfect example of this is why Romney is winning the presidential race over Ron Paul, even though Ron Paul had a lot more
intentions to help the 99%ers and Romney's main concern is the 1%ers that helped sponsor his campaign. Romney stated that he pretty much doesn't
care for 47% of the population, even though it's probably closer 99% of the population and look how far he got. I see Romney/Ryan bumper
stickers almost everyday on the cars of people who probably fall into the 47% that Romney doesn't give a crap about... this just shows you how
brainwashed people are by the MSM.
Just wanted to point out some facts.
