Hey!

No fair.
I thought your title meant it happened!

And a load of spam.... but here's a hint, we really don't care about cali much. So there's no love lost if it all slides off into the sunset.

Now I'm off to Burger King for the two fer $6 Wopper deal....

I could have told you that cos I've got a white coat so I must be a scientist.

So omitting the pertinent word in the title of the sourced article?

Classy

The only thing misleading is the interpretation of the headline When you read the op you'll see it about an article in the LA times this goes to show what social media does to an audience that has been programed for an instant Conclusion without discernment and critical thinking Never Judge A book by its cover i think the saying goes??

Think for yourselves ! Keep calm and read the article before jumping to conclusions.

Pfffft

Wow dude... that's really cold.

If you were in front of me, you would have received a slap across the face. Cause I have loads of friends in LA and you just made me gulp.

And a second one, due to you defending the title...

Sc*mbag...

p.s. mods, delete this post if required, don't mind one bit... as long as this a**hat sees it

You are a known doom-porn spreader, and you are told in the Ts&Cs to use the title of the article if you are basing an OP on one, which is: "California could be hit by an 8.2 mega-earthquake, and it would be catastrophic."

Don't tell us to keep calm and not jump to conclusions when you intentionally misrepresent the article and claim in your OP by being misleading with the wording.

Communication skills matter, and when EVERYONE commenting came to the same conclusion, I'm willing to bet that it isn't our interpretation that is the problem.

Doom porn is silly anyways, but since I have family in California, your crap headline caused me concern.

I got all excited thinking it finally happened, CA finally broke in half and slipped into the sea.
Tease!

"Never judge a book by it's cover"...then why change it's cover by omitting the most important word?

This is BS clickbait. Bad form.

Dbl post

Everyone is SO wrapped and hanging on every word out of Washington DC it's nice to see you break away from your daily programming only to find the word COULD and IF

So remember this for the rest of you life: Keep Calm and Read On, THEN Conclude, Pass Judgement, Decide your position.

I rushed putting on the tv and I was like weird I was just thinking for some reason about earthquake proofing my house, if that is possible.

not cool

There are things that you can do like reinforcing wooden joists with metal joist L, X and T sections. You can also make sure that every piece of furniture like cupboards, drawers and wardrobes are secured to walls. Not forgetting flatscreen televisions and monitors. Just make sure that when someone shakes your house like a tin box, the contents don't rattle around.

That is not the first time I heard someone say that. I always think to myself sure people but what about kids... geez

Earthquake? Small potatoes, man. An asteroid the size of the dinosaur K/T extinction could hit us ANY TIME and kill us all, not just California. I think you need to up your game a little.

I was thinking more of starting over completely and build a underground house. lol

P.S. who gave him a star...

I'm truly sorry for giving a scare to you and yours BUT DO you really believe every thing you see and read on the internet instantly??

Ya'll will have to be more discerning that that This is ATS a CONSPIRACY website NOT MSM......

Title Corrected- Does it make a difference?
