		<description>All that you have mentioned have their roots in man and MAN's decisions.  Neither nature nor God will lift a hand to harm us.  We do that on our own by choosing to live where we know Earthquakes, tornadoes and the like are.  Gas prices we can resolve by building our OWN refineries and drilling for oil in the US.  WE can change that.  WE are sophisticated enough that we can do it without harming the environment!  WE can say we will no longer be politically correct because we don't want to step on the toes of others.  As we do that we give up our freedoms ourselves.  One by one!  As for food and stamps, we can be self sufficient.  Where is the fighting pioneer spirit that helped build this country?  No, God is NOT punishing us.  We are doing it all to ourselves.</description>

		<description>God has his hands full with all the intergalactic wars caused by the countless alien races... why do you think he gave us free will? He didn't have time to waste on us, trust me. If any kind of shit is hitting the fan... it's probably due to our own short comings.</description>

		<description>No. We are punishing ourselves. First, the bad weather can't be helped.  We have no control of the elements, but we do have control on how to protect the people properly from these fierce elements. Unfortunately, due to corruption, greed, politics, etc., many suffer unnecessarily.  Same goes with the gas prices, food prices, etc.  The system established by all of us, is what's causing much misery in the world.  So, it's not God's fault.  He's just letting us run our affairs to prove that in the end, we really do need His guidance.</description>

		<description>19.5 gallons of gasoline out of a 42 gallon barrel of crude.  Even at $4/gallon, they're not making anything.  Why do it?  Because they make a lot off of the other products!

Which brings us to, why soak average and low income Americans trying to make ends meet, while you pay monstrous salaries and retirement packages to a few CEOs to diminish your true profit margins?

We really want to know.  Why are the oil companies putting the whole bill on our backs and why is this administration and this congress doing NOTHING to stop them?

Europe?  Pays very high fuel tax, while we pay a piddling amount.  Want to know the difference when our fuel prices go up?  Their taxes go into infrastructure (roads, transport, maintenance, bridges, etc.).  When our prices go up, it goes into some CEO's pocket or some undeserving SOB's retirement package.  And, much of it ultimately to that company's senatorial, congressional or party sponsor's war chest.</description>

		<description>It is not just in America that sin and immorality are prevalent. Over in Asia, Singapore specifically, immorality is on the rise too. There are social clubs recently in Singapore for couples to exchange partners just for sex.

Divorce is on the rise in Singapore. Suicides are on the rise in Japan. 

In Singapore, it is not uncommon to hear about pre marital sex and casual sex.  

HIV cases are on the rise in China because of casual sex.

People in Singapore are generally repungant of the word &#34;God&#34;, because money and materialism have taken over our lives.

I believe all these immorality has a consequence.</description>
