What an awful question.

If a city got leveled by an earthquake, I'm sure plenty of people would go along with it. Not funny.

I was upset that the event which didn't cause any major damage and had NO reported injuries, recieved hours of coverage on CNN. Must've been a slow news day I guess. But yes, to be honest, I'd like to see LA get off it's high horse.

I hate the city of St. Louis; and I would NEVER wish it to be destroyed by the New Madrid popping a monster earthquake. I do not hate L.A.; but I certainly would not wish a monster earthquake on them either.

That has to be the most useless question ever asked. Is there anyone who truly feels that "sure...I wish an earthquake would just wipe LA off the map and kill a few million people"?

If anyone answers yes to this question and actually feels that way...please go to the nearest hospital at once and seek medical care.

I defintely dont wish it on LA, but i think there will be a massive earthquake in LA during my lifetime. I watched lots of earthquake specials and there is a consensus that there will be a "big one" earthquake in Los Angeles. I dont wish it but i think it WILL happen.

What an absolutely stupid question. Why is this still open?


I'm not a huge fan, but that doesn't mean I want an urban area of 17 million people to be destroyed. Not to mention it would decimate the economy of our entire country.

The only thing that would come out of something like that would be for Chicago to be #2 Population wise.

But in the end who could wish death upon people, and having there lives destroyed, NOT ME!!!
