    They reckon a good old fashioned war is good for the world economy and would help to slowdown the overpopulation thats occurring.

    Yeah?
    the Irish warrior Fionn mac Cumhaill (Finn McCool) built the causeway to walk to Scotland to fight his Scottish counterpart Benandonner.

    From Wikipedia

    Giant's Causeway.

    not 'The Volcanic Causeway'

    It'd certainly shake up the property market.

    considering how this country deals with a bit of rain and a bit of snow, can you imagine what an earthquake would do? :rolleyes:

    I like your pun but it's bitter sweet because nobody noticed my one on page two and this is a shameless attempt at drawing attention to it and I haven't used nearly enough punctuation in this sentence.

    What about all the aid we would receive? There was enough money gathered for Haiti that they could have rebuilt it 3 times over.

    No it would not be good for the economy, the now third biggest economy Japan has had stagnant growth since the Kobe earthquake now because of the recent earthquake Japan expects negative growth.

    That's a shame, you seem quite shook up about it.
