We need to explore the "putting your finger in a dyke" angle, but I can't think of a good one.

Where it occurred has nothing to do with it. God, if we quit finding humor in this crazy world, we're really lost.

It IS horrible. I feel badly that it happened. I'm glad it didn't happen to me, or around here.

Besides, humans anywhere suck. Humans caused it. I feel worse for the goats than I do for the humans. (Should this be in the unpopular opinions thread?)

Between humor and apathy, I'll take humor every time.

Perhaps you should consider something along the lines of "wrong hole" or "bad place, good thing", "we're gonna need a bigger finger", etc. But forgive me if I don't wait around for the results.

The Hamas movement, the leading partner in a newly formed Palestinian unity government, blamed the disaster on a foreign aid boycott slapped on the Palestinian Authority a year ago when the Islamist hardliners first came to power.

For once it's not Israel's fault, this time you are all to blame.

I'm surprised Shel didn't think of this first.

I know I would. While what happened is terrible, I can't help but find humor in the worst situations...including 9/11. Sometimes, it's all we have.

Idiots? Nah, people struggling to make enough money to feed their families in a country whose economy and infrastructure has all but collapsed.

Maybe, as Forrest Gump's Mama said, "Stupid is as stupid does."
IE if your actions cause sewage flood that destroys your village (the same one where your struggling, hungry family lives) then you are an idiot.

Ouch! I doubt these people do have access to free birth control, but I've known enough women desperate to conceive to realise the urge is pretty powerful. Certainly stronger than the urge to eat/ smoke/ drink ourselves to death, which we defend in the West.
