[QUOTE="Jesus_Bush, post: 18017, member: 275"] [b]100,000 dead[/b] I do not mean to in any way minimize the situation in Indonesia. Yes, it was terrible and it was a bad thing that anyone had to die, but where are these exponentially increasing numbers coming from? I mean, after the first day, it was estimated that thousands had likely died. Then it was 15k, 40k, 85k, and then 100k plus in very rapid succession, as though there were that many bodies laying around to be counted as they estimate crowds at 4th of July festivities on the Mall in Wash, DC. They couldn't possibly have located and counted that many corpses yet, so this must be an estimate.But usually when the disaster folks make these kinds of estimates, they are inflated. An earthquake in Afghanistan kills an estimated 12k, but it ends up being 850+/-. Do these people inflate these numbers intentionally to numb people into dialing numbers with glazed over eyes and giving money to the cause for no other reason than the "holy s**t!" factor? I'm nervous that too many kind hearted folks will give hand over fist to a cause that, though noble and worthy of commendation, may or may not be as extreme as it claims to be.
