Dat Tornado

I really don't understand why everyone is hating on the tornado victims. Why call them "****", Madman? What the **** did they do to you?

I guess you could say my humor is really...








...twisted.

You've got to change the way you build to match where you live dude, and they live in tornado alley. I know it's largly not their fault, I'd bet the real reason the buildings arn't up to the standard that'd survive this **** is actually cause a lot of people make money on rebuilding, and as always the poor guy is the one who gets screwed.
But **** it, why not move? half of these people have houses on wheels.

The reason why buildings (well, their framework at least) are made of wood in North America is largely due to it being an abundant resource. Wood is not only cheaper, but very flexible in terms it's usage, very reliable, and easy to replace (should something go haywire years down the road). The reason why the UK and many other island-countries have structures made out of concrete/brick/metal is because they have no trees. Its much easier (and cheaper) to manufacture artificial stone than it is to import wood from outside the country.
