Oh ya 100%. I didn't mean to imply that there was anything corrupt or malicious about the fact we didn't consider it until a couple of decades ago. Just that a lot of buildings in the PNW are not ready for an 8+ magnitude earthquake.

Yup, we just have to hope it releases as a series of mid-level earthquakes instead of a single catastrophic event.

Yup, and we've only really been building with earthquakes in mind since the late 80s. So things will be pretty catastrophic if/when it hits.

Ok sure but guns kill 2 million people a year. So that math just doesn't check out.
See how easy it is to just make shit up?

Eh, I'd be perfectly fine with imprisoning wealthy people who splash out for their kids. It's just one of those behaviors, like kicking a puppy, that screams "I'm a garbage person and society as a whole would be better off without me!".

It might be, depending on the mineral rights laws where you live.

Happens in the states too. There was that little Affluenza asshole that ran over a bunch of people.

Number of stab wounds probably. You don't stab someone 50 times unless you're really pissed at them.

Plant or animal, it is fundamentally immoral that we have to end life to sustain life. Is the level of that immorality set by how closely a living thing is to human? Perhaps, but that does appear a bit of an arbitrary metric to judge by.
