What about?…
"There are plenty of other places in the world that would welcome earthquake warnings, so I'll concentrate on that," he said.Unbelievable. |

Unbelievable. This word you keep using - I do not think it means what you think it means... |

Unbelievable. Good point. |

I did originally feel a little Sorry for Ring, as no one deserves death threats.
In hindsight, and having heard the guy on Newstalk ZB down here again, I realise we were suckered in again. He was using his 'little boy lost' persona for publice sympathy then, accuse Nick Smith of threatening to have him arrested (Nick was on a few minutes earlier, and shot that one down in flames- yet staggeringly he managed to weasel out of that as well, saying a simple misunderstanding had taken place)... I don't think any media in NZ have the balls nor the inclination to look at Rings predictions properly, and let him make a fool of himself. Campbell had the chance but then blew it, giving him public sympathy. Just amazing how intimidated the media seem to be with this guy who is an expert at baffling with bullshit. |

Ring is back in the media with another prediction:
http://www.nzherald.c... Surely the Herald knows he's full of it, they only publish his crap because they know it will pull eyeballs. |

I love this stuff. What I love especially is watching people smash their beliefs against other people's beliefs to practically no effect.
Too bad about the death threats. Good for publicity though I guess. |
