I tend to disagree on what constitutes a disaster...

humans are the only "natural disaster" to happen on this planet.

Yes yes humans are horrible we've all heard it. Yet here we are on the computer asking meaningless questions and ranting about things we don't plan to do anything about.
Besides they CAN be dissaterous to the natural world, lest we forget the dinosaurs- bless their stupid little brains
Just imagine what could have been

I disagree with your decisions on what is and isn't a natural disaster.

If nature causes something that destroys stuff we need, it's a natural disaster. That includes destruction of man made property and resulting issues from that destruction.

Only to this "False society" we have made? There's nothing false about society. What does that even mean? If this is a "false society" than that suggests there is a "true society"... What's a true society?

Anyway, I agree that there are unavoidable natural occurrences which destroy both human and non-human life as well as the environment. Whether or not these are deemed disasters is subjective; if your entire family was wiped out because of a natural event I imagine you'd deem that a disaster. If you've spent your life protecting a species from extinction and their habitat is destroyed suddenly, I imagine you'd deem that a disaster. If your house is ruined by flood waters, I imagine you'd deem that a disaster.

I'm undecisive on this. The situation in a "disaster" Can be changed by the facts shown, or the cause. Yes, a forest fire can happen if it gets to warm. But, can happen if a manmade object ignites a forest. Then it becomes a manmade disaster. Some of the disasters that happen today were caused by humans.

A disaster isn't the function of a human being, but is the active incident of an accident or weather, thus natural disaters are not only existing, they're good because a derelict house you don't need while someone has money can be the upstart of building a new derelict house elsewhere, again this is good because only pleasure seekers would want beauty and charm instead of love and what truly matters in a home: books, water, food and clothes.

I don't think there's any place where people can be completely safe from natural forces, so they're not putting themselves in the way, they're simply living.

You're taking the term and spinning it entirely too literally. What people mean when they say "natural disaster" is something that happens naturally (nature related) that destroys or incredibly disrupts life. Example: earthquakes, tornadoes, hurricanes. These are a few natural disasters that, when they hit, cause a disaster (destroyed buildings, injury, death, etc)

The point that you fail to make, OP, is that "nature" has been sooo compromised by man at this point in time, that there is really nothing "natural" about a lot of the earthquakes,volcanic eruptions,tsunamis, floods, hurricanes, tornadoes, glacial ice cap melting, increase in the Northern lights display, increasing damage to the ozone layer, and so forth.

Logically, you are right. But when were other human beings ever so logical as you? When people say "natural disaster", it should mean exactly what you say and, as such, it'd be a nonsense.

I think there's a subtlety that you're missing and it's a subtlety which highlights the utter self-obsession humanity fosters. We pick and choose whether words apply to us. In the phrase "natural disaster" we choose the word disaster to imply us only (poor us) and we choose natural as the perpetrator (evil nature). Howaminotmyself was very subtle in pointing this out (probably too subtle for most) and she did what I often do and turned it on its head (i.e. humans being a disaster for nature).

You have no idea how much I wish I could draw out a simple truth table to illustrate this, because everyone is right. We all just chose a different box on the 2x2 truth table. I'd be weirded out if anyone posted and chose the last remaining box which implies nature is being evil to itself, though. It's true, but very strange for a human to consider because we're a bit too self-involved.

Also, I didn't explain this well. I really need to draw a diagram.

It isn't a disaster in and of itself. It creates disruption to our way of life. It happens. How we choose to live with the reality of these forces can be disasterous. Humans often forget that we can be a "natural disaster" to the earth itself.

it causes a human disaster. but were not going to say "flood which caused human disaster."
