Because reality does not match the picture they paint for us?
If you're referencing my not yet experienced the Milky Way comments, I do know that it's right there in front of me because we live in the middle of this galaxy. I just haven't seen the formation that I want to see. Reality is always better than what gets painted.2 -

Yes because there was never an earthquake before fracking. lol
The findings of the Unites States Geological Survey, under "induced eartquakes."
"Between the years 1973–2008, there was an average of 21 earthquakes of magnitude three and larger in the central and eastern United States. This rate has ballooned to over 600 M3+ earthquakes in 2014 and over 1000 in 2015. Through August 2016, over 500 M3+ earthquakes have occurred in 2016."

They don't blame it on fracking, they blame it on injected wastewater, some of which is done during fracking.0 -

It is interesting!
I guess because it's so much closer than the sun? (Albeit much smaller). Cool page though
Look what I just found. MARSQUAKES!!! All caps is excitement, not yelling at the top of my lungs in anger about earthquakes.

Now we're getting philosophical. It depends what you mean by "reality." If reality is what you can see with your eyes and nothing else, then it's exactly this. People are showing you something, but it's not reality. On the other hand, if your eyes are one way to perceive reality among many, then that's why.
It's like waterfall photos. They look smooth and silky, but waterfalls look rough and frothy. Which one is "correct?" They both are, on different time scales.
In reality with dark skies, the Milky Way is plenty visible to the naked eye, but human eyes are less sensitive than a good camera with a good lens.0 -

So what you are saying is that even if we stop fracking, we will continue to have earthquakes right? Also, would you agree that earthquakes occurred before fracking?
EDIT: Even the site you quoted that from states that it is a myth. You can pick and choose what information you choose to support an argument. Because that's well...psuedo-science. Wastewater disposal occurs even with regular oil production so stopping fracking won't do a damn thing.
https://earthquake.usgs.gov/research/induced/myths.php
First, please note that I did say that matter of fact, here is me quoting myself (did you read that part?)
"They don't blame it on fracking, they blame it on injected wastewater, some of which is done during fracking."
The point is, wastewater injection happens during fracking. If they stop fracking, they reduce the wastewater injection. Makes sense?
In addition, yet another quote:
Hydraulic fracturing drives earthquakes in western Canada, according to research published Thursday in Science. The results defy the often-touted belief that the disposal of wastewater is the sole source of man-made earthquakes with fossil fuel extraction technique.
The small earthquakes “were always during or right after fracking, and they’re also confined to a limited area,” University of Calgary geophysicist, and co-author of the research paper David Eaton told NewsHour. Before fracking, the sparsely populated area in Alberta, Canada did not have a history of seismic activity."

Even if we stopped fracking there would still be earthquakes so it's a completely moot point. Earthquakes occurred long before fracking, they will continue to occur long after fracking. Do you disagree with this statement?
We focused on different things.
In the post, they also stated, "It's also interesting that people studying this stuff think there could be a correlation between tidal distress, the moon and triggering of earthquakes.
Eathquakes did occur before fracking and would still occur after it. I agree with that statement.
Going from 21 to 1000 magnitude 3 or higher earthquakes is a huge jump. That's more than a 4700% increase in just a few years. So if they stopped inducing earthquakes through fracking and wastewater injection, people would have to deal with a lot less earthquakes, would you agree?2 -

But fracking seams to cause moar earthquakes. Like how there are car crashes, but drunk people driving cars makes it worse. Or like how any one of us could get killed any minute from a grand piano falling out of the sky, but it's especially dangerous at a piano toss. Anyway, making things less dangerous is usually good, that's why you don't juggle cats.3 -

No I don't agree. You posted two sites that basically contradict each other. One says fracking is not the cause, the other says it is. So I guess it depends on which one you believe but until it is proven to me otherwise, it's just a bunch of psuedo-science.
Both agree humans trigger earthquakes, and the process involved in fracking induces them. One says the matter is the wastewater used, the other says it's both the wastewater used and the fracking itself.
Either way, this is man-made, induced earthquakes. If we stopped inducing them, there would be less earthquakes.
But you don't see that and that's okay. I realize people's perception is different.

That's cool. I just read that a German astronomer wanted it changed for conformity reasons. So if Herschel discovered the planet and named it, how come it got renamed? Did he consent to the change or have no control over it? My first thought was because it had the word star in it.
It would be nice to have had better name than uranus. Didn’t they think about kids in fifth grade learning this?

I would just like to clarify with my use of the word triggering. I did not mean with man made earthquakes. I was talking about the moons influence on the tides and natural occurring earthquakes. Fracking for petroleum wasn't even a thought.
Boom! Moot point.
