My point is that the tidal forces that are tearing up Europa and Ganymede are far less than those at work on Io. Io is well-known for its non-stop volcanic activity over the whole surface due to the fact that Jupiter's bending it completely out of shape. It would be like talking to a guy who'd just had all his limbs amputated and saying "oh, look at that poor fellow over there w/ the paper cut".

If I saw that guy, I'd offer him a Band-Aid. It would be funny. You know it would. Admit it.
