Bad question to ask this time of year. It is so darn hot outside I think it might just be. But there will be a time that I am no longer on this earth. Therefore this earth is not eternity. The concept of hell is based on eternity. So I think that it might not be. Sorry.

People say that to emphasize the worst conditions prevailing here .The truth is that no body has seen a Hell and only imagine that it should be worst place of all.Earth is what we experience of it .For most,it's just a habitat and for others it is Heaven or a Hell.

No - The Bible describes hell:
Luke 16:22-24 uses a parable to describe hell: "The time came when the beggar died and the angels carried him to Abraham's side. The rich man also died and was buried. In hell, where he was in torment, he looked up and saw Abraham far away, with Lazarus by his side. So he called to him, 'Father Abraham, have pity on me and send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, because I am in agony in this fire.'"
Mark 9:46 describes hell as: "Their worm does not die and the fire is not quenched."
Revelation 19:20 talks about the fiery lake: "But the beast was captured, and with him the false prophet who had performed the miraculous signs on his behalf. With these signs he had deluded those who had received the mark of the beast and worshiped his image. The two of them were thrown alive into the fiery lake of burning sulfur."

It is probably an expresion, the earth is what us humans make of it. But be sure of one thing, there is a hell worse than all the evil that has ever been in the world.

By no means. On earth you may be spiritually separated from God (and thus seek to make created things your "god"), but you can still enjoy His creation. Just the fact that you can take a drink of water reveals you are not in Hell. Hell is where you go for choosing sin over righteousness, and rejecting God's salvation, and after the judgment and your sentencing you will go to the lake of fire to realize the exact degree of punishment. This is a place where you are not only separated for God and the multitudes rejoicing forever in God's presence, but you are deprived of anything positive, including all the things you lusted after in your idolatry, while experiencing the negative consequences of your sins! Don't go there!
Jesus, while on earth, warned us that we should rather choose to cut off our arm if it caused us to sin rather than "to go into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched" (Mk. 9:43-48). He further spoke of Hell as a future place one goes to after death (Lk. 16:19-31), a real place just as real as Heaven, a place of weeping, wailing and gnashing of teeth (Mt. 8:12; 13:42), and of the everlasting punishment of the lake of fire (Mt. 25:41, 46).
Then He took responsibility for all our sins, and paying for them with His own sinless blood by His death on the cross. Praise the Lord! And being risen, He now reigns in Heaven as man's present Savior and future Judge. What you do with Jesus - whether you accept Him or reject Him - reveals what you really love - darkness or light, sin or Him - and determines where you will spend eternity!
(Acts 3:19) "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord;"
(1 Pet 3:18) "For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit:"

No. Hell is a very real place nowhere where we can see. Hell is not a place where we go to party and drink and smoke. It is a place where unbeleivers go after they die. They burn there for eternity, it is so dark that you can not see your hand in front of you, you can not even see the flames. Every person gets a choice, a very simple choice. Heaven or Hell?

I don't think its hell I think its like an amplifier that you get more then you put into it so what ever you do you get that much more back in a good or bad way either in heaven or hell when you die.
