[Mumma]

you ppple are so pessimistic.

dude, 14,000+ are dead

 

[wanton-wonton]

im not saying this had anything to do with the kyoto protocal....but it's a great example of the things that can happen if something is not done about global warming

It's an earthquake you fucking idiot, how would it have anything to do with global warming. Fuck me dead you are even more stupid than berry.

 

[wanton-wonton]

god dammit im not saying this was caused by global warming but its an example of what kind of damage can result.

Great fucking way of backtracking.

you ppple are so pessimistic.

btw im sure the 11000+ dead ppl and their families are all looking on the bright side.......OF WAT U FUKWIT

 

[soha]

its really sad
most of the people dead is the kids and the elderly
because they cant swim
unlike a young man and women who can
i saw pictures of all the dead childrens bodies lined up
but what can ya do..no one to blame...really...
people were making jokes saying ..it was a "terrorist attack"..that was lame..
im going to donate money to the red cross donation line..i hope heaps of other peopel do too
coz it could even happen to us..

 

[Cape]

coz it could even happen to us..

scientifically it would be very very unlikely it would actually happen to us. The worst tsunami that we have ever had was about 30cm high.

Meanwhile hundreds of thousands lie dead in africa but we're doing nothing...

By the way Cape... Global Warming is going to happen so get over it, all the people on the Maldives currently living there will be dead by then anyway so maybe we should come up with a cure for death first.

 

[soha]

no..jou jou is the muslim convert
im just a muslim...and im not a guy im a girl
30 cm..thats like a ruler..lol
neways..i still think it can happen...and dont say it wont happen because then it just might come back at you and it will happen
but god willing it wont..

 

[tattoodguy]

god dam muslim jks.

Exactly what I was about to say.

I used to think people's reaction to various world events directly corresponded to the hype given by the media. That's clearly not the case though. You have a look at the African case, and now the tsunami's. We all know there's been more deaths in the former case, yet the reaction is 10-fold for the latter. Rather than the media, the only thing that the general public really care about is in/stability-i.e peaks and troughs. While there's consistency in the deaths in Africa, there are no noticeable peaks in the amount of deaths. It's relatively even. Which is of course completely opposite to what happened with the tsunami.

I might seem cynical but this whole show of support seems based on emotion/sentiment rather than any motivation to aid the world in this and similar problems. If that weren't the case, people would have a minute of silence every single day for all those victims of starvation and disease in Africa. One thing is certain: For every penny/aid worker that aids in every person saved at the scene of this tsunami, there exists one less penny/aid worker for the sufferers in Africa.
