I think Crimson_skies may be the biggest retard I have ever seen in my life.
Yea, the wave was bad, and I do mourn, but they didn't care about 9/11, the way I see it, I scratch your back, you scratch mine. It's sad to see a human get whiped out about that, but they knew about it 4 hours ahead of time(atleast I think), they should have did something about it.
I Think it's cool how we are chipping in and everything, and I have no problem. I don't watch the news so they can talk about it all they want.
A lot of people did care about 9/11 actually, and as mentioned before, 9/11 as bad as it was, was not a natural disaster, so the whole I scratch your back, you scratch mine is out the window.
Also, no, they did not know 4 hours ahead of time. US seismologists (sp?) detected an earthquake some hours before somewhere in the ocean, but never bothered to inform anyone. Do you honestly think tourists in Thailand would have still been swimming in the ocean and laying on the beach, knowing there is a huge tsunami coming?
Granted, the areas that were hit worst were not tourist areas, but instead very poor countries (Indonesia, Sri Lanka) but maybe it will concern some of you people a bit more if you know that some of your own countrymen died in that disaster as well while spending their vacation down there.
I am rather disappointed that some people on here have no regards for human life unless it is that of someone they know/love personally. I am not saying go and donate money you don't have, you don't even have to donate at all, but for crying out loud, do show some sympathy for those people. Spend a day in the shoes of a mother who has lost her child, or a child that has lost his/her whole family down there and is fighting for plain survival, then tell me you still don't care. It doesn't matter what nationality they are, what faith they believe in, their pain and suffering is still the same as ours would be.
