Yeah, you - the one that couldn't "deal with" me politely requesting you from dropping "unrelated" allover my thread.


Sorry, your post struck me as rude and if not intended I apologize.I would prefer not to get into a arguement with a senior member.I found no politeness in your post but i admit I may have taken it wrong.

I have always been afraid of something like that happening here. I live on the West Coast and they predict that it will happen like that here some time in the near future. It happened once in the 1700's and it was pretty bad. I dunno. Natural disasters happen for a reason but they frighten the hell out of me. When I was looking at all the pictures last night, all I could do was cry. So many children. One third of the death toll was little kids. That kills me. Now the death toll is over 70,000 and they expect it to double. Ugh. Horrible.

No they don't. That's the point.
Forget all your Human reasoning. It's the Earth.
It has NOTHING to do with Man.
It's being doing things like this for millions of years and we just happen to be in the way now.
Forget all this very Human. clutching at some kind of logic, reasoning.

There was no 'reason' for it, there was no stopping it, nothing and nobody could have changed anything and if mankind had not been here it would have happened anyway (as it has been since the World existed).

This is an act of Nature. Man and his bullshit hang-ups, Gods and 'there has to be an answer' thinking is of no importance or validity.

I agree 100% and that was the point of my NIN quote, some people can't grasp this reality.

Last I heard, the bodycount was at 26,000 and climbing, throughout India, Thailand and Sri Lanka.

Families torn from eachother by the raging water, tens of thousands killed (and I don't think they've even found half the bodies yet), and literally millions left homeless, in countries that are already poor, and heavily relied upon tourism to make a living.
This is very bad for these countries, and could be the beggining of a downward spiral if they do not receive the help they are in need of.

I actually have a friend in Sri Lanka, and it's so messed up over there that I haven't been able to find out much, at this point, I can only hope that they're ok.

Anyway, just thought I'd do my bit...there's a few charity organisations over HERE working to send what releif they can.
I'm sure there's some operating everywhere...
So, folks...whether or not you have friends or family from any of the effected areas, or hey, even if you've at some point just enjoyed a thai or indian curry, or enjoyed a holiday under the excellent hospitality they offer in these countries....if you can throw a few bucks over their way, I'm sure that even though you'll never get the personal thanks you deserve - you'd be helping someone who's just lived through worse than most of us will (hopefully) ever have to.

I'M POSTING THIS HERE AND IN "EVENTS & HAPPENINGS", as I want everyone to see it.
Apologies if you've read it twice because of this.

I reallt don't give a 2 fucks

ChEEbA 12-29-2004 05:01 PM

I would've just said "2 fucks" rather than "?a 2 fucks?"
Then again, If I didn't give even one fuck, I probably wouldn't have posted, or most likely even read this thread...but hey, that's just my CRAZY way of doing things.

...And it's those bodies that are gonna start causing problems before long. Personally, I still don't think they've found more than 3/5 of the bodies yet anyway...
Some are saying that the headcount that starvation, and carrion related disease will take out could well be more than the initial drowning/battering deaths (and then there's more bodies...etc...etc), think about it, THAT many dead bodies...there's not enough people to (for lack of a better way to put this) clean it up quickly enough...and then there's the whole water contamination issue, there was a lot of filthy water in these countries, it's now allover the place...
They'll be very lucky if the initial disaster turns out to be the worst of what has happened.
Still trying to find out about my friend, it's very hard with all the confusion, and all the little sub-locations of these countries...

Shut up.

And if you really don't care about this in any way at all...at least care about posting such attention seeking drivel in English and not badly spelt text speak.

If what you posted does not show you up...the way you did it most certainly does.

"Ode to a moro......................" You finish it.

I second this. Well said.

ChEEbA 12-30-2004 04:15 AM

Well, it would kinda be "3rd" rather than second, but...I guess I was trying to keep it polite.
Agreed - Uncool...
