Kendoboy: I've donated as much money as I could afford to charity for helping those really in need in Asia.
The whole entire world stopped right in its track's when around 3000 people died in the WTC incident.
How is 3000 people dying worse than over 100 thousand people dying and homes and cities destroyed! Asia is a place that is very short for cash, this disaster absoloutly kills their economy making very hard for them ever to be the same again.
This is only the start, usually after such a disaster, usually another 75% of the names on the original death list is added on due to death by diseases' and lack of food.
Kendoboy, its not about the Aid, its about the respect!
If every city in the world just had one minutes silence just before the fireworks in rememberance for those who have died in the massive Tsunami that hit Asia would be more than enough.
EDIT:
KayJay: Ignorance in such a thing does not create happiness, it creates guilt, nothing more.
Tanikaze: No one to blame? You could blame all the war and poverty happening withen Asia costing them a huge amount of money, this money which could of been used to help for Tsunami detection.
It's not like it was Earquake then bam! Tsunami instantly, there was a large delay.
I am an Australian aswell, I live in Brisbane, and I have plans for New Years at Southbank.
How is it any different from the Columbine school shootings, or September 11th?
