9.0 earthquake leads to Tsunami and crazy fuckery in Japan - Page 9

Not to mention that Japan is one of the world's biggest debtors and if/when they default on payments, particularly after pumping many more billions to stabilize their currency, the world economy will suffer. Japan will suffer more though, facing national bankruptcy.

I suppose you're right from the economy side of things, I just don't value money over humans. Except stupid ones like these:

Some people deserve what they get...yeah, I said it.

Yeah, because everyone who lived in haiti and new orleans were all adults who were fully capable of leaving and had the means to leave whenever they wanted. All those fucktards in haiti should pick better places to live and better building materials to use, since I'm sure they have plenty of choices in the matter. All those little kids who die should have been more responsible. Everyone has the ability to afford to move, find a new job, etc. whenever they want. It's totally rational and cool to say that people deserve to die because they are poor, born in a shitty place, etc.

I agree manta, the ignorance of some Americans is astounding.

QFT.

On Japan, worldwide - it has a larger effect than Haiti. (I'm not sure who said it) Haiti was more of a humanitarian issue.

Sensei-Q · 03-18-2011, 06:31 PM

Either the Western media is blowing things out of proportion, or Japan used a lot of sugar coating.

In terms of building materials, I'd agree they have financial limitations. That can't be helped. In terms of location, you can't seriously be arguing that their aren't better places to build. The 10 largest cities in Haiti are built along the coastline for a reason. Mainly for the options of trade and their fishing industry. Regardless they should be aware of the risk of living in such places, and be ready to accept it for the gain that they get...or just not take the risk to begin with. Given that Haiti has been hit by 9 hurricanes in the last 10 years, I'd go with the later.

No, but their parents should be.

The thing is, they have to do all that anyway, whether they like it or not, whenever a hurricane comes (almost yearly) and wrecks their shit. Why not rebuild some place that is less likely to get wrecked the next time it happens. Seems sensible to me.

Sorry, but I don't buy into the "product of my environment" excuse. Just because someone is born in a shitty place doesn't mean they are restricted to that place for the rest of their lives. In fact the single biggest boost to the Haitian economy is Remittances, so apparently a bunch of people are leaving that country for jobs overseas. See mibs, even mudhutters can man up sometimes. So instead of giving those people our pity (and money) so they can go back to the way they are, perhaps it would be better to tell them to man up and become better or just get use to the shitty lives they're living and stop complaining about it.

Edit: I do feel sorry for the kids over there going through that shit. Well, anybody (elderly, handicaps, etc) that honestly can't help themselves. I'm not completely heartless.

Quoted for irony.

Oh, there are definitely better places to live. Do I think all the people who live in mudhuts have the means to relocate? I would assume not.

Why not just live in the goddamn sky? Seems like a better place to live then on the shit side of an island in some mudhut, amirite? Some things are easier said than done. I highly doubt the majority of people getting their shit ruined are going "Yeah, I could move, but I really like the view here." Does that seem sensible to you? Or would it seem more sensible to think that maybe a lot of those people don't like dying and living in shitty conditions, but don't have that many options available to them?

Yeah, because everyone can succeed if they try, right? Every single person in America could be a millionaire and live in a goddamn mansion if they would just work harder. Every single haitian mudhutter could relocate and find a employment elsewhere. Since there is an infinite amount of jobs and everything.

Of course not, Mibs. I don't know that it is even insulting towards NN, who I think was agreeing with you. Just that he used QTF on your statement, which was highly sarcastic... unless of course you were serious... then... uh... yeah.

**Miburo** · 03-19-2011, 01:47 PM

Oh. Jesus fuck. I'm losing it.

Yeah, I was agreeing with what he said. Or what was behind his sarcastic comment.

ninjalostboy95 · 03-19-2011, 02:41 PM

I'm a really slow person but can someone tell me what QFT means?

@AmA: Haiti is poor for a reason. They barely have any resources to fulfill human necessities and keep their economy good hence why the poverty rate is high and they're the poorest country. You sound like an insensitive douche from what I'm reading. Just like those people who say Japan deserved the earthquakes and Tsunami and all the other stuff for Pearl Harbor.

I donated $20 to Japan though. =)

At first I thought it was "Quite fucking true" :S
