How can we handle not one but TWO disasters at once?

First Hurricane Katrina, and now an earthquake in Pakistan. How can we handle not one but TWO horrible disasters at once?

managed to fight a war in asia and in europe 60 years ago. shouldn't be a problem.

Two? Don't forget the war in Iraq and the hurricane in Guatemala.

Hey, hold on a second, that's only the stuff in the news. Not like those are the only disasters in the world. Cause the whole world is one big disaster! Those just happened to kill a lot of people in a short period of time, and seem more shocking than the fact a whole continent is agonizing.

Actually, you forgot Rita, too.

So aren't we on like 5 disasters? 6 if you count Afghanistan?

Then there are ongoing things like Sudan and African AIDS, poor kids in the third world losing fingers making gucci handbags, Lack of medicine in many countries.

How many disasters can we take?

I don't know but it is getting to the point where I say 'It is not our problem. Deal with it yourselfs'

**Cloud No.9** · 10-12-2005, 05:59 PM

that's right ed we should tell them that.

niger magic yourself up some food.
pakistan go find some diggers in your garage.
africa cure yourself of aids.
sudanese people stop dying for once.
zimbabweans just stop being persecuted.

those damn foreigners never listen.

**edczxcvbnm** · 10-12-2005, 06:04 PM

When you put it that way it doesn't sound so bad any more. The immediate countries around those should be the ones to lend the most aid. Not Europe and not the United States.

**Cloud No.9** · 10-12-2005, 06:12 PM

yeah cos zambia, nigeria and the ivory coast should be the ones niger. cos they have loads of money to help.

and uzbekistan should be loaning afghanistan diggers.

rwanda should be stepping into sudan and uganda.

south africa should be ousting mugawbe.

**edczxcvbnm** · 10-12-2005, 06:21 PM

Yep. They have to learn to work together in a time of disaster. They need to help each other out. If their neighboring countries don't give a

then why should we...a place half way around the world with nothing to gain but critisim? If they spent any time trying to make their countries better instead of oppressing minorities with violence they would be better off. They need to get their

in order and they only ones that can do it is them. I would set a time limit on them all for aid at this point. If they can't get to some certain level by X time then tough

for them in the future.

while were at it we should stick to isolationism and watch the world go down the drain

You forgot Rita.

To stick to something you first have to actually do it. We should give it a shot and see how the rest of the world manages again. I would hope by now that Europe would at least not smurf up and start another massive war.

My friend called me the other day. I'm glad to hear he is ok. But his whole village is gone. He was the only survivor.

So yeah he came to the states to crash at my place for a few months until he can get on his feet. Yeah he lived in Guatemala.

I'm an asshole, but hey its me.

So "how can we handle two disasters at once?", I don't think we are suppose to. As the top species on the food ladder, Nature has her way of balancing out the human population (that is if we don't kill enough of each other first). Plus the way I see it, hopefully these natural disasters are weeding out the stupid people of the world. Now I understand that many of you have friends and family that were devastated by the events, and make it known that I'm not calling anyone stupid in particular cause I believe the entire human race to be composed mostly of idiots.

Here's why I don't have sympathy. These people chose to live in an area where natural disasters are common events. If you chose, once again IF YOU CHOSE, to live in one of these areas then you inexplictly accept the possibility that your life might be swept out from under you one day. Sure its a terrible thing and sure I wouldn't wish it upon anyone, but don't complain when it happens. If you didn't want your house to be blown away by 120mph winds then don't build it next to Gulf where 120mph winds are likely during hurricane season.

The same applies to people who live in Tornado alley, for you foreigners this is known as Kansas.

Once again, I'm a cold heartless bastard but hey that's me.

**edczxcvbnm** · 10-14-2005, 03:27 PM

Tornado Ally extents further north, east and south from Kansas. While Kansas does get it hit is far from the worst which is Oklahoma and Texas.
