Nalukai Posted December 29, 2004 Share Posted December 29, 2004 I think each and every single person that reads this needs to tip a hat or pour a brew out for the 60 thousand + that lost their lives over the weekend in Asia/India... this is the most Catastrophic event of our time ( dont even f---in quote 9/11 or any war past WWII for that matter) and the death toll rises by the hour. i could not imagine to peer out into an ocean and see bodies as if a whaling freighter blasted 100 tons of tnt into the ocean to float fish... Vita E Morte take note that a tsunami quake of that magnitude hit north america 200 years ago and has a 10-15% percent chance of hitting again in the next 40 years. that is if we all survive the cycle of the Mayan Clander in 2018....

CapNColostomy Posted December 29, 2004 Share Posted December 29, 2004 I don't have much to say about this other than it's a damned shame, and I hate it for everyone that was effected by this. My thoughts and prayers are with the living and grieving, and the dead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IG-64 Posted December 29, 2004 Share Posted December 29, 2004 So many people. Think if you were celebrating holidays and taking pictures thinking one day you'll look back on them and smile. Only to be lying dead the next day with strangers staring at your lifeless body, or survive and stare in horror at your loved ones getting swept away, knowing you'll never see them again. And smell the stench of the bodies of people who once had lives of their own. Thousands of children whos joy of living was cut short, and all thier plans for the future gone forever. I'm sorry I had to say that but some people just don't understand the tragedy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GothiX Posted December 29, 2004 Share Posted December 29, 2004 instead of being silent for those who are dead, you could try to help those who are in danger of dying. Jus ten ****ing dollar could save someone's life down there, do you realise that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pie™ Posted December 29, 2004 Share Posted December 29, 2004 Yeah, I think charity is gonna help them more than silence. But I get your point, and I have a feeling this event will not be forgotten anytime soon. Which is probably because of all the tourists, but nvm that :/ My thoughts go to people who've lost someone close, and most of all to the natives who have lost everything of the little they had Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Acrylic Posted December 29, 2004 Share Posted December 29, 2004 This is just super sad. It makes me think, something like this could have happened when I was on a beach in Florida a couple years ago, enjoying time with my mom, dad, sisters, Aunt, Uncle, cousins, etc... It's probably what some tourists were doing. Enjoying themselves. It sometimes makes me wonder if there even is a God, and even so, if he's such a ruthless...being to allow something horrible like this to happen. Horrible...

Kurgan Posted December 29, 2004 Share Posted December 29, 2004 A terrible human tragedy. May the dead rest in peace! As to the survivors, who are in danger of starvation, malnutrition, disease, etc, they need our prayers and donations. Donate money to worthy charities, donate blood, whatever you can. These people need us! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Jed Posted December 29, 2004 Share Posted December 29, 2004 I edited a few posts. Those who think a "omg bush is stupid and hilarious" jokes in this thread will be persecuted. I will gut those who do not heed my warning. OT, I donated a bit. Hope it helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toms Posted January 6, 2005 Share Posted January 6, 2005 I've donated some money too. They are doing a special service at our work to allow you to donate before the tax is removed. A friend of ours was on the beach at Phuket when the wave came in, but luckily managed to run to a bridge. She thought she lost her boyfriend, but he managed to climb a tree and then run to another bridge between waves. phew. I did hear a scary figure that the number of people killed (up to about 150,000 so far) is only about the same number that die from hunger each month in the world. Not sure how true that is, but it is even more scary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GothiX Posted January 6, 2005 Share Posted January 6, 2005 There's almost 75 million dollar raised in tiny Dutchmancountry now. I'm finally proud of my nation, dammit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
•-BLaCKouT-• Posted January 6, 2005 Share Posted January 6, 2005 Bloody hell, Toms! That's two damn luck people you know! (although I'm sure they know that) Next time you speak to them, wish 'em all the best from me (and presumably, the rest of the Swampies). Luckily (I guess?) I don't know anyone directly affected by it all. I still read the article in the paper the other day that had names & pictures of some of the missing/deceased with one eye closed in case I recognised a face. Originally posted by GothiX I spent 6 hours collecting money, and donated 20 dollars myself, does that count? Just a bit mate, yes And Gothix, you should be proud of your nation anyways. They smoke dope legally and speak four languages! I live in the UK. B. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
