Dagobahn Eagle Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 Four thousand ****ing people... As if I didn't hate natural disasters enough already:mad:. I got a friend who lost her mom in an avalanche half a year ago, so... Nah, they're not my favourite:eek:. I can't think of any other charity organizations that haven't been listed already by our buddy Kurgan, sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabretooth Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 Indonesia just doesn't have the luck. A sad thing in this world. I hope they pull through all of this. Indonesia, I believe is standing on top of a violent plate-border. And unless the Indonesian Government come up with some sort of an evacuation solution, or something, they're going to face very nasty quakes, in my foresight. Really, very sad, the way the world is.
