That is true however it was not the start of WW2.
Back on topic, I suggest everyone ignores those unpleasant people. There is nothing to be done about them.

Sorry, but what exactly are you expecting from networks that mostly have automated programming, little to no human interaction, etc?
What do you mean Kanluwen? Are you insulting G4? Because you can't really make fun of it, for that. Your thinking of Comedy central's Tosh.0
I'm saying you're putting far too much praise on a flippin' TV network man. Just because they put up a blog post saying "how you can help" doesn't mean that they should be lauded as "even a channel like them, that they care(more than most american shows)".
Which actually brings me to another thing. "Most American shows" are filmed months in advance--and even then, most don't film on Fridays, Saturdays, or Sundays.
Anything which has a "live" segment on Friday, every channel I turned to was talking about how you can donate to the Red Cross or showing the live feeds from NHK.

Sorry. That was just something prickling at me.
But Soladrin's right about now being a good time for Twitter. It's been interesting seeing the live updates regarding the Fukushima reactor.

I'm sure the above people will learn their lesson of compassion for those struck down by nature when LA falls into the ocean and every non-American troll hops on to Facebook to write "haha eat a knob USA. Payback for [BEEF WITH THE U S AND A HERE]. Karma. lol."
Yesterday, they were out over the ocean near my place scooping bodies out of the ocean. Everyone in Japan is pitching in. There are no stories of looting or crime. These people know how to work together.

I understand that, Kilkrazy, my prayers are for japan.
But Kanulwen sometimes you assertions are not needed on things that ARE UNRELATED to the topic. But that was related, I posted a place that also is supporting japan. So your spite is not really needed in this matter. So please just leave it alone. There are millions of people suffering in japan alone, and untold millions more across the pacific world. So instead of insulting tv, donate some money to the red cross so we can help the people in japan. Last thing we need to do is to add more to the problem.
From whom are unforgiven we bring the mercy of war.
Yes, sad, very sad, comparing an act of war to an act of nature's wrath. Japan needs help right now, not vitriol.

These people really disgust me.
And I have to say though, if any country can pull themselves out of this gak, it's japan, I've never heard of this big a disaster being so well organized within a day.
True, look how things were in New Orleans after Katrina, even the cops were looting stores, folks were still trapped and little was being done by 24hrs.

If there's one thing massive government bureaucracies do well it's being organized

New Orleans was a gakhole though. They had one of the highest rates of corruption in their police forces, nepotism all over the place, etc.

Definitely. The one thing to take solace from, however, is that most of the people posting those sentiments are morons and will be bagging groceries/serving drinks/waiting tables for most of their lives.
