Silence yourself spitfiremkv.
1. Not only American use this board.
2. I Highly doubt many people are on with yesterday being a long buisy day. And football games on.

So calm yourself. It will recieve the attention it deserves.

And yes it is terrible for those people.

yeah, god forbid we wake up and enjoy our sunday and forget a message board!

it's a horrible  thing to happen but don't use it as a springboard to launch onto your soapbox. using a tragedy to further your own political views is pretty lame.

Thats awful.  I know we have a pretty good sized Malay population here, I'm sure things are going to be crazy tomorrow when services start opening back up.  I feel for them.

People not responding to the posting of  major disaster on the AH BBS means that Americans have a '**** the rest of the world attitude'?

I guess this makes you a half-step removed from Mother Theresa? You care so much that you post your sympathy to the AH BBS? I stand in awe. You Sir have truly gone the extra mile. I am sure those thirsty, shocked, starving, and sometimes injured people aren't going to give a damn about the supplies pouring into the region via U.S. military transport assets. But they'll have a warm glow inside knowing that some loser punk named 'spitfiremkv' defended them from 'American insensitivity' that existed only in his damaged mind by posting to an obscure BBS.

Get a life, retard.

Love,

Mike/wulfie

Been following this development since it was breaking news this morning...... Poor people too and that only makes it worse by the minute.

Cant remember seeing something this bad within such a short time period.

Well, look up Iran and earthquake. About 20,000 people died a couple years ago there.

This recent tragedy is aweful and very, very sad.

Spooky, we had an 8.1 quake 400km off our coast last week. Never even though about the tsunami thing.

What's the matter spit, panties in a bunch because no one flocked to your post?

WTF gives you the right to categorize an entire nation based on how they do or don't respond to you.  Pretty self centered eh?  

Ever consider the possibility that most noticed the author of the thread and that alone caused it's being ignored?
