I'm unfazed. |

- Are you an idiot?
- No sir, I'm a dreamer.
^ that pretty much sums up how I feel. |

Ignorant bliss is an oxymoron; but so is miserable truth.
You'd be "fazed" and care if it happened to you, in your city. You damn well know you would. |

Things are not as they seem
I think his point was more along the lines that we're unfazed about the many more people who die in Africa of preventable diseases or starvation, for example. When was the last time you cared about them? |
|
Exactly. Millions of people (or is it over a billion?) suffer from starvation. There's also disease. And currently there are several or dozens of ongoing conflicts occurring around the world. |
|

Yeah. |

Well, I'm a high schooler too living on the other side of the world (New Zealand =\) and there's plenty being done over here. |

I was very touched to see the women and chanting coming together in peaceful and hopeful marches in their own cities, that's what actually drew me into the story. I understand that much of the world is suffering, but that's not any reason to take it out on the people of Haiti and not care about them. Apathy happens when you feel powerless or hopeless. By caring for the people of Haiti you actually empower yourself to care for others. Apathy on the other hand is an end to itself. |
|
True, the reason people will feel bad about these things is the media coverage, but should we really go around feeling bad for everyone all the time? Sure, one can try to help, scrape together some extra cash and give it to an organization one trusts, hopefully when it's needed the most. But does it help anyone if you go around feeling bad about their situation? |

Nicely put. People just don't care unless it happens to them...only when their endangered does people really "give a fuck". Like animals..truth be told. |

White girl, you can ask her what the dick be like
And monster madness doing drive-bys on a fuckin fixie bike
Fuck it moron, snortin oxycontin, wearin cotton,
Oxymoron like buff faggots playin sissy dykes
Wow whoever said they were unfazed needs to be shot.. Im serious.. Its people like you who we don't need in this world. It's not just about you, it's also about helping others. Ya people may be dieing from starvation but were doing the best we can to help 'em. |

So sad. Get a mirror, instead of a gun you are so quickly bringing up. Without attacking the person, I must say, that post can become a formal definition of Hypocrisy. |

I believe that an earthquake that size hit California just a few days before the one hit Haiti. I don't even think there were any casualties. The weird thing is that when the earthquake hit Cali, my mom said, it's so strange that when an earthquake like this hits a third world country it's such a tragic event, but in the US b/c we are prepared it's no big deal. Then a few days later, tragedy strikes Haiti. My mom was shocked and feels bad for saying what she did. Not that she feels responsible, but she just had a feeling it was going to happen. It's really unfortunate what's going on there right now. |

Xyn, read the rest of the thread then post again... |

"MementoMori, the lucid machine"
"There's nothing better than knowing what it's like to fly like superman. Being fully aware of the air whipping by you, controlling every movement of every single atom in your body with a single thought. It's real freedom, and there's not a word good enough to describe it, so I'll just call it dreamy for now."
Xyn...can you ease up on the personal insults please? There's no need for such language, and no reason this cannot be discussed in a civil and respectful manor. |

The US takes earthquakes that size no problem. |
