oh yea lets go down there to add more to the death toll! you don't think we are? my school is already raising money to send down there. i know for a fact my oldest brother's work is sending tons of food down there that they raised for a food closet here. people try to do our best. bush is doing what he can to get people out of there. it takes time for a naval ship to start up. it can take up to 4 days for one to even be fully prepared even then some if the crew isnt just on a short shore leave if they're off in different parts they have to be called to virginia and then start up the ship. the national guard can only prevent riots otherwise not much. the coast guard is trying to get as many sick out of there as possible. if ur family has too much to just sit there tell them to get off their asses and do something about it.

do gas prices really matter? if u live only a few minutes from ur job take ur bike everyday n dont waste ur gas and complain about prices.

Wish you people would open your eyes, literally. :http://wow.allakhazam.com/news/sdetail4876.html

Aye. We tend to be oblivious to the rest of the world at times and this once again has been a reality check for us all. My thoughts and prayers go out to all of those affected by this act of nature.

If a/several family members are lost, is that not disaster and devastation to the family?

If your home and all your posessions are destroyed and gone, it that not disaster and devastation?

I could go on but you get my point.

Wow, where to start. First off, have you seen the news footage? New Orleans is an enourmous city. A metropolous if you will. And they're saying it may be uninhabitable for years to come. And that's just one of the cities affected. When the tsunami hit, the aid and donations sent by the people of the United States of America were surpassed by no other country in the world. The outpouring of support to Great Britain when terrorists attacked them by simple everyday Americans, many of whom were affected by the largest terror attack in the history of the world, was incredible. What, exactly, have you gone through Svart? Do you understand that New Orleans is one of the poorest cities in America? Do you somehow think that, because America is a wealthy country, all of us are rich? Look at those people. Maybe some of them are millionaires, though I highly doubt it, but even if they were, what good is it doing them? No one there has anything anymore. None of them will see their homes, perhaps for years to come. Many of them will never go back to the city they grew up in. When other countries are affected by disasters, they seem to take for granted that the U.S. will send ships full of food, send choppers to help rescue efforts, send money to rebuild. It's what we do. When we are affected by these things, we tend to take care of it ourselves. there will be no rush of aid from other countries to us like there was from us to the Tsunami victims, no influx of money from other countries. And somehow, even though you know Damn well that no one will be doing our cleanup and recovery for us, you get upset that we are focused on a tragedy in our own country, rather than something happening in Africa, or europe? How much would you like to bet that we have people in virtually every country that's had any sort of disaster helping those people out, probably people from New Orleans or Mobile themselves, giving aid to complete strangers, when their own friends and family my be dead in thier own home, and all the while they are helping these complete strangers, they hear that people like you, who will not send aid to America, who instead piss and moan the we're to focused on a disaster in our OWN FRIGGAN COUNTRY, think that hey, maybe we should just say screw you to the rest of the world, because they wouldn't lift a finger to help us, but you know what? None of those people will do that. They will continue helping ungrateful people like you. If, heaven forbid, some disaster should hit your home, be prepared to say hello to an american citizen, cause I bet good hard earned money there will be Americans there helping you. And after you've told them thank you, and cried on that rescuer's shoulder, maybe you should apologize to him or her for saying such awful things about the people of his country.

Not surprised it's a scandinavian writing the post. That there's other having it "worse" doesn't change the fact that many WoW players lost family/relatives/friends due to this disaster and your "there's ppl having it worse, this is nothing" attitude could have waited for your 'we hate america' meeting.
I would like to see you saying "na, don't donate money to organisations helping victims of a hurricane that killed my entiry family. ppl are having it worse in africa, give to them"
It's always a wake up call when it happens close to you, people don't ignore what's happening in africa etc. but the fact that we're getting the reports daily has sadly made most of us numb. Until something like this happens.

The point is understood, but the timing of this statement could have been a touch more tasteful. Allakhazam being a website most frequented by NA players, it's only natural to think they'd take notice of something -major- that happened in the US.

I understand that helping others every day has a place, but that statement need not be said right now.

Thank you for your time and understanding.
