Wow. This is seriously depressing.

Actually, this kind of news reminds me that earthquakes are undoubtedly an devastating force despite reading series of so-called earthquakes on California or other major first-world countries.

Wasn't it pat robertson who said the earh would end in 1985, and when wrong said it was because of prayer, then said it would end later on a certain year?

he said in 2007 that the us would be wrecked by terror and violence. we were apparently saved by prayer. then he said we'd suffer a depression in 2008. i guess pat knows everything!

Man, why Haiti out of all places? Couldn't it have been somewhere with a lot of money? Like New York? /sarcasm
Still, you gotta feel for the Haitians.

I don't understand why it's ok to troll every other thread but this one. Respectfully disagree with banning coltrane, as he did not break any rules. Are Haitians' lives more respectful than anyone else's?

Wonder what the religious people think of their god's love for all it's children­. Those Haitians mustve really done some evil shit....

On the story itself, it's very sad that an already harsh place to live has become harsher. If you really want to point fingers, point them at the brutal American led exploitation of this country which drove it to the ground.

For the earthquake? Because I'm all for blaming America and the corporations and multinationals and the military industrial complex for everything bad but the earthquake probably would have happened anyway.

wtf?
How the hell did America exploit anything in this situation or had anything to do with this?
Drove to the ground - speaking of Haiti / earthquake? Again, US has nothing to do with any of that.
U = idiot.

The story of the guy that said Haiti had a pact w/ the Devil.. well.. I don't believe in God which would mean believing in the Devil either, but I think the story speaks of Karma. Dunno if that story is true or not, as he said it was, but looking at this examples: Dominican Republic and HAiti on same island, basically split in half.. Dominican side doing very well and Haiti is poverty-stricken w/ many natural disasters happening to them w/ almost no infliction being dealt to the D. Republic.
Like I said.. seems liek Karma, or something that can prevent 1/5 an island from being safe when the other 1/5 gets F'd.

I also support the guy getting temp-banned. I know the internet has its fair share of retards/idiots/assholes (as i quoted above) but in these situations, it's not needed or justified to try to be comical. Was truly a disaster for them, everyone lost something, loved ones, shelter, or what ever sort of lively-hood they had going for them.. and a few ppl here poking fun at them.
Would be the same if those particular people had a fire-storm in their neighborhood and everyones houses burnt down except maybe theirs, and they would be out in the street, laughing and pointing fingers at the ones whos homes were ash as the inhabitants were huddled together out in the street with nothing but the clothes on their back. Simply uncalled for.

Labeling people who disagree with you as idiots/assholes and talking about "karma" to hide your poor understanding of the Haitian socio-economic issues, what a joke you are sir.

Ok I went through that LisandroSuero guy's pictures and it really is a kick in the balls for Haiti. I had no idea earthquakes were so deadly too, 100000 is bigger than my town.

Shepard Smith actually said it wonderfully in that video. Thanks for posting that {CC}.

"The people of Haiti have been used and abused by their governments over the years. They have dealt with unthinkable tragedy day in and day out, and we’re in the middle of a crisis that the Western Hemisphere has not seen in my lifetime, and 700 miles east of Miami hundreds of thousands of desperate human beings need our help, our support, our money, and our love, and they don’t need that.”


In the OP, I posted a link to a list of charitable organizations that everyone should consider helping out. I donated some money to MSF in the morning. Consider the American Red Cross, MSF, Oxfam, and (Paul Farmer's) Partners in Health.

And reit, it's pretty tasteless to make light of any tragedy, let alone the largest humanitarian crisis in the Western Hemisphere in decades. When has that ever been accepted?
