Prayers For The Philippines, Bros



Fatbat said:
The biggest storm in, arguably, recorded history hardly qualifies as "an unknown incident". You're really that lazy that can't spend 10 seconds to open a major, nay ANY news source, before posting (huurrrr duuurrrr) "what happened?". Really?

You don't even have to open a news source once a day. This has been something in development for the last week! How can you be that detached from the world in this day and age?



Your sarcasm aside, you do not need to have a TV in your office broadcasting the news 24/7 to be vaguely on top of current worldly events.

Edit: A lot of good prayers did them OP. You can bet, seeing as how the vast majority are some flavor of Christian, that they were all praying right up to and throughout that storm. What makes you think our prayers are going to help them now?

I think he's trolling you. I have no TV either, I mean we have multiple TVs but I never watch any of them and everytime I walk past one of them Amanda has some awful shit on like Keeping up With The Kardashians. I knew about that storm 3-4 days in advance. You would literally have to be out in the woods with no radio, TV, or internet to NOT have known about it.

I am online all day, and learned of the tragedy in this thread.

I look forward to WF informing me of the next major event that will be forgotten in a month.
 
I'd feel a little more sorry for these people if they weren't stealing american jobs. It might be nice to have a VA and all but the U.S. is better off without these people draining our economy. Just talked to a Blue Cross rep from the Philipines (as opposed to from america); and all of the nurses I've ever dated constantly complained about how they band together and backstab in the hospital industry.

Can't help but wonder how many Filipinos would be willing to make monetary sacrifices when a natural disaster strikes the U.S...

Yeah, you're right.

I never thought about how a person's life might be worth more or less depending on where they happened to be born.

But now that you put it like that, I realize, yes, fuck them for not being American, fuck them in their stupid asses.

Am I doing it right?




Also, if somebody who speaks English as a second language and lives on the other side of the world can "steal" your job, you need more skills and less complaining.

You are in a rowboat out in the middle of the ocean. There are only two seats in the rowboat. You occupy one of them. You have room for one more person.

Beside your rowboat, there are two people drowning.

One is a white, English speaking male from New York City. The other is a Filipino speaking man from Manila.

Who do you pull out of the water?

(No, the drowning Filipino man is not Manny Pacquiao)

Well, since I happen to be a "Filipino speaking man from Manila", myself, I guess I save the life of my countryman and leave the decadent American POS to drown.

But doesn't that mean...

"that person's life might be worth more or less depending on where they happened to be born"

Throw Jimmy in the water as he rattles off a riddle and then you have room for both of them! #winning :smokin:
 
So sad, so many people have died in this, but we are here fighting about who we would save first?

Very depressing to read

So many?

"According to UNICEF, 22,000 children die each day due to poverty. And they “die quietly in some of the poorest villages on earth, far removed from the scrutiny and the conscience of the world. Being meek and weak in life makes these dying multitudes even more invisible in death.”"

Children...

"1.4 million die each year from lack of access to safe drinking water and adequate sanitation"

"1.8 million child deaths each year as a result of diarrhoea"


So, less than 2,500 deaths = so many? It's a drop in the bucket.

Watch the following video. It has to do with fears of machines "stealing" jobs, but much of it could apply to fears about foreign labor, also.

Trick question! There aren't any white, English speaking males in New York City.
