Who even
gives a flying fuck about Missouri right now? And I'm speaking as a Missourian here.
I am still speechless and stunned after watching the tsunami hit--it is harrowing. One of my friends quite literally cried over it. I know a lot of cynical morons will make this into some stupid thing to further whatever agenda--I've already seen some people say some really stupid shit and attack others for even caring about it and attack others for not caring enough, but the important part is this:
People literally died because of this.
People in many different places have literally lost their homes and essentially their lives because of this.
People have lost loved ones because of this.
I don't give a damn about where it happened. It was horrible when Haiti was hit last year, it was horrible when Indonesia and India were hit in 2004, and the disaster that's occurring right now is horrible.
My sympathy to the Japanese and any other areas that happen to be affected.
A few more words:
To all of the people who are saying things like "but what about the anime???":
You're disgusting.
To all of the people who are saying things like "people only care because it's a first-world nation and/or anime, kill these people":
You're disgusting.
To all of the people who are saying things like "well, they asked for this because of Pearl Harbor":
You're
really disgusting.
To all of the people who are saying things like "all Americans can think about is Pearl Harbor/anime/whatever, I wish the disaster had happened here instead of there/I'd rather 100,000 Americans die than 1 Japanese person":
You're
really, really disgusting.
Still, I don't wish death on any of you. And I certainly hope that nobody else is going to wish death on anyone else because of this. Nobody asked for it, it's nobody's fault, and nobody deserves it.
