Okay, so it's on everyone's mind. The tsunami! Oh my God! 200,000! DEAD! Poverty! Hunger! Homelessness! The world is coming to an end!



Okay, enough of it already. We understand. Lots of people died. Lots of people lost their homes. So? What's new with the world?



The media and society is trying to cram down our throats that this is some horrible tragedy that we must all support, and we all apparently are supposed to buy into it and feel bad.



I don't.



Why should I support some faux cause like this? Seriously. A tsunami hit and killed a bunch of people, and took the homes of many others. So what? There's millions, if not close to the billions, of people who are starving, homeless, and dying every day. Why should this make a difference in our indifference?



How many of us American's give a fuck with poor old Ali Bubushka in Iran dies of leukemia? How many of us put towards any effort towards the starvation or AIDS ridden villages of Ethiopia? How many of us give a fuck about anyone but ourselves, until the news puts something on?



I hate America. We're so full of hypocrites that it makes me sick. Nobody gives a shit about anything unless the news tell them to give a shit. It's all about TV, papers, and the internet nowadays. We don't show compassion unless we're TOLD to show compassion.



I'm not trying to undermine that a bunch of people died. That's a horrible fact, but still, why should we care? It's barely a blip on the radar of World Deaths, seeing as we have over 6 billion people living in the world. Do some math on that. Roughly .00003% of the world died. OMFG. Horrible. Who the hell cares?



And Thailand and Sri Lanka and all these places weren't THAT rich to begin with. They had plenty of homeless and starving. So now that they get hit with a natural disaster, they suddenly lost everything? I think they're just looking for a little more pity than they deserve. But that's okay, we all do it. America did it during 9/11, although at least ours was an attack by someone else, not just some random act of God.



I don't hate charity, and I don't support lots of people dying. I just also don't support some corrupt and faulty causes demonstrated by America to help people only when the news asks us to help them. If you want to make a difference in the world, you need to do some research and help EVERYBODY, not just the fuckers that get put on the news.



Does helping the tsunami make you feel connected to the world? I'm glad, because you're so obviously not if you have to take part in this one charity to make you feel like you've done something for the world. News Flash: You haven't done SHIT for the world, you've just shown your naivity and ability to fall victim to propoganda.



Good job, America. You're helping tsunami victims, but at the same time showing how worthless, thoughtless, and vain you all are.



Fuck you very much.

  1. I don't know if I agree, but I know that I don't disagree (I should be a politician). I really hadn't thought about it like that, Zombie. But, that's why you write for SS9090. You have your own vision, mine is much more focused on watching Cartoon Network.
