Your reactions to the March 11, 2011 earthquake and tsunami that struck Japan

I know that is a tragedy to some people, but this has nothing to do with anime. Maybe you should try asking in the Random or Japan club? Excuse my rudeness, but don't get butthurt over this answer if you're about to do just that.

Considering this is where the majority of the anime we love so much comes from. I would tend to disagree.

I knew someone was bound to say that, but we all have different thoughts. I don't tend to start an argument, so this is my last comment for this.

So same old? No big surprise for u?

It was a natural disaster, they are bound to happen from time to time. No point overly focusing on them. ¬¬

Point taken

weirdalfan2788 posted over a year ago

Wait, so just because they happen often, we shouldn't "focus" too much on them? I don't understand that... even if they do happen often, people really do die, get hurt, and lose their homes/possessions during those natural disasters... only showing "moderate" concern is pretty cold. Those things happening often doesn't lessen the impact they have on people... really... especially with the case in Japan, it was pretty bad. I know it's just your opinion... but, this logic is strange imo... ;;

I said don't overly focus on it, obviously some focus is needed. And nor did I state because it's reason is because it's often, it's actually because you can't really stop a natural from disaster from happening so why overly worry about it? And if I want to stake my full logic, outside of the moderate concern, I honestly don't care that much since it doesn't concern me, too much emphasizing with the survivors or the unfortunately departed is just putting more harm on you then truly needed. Plus people die from far worse ways, just look at the nerve gas attacks in Syria, imo that is of a more greater concern. ¬¬

Those attacks on Syria are horrifying, but I don't think you should care more about their deaths than the people who died in natural disasters because the way they died was "worse". In both cases, people lost their lives and futures. And I know the victims from the attacks in Syria suffered greatly, but I don't think that's a reason to water down what happened to the Japanese victims. Death is death no matter how it happened. Not caring that much about these things is just strange to me, I think that death of any kind should be treated with great concern, especially when it's in large amounts like that. I'd overly worry about it because /peoples lives are being ruined/ and I /know/ if that happened to me, and some guy said "well, these things happen, better not show anything other than 'moderate' concern", I'd be a little upset. And I completely jumped to a conclusion with the "often" thing, I admit that much, I just assumed "time to time" meant often, which I guess is a mistake on my part. But I stand with what I originally said. I just think it's better to face the reality of it completely, the reality that people are suffering like that. I'd put a lot of worry, even if it does put "harm" on me, because that's reality. I can't just not care, these things are horrible. But that's just me, and I doubt I'd be able to change your opinion, so I guess that's all I'll say.

For the most part, you can't prevent a natural disaster while on the on the other hand you can prevent humanities flawed actions like the gas attacks. I can't see how natural accidents are just was bad as what's practically genocide. I understand my views are quite strange to see(I seem to conflict with norm behavior a lot) but as you say you are right, people's lives were ruined and people were lost but that with a natural disaster they can hope to rebuild, with atrocities like what's happening in Syria, the survivors will live in fear of another attack. I accept that people will suffer for natural disasters but me caring more than I do won't help them any better, to me that sort of concern should be left to the people who can help. And you're right, I doubt anyone could change my opinion on these kind of things but I'll respect your different opinion. ¬¬

That is sad that you say you don't care because it doesn't concern you. I know some people ar like that. I may not focus on things either, but I definately care. I Definately DEFINATELY care about anyone is a natural disaster that happens ALL the time because -like you said, they are NOT something people have control of. :/

Definitely made me cry a little seeing all of the video footage and pictures. Any and every disaster, accidental or not, is very saddening.

I remember talking about it with loved ones. To hear things going across like their people saying they did not need things like money. They were asking for diapers, basic necessities. I was just in awe and deep respect once again of the Japanese people as a whole. Not using it as an excuse to put their hand out like so many others would have. Asking only for what they truly needed. Then of course the nucular reactors and the radiation . . . to this day I wonder the ramifications that are going to come from it.

Yes... Thank you for saying that. It is very true.

it made me really upset and sad...but my stupid 'friends' at school laughed about it and said 'who cares? now there will be no more stupid anime and all those japanese retard sicko's will all die!" ..............TT^TT

posted over a year ago

EXCUSE ME? Japanese "retard sick'os?" What kind of a person LAUGHS at a natural disaster? (Maybe they were really pointing some fingers at themselves.) I think that people need to watch what they say whether they believe in God or a Higher being or not because I believe they will deserve for something bad to happen to them and no one care and laugh at THEM. i am thankful we do not always get what we deserve, but apathy is bad enough, that sort of immaturity or messed up meaness i would have looked at them and gotten me some new friends who are better!

My dad died.

It was horrible.

People HAVE to understand that Japan is built from volcanic activity in an active zone! This WILL occur and HAS... not the first, not the last. It's islands! Just pray and help anyone in any trauma disaster anywhere in the world! They need it & appreciate it.

and yes... this was years ago, and this is NOT an anime question. :/ Not sure why you are posting this here.
