I'd bet you'd give two shits if someone you cared about was over there... oh wait, you don't, nevermind.
Observe:
Care about self --> care about things self likes --> care about things from Japan self likes --> care about Japan.
Really this model is everyone's reason, in one convoluted way or another, as if Japan (and the Japanese along with their impact on the world) only did things that you didn't like, you wouldn't care.
Simple as that, even if you do completely ignore the horror of the events.

regardless if they live in our own countries or in another, regardless is we know them or not, if a single person dies before their time we damn well should care a great deal! and after everything japan's done for the world, we should do everything in our power's to lend a hand! (i live in the UK but by "we" i just meant all who are not japan)
I think it's sad that randomness does shit like this, and I'm pissed off about those claiming it's "Gods work". Those people needs a good beating...
Also, you are NEVER the only one... Even that guy that thinks Hitler was a great guy is far from alone (sadly).
As long as you agree with this statement I don't really care how you feel about the issue. I certainly would be disturbed if you took pleasure in the death of so many Japanese civilians, but the vast majority of people in the world can't allow themselves to care about every and all events that goes on in the world, horrible or not.anthony87 said:

Well, this guy, even though you might not agree with him...really has a point
He's a good guy, and what he's saying is right...right?

Only thing I care is that the name of nuclear power would be salvaged by the Japanese successfully clean the mess at the nuclear power. Just because few Green party representative bloggers want to shutdown all of Finland's Nuclear reactors (Including Test and research reactors) In case we are hit by an earthquake and tsunami - They are honestly stupid, if you learn but about geology you'll know why.Revenge Revisited said:
I am aware of the fact that there are problems there. And I honestly don't see it as a reason to stop my life and look how they suffer. I have my own problems, I went to complain to school nurse about how my hands nerve condition is acting up again and I want to go home and rest. One idiot hear of it while waiting at the Nurse's lobby and Told me after I came out: "How you dare complain about pain, don't you know what Is happening in Japan" I responded "A. How is that supposed to help me? What does the fact that there are people in worse condition does to help my condition B. I honestly don't care, they will persevere they will rebuild and prosper again" I hate the fact that It has been made a big deal for few reason: Media frenzy and Pop-Culture. Think about it. If there would be no Internet or Phones let alone Radios, how long it would take for us to hear about disaster like this.
I honestly want to leave them alone and let them heal their wounds. Constant media frenzy doesn't help anyone. I don't want to hear how there are people suffering there, I know it. But what can I do - expect donate money, that I believe does nothing to comfort them. Nothing!
Sad fact is that after the next big disaster strikes some place, we will forget that horrible things happened there. Why no one is talking about Haiti anymore or Catrina, how about the broken Chemical damn in mid Europe - they are still suffering because of that and why I hear no one crying after them anymore?
It makes me sick, the way human mind works.
But yeah, you are not alone. I don't like humans in general anyway so don't call me racist or anything, I hate everyone equally.
And you can go and insult me and call me what not. But no matter what the situation is I am still entitled to my right to have an opinion, I will hold that right and I will speak my mind.
I hate the idea of "They are suffering, therefor you are not allowed to Criticize them, joke about them, speak bad about them!"... Hey! I am suffering constantly, I am in horrible pain constantly, I take strong pills to make it just to make it trough a single day. I am deeply depressed because I keep losing control of my hand slowly. And yet people have no respect for my suffering, even some of the people in my school tease me because of the fact I am in pain and I take narcotic painkillers. Why am I not granted that immunity?
But one thing I say.
I will not tolerate anyone saying something like: "They deserved it", "God punished them" or "It was payback for Pearl..."! I might not be crying for them, but I will defend them when it comes to blaiming them for this horrible disaster. I might not be crying over them but I don't think they deserved this either, no one deserve anything like that what has happened there.
Nope, I feel nothing either. I wish my best regards to the people of Japan but I honestly don't care and to make me care is just not going to happen. Bad things happen all the time and there is nothing I can do to change it so why worry, why feel sad and why let myself get down by it
EDIT: However I do think the people saying they deserve it should have a bullet between their eyes

American to the bone mate you are. When this happens to your country (Nice big fault line you got their) watch how much your people are willing to help others just like in New Orleans. Mate you and your people are totally screwed, and you know why? Cause of your attitude. Good luck.
I see what you're saying, but you're still an arse. I mean, I don't feel the same emotion that i'd feel if someone close to me was to die, but I do feel strong empathy for the country's troubles, and I consider the issue of humanitarian aid to be terribly relevant.
Why would you post something like this anyway? Are you trolling, or are you trying to look cool and non-conformist by going against popular opinion?

To quote you and at the same time give you an anwser, you are "just a sociopathic weirdo".
There is nothing wrong about neither knowing nor specially liking the japanese people, but given empathy is something good ur a jerk.
But then on the other hand, and if you're serious by saying that you feel bad for the japanese, i would think you kind of actually do care!

Personally, I think it's strange that you don't care. I'm not calling you sick or anything, I get that you aren't happy about the whole thing, but when you see the footage on the news, do you really feel nothing for people who have just had everything taken away from them and were powerless to stop it?
I mean, do you not connect to fictional characters in movies, games or novels? Do you care what happens to them? You'll never meet them, and what happens in a movie certainly won't effect you, and that's something that isn't even real.
I'd understand if you felt like "well I feel sorry fot them, but there's nothing I can do, so I wont beat myself up about it" but the way I read it, it seems you feel nothing, which I don't think is right, the people who have died or lost their homes are humans, just like you.

As many have said - the internet is not the sort of place to be stating this sort of thing. I dunno if you thought about it, but someone Japanese, or otherwise personally touched by this, or just more knowledgeable about the situation will see it and be offended.
For example, would you as an American be offended if I was to say I didn't really care about Katrina? That I just assumed without research that all of that would just be rebuilt soon enough? You probably would, because you would know that the impact of Katrina is still a long way from being fixed, even in the richest nation in the world. Now have a look at Japan's economy, and see that they are also trillions of dollars in debt. More people were made homeless in this tragedy than in the end of WW2.
It's a big deal.

I can sorta see why people don't care much about the tsunami or the earthquake, but the fact that we may be close to the biggest nuclear catastrophe ever is kinda relevant to all our interests, I should say. I certainly can't remember watching the news with that much apprehension in all my life.
Though as someone who knows his history very well, reading the "remember pearl harbor" comments make me halfway wish for a nuclear accident that would eventually kill us all. How'd like these ignorant fuckers their "karma" then? It is just too sad for words.

This, kids, is what we call a "good example".Ekonk said:
Since I don't know anyone in Japan and cannot comprehend the amount of misery going on there right now, I don't feel sad.
That's emotion, however. Rationally I do care about it and I think it's an enormous tragedy. I'm also a bit frightened for the Japanese about what will happen when those reactors go into meltdown.

My response when I heard about it: "Wow. Sucks to be them. Life's a ***** sometimes."
I'd rather those people not be dead, I hold no ill will towards them, it'd probably be better if the tsunami didn't happen.
Whatever happens happens, i'm just along for the ride.
