Haiti Earthquake
 

My mom's nearly broke.

I would, sorry.

I would, but I'm nearly broke..

The epitome of douchebaggery.

Does someone who describes historical figures as "You know, Napoleon III and whatever" sound like a reliable source of information to you?


EDIT: Also, the bit about "the land will vomit you out" is a) referring specifically to ancient Israel and b) not referring to child murder at all.

Phelps is gunna be all over this.

Pat Robertson also claimed that he could leg press 2000 pounds. Leg Press machines can't even hold that much weight.

The man is human trash.

Pat Robertson

Ha. He wishes.
Actually he hates Twilight. In his mind it's on par with Harry Potter in that we're brainwashing youth to idolize the work of the devil.

Or so I would assume.

It has always amused me how Pat Robertson contradicts himself.

- Pat Robertson on Jews



- Pat Robertson on Presbyterians



Unless he is inferring that there is a Presbyterian spirit in a Jew’s body. This is highly unlikely.

Nate, how likely is it that a Presbyterian has been inside you?

Alcar...

I don't know. I'll make a few phone calls and find out.

To compare and contrast, here is something said by Chief Rabbi of the British Commonwealth Jonathan Sacks in 2005:

Or to put it another way, shit happens.

Can we get back on topic while we're still fairly civil?

Just looked up the death toll. Over 50,000 dead. For a natural disaster to cause that many deaths in one go is terrible.

This, the level of irreverence in this topic disgusts me.

I'm going to finish reading up on this when I get the chance. Unfortunately I have no money to give but I'll make sure to tell as many people who may not know about this as possible. I mean, I didn't know about this.

Irreverence?
Ragging on contemptible, evangelist assholes like Robertson because they say things like "they deserved it" for no reason other than impiousness is hardly irreverent. What happened in Haiti was tragic, as if they didn't have it bad enough already. It's sick that there are those types out there who say Haiti had it coming, and it's even worse that they have legions of followers.

I don't think expressing my distaste for shitheads like Robertson or Phelps is misplaced in this thread. I wish I could donate money, but I barely even have enough for basic necessities.

There's a time and a place, and every thread in this forum is a couple of steps away from devolving into spam and jokes on default, which usually I couldn't care less about.

Come now, they were only showing their disgust (through humor) at the people who truly are treating the situation with irreverence. It's happened. It's awful. There is very little that we can do besides donating some cash.

...is it just me or are the most sarcastic, joking a-holes I know acting serious O_o?

It's just you, Mama Lady.

Sonofa...grr.

I hope my parents will; I don't have money.

I'm going to spare at least $15. I can't do more than that, I only have about $80.00 left for the month.

It's just one of those situations where you wish you had the means to actually, physically help, but even if you could, there's so little you can actually do.

I hope everything works out well enough for them.

That's got to be the most unfortunate country in the world.

My mother and I will both give small donations, but I'll see if I can give more.

The support pouring in from the rest of the world is really touching.

Im helping by playing Halo.

Like with most tragedies, I can't feel anything. I simply cannot relate. That's not stopping me from donating money, but I still feel like an asshole.

I thought you were about to mention another FPS game that would be the pun of a joke. Doom

Run blackie, run!

What the fuck is wrong with you?


Explain your post by this time tomorrow, while I think of a sliding scale of punishments depending on how good your answer is.

I wonder how many people actually can relate and how many people pretend to, simply because they know people are watching and they think that's how they're meant to act.

I wish I could do something to help directly.

Can we just ban him and get it over with?
