Your life is NOT in as much danger as anyone else there. You can leave, the Japanese citizen's cannot. You paint this pretty picture when it's not a pretty picture at all. Over 11,000 people are dead. A few even died in Tokyo. But you just go right ahead and live it up with every other materialistic, self centered, rich fat cat that doesn't care about those people.

You have no idea who I am, why I'm here, what I risk; what deeper feelings and experiences and motivations lie below surface attitudes. I'm guessing you have led a rather sheltered life.
I could go on to justify myself and explain further, but why bother? It's just a messageboard, right?
I wanted to keep a running commentary on ATS, including photos, but you know what? I don't have to take this kind of treatment from posters such as yourself on top of everything else I have to deal with right now.
Thread finished..
Logging out.

It has nothing to do with fear mongering or being a government agent. Get your head out of the sand, unplug your ears and use the brain you have if you have any. The situation is serious & very real. As for those of you saying he's helping the economy by spending money.
There's plenty he could be spending his money on that would actually help them instead of wasting it away on booze and God knows what else. I wouldn't be surprised if he was seeing some girl while there too! Why not give to the Red Cross or Samaritans Purse?
He didn't show ONE OUNCE of sympathy, care or sadness at all in his post. You all act so cold, so emotionally bankrupt and it's disgusting. Just like people on the news were behaving after the attack's on 9-11-01. Are we really so desensitized because of all the movies we've seen? All the death, destruction, and gore? That's what happens when you watch that garbage. How would you feel if when we had our attack on freedom on 9-11-01 if people were living it up in NYC, drinking champagne and talking how wonderful it is?

You're full of crap and ran away only because I struck a nerve. You don't care about the Japanese. And for that I don't care why you're there because it's for your own desire. I just wish you would seriously examine yourself. I don't hate you, I'm not even mad at YOU personally. I have a problem with this state of mankind and it's disgusting. Do you not think what those suffering people feel to see you and people like you going about their day as if nothing is wrong?edit on 17-3-2011 by soaringhawk because: (no reason given)

I sincerely hope the OP returns as well. What happened in this thread is an excellent example of how attacking the messenger (while ignoring the message) is contrary to our fundamental goal of denying ignorance with civil discourse.
There is FAR too much of this negativity happening and it needs to stop.
