LEECH'S PROFILE

I think that although there have been a few jokes in this topic, the bulk of this topic has been pretty good and now has two very good resources for people to use to help with this tragedy. Geodude was kind enough to post the friend finder for Hostilefun and anyone else who needs it, and now Jericho has the Redcross Text message service which is really fantastic and I hope a lot of people take advantage of that. $10 dollars isn't really that much money, (A little over an hour of work for those of us at minimum wage) but combined with enough other $10 could really make a big difference. I would encourage everyone who can to donate.

He used earthquake.

The thing is, if you started to create a thread every time a tragedy takes place, this place would be overrun faster than BOF II updates.

Got it. Hopefully they did not get hit to hard. It's a shame I think when a disaster manages to effect so many different places. As sad as it is for one place to get decimated, I would rather it be one place than having a bunch of minor damage all over the world. At least the big disaster areas attract attention and people send aid. The lesser damaged regions just get completely ignored. It's especially sucky for Japan though because they have spent a lot of money working on earthquake resistant buildings and technologies, but then they get hit with an Earthquake big enough that they really didn't stand a chance anyway, and then on top of that there really isn't a viable protection option from tsunami. It makes you wonder why you should even bother trying to protect yourself when stuff like this happens. (It's just like fighting an unwinable battle in videogames in some ways.)

Personally, I feel like there are a wide variety of possible things to discuss here. However, I recognize that there are those who don't. As such, I would recommend that those people who don't have anything to discuss, don't discuss.

Now then, By Julia Gillard, do we mean the Prime Minister of Australia? That would be a fun twist. They are close enough to Japan that they could have perhaps set off some sort of weapon to cause massive amounts of damage to Japan, but I have to ask... what is the motive?
