All this honest curiosity pouring out of me is making me uneasy:
Why do they have compassion for trolling assholes and empathy for a shitty place halfway around the world? 0.o
Usual shitty reason Vae... it's not us in that earthquake zone.
Hey has anyone heard / Seen the Vi0D or did I miss another memo?

Meh... girlfriend has a 3 hour class. I might actually get back on LoL for a little while  Probably start out easy with some dominion.
Really don't see why anyone cares: It's an earthquake. Woo.
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day

Void is alright. He said that he's just very busy with other work (outside the forum). He'll come back when he has more leisure time.
Concerning mehmet, I think he is okay also because I've seen him post here. I hope that his family is okay also.

To be blunt.No, I don't care much at all. Although I hope Mehmet is OK.
My understanding is that it was 7.2. I think I'd care quite a lot if it effected my street. For a start, my house would not be here.The rubble would be at the bottom of the hill.
According to Wiki,7.2 can cause serious damage over a wide area.There are about 15 earthquakes of that magnitude world wide a year.

Hell, I'd even check in on the xtians if any of them were affected by a massive catastrophe, although it might be mistaken for the rapture.

I care about people in general. Being a troll isn't punishable by impassivity when it comes to potentially life or death situations, in my opinion. As for Turkey, it's not all that shitty, but I'm a history nerd. What history they have not destroyed is pretty neat. I find it difficult not to be impressed.

Indeed. Do their children not deserve life because they happened to be born in a shitty environment?
I hate these threads ... not because I don't want to support the downtrodden, but because it is the only time I am embarrassed of the rhetoric of SOME of my atheist friends. Especially considering how often I brag about how much more loving and compassionate we all are than christians.
whatever, be who you want, I'll do the same.

I thought it might be a fair thread to maintain, through which we can all express care for those on the board.
So, Mehmet, are you safe and sound? Are your family and friends OK? I am A-OK. And all my relatives are OK too. The earthquake happened far from where I'm living.
It was in the city of Van.

The thing is that we DON"T know where you are living (City that is) We had to go through this with the Christchurch earth quake only to find one of the members actually LIVED in the quake zone; so we still get a bit worried when ever a new earth quake hits a city.
