Is that comment for real?

you do realise that this is the worst example of human carnage and devastation that we are ever likely to see in our life time?

I honestly dont think people have appreciated the importance of this event. Cheltenenham conversations and PHA conversations make me quite sick right now

What would you like people to do ? Yeah it's a horrible situation and it's a huge disaster but there's not much we can do about it is there ? I'm all for empathy but its pretty unrealistic to expect people not to carry on with there daily lives when they aren't directly effected, it's how people are and if they weren't, everyone would go insane.

Massive +1.

If we were to stop, for every horrid thing that happened in the world. We would never do anything apart from bemoan how unfair life is.

Why were you even clicking on PHA anyway if you're so concerned. Why even log onto a poker forum?

I've had far too much to drink to have this conversation, so I'll just say I'm sorry for the people who have been affected by the Tsunami, just as I am for the poverty stricken people in Africa just like I am for the people who live as slaves in our own country, the world is a pretty brutal place.

Agree with those who say what are we supposed to do?

It's horrible but then where do you make the distinction between events? There's some pretty fucked up shit going on in Libya atm too- which takes precendence?

Come on boys, I mean seriously!!! I know everyone feels pissed off right now but just take a step back and breathe!! You're all mates FFS, well, virtually at least...kind of-ish..you know what I mean!!

I also have friends in Japan and it's a fecking awful tragedy whats happening out there...same with the Philippines, and Twin Towers & as already mentioned Libya is in a right fecking mess!!!!!

It would be sooooo fucked up if you all perma-fell out on at thread that's supposed to keep everyone updated with the poor awfulness of the situation in Japan...Don't ya think!

Can we not continue with this, and start again

Please....Do cause I'm new here innit!! I'm also QM on Tuesday and could do with all the support I can get as I'll need it!!

Although the death toll is not yet known, it's likely to be tens of thousands rather than the hundreds of thousands that died in the boxing day tsunami of 2004.

The final death toll in Haiti last year was over 80,000.

800,000 died in the Rwandan civil war in the 90s.

I believe that life is a gift and, while there is certainly a time for melancholy and quiet reflection, we should spend most of the time we have enjoying ourselves. You never know when it will be snatched away.

To be fair to Alex, I can see why he was offended by Gatso's post though.

Generally, although I have seen a few bad taste jokes around on this disaster, I'd say the volume of those is far less than to other recent events. None on here either, and none deleted.

Quite a shock for everyone I think. Saw this one last night. Just remarkable
