don't be such a big suck. You can tell she is being quite facetious with those last few remarks about the food and the toys.

The truth is if any of those products get shipped to wallmart and there are recalls by mattel and so forth, they end up losing market share.

And those idiots that manufactured the poisoned milk in china. Well lets just say a bunch of them were executed for it. You may think wallstreet is just a bunch of greedy heartless capitalistic people who have no care in the world about anything; essentially though, capitalism is what creates the safe, efficient society in which we live in today. The motivation for increasing market share is tied directly to what the consumer wants. So if you're going to complain, complain to yourself as being the end user who starts this "dreadful" chain reaction.

MUST WATCH

It's 6+ minutes of uncut footage of the Tsunami first hitting a town through complete destruction.

This is the craziest video I've seen so far. It's really close to the action. At times it feels like a movie

Turn the sound on for this one too

I'm not ashamed to say the first thing I did when I heard the news was check my share portfolio. I am as saddened by these tragic events as anyone else, but the reality of the situation is that events like these have an impact on investments, and to suggest that people are 'senseless and out of touch' for having concerns about their finances, as if they shouldn’t on some absurd moral and ethical high ground, is fucking ludicrous.

It's a dog eat dog world. And I will eat your fucking dog.

(repost?)

It's amazing how orderly the Japanese react to this enormous disaster. Yes they are trained for earthquakes but in any other country, it would still be a chaos with only people thinking about themselves.

Pics & captions taken from a Chinese forum.



In front of a public telephone booth, we can actually see this kind of scene.




A stopped subway station, without an uproar, without a mess.





The people proactively observe order, without only thinking of themselves.




An ordinary school, a shelter for the people.




Children and women get priority care.




Transportation is paralyzed, people walking home, these are all 'disaster victims'.



Japanese people sitting on the sides of the stairs, ensuring that the center remains clear and accessible. This is the result of education, not something that can be obtained through GDP [alone].
