Forget Pearl Harbour...

[Washerwoman]

that was just a set up to get the yanks into WW2....

what is happening now...

too many people in distress, nuclear reactors built in unsafe zones where experts told them to hold off...no one listens...

thousands dead and many more without homes...

We are just meagre poker players enjoying each others company...we are warm, well fed, have cars and jobs and brains (apart from Rob) and complain about things that really shouldn't phase us at all...we live in luxury and should appreciate it!

Come on, guys, our problems are MINIMAL...let's get a grip...

we are fools to make war on our brothers in arms

But I,m Charlie Sheen. Forget about that Japanese nonsense..!! Actually i believe from all I,m seeing on the US TV networks they are being very respective of what has happened.I think Entertainment to-night,Inside Hollywood,TMZ have to keep on what there doing but respect this great Disaster.Saturday Night Live rehearsed for a whole week before it happened but I,m sure some of the News Desk was changed and at the end they put up a Red Cross number.
I remember when 9-11 happened and Hollywood Award shows stalled because they would look like crap to accept personal awards after such a catastphromy and SNL and other comedy spoof shows couldn,t continue with comedy including Jay Leno,,etc ,,night time comedy.Not saying this is a comparison to 9-11 to people who lost loved ones.But it is a very serious/significant event in out times.
But the World has stopped and everyone is watching and rightfully so ,,

[QUOTE=Washerwoman;91477]too any people in distress, nuclear reactors built in unsafe zones where experts told them to hold off...no one listens...

I just want to add that Japan is a very intelligent country.It still looks bad but Japan knew of these possible consequences and did there utmost to prepare for such a situation.There are many countries with less B plans who have Nuclear reactors.There are some in California,,, is that not an earthquake waiting to happen ???

There are so many people on those Social Networks saying this earthquake and tsunami is payback for Pearl Harbor and all kinds of other things, which is their right since they have freedom of speech. But for me i still feel bad for all those people in Japan and hope that nothing happens with those nuclear reactors cuz they have been through alot the last couple of days.

That is so twisted. PEARL HARBOR WW11. WTF ? Japan is the only country to ever have a Nulear Bomb dropped on it.And while I think it was just because the GRAND EMPEROR OF JAPAN couldn,t face defeat he sent BOYS to KAMASABI planes into US ships befounds me.They don,t deserve this and people believe so must also want the Jews massacred,,,

I had never imagined US networks were suggesting the current disaster was a payback for earlier military encounters, that is so sad...

I actually was looking closer to home...

These mist covered mountains
Are a home now for me
But my home is the lowlands
And always will be
Some day you'll return to
Your valleys and your farms
And you'll no longer burn
To be brothers in arms

Through these fields of destruction
Baptisms of fire
I've witnessed your suffering
As the battles raged higher
And though they hurt me so bad
In the fear and alarm
You did not desert me
My brothers in arms

There's so many different words
So many different songs
We have just one world
But we live in different ones

Now the sun's gone to hill
And the moon's riding high
Let me bid you farewell
Every man has to die
But it's written in the starlight
And every line on your palm
We're fools to make war
On our brothers in arms


If you can manage to put on the music as an album or a CD, it is truly ethereal and beautiful and deserves time just on its own...

think about it...

He didn't say US Networks, he said social networking sites like facebook where every moron gets his say.

The US Networks IMO are covering it very well with the exception of those that have to politicize everything and are turning it into a Pro vs anti-nuclear power debate and minimizing the devastation in Japan and the continuing dangerous situation with their power plants.

NOt one of the better DIRE STRAITS ALBUMS THERE WW.

JUST GO PICK UP TTHE DOUBLE LIVE ALCHEMY and that covers a lot but you still need

Dire Straits, (Parts of Communique), Making mOvies (Probably the best song writing wise) - and Love over gold


HEARING CRAP LIKE JAPAN is getting paybacks reminds of the idiot church in Kansas with Fred Phelps who likes to protest people who got killed fighting for our country, or killed by sexual orientation or just about any stupid thing he can, the recent shooting of GIfford (the poltician and the others that got killed) they wanted to protest the funeral of the 9 year old girl (The one born on 9/11) that got killed,

If I understand right Japan is our friends and MY GOD WHO COULD WISH ANYTHING LIKE what is coming across on the news to anyone and Im sure we havent even seen the most horrific things. Its just all very very sad, and talk about a bad beat, imagine this is your time on earth and what happen in Japan is the cards you get delt. Really trivializes a lot of the crap we all complain about every day. IT WILL BE DECADES BEFORE THINGS ARE RIGHT AGAIN THERE JUST LIKE HAITI VERY VERY SAD

[Washerwoman]

Lol, Rob, are you teaching your grandmother to suck eggs...AGAIN I already got all those albums...

And yes, Frosty, my sweet, you must be right...it's just most of the people saying these things are in the USA...
