Is that how you read it? Take that stick out your ass dude. Natural disasters just don't get a rise out of me. I sympathise in theory of course. But it's not heartfelt.
This is normal. Did you feel
heartfelt sympathy with the people in the part of China the other day where a quake also hit? What about the people in Christchurch New Zealand a few weeks before? Or what about the people in Haiti, Turkey, Iran and Shichuan China in 2008?
I mean I'm sure you sympathise with these people too in theory.. but it's not heartfelt.

That's bullsh*t. Lot's of people in Japan are not affected directly. People in Kyushu definitely aren't unless they have family up North.
South Korea is just a boat ride from Kyushu are you going to tell me they were affected too?
Just because you're Japanese doesn't mean you're affected. That's just complete and utter crap.
If you're affected then it's nationalism. That's all.
It's the same with you and 9/11
