There's always seems to be that one ignorant idiot in serious videos. It kinda makes me angry at some of those people.

Ugh. Don't remind me. I have one contact on MSN who acts so insensitive about the earthquake-tsunami issue. Well, thank God I have more reasonable people in MSN to talk to about that.
Anyway, last night I was chatting with a relative who is in Japan (Yes, some areas still have Net and power there). They were still suffering earthquakes at that time. She was still up because she couldn't be at ease from them. People panicked, and possibly still are. I'm gonna have to try and hear from her soon, now that's it's noon there (by the time I post this message).

I hope your relative in Japan is alright.

I have a friend in Yokohama. He said his work's third-story floor was cracked, but he's otherwise fine. That's in Tokyo in case you don't know.
Of course some American thought it would be smart to take pictures of the tsunami...

And of course they want to cut funding to the pacific tsunami warning centre..

Great. Seems like natural disasters make countries show their true colours.
I didn't expect anyone to come running to NZ's aid when the Christchurch quake hit, but at least there were people who asked if I was ok (even though if I live absolutely nowhere near Christchurch).
Sev:
All my Military friends overseas are safe and apparently theirs a report out saying that all US military personnel in the mainland are accounted for. So if you got military friends in japan and haven't heard from them they should be alright and are already organizing relief efforts.
