I made a comment on the tsunami disaster in the Indian Ocean and the hatemail came flooding in. Get it? Wow, I made humor out of tragedy. How offensive. People just love finding ways to get pissed off. They don't care what it is. They wake up in the morning and intentionally seek out something to get on their nerves.

Subject: jackass..
I used to respect you and your website. Sure it was a rip-off of Maddox, but
who the hell cares. It was still funny. Then I'm browsing through your
hate-mail cause I find it funny. Then i come across a hatemail about you
bashing the tsunami that his killed over 200,000 people. THAT IS A SHITLOAD
OF PEOPLE. Not only have the lives of 200,000 people been claimed, but
millions have been affected. Whether they lost all of their possesions or
they knew someone that has been killed. Do you have no compassion?? I didn't
think so. Not a jackass like you, whose so tough behind a computer where you
think your an absolute fucking genius. But what would you do if someone saw
you on the street, huh?? Pull out your laptop and see if that helps you??
Yeah good luck.
Plus do some research before you say this didnt affect anyone in North
America. Maybe if you pulled your head out fo your ass you would realize
that Thailand and that area are one of the hottest tourist sites on the
planet. Man all you had to do was turn on CNN for 5 minutes and see all the
Americans who have died.
So next time before you start typing again on this website maybe think a
little.
Two hundred thousand is not a "shit load" lot of people.
Compare that tiny fraction to the drastic impact the tsunami had on earth's concern towards the suffering going on in the world:
People put so much stress on the tsunamis being a cause of worldly suffering. You're sad because a few thousand people didn't know how to surf, but what about Ahackmed Muhammad that just died of leukemia in Czekestolivaiastan? Aren't you sad about him dying? What about his family? Don't you care about their suffering? You heartless, cold piece of trash.
Nobody gave a shit about the world until the tsunamis came along and made the newspapers. It's bullshit. There are a lot of people suffering out there, and there's not much we can do about it, so live your god damn life. Let's take a look at the graph of actual world suffering:
As far as suffering goes, the tsunami had zero impact because every single human on the planet suffers. There are six billion people out there and none live perfect, happy lives. Everybody suffers, it's part of being a human.
You could say, "Some people suffer more than others." But it's all relative. If a starving kid in Africa loses a hunk of bread, he'll cry for hours. If a rich American like.. say.. me.. loses a hunk of bread, I go, "Fuck.. my fuckin' bread. Dammit." And walk away. Suffering is relative, so stop comparing your level of suffering to theirs - we live in two different worlds.

Subject: you are wrong and ignorant
People care about these things because they care about others suffering. If we can learn how to end suffering for other people, we can in turn eventually end suffering for ourselves. We're alone on this world and we need to learn to help eachother and get a more worldcentric view of life and existance. I'm sorry to hear you're so shallow as to helping others from suffering and when the time comes with you suffer, I hope somebody forgives you.
Hey granola breath, I'm no philosopher, but I believe that suffering requires life. So it seems logical that if you want to end suffering, why not just end life?
You should be happy that 200,000 people died. It's a great start. Now keep the ball rolling! Try running for president and passing a law that says every citizen of America is allowed to tote up to fifty nuclear warheads at any given time.
It seems a lot more effective than your current methods, considering your movement has been around since the sixties and the only thing you've moved is six thousand gallons of THC through your brain. Stupid dumb hippies.

Subject: How Dare You.
How dare you make fun of this tragedy I knew people who knew people that were involved directly with it and i am fine with everyting on your site except your terrible commits about the tsunami that killed hundreds of peoples lives dumbfuck. No wonder your a sad kid with no friends becaus ewhile everyone is sad about it you are making jokes, dont you read the paper Its 200,000 people not 50,000. Oh thats right you probably cant read anyway loser. If you could you'd probably feel different because of all the stories they tell you and how much suffering is going on over there there are actually people dying and starving. I hoep you suffer as bad as them and see how it feels
-gh
You're right, the media pumps out bullshit and we're supposed to read it and be terribly shook up about the whole thing because that's how they get their ratings up. Too bad stuff like that happens every three milliseconds. But if someone gets sad about those things, he's considered to be depressed and pessimistic. It's only appropriate to be sad about something if the media throws it in the spotlight. What about all the other people starving and dying? What about the prostitute locked in my closet? Doesn't anyone feel sad for her? NO! Because she's not on the news! The world is one big pulsating tragedy and the only possible way I can maintain sanity in it is by shielding myself with a thick membrane of shit humor.

not only 50,000 people died, but 200,000 now. is that a tragedy yet? is it worthy of you not being an ass about it? what about the millions of people starving that will probably die anyway. so what if 200,000 people die, that doesnt account for all the millions of starving people with no homes. get your facts straight and learn a few things
ps your site sucks
tj
Wow, people in poverty-stricken third world countries are starving and have no homes. Does this really come as a big shock to you? It's not like they're accustomed to relaxing in their spa after a fine dine at Dorcia. I bet a lot of it is a big global insurance scam. They never had food, they're given the opportunity to lie and say they had food but it got washed away, they lie and get food. I'm sure many of them actually lost things, but I have no doubt that thousands of people who had nothing before the flood are claiming that they had something so they get in on the cash. I'm not blaming them. Hell, I'd do it in a second. If Montana flooded, I'd be first in line to say, "Yeah, I had a $900,000 summer home that went under. Plus fifty hot naked lesbians at my disposal who all washed up on a beach near Great Falls."

Subject: tsunamis
Okay I don't get it. How can you make like the tragedy is no big deal. It is such a big deal. Don't you get it? I can't believe how ignorant someone would have to be if they were actually serious about what you said.
See, mr ninjapirate, you have to put yourself in their shoes. What if you were them and your whole family was just washed away and you have no clue if they're alive or not. Meanwhile you're starving and have no food, house, or anything.. If that doesn't make you feel an ounce of sadness, you are a cold person.
All these things happened in the Indian Ocean. That's like ten thousand miles away. I've never been there and I don't know anyone that's been to there. Just because people can study a map and look at some pictures in geography class, they think that they're in tune with the world and capable of being a part the big picture.
As far as I'm concerned, all these events happened on a different planet. The people don't speak my language, they don't dress like me, nothing. For all I know, dying in a tsunami is the ultimate noble death in their culture. Who knows? I don't! It would be the same as twenty two bajillion aliens dying in Alpha Centauri. Would that make you sad?
Me neither. That's exactly how I feel about the tsunamis - completely unaffected, uninfluenced, and unconnected. People strive to feel a part of their community by joining together in light of this "awful tragedy." It's all just because they want to be a part of something and feel connected to the world. Ugh. You fake, greeny dumbasses make me sick.

Subject: Regarding Useless Observations of REALITY
Sadly, this article failed to reach expected standards of intelligence and relevance. Firstly, "50 thousand people or whatever" has now turned into 150 thousand people or whatever and it's unlikely to desist any time soon. Secondly, you do see America declaring a National State of Emergency over it. You guys practically threw your retarded 9/11 bullshit at the rest of the world when a measly 3900 people were killed by a band of people you opressed. Let's give them guns and then cry when they learn how to use them. And obviously you need the Tsunami to effect you before you can actually learn to care. Well it will. There's going to be massive reforms and prices are going to soar because now your country is unable to exploit literally millions of 3rd world countries' people and their resources. So your theory that time is what makes people care is completely irrelevant. People care because hundreds of thousands of people are dead and millions more have nowhere to live.
Way to turn my comment about tsunamis into an attack on my country and "our" exploiting foreign workers. Too bad there is no "our." Sure I live in America, but do you see me personally going over to Indonesia and exploiting workers? Hell no. I'm just some guy sitting around minding my own business and dealing with my problems. Your country buys more Nike products than I do so shut your cockhole and stop being a dummy.

Subject: Reality
People do care about the people that die over time, but it is a different situation. They are dying of car accidents, and smoking etc.- which are usually the fault of one or more people involved. Shit is being done about it. We are one of the richest countries in the world- and the ones hit are one of the poorest. Even as of the time your article was posted, 150,000- not 50,000 people were estimated dead. It is now expected to be more. Have you seen the fucking pictures of what the tide brought in? It's not something to joke about. Billions of dollars in damage to third world countries requires a state of emergency, you moron.
Most of the time the shit you write is funny, and sometimes it is hillarious. But that wasn't. And I imagine I am one of many people who are sending you a response to that, but you need to hear it.
There are "fucking pictures" of what the tide brought in? Like hot nude beach sex pictures of fifty thousand lesbians getting naked? I need to get cable more often. What's with the hot naked lesbians theme? I don't know what's up. I think I'm losing my mind.

Subject: hey idiot
Th tsunamis shit was below the belt and you know it. The only reason you put it there was to offend people, but we're not offended. It didn't work. You are just an idiot kid who tries to offend people by making fun of things that you think we take seriously. Yeah we take things like that seriously but when we read bullshit like that we just shake our heads and aren't offended. You just try way too hard man so chill out and write some things that will be actually funny.
People think I try too hard with this site, but that's totally wrong. I just have a really weird sense of humor. Like just now, when I wrote that, I laughed out loud at myself. Woah, I did it again just now with that sentence. I can't anymore because I'm thinking about it too hard. Ahh!
For example, this hatemail response is just here on principle. I run an authentic ripoff website and I must adhere to the style set by the other dude. I really don't care what people have to say. I'd rather not respond to hatemail, but it's part of my contract.
It sucks because if I say, "I'm not trying at all! I don't care!" Then I obviously care. I don't know. It's all fucked up. Sometimes I wish I were dead. Actually, no, I wish you were dead. If everyone were dead except me, I'd definitely drive straight to the Playboy Mansion as fast as I could so they're still warm.

"
People dying over there in Sri Lanka or whatever. Fifty thousand
people. Big deal."
Death is important.
"In America, that many people die from car accidents each year. You
don't see America declaring a national state of emergency over it and
begging other countries for money. If a lot of people die in a short
amount of time, it's considered a tragedy. If people die by the
thousands at a steady rate over long periods of time, nobody cares."
If nobody cared, why do we hear about it in the news every single day?
Your head is so... dysfunctional... I actually feel sorry for you...
You should feel sorry for me. Not because I'm insensitivie, but because I caught all your mothers STDs. ZING! Ooo that was bad. It's totally a double diss because it says I fucked your mother AND that your mother has STDs which means she's a SLUT!
Oops, but people with STDs are suffering and we can't make fun of them. Right? Nobody can make fun of anyone these days. I can't say any amount of anything bad about anyone about anything ever. It sucks. I could be like, "tsunamis kill people" and everyone would scream at me, "What the hell, Thilo! You're so insensitive!" Damn right I'm insensitive. The only sensitive part of me is in my pants and it can't contribute to my opinions because I keep it in the dark for that reason.
I'm going to name my kid Tsunami. It'd be great. That or Teriyaki. I'll have two of them. Sue and Terry. And they can be naked lesbians who aren't actually my daughters because then I wouldn't not feel comfortable watching them make out. And my son can be Art. What kind of moron names their kid Art? All this talk of me having hot naked lesbian babies who aren't actually mine or babies is making me horny. Bye.
