If God want's most of the people afflicted by this to survive, then they will, if not then theres a reason for it, even if it doesn't seem like. Like the saying ''God works in mysterious ways.'' In the end God doesn't care about how much money is donated towards a cause. @ hammy: sorry for having strong beliefs, and differing opinions than others.. It just makes me mad when idiots like Dorby post in these forums

A meltdown isn't an impossibility as far as I know, so I didn't mean to type that. Rather, I should have said statistical unlikelihood, given the safety precautions built directly into the reactor that go into preventing these types of things.

You have to admit that last part sounded pretty morbid and "oh i'll just leave all the fate to god it's in his hands nothing i can do"ish

Im saying in the end no matter what people do to help, its all in the hands of god. example: you can have 3k people all quit there jobs so they can go to japan to help however they can, but in the process shit happens causing them to stay in the states. IDK about you, but if i went to help someone in a different country and were stopped, I would see that as spiritual intervention. Because if you really wanted to help but something was seriously stopping you, would that not mean you weren't meant to help? Idk though might just be me and my insanity talking lol. ![]() And im not saying don't donate because donations can really help when handled correctly. and nah im 16 ftw

This isn't CT, so normally I wouldn't even bother replying to something like this. However... Your philosophy is so morally bereft it saddens me. You're basically saying we shouldn't help, because the outcome of the event isn't contingent on anything we can do. This is rubbish philosophy. What if you're wrong? The consequences in that case are, we could have helped and saved hundreds of lives, but didn't. If you're right, then the only thing we've wasted is time. There are people in serious trouble, and your balderdash about how we shouldn't do anything is pathetic. For example, Quote:
This implies either 1 of 2 things. 1. God cannot help people (Why call him God then?) 2. God can help people, but chose not to. (What an asshole...) Dig yourself a deeper hole.

Reach your obviously not getting the point of what i said.
and just because people died doesn't mean god didn't want them to survive. It means that was his plan for them, yeah i know it sounds horrible like god doesn't care. But the simple truth is those people that did die in this tragedy are looking down on it from heaven. And i bet you a quadtrillion dollars that they wouldn't trade it for anything. And PS: what i said isn't my philosophy, It's an opinion. And when did i say don't do anything? because it seems like your making stuff up now. I even said in one of my posts that if your going to donate, then donate, because it indeed CAN help. though money doesn't solve every problem which is what you seem to think. EDIT: ''You're basically saying we shouldn't help, because the outcome of the event isn't contingent on anything we can do.'' No your saying that not me. I think everyone should help in any way they can. Though keep in mind that a lot of people can do whatever they want to help, though that doesn't mean its going to help. Which goes for donating, and to be fair praying as well. Though those who offer help in these ways are going to argue that what they're doing does help, Which is completely normal

I'm trying to get a Houston radio station to do something they did for the Hurricane Katrina victims. You have to donate money to listen to a song of your choice (there were guidelines). It was something like $5 for a song the station usually plays all the way up to something like $50 or $100 for something that the station would never play (again...guidelines). It soon turned into a competition of who can donate the most money between two car dealerships then a company said they would match the ending donation amount. I think it was something like ten of thousands of dollars was donated.
The best thing was so that nobody got a free song, they talked about what was going on between song requests.

That's what happened at first in Hurricane Katrina and the lack of help made the situation worse than it should have been

And dorby: dude im done, your obviously just trying to make me mad, which is sad. Because look what thread were in. I honestly don't care what you think about my beliefs as i don't care about yours. SO lets get back on track and talk about the subject at hand. And a lot of what happened with Katrina was Bush's fault as well. Not trying to blame it all on him, but if he would have acted quicker our government could have saved more lives.

Mans0n, you're derailing this thread. You're also taking everything very personally.
Everyone is entitled to their beliefs and opinions, if you want to have a discussion regarding them, go make your own thread. Either that or just drop it.

Let's just settle this.
(1) Whatever your religion, or lack thereof, give your hopes to Japan with whatever methods your religion allows, whether it's prayer, meditation, thought, ceremonial practices, chants, whatever. Some of you may or may not actually do anything, but it's not going to hurt anybody, correct? (2) If you can actually help, do that too along with what I said above. If you have the financial ability to, donate money. If you find another way to help, do that. Also, a lot of people want to help but don't know how they can help , so if you can find a legitimate donation agency or if you can find another way to help Japan, tell everyone; don't keep it to yourself. So, in conclusion, do paragraph (1) and if you can, do paragraph (2) as well. Case settled. Sorry to be picky, but if your making a programming/(computer science) reference, it should be "!=". I figure I tell you now, so that if you do any programming, you don't end up with a parse error by putting "=!" Quote:
EDIT: Hawaii applied for federal aid for the damage. There are "millions" of dollars in damage. They didn't say how many millions though. EDIT2: Here's a quick summary of the damage in Hawaii: http://www.khon2.com/news/local/stor...mHN2F2ZAQ.cspx Last edited by reuben_tate; 03-12-2011 at 04:17 PM.. |
