My thoughts are with the victims and their relatives.
I thought the region was already bad enough, but it seems it can always get worse.

Why are we giving money and other goods? They don't help us with our disasters. Meh.

Re: Flooding Kills Thousands in Pakistan
a) Granted - due to the single "incident" causing their distress they get more spotlight and probably and overproportional share of aidWhat makes these people so much more special than all the others we ognore as they die of disease or starvation every single day?
b) not being in the spotlight every day does not necessarily mean that other starving people are "ignored". Personally I try to "stread" donations and NGOs and government organizations certainly also have the ongoing issues on their radar screen
c) Not directed at you specifically (as I do not and cannot know what you do or do not do) but sometimes I have the feeling that statements as the one you made are used as an excuse to neither help the ones that get more air time nor the ones that are "ignored"
Re: Flooding Kills Thousands in Pakistan
Nothing. It's just they are currently in the spotlight. I'd share the same sympthy if you wish to post any articles dealing with other groups of people.What makes these people so much more special than all the others we ognore as they die of disease or starvation every single day?
