To our Friends and fellow gamers in Japan.....

To our many friends, their family members, fellow gamers in Japan., that have been affected by the earthquake, tsunami, and the nuclear reactor problems. Our thoughts are with you in this darkest of hours as you try to make it through this terrible tragedy. Remember you are not alone.

 

JFC calm down man, no need to get so antsy.

Its shocking indeed to see the images on TV, especially if you have been there before. I know that the Japanese people will bounce back from this disaster, they are resilient and hard-working, I am sure they will make this - into a +.

 

I feel terrible for those people. It looks like the Japans land might become useless. The radiation is everywhere, it is just terrible.

 

ERm, Excuse me if I flame you a little:

But please do not say things like that. there has been a lot of mis-information by the media in regards to the radiation levels.

Journalists wall of shame

and finally read this guy blog about the accuracy, or lack of thereof, in the media science reports:

Hi all,
I just wanna say thanks for your support towards Japan.

 

Hello Kamaage, it is very nice to hear from you. You have all my best wishes.

I have donated to red cross to help people of Japan.

 

I thought I'd never say this: Masterpo, thanks for this post.

For a fighting games community like VFDC, who ostensibly shows so much interest in the Japanese way of gaming (but only gaming?), it is a real shame that the front page of VFDC is so purged of any information regarding donating to humanitarian organizations.

I'm trying desperately to reach a friend in Hiroshima, I hope she's all right. My thoughts are with the Japanese people these days.

 

I agree with every single damn word written by Myke here. Babbling about the Japan tragedy here (especially when done by an old fucktard--couldn't have come up with a better way to describe Po) roughly equals to a politician kissing a baby--a gesture that's impossible to disagree but utterly devoid of any real significance.

 

Sometimes its not a matter of news,

Sometimes things are done for a public show of support as a matter of human decency.

We've all sent money and real help to our friends and to the people of Japan. We've all donated through the Red Cross. And
I am still doing it. I intend on making real contributions for the rest of 2011. I have friends in Japan and family stationed there.

But sometimes a public show, a public gesture or overture of support means alot.

Obviously Hyunster doesn't have the culture, up bringing, or sophistication to understand that. His contribution to this thread (considering the nature of the thread) demonstrates that
he is completely devoid of a proper upbringing, perhaps as a result of a broken home.

Boy,sometimes things are just symbolic. And that's all they are meant to be. Obviously a post on VFDC about the tragedy in Japan can't be anything other than symbolic, obviously. The ironic thing is, that in a thread that any civilized, or decent person couldn't possibly disagree with, we still have a few ignorant, uneducated members that find something to complain about.

My thoughts are with Japanese people right now. What has happened over there is a terrible terrible tragedy. The impact on the environment won't be completely understood for some time. The death toll is still rising from the earthquake. There is absolutely nothing wrong with providing a gesture of public concern or support, even if its value is only symbolic and that of a gesture.

Hyunster, didn't yo mama at the very least teach you, if you don't have anything good to say, then don't say anything at all? I'm assuming by your behavior on this board that you don't know who your father was, so that explains why you don't know how to conduct yourself as a man. But basic manners should've helped you on this one.

People are hurting, and all you have the good sense to do is make another failed attempt at attacking MasterPo. Y don't U
get over it, go get yourself checked, because you've got problems. Reading these posts, its always clear who paid attention in school and who did not. Perhaps the day the teacher was talking about personal and moral social diplomacy you skipped class and was somewhere trolling. Hyunster I know its hard, considering your socio-economic status, but why don't you find a way to man-up.

In this moment of need and national tragedy for the Japanese, why don't you stand with me in a symbolic overture, a gesture, a cyberspace moment of public solidarity with the people of Japan

 

my prayers go to japan. may they come out of this even better.

OUUUU HYUN! he told you!!!

 

I met a Japanese guy over Xbox Live whilst playing VF5 and we became good friends I even visited him once. After this tragedy I noticed he hasn't been online and he's always online.

I'm thinking the worst and my thoughts go out to the Japanese people

 

I have no idea what he told me since I didn't read. But let me just say I had made donations to Katrina, Haiti, and Japan as well as others over the years. Thousands of dollars in fact. Not saying this to brag (certainly possible that others on this site have given more) but to clarify the context of my posts. And the taxes I pay probably goes to Po's welfare checks as well.

As an unrelated note, Kenny, an animated short I made will be shown at Anime Boston next month. (Most likely right before whatever Monty comes up with.) Hope you and your friends get to check it out.

First of all Myke, my response was to Hyunster. But I understand if you feel the need to come to his defense.

Maybe your pointed response to me was because you thought I was responding to your post, I was not.

Secondly my assertion that "There is absolutely nothing wrong with providing a gesture of public concern or support ..." was in response to Hyunster's calling my a "fucktard and his explicit proposition that my post was devoid of any real significance. So my assertion was totally appropriate, given that English is your first language. In other words I had every right to respond in the way I did.


However, If you would like that lesson in hypocrisy, I can write that Chapter 2 for you mate. Again, if you followed this thread from the beginning, you would plainly see Hyunster out of nowhere attacked me. Instead of you having words for him, you come at me. What's up wit dat mate?


Its all good. It just shows you're the average mate. I can't fault you for that. MasterPo is a bandwagon and you want to jump on like everyone else. How did it feel?

At first I was a little put off by your response and defense of Hyunster, now I just feel sorry for both of you cats. I just put up a post showing a symbolic gesture of support for the people who are suffering in Japan, and I get attacked by
Hyunster, and then by the Webmaster. Wow I can expect that kind of thing from Hyunster, but you're showing a few colors I didn't know you had.

Touche mate, good attack on an unarmed monk

@Myke and @Hyunster Check this out

We know that where there is no contention, there is neither defeat nor victory. The supple willow does not contend against the storm, yet it survives Weakness prevails over strength. Gentleness conquers. Become the calm and restful breeze that tames the violent sea. From the crane we learn grace and self control. The snake teaches us suppleness and rhythmic endurance. The praying mantis teaches us speed and patience. And from the tiger we learn tenacity and power. And from the dragon we learn to ride the wind. Life sustains life, and all living creatures need nourishment. Yet with wisdom, the body learns to sustain in ways that all may live.No life is insignificant Perceive the way of nature, and no force of man can harm you. Do not meet a wave head on. Avoid it. You do not have to stop force. It is easier to redirect it. Learn more ways to preserve, than to destroy. Avoid, rather than check. Check, rather than hurt. Hurt, rather than maim. Maim, rather than kill. For all life is precious. Nor can any be replaced


This is the way of Shaolin, and I am the Last Monk

 

Aaaaand... this is how a thread with a few nice words for the Japanese, turned into a Hyunster vs Masterpo shitfest. All I can see, thoug, is Hyunster posting once, Myke having the patience to explain things (You are like MvC3 Thor, "I shall never tire!") and masterpo's *Ignored User* messages.

Go back on track, or close the thread please. Just my idea.

On the topic though. As much as I realize the tragedy in Japan, there were other events in other places recently as well. I'm not saying one shouldn't be concerned, just don't assume one doesn't care due to not being vocal about it.

When stuff was going on in Australia, I contacted my friend there to ask if he's OK, and asked on VFDC about Myke's well being. When stuff is going on in Japan, I checked whether Jigohro went there already, and if his friend living there is alright. Now that I know all of those people are fine (well, except for Myke's hand ) I'm content.

All the best to Japan then, hopefully they will be fine in no time.

 

I vote for an admin to remove all unrelated messages from the thread. Seriously, what is wrong with you people.
