What's happening in your world?

BRAVO 'thul beings I'd be interested to see that trophy with 'thul beings engraved upon it! At least you didn't get first place as that would have created a dilemma for you all...deciding which one of you got to take it home!!

It's so ridiculous how people just love to push their stereotypical views and stir up old dirty laundry that really has no business with the present. WWII was several generations ago. A natural disaster is not some wrathful divine being's retribution. Victim blaming is such a wonderful waste of breath, also. As if anyone can ever be fully prepared to be slammed by the entire ocean.

I also strongly agree, redchild, but neither was I surprised to read your post and discover some are digging up "old bones" (I loved that insight from Nighteyes! ). As soon as my husband and I saw the devastation in Japan and heard of support coming from the US, we turned to each other and said, "No doubt, there'll be many who distain that help."

For some, old 'hurts' never heal, no matter how much time has passed, and this is so well expressed by the events of the Red Ship War (pre, post and during), I think. Perceived wrongs, no matter how ridiculous they are as seen by others, are still 'wrongs' in the eyes of the 'wronged' and they will never get it no matter how many times they are told.

Better get some school done!
