    JAPAN?!!!?!! Take a look around you son!....OUR COUNTRY could use the $ too!!!




    Let Japan worry about itself....they aren't living on borrowed time like the US is.

    and NO amount of money is gonna get rid of all that radiation!

    I work for the Red Cross and have already donated, but wanted to say thank you.

    Anyone who has seen one image of what is going on over there and doesn't feel the need to do something, well they must have a heart of stone.

    Oh and I have Ed's signature on my Who bandana, this is definitely legit. :D He must like to doodle, because he drew a little extra something on mine as well. :lol:

    Sorry brother I love this my new country the USA and I always help when I have the chance, but I would like to apply the golden rule with the people of Japan.

    One should treat others as one would like others to treat oneself.

    That's amazing of you!

    I'll be happy to make the donation with no need to be counted in for the contest (even if I'm drooling for that Lance Mercer's book of yours :lol: ).

    I guess a couple of direct links to those indicated organizations would help everyone and make it direct ;)

    Thanks for proposing it in the first place!

    what the f..k you're talking? are you sick?

    anybody has got his own problems and it's no secret we all gonna die one day - and you are saying that there are ones among us who deserve help (because they're inhabitant of your nation) and ones who don't just because they're f..ked up anyway (and not American)? and you really mean it?

    of course there's no amount of money that is gonna get rid of all that radiation.of course there's no chance in saving all the people's lives. but if give a little something to those who really need, at least we make sure they can see a little light and feel a little better. and even if a single person is suffering a little less - it's worth every f..kin' cent.
    by giving those red cross guys and doctors the chance to head over and reach a hand to the ones in need - we can help them to keep their human dignity - that's one of the most essential human rigths

    Lenz :clap::clap::clap::clap::clap:

    Crazy Breed - is that honestly your view? Japan aren't living on borrowed time but the US is?!?!? Wake up! The US is on its arse but it won't collapse. The UK is the same but both countries will come out of the recession is time. Japan is a hell of alot worse state than America or the UK following the earthquake, tsunami & now nuclear meltdown. If you believe any different your incredibly ignorant.

    yeah..I'm sick....sick of watching my country fall to shit while my Gov. gives away billions to fucking Israel & other nations instead of fixing up our own fucking country that is dire need of EVERYTHING!!! And we are BROKE!!!!!

    and the red cross is fucking corrupt!!! I wouldn't send them a fucking dime!! you know how much $ was donated to them after 9-11-2001 that NEVER went to any of the families?? MILLIONS!!!! and they did the same shit with Haiti!!

    so yeah....I think it's stupid to run to your neighbors house with your water while your own house burns to the fucking ground!!

    so maybe you should compare your house to the ruins that were left to the ones in Japan - then you should definitely recognize that there is no way in comparing the situation over there with the situation in your country - and I didn't say a single word about the radiation and the dying of human beings

    I won't say a word about anybody who does not donate anything - but telling other people, who try to help millions of people suffering, that the USA is much more in need of the money, is just pure shit. you ridicule those people (in this situation) - great man, really great

    I'll send in a donation this weekend.

    I believe that the Red Cross is a great charity and I am deeply saddened about what has happened to the people of Japan.

    If this happened to the US I am sure Japan would be one of the first countries to help us.

    Treat others the way you would want to be treated. :)

    Great idea OP and so generous!!!! Good for you. We need more like you around!

    EDIT: I know I shouldn't say anything and keep moving on, but I would just like to say that the "Respect-o-meter" just crashed on Crazy Breed's paranoid ridiculous statements. This guy arq is donating some serious shit for a good cause and you couldn't resist thrusting yourself into it. Unbelievable. After some of the crap I've seen people write about Japan around here and elsewhere, I'm not gonna say I'm embarrassed to be an American (never), but I'm embarrassed that some of these self-centered delusional morons are American. And I think you owe Arq a big fat apology. Alright, enough negativity from me. NICE JOB ARQ!!!!!!
