My Message from Pakistan

[Quasievil]

Pretty upsetting about the Earthquake, I emailed my contact in Pakistan yesterday.
I thought a few of you may be interested in the reply.

I quote

Dear Bret,

Thanks for sharing our grief, dear God save our area and our lives and there is very high scale level of earthquake here but the God took pity of us and prevent our area and the time of horrible moments is short here approximate one minute and that time we feel that our floors are going up and roof come down ,however our homes didn't affected by this by the grace of Allah and wasn't affected more from this great disastrous and beside this our surrounding provinces and areas are somewhere totally swallowed by earth and there is no any house which remain save and we cannot calculate the exact amount of dead people yet because in some areas it is very difficult to take action immediately due to danger of reattach and you cannot believe that it is expected that one of our province which have 14 villages which was entirely finished and it is also expected that it is the biggest disastrous even then sonami disastrous because in that areas the amount of dead people will reach to approximate half million or more.

Thanks again dear.

God give the patience to our countries people.

Any smart arse Bigot shite will get bad rep in a never ending campaign from me

[Magua]

Well atleast there is some good news to come out of the region. :niceone:

[justsomeguy]

A 7.6 scale quake is bad news in whatever perspective.

I hope everyone pulls through ok.

:calm:

[jazbug5]

I got one too....

Ha ha ho ho.

Dick.

[SixPackBack]

Pass on my heart felt sympathies to your freind, no one deserves the unimaginable horror these recent natural calamities are causing :crybaby:

[Quasievil]

I got one too, it went a little like this:


sorry to soon?

not cool mate

[Sniper]

Sorry to hear that Quasi mate. Its bad when something happens like that and worse when you know them. Hope everything starts to take a turn for the better.

[sels1]

Glad your contact is ok. I think that in this fortunate country we struggle to comprehend what it would be like to be involved in a disaster like this. The numbers of dead and injured are just mind boggling.

A few bucks in the direction of Red Cross or other aid agencies is something positive we can all do.

[MSTRS]

Thanks for sharing that Quasi. It is easy to think that *these* countries 'deserve' this sort of thing, but not so easy to appreciate that most likely all the dead & injured are no different from any of us, just going about their daily lives.

[Hitcher]

It could happen in Wellington. At any time. Imagine not knowing where your friends, family and loved ones were.

[Quasievil]

It is easy to think that *these* countries 'deserve' this sort of thing,

I understand where youre coming from, but people that think like that are brainless and mindless fools and represent the Non thinking population of the western world, they are the people that I despise and pity.

[gamgee]

not cool mate
does that mean i don't get the boots now?

[MSTRS]

I understand where youre coming from, but people that think like that are brainless and mindless fools and represent the Non thinking population of the western world, they are the people that I despise and pity.
Not I. Your post is a timely reminder to those that may, that countries like Pakistan are not full of Muslim terrorists.. Hitcher as usual puts it most succinctly.

[Badcat]

Did i just turn into the site bad ass?

no - but the title of site thoughtless ignorant dick is certainly yours.

[TonyB]

FFS mate, quit while you are ahead. Just because they speak a language you can't understand, have a different religion and a different skin colour than you does not make this any less tragic than if it had happened here.

Sent a message of concern off to Umer at Bel when I heard about the quake. Luckily they are all fine, as they are a long way south of the epicentre. Quasi it sounds like your contact was a hell of a lot closer and they clearly consider themselves lucky to still have a roof over their head. As Hitcher said- this can happen here at any time, and sooner or later it WILL happen. Imagine being surrounded by a city of collapsed buildings full of the dead and dying, and having nothing more than your bare hands to try and dig them out.

Whenever major quakes are reported here I always detect a certain smugness from our media and some authorities- kind of like "look at their shitty buildings and the way they collapsed. OUR buildings are much better built so we'll be fine." Horseshit! Our cities are full of buildings that were built long before engineering for eathquake loads was ever though of. They WILL come down, and so will a lot of newer buildings. The Japanese have found this, as have the Americans and the Turks.

Bad arse maybe. F*ckwit YES! I fail to understand how you can turn this thread into something thats all about you. Do you realise that there are very real people in this world who are facing devastation that most of us could never comprehend, even if we wanted too. FFS mate, build a bridge walk over and face reality - YOU ARE NOT FUNNY!

BTW, all that did was show that both you and MR Skid find it funny that I wrote my GN off.

[tracyprier]

Did i just turn into the site bad ass?
No... just pathetic.

[Lou Girardin]

NZ'ers are the last people to make light of earthquakes.
We're well overdue for a biggie.
Beware of karma gamgee.

[jimbo600]

Cheers Quasi. Man I feel for these people. They are always burdened with natuaral disaters. People on the sub-continent are generally gentle kind folk and I bloody fell sorry for them. Glad your mate over there is OK though.

Hitcher's right tho' it could so easily happen in Welly.

[gamgee]

i didn't turn it into a thread about me, everyone else did! and if the big bad kharma monster comes after me it's taking you down too

God give the patience to our countries people.What an horrific tragedy! Seems to be one after another around the world this year, I am very sympathetic.

Thanks for the inside story Quasi.

[Mr Skid]

bitch bitch, whine whine whine, bitchYou're a skid mark on the collective jockstrap of humanity.

Pass the Persil.

***suck*** ***suck*** ***suck***
sorry, couldn't understand you with that dick in your mouth

[Mr Skid]

sorry, couldn't understand you with that dick in your mouthIs that all you've got?

I'm disappointed.

Go on, have another go.

[Brett]

sorry, couldn't understand you with that dick in your mouth
Well i am under 40 (21) and still think that you are acting like a complete cock. A country has been devastated by a natural event and all that you want to do is say stupid comments and pretend to be a hard ass. Have some feelings, if you can't, then do not offend others on this site. Keep it shut.

[TonyB]

just noticed something about all the people giving me rep, all but one of those that have given me red are over 40 all that gave green are under 40, which i'm guessing is the age at which team america stopped being funny, cause you take life to seriously to laugh, also read 40 ways in critic and you'd understand the 'to soon' comment
This isn't a movie or a book gamgee. Thousands of people have died. It ain't funny. If it happens here in your lifetime I'd love to know if you are still cracking jokes about it.

[Cibby]

Is that all you've got?

I'm disappointed.

Go on, have another go.

tut tut Rhys.. be nice to the poor stupid people.

Quasie i'm so glad you hear that your contacts are ok, I feel for the people over there, we have no idea in NZ>

Thanks

[edit} i just understood the hidden meaning behind your reply Mr Skid.. very sneaky..

[gamgee]

i've deleted the post, so please take this as an apology, hopefully i'm still a kiwibiker at the end of the day, if you think bad repping me is going to make me feel any more apologetic, go nuts

[Cibby]

i've deleted the post, so please take this as an apology, hopefully i'm still a kiwibiker at the end of the day, if you think bad repping me is going to make me feel any more apologetic, go nuts

I dont think people will kick you off the site, worse things have been said.

It is a good thing to learn to carefully choose what you reply to something, expecially if someones loved ones/world disaster are involved... We are all human at the end of the day.

[Str8 Jacket]

i've deleted the post, so please take this as an apology, hopefully i'm still a kiwibiker at the end of the day, if you think bad repping me is going to make me feel any more apologetic, go nuts

Its all good mate, we all make mistakes. At least you have the decency to apologise, it makes you a bigger person for doing so.

[Badcat]

i've deleted the post, so please take this as an apology, hopefully i'm still a kiwibiker at the end of the day, if you think bad repping me is going to make me feel any more apologetic, go nuts

OW - you bad repped me!
oh no - you've really got me on the ropes now!

why did you bad rep me for swearing?
where did i swear at you, Gamgee?

[SlowHand]

Best way to dig out of a hole is to stop and have others pull you out...

It sucks that all these disasters and famine happen and it still doesnt hit home, no matter how hard I try... (by home I mean HOME, Im not a heartless prat)

[gamgee]

why did you bad rep me for swearing?
where did i swear at you, Gamgee?
just answering this question and then that'll probably be the last you hear from me:

My Message from Pakistan | 11th October 2005 09:50 | Badcat | think before you post bud, that's pretty fucked up.

[Brett]

Hey man, dont sweat it, apologies go a long way! I am sure no one is that desperate to hold a grudge! :niceone:

[Quasievil]

Not I. Your post is a timely reminder to those that may, that countries like Pakistan are not full of Muslim terrorists.. Hitcher as usual puts it most succinctly.
