God forbid people should think about how the things they say or do affect others

I'm sure he's a very nice guy and meant no harm (whereas I am clearly a prick and feel obligated to give him some sh!t ), but it shows a monumental lack of consideration for others who have had their lives pretty much ruined or permanently changed for the worse from this disaster.

Basically, he (and everyone else whining about how the worst disaster in Japan's history inconvenienced them) are just being incredibly thoughtless and self-absorbed.

So self absorbed, in fact, he had no problem seeking support from a crowd of strangers on a public forum, and expected people to be concerned with his problems and sympathetic.

Well, sometimes you get criticism instead of hugs.

Oh well.
I don't think the OPs comments were terribly insensitive. What happened in Japan is tragic, but life does move on. I'm not implying that we pretend nothing tragic happened, just that there's no need to jump down the throat of everyone who comments that their life was affected by it in a non-major way.


My comment about your thread obviously wasn't comparing things apples-to-apples. I'm just saying reading his complaint thread isn't exactly cluttering GenDis, when we get stellar threads like that otherwise...
