Why is everyone in these comments so fucking harsh?

a freak earth quake happened because of tectonic plates moving under the surface of the earth. As was the Tsunami and new Orleans. People are dieing and all you can say are mean things...

You all disgust me

H.A.A.R.P. did this

The slaves were not upwardly mobile educationally or financially, they were also denied a heritage of educated parents, so what kind of a society do you think these people could build after they freed themselves from the white Christians?

HAARP?

Those people loved each other like we love our families. That loss could happen to any one of us. To see children in pain or dead. Worst thing

@isocrate27 Maybe I was wrong and if so, I might apologize; but it seemed like you had a "either be a super nationalist or leave" type of mentality, and I couldn't help but become angry. Either way, I know all about Haiti history. It has long been exploited by the United States and France, ecspecially when President Aristide was expelled from his own country by the U.S. because he failed to comply with their arrogant demands. It is all on record.

@AshKnight80 I just asked a simple question without equating anything with anything else. You jumped to conclusion without further debating or further investigation. Wow, maybe debate and forum discussion is just not for you after all. Have you done any kind of study or are you just a plain dropout?

[AshKnight80]

@isocrate27 Wow, yet another person that equates patriotism with following everything the country does blindly. Why would I want to live in Haiti? It isn't nearly as safe as this country. What a stupid argument you made there. If I had a dollar for every time someone said "then why don't you move out?" to me, I would be rich. I'd rather stay here and work to change this country. If you're too brainwashed to see the reality of it, then that isn't my problem.
