Maybe their donations are political in nature giving a message of "see, we're the good guys who do nice altruistic things in general." Thanks for that tsunami news though, given that xltronic is my only link to information about the outside world.

Wow, that is a really sophisticated algorithm... taking into account eeevery single cost, in real time too.
Wait a minute... it might just be programmed to continually count higher no matter what.

That is so true and I've been thinking that since the tsunami happened. But, you know, it's not a popular opinion to spread around, people seem to misunderstand... There is loads of disasters around the world at any given time and giving so much attention to this one alone is almost perverse. It's nothing but a way to say "WE HAVE DOUBLE STANDARDS"

to me it just illustrates the power of media to change the world for the better... the willingness of seemingly complacent people to give a damn if they are shown what's going on around them (in a relatively non-partisan context)...

That smiley, or frownie actually, has a strange genetic trait that causes tear ducts to appear on the outside of the eyes.
