Yahoo News Comments: Flood In Pakistan

The story claims that 1/5th of Pakistan is submerged. The relief effort is described as being 'sluggish'. That coupled with the only half a billion dollars the UN is looking to gather. This is certainly a tragedy; hopefully the world can step it up and start helping our fellow humans during their time of need. That aside, many of the comments I read on this story are—funny, disturbing, nasty, bigoted, stupid—well, you get the idea. Here is a list of the ones which stood out the most....enjoy ("enjoy" may not the right word):

(Disclaimer: This website does not condone or endorse the following comments, they are being listed to primarily show the stupidity of others).

"great time to rape some pakistani girls. its lawless right now, go ahead paki's, rape em girls. hahaahah"

"It is an act of God and we do need to stop helping the countries that will spend our relief money on efforts and weapons to fight us. History shows that those we help to stand up, we will later have to fight."

 

"i hope all pakistanis get suffocated by gods earth"

"God, The Living God alone can help this people! Payers does miracles!"

"@#$% pakistan. let the people die"

"God is drowning the non-believers just as what happened when Moses safely crossed the Red Sea and the enemy in pursuit were denied passage or pity and were drowned like rats !"

"God bless everyone! We are praying for you all. We should come togather as one nation instead of fight and laughing at one another. God bless us all and help us get though the hate and problems."

"i'm pretty sure those towel heads deserve it..."

"The Lord works in mysterious ways. I count my blessings everyday and he protects me and my family. Maybe the message is being sent."

"Just another opportunity for the libs to be helpful and generous, with other peoples money!!!"

"God is angry now !"

"And God said: let the flood waters cleanse the Earth of Evil doers!!!"

"when they die its one less terroist to worry about"

"thatl teach em war ridden hytpricte ehads not to try anything again. let em be. they wanted rain from the gods and they got it..."

"God is sending a message. Next up is an 8.0 earthquake in Israel."

There is an reason that God, bigotry, and bad spelling go together so well, anyone want to take a guess at what that reason is? Anyways, here is a random comment to show that not everyone who comments on Yahoo News is a bible-thumping bigot—just most of them.

"Since when does Muslim = terrorist? There are fundamentalists in every religion, INCLUDING Christianity. Don't forget the Crusades.

"Here's more food for thought - if you had grown up in Pakistan, do you think you would be a Christian? Or revert to Christianity, knowing only the religion of everyone around you?

Go pick up a National Geographic featuring Pakistan and educate yourselves, you pricks. You'll find not everyone lives in a world where voting actually works, or where human rights and thoughts are respected. And that has NOTHING to do with religion."
