eleanor Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 [color=darkslateblue] So, now that the tsunami has come and gone, I just thought I'd bring up the topics of the results of the tsunami. (If this is a bad thread since there's already a topic about the tsunami in general, then by all means do whatever with it) Recently, most of the things I've heard of are all the homeless people (obviously), thousands of stray dogs wandering the streets, masses of dead bodies, and the rumor that orphans whos parents died in the tsunami are being kidnapped and sold into the slavery/sex trade (how vile and corrupted would you have to be to do that?). I've been watching Andercon Cooper's show for a while now, so I just though I'd make it a thread. >_> Any comments?[/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sol-Blade Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 [SIZE=-3]Whoa, I knew about all that but...they are taking orphans and turning them into sex slaves? Whoa, situation needs to be remedied...like very soon. That's just horrible. Anyways, so the death count is now over what? 160,000? And still climbing? It's just one bad situation after another over there.[/SIZE] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mykul Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 well yeah orphans that relief workers dont find are meeting bad fates. dont think uniformed soldiers and red cross are taking kids from shelters and selling them. and another interesting bit of information for any soccer (or futboll) fans. zinedine zidane was on a beach when the tsunami hit. one of the best players in the world. i dont know if they found him yet or not.

eleanor Posted January 7, 2005 Author Share Posted January 7, 2005 [color=darkslateblue] The whole orphan kidnapping thing is a rumor, but of course it is a very possible one. Sadly, I have no doubt it may be happening.[/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delta Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 [COLOR=#B33D79]Yeah, and it might be one of the few options open for those who were left in the wake of the tsunami. *shudder* Say, didn't Maldives' government say that they were running low on potable water and that communicable diseases were spreading in evacuation centers? Am I right? Was it Maldives? Love and Peace![/COLOR] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest PunkOtaku Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 Wow...selling orphans for sex slaves???? It very well could happen, and it's just sad that that's what this world has come to. I mean, really! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably haven't found the body because most of them got washed away. So far they have only found 12 lieing on the beach. Horrible tragedy that sadly no one saw coming. As for turning Orphans into Sex Slaves, I could see that happening on a lower scale, I doubt they could steal them from the centers though, they'd have to pick them up off the ground themselves I would think ;/ Still really sad though.

DeathBug Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 Thanking Heaven for small blessings, most of the industrial areas of the victem countries weren't damaged. The humanitarian cost is overwhelming, but aside from the tourism industry, their economy won't suffer inland. Yeah...that's about the only positive scenario.

natetron46 Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 At least people are giving money. Thats the good part, alot of money has been pledged to the recovery and repair efforts, as it should be. Now we can only hope that as much as has been pledged will be delivered.

Guest Shadowhawk Posted January 11, 2005 Share Posted January 11, 2005 Though the tragedy of the Tsunami is bad, there are far worse situations happening in Sudan, amongst other places, that could require more attention. The Tsunami relief will be concluded in a month or so, then people will change their views to a different matter. An unfotunate turn of the events, the worst Natural Disaster in centuries.

casandra Posted January 11, 2005 Share Posted January 11, 2005 the thing about kidnaping orphans is true, I saw it on the news. :( They managed to save 20 kids, that's how they knew it wasn't just a rumor. I think it's great that so many people are getting together and collecting money and so, but it's kinda sad that it takes something as big as this to make them do it Still keep the money rolling :) Casandra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
