All of Japan was/is affected, power shortages, long-distance family ties (most people in Japan have family living all over Japan), shortage of business, sadness in general, etc. Everything is not back to normal

Agreed!

I think Earth_maiden's point is how much people are posting in this thread and how many times a day. Some people here are posting on this thread several times a day whining the same song every time . I think Earth_maiden's point is that people here should be more helpful by using their time to help Japan rather than wasting time complaining here about what they aren't doing. Some people here need to think about what Japan is doing right right now, not what they are doing wrong (delaying releases)

Perth isn't that populated by many Japanese, but seeing it here in my city just made me so sad. Then to come in here and see people complaining just riled me up and made me feel even more upset.

Wow... I know it's bad but sometimes I don't really know how bad until I hear it from someone who is there. So sad... I'm going to do my best to help Japan until it's all over

Sooooo true, I would be mad at her and I don't even live there.

Perfect example, we are still suffering from that eeeeeeeever so slightly with the economy. What makes Japan worse is that homes and businesses alike were destroyed where as with 9/11 it was business buildings (still bad regardless) but when someone's home is destroyed you are left with nothing . More damage was done in Japan than 9/11.

I live all the way in Seattle the total opposite side of New York and in a bigger country and I was still affected. I made A LOT less commission at work due to a drop in the economy thus I had to cut back costs. I had to buy really cheap food which made me lose focus at school and I got sick often. I cried that day and was sad for weeks afterward , and I had to cheer my friend up because her cousin died that day .

9/11 ONLY affected people physically in New York. I'm sure the rest of the country felt it, and especially those who lost loved ones, but **** wouldn't get postponed in CA or FL or anywhere else in the country because of something that happened in NY.

The rest of the US (outside of NY) WAS back to normal in no time, because nothing happened to them for them not to be. The rest of the world just can't shut down because something horrible happened.

I seeeeeeemi agree with this but mostly disagree. Yes those who are physically affected feel it the worse. But you have to remember than Japan is a very connected country and families have family that live all over Japan (lol). So say someone waaaay down south may have had to of closed down their shop to help their mother and because of that business and income is lost for that family, lets say it's a grocery store, those customers now have to travel further to get food = more money for gas to get there which = less money for other things = less money to donate to charity. Everything is a chain reaction especially in a small country like Japan where family ties are everywhere.

If I remember correctly the stock market dropped like a mad man after 9/11 then sent the U.S.A into a recession in which we are still partially feeling the affects of...

Yes the rest of the world can't shut down though something as big as an earthquake in a country where there are A TON of people per square mile, more lives are lost. If a 9.0 earthquake struck in the middle of the ocean obviously only MAYBE one random ship would be affected. But Japan is either the most or one of the most condensed countries in the world so thousands of families have been affected no matter where their family members live.

Have a little bit respect for all of those thousands victims who got their life ended. Imagine someone close to you (a best friend) having to go through that, horrible isn't it? Now imagine your mother, father, brother, ANY family member.

Haha LOVE it I shorten it even more "OMG WTF IS TAKING SO LONG IT HAPPENED LIKE 3 WEEKS AGO GET ON WITH IT"

Yeah, how would you feel if you were Max Matsuura who (as a theoretical example) lost his mother and his factory full of CDs ready to be released that were destroyed yet some selfish whiny people outside his country are like "omg can you please get on with it where is my darn CD!!"

P.S. a few posts back (I think yesterday) I stated, "I'm spending more time helping Japan and am only checking this site once a week" I guess I broke that rule haha. FYI I'm stuck at work right now and it's really slow so I checked up here again cuz I was bored haha
