1. Posting a status message like this in your FB account:


XXXXXXX XXXXXXX: XXXXX XXXXXX: saw ds blogs in twitter from koreans.1 of d koreans said " hav u heard the news? The monkey island Philippines is flooded. I hope the rain will nver stop to drown those monkeys" all of them laughing!! Anoder korean said" ...............they will all die because monkeys cannot swim" then laughed..Pls pass ds msg Send as many as u can! koreans in our country dsnt deserve our hospitality(reposting)


First off, I saw this "blogs in twitter" that you folks are talking about and it could easily be fake. And even if it's not fake, making a hate campaign to ALL Koreans because of "this blogs in twitter" doesn't just make us NOT ANY DIFFERENT from this irrelevant poster it also makes us terribly stupid for actually wasting our time and energy on "this blogs in twitter" when we have people dying at this very moment who could use our help.

So why don't we all just ignore the haters (imaginary and real) and focus on helping get things done? You know, like getting off of your computer reposting chismis and go out, help people?


2. Not learning from this experience. If we continue to throw your garbage everywhere except the right place, then we're not helping. If we continue to demolish our forests like there was no tomorrow, then we're not helping. If we do not think of long term solutions fast, then we're not helping. If we vote for leaders who don't have the environment as a top priority in their platform, then we're not helping.


3. Not giving a shit. But we all know we can't do much about this part, don't we.
