EVE players able to donate in-game ISK to Pakistan flood relief

Well, I'd send them some money, except Pakistan says they don't need America. And I agree with them. So I will respect them by not sending a dime. I wish them well.

"EVE players able to donate in-game ISK to Pakistan flood relief"

If i'm correct, it says "able to", not "forced to" or "have to".
So, unless some third party is forcing you to donate, stop being dbag and brag about how you won't help.
Some people just have no limits.

Fresnoboone,

Morality isn't give and take. If you help someone because you expect help in return, you're being about as kind as a car salesman. You've turned it into a transaction, something to be bartered with.

Here, you're given the option to provide human beings relief without having a political affiliation attached to it, without having a name attached to it, without it costing you, as a donor, anything concrete. How often does a virtual currency get to be used to do something truly worth-while in the world?

This is an astounding event. For gaming, for people, for digital universes and how they can effect the world at large. Don't let pride and political rhetoric ruin it. This is cyberspace space-ships helping living, breathing human beings survive a disaster, for f**k's sake. If this isn't a step in the right direction, nothing is.

I really think CCP needs to be applauded for this. What a brilliant idea.

While I applaud people who want to help the poor people of pakistan...I honestly couldn't care what happens to them. Why? Because every time we help someone from that region as people and not our government they smack our hands as if we're bad children. I'm not saying people should do things hoping for thanks but when your constantly smacked down and talked down too and treated like crap by countries you've attempted to be kind too for no other reason other than the fact they needed and asked for help...why the hell should I care after a while?

Pakistan dug themselves into a whole politically and unfortantely now their people are going to pay for it. Christian or Islam or whatever it doesn't matter...if they like to be so religious and look at things from a faith point of view perhaps God is trying to say something to them.

I pray for the poor innocent people getting screwed over this but...I still dont plan to give them a dime of my money.

This is very disheartening for me to see. Yes CCP will use this for PR, yes the Pakistani government has openly rejected US support but honestly why would you not donate to a charity that is helping flood victims? They didn't ask to be flooded, they didn't bring this on themselves. It truly saddens me to see people who put a political twist on this and use it as justification for not donating. If you don't want to donate that is totally fine but do not, do not, say that because of their governments actions against out government is grounds for not helping victims of a flood. Those victims don't give a sh** about anyone government what they care about is their continued survival and the confined survival of their loved ones. Correct me if I am wrong but this country was founded on the idea of the LIFE liberty and the pursuit of happiness. What exactly is the problem with us being the worlds food bank? Someone has to. Also this article is Not about the US government or it's international aid policies it is about an independent CHARITY giving money donated VOLUNTARILY out of American citizens own pockets, not a tax, so please can your political rhetoric and just be happy that there are people who are much kinder and posses more empathy than you or the world would be a dark dark place. What CCP is doing is fine, what the charity is doing is great and I don't see why any of that has to do with the US government, taxes, politics or religion. Everyone speaking out against the aid of helpless civilians really has some issues. This is not the place for hate.

One more thing, people from Pakistan sending blankets to 9/11 victims wtf? Honestly what the he'll is wrong with you? We are blessed to live in a country that has the resources to handle a tragedy of that magnitude. We should never dream of expecting people who live in abject poverty to send relief to people who work in skyscrapers in one of the biggest, richest, most technologically advanced cities in the world. Seiously. Go f*** yourself. And you say this barely a week after the anniversary of 9/11. Unbelievable.

Find the empathy and pity and human concience within you and go donate to these victims, and if you don't want to, that is totally fine. But take all ur political BS and shove it up ur a**. Don't insult these people and their situation by turning them into a political object because if you were in there shoes you would be screaming for help, crying like a baby or just lying down to die. Truely the emotional and physical fortitude of people who are victims of these natural disasters Dulles me with awe and respect. Go. Donate. Or just stop hating on people who are.
