i have no idea how you can compare these two situations.
they're like apples and chainsaws.
one is nature, the other one tears shit to shreds.
I don't think you really saw my original point before the thing side tracked.
Do you think it's any less/different suffering those that get ravaged by an earthquake feel? They should be given similar global aid as in here. Now, especially if they're in an unimportant (considering the business view) country, they'll only get some crumbs and a pat on the shoulder: "Too bad. Sadly we must spend our money on sports arenas and entertainment districts and crap like that, so we can't spare any." Before one's own gains are at stake, no one's interested in what happens to the neighbour.
Victims are victims are victims. Suffering is the same no matter what the source. All this going on just feels like so much hypocrisy to me. What else would I expect from mankind?
