I donated today to Japan..Was gonna send $50.00 but fees with adding money on my card dropped my amount to $44.00 so I sent $40.00..Who else has donated yet?
It has to do with the way God created the Earth.
Not just Japan but Asia in general as a whole happens to sit in a bad spot that is highly active and gets alot of bad weather and earthquakes.
Bad news..Seems you can't just send X amount of food through RedCross..They only take food donation from stores or corporations and these MUST be palatized on large pallets in bulk..You can't send individual care packages..So I guess I will have to send them money instead. I thought you could...
Masashi is FINE:) Furthermore (and this shocked me some) He is as of yet NOT delaying releases, Naruto's latest chapter is out. I thought I had posted this here but I guess not..I did on Fandom but here it is:

If we got any Japanese members they could translate Japanese news from NHK NHK 2 and TBS.
NHK World (English) is filled with too many reruns so you can't always rely on that for news. Yokoso News is good but he is so busy and also alot of the press confrences on the Japanese news are from...
Update: Japan air force ABORTS the chopper dumping water on reactor 3..It's not safe enough to try this. Reactor continues to smoke.
We need feed back from Japanese members here if we have any.
Took a nap earlier but here is some news.

Japanese English news has been nothing but reruns, Hasn't even reported this morning's earth quake at Yokohama prefecture yet. I had to watch Japanese NHK because for some odd reason the English NHK was down for 7 hours on UStream and that is when I saw the earth quake in Yokohama..When they...

Yeah..Sai is needed now and not just a prick as he was before, and also most likely Naruto would gladly risk his neck to save him (he did in one of the movies) But as for the flying thing? Um they could do that since they was kids (before Sai joined in) Did you forget they do these GIANT jumps...
That is the thing to do:), Japan doesn't need money yet, They needs food,water,blankets, and possibly blood and some medical supplies.
Update: And toliet paper (this needed badly)
