It seems whining that everything be given to you on a silver platter is not just an American phenomenon. People in India have joined the chorus in demanding that the rest of the world give them whatever they feel they need because of a natural disaster.

"All the government people, the press people, they are just driving past," said one complainer. Another whined, "No one has come to help us."

What has happened to people? Why is there absolutely no responsibility for anything taken by anyone? Are there no "Real Men" left on the entire planet?

Hey Farid Khan, how about getting up off your rear and volunteering to help others yourself? You have time to talk to the press and demand help, but no time to actually help? Syad Hassan, stop taking time to block roads and force journalists to turn around and start building shelters!

Look, this might sound harsh, but hey folks, this is the real world! IT'S NOT SAFE! YOU ARE NOT GUARANTEED SAFETY IN THIS WORLD!

On the other hand, maybe it's just me. I just know that if I were in the middle of a natural disaster (and I have been), I wouldn't even be talking to the press -- I'd be too busy trying to ensure everyone was safe and had food, water, and shelter myself, without asking, much less demanding, anyone else do anything.
