Yep horrible situation but I feel as sorry for them as I feel sorry for the people frozen in time in Pompei - I just don't understand people that feel sorry for people that they never meet and have zero relations to, to me you guys are a bunch of prententious hippies.
As I said, horrible situation and yep very unfortunate that it had to hit one of the poorest countries, but I still don't feel sorry for anybody in haiti. 
The opinions posted in Getbig are very different than what the average person posts in Facebook, Stark - you know that. No one is bawling their eyes out, but I'm sure some people are being real when they feel sorry for the poor bastards. Again, not to the extent where they need counseling, but enough to express sympathy and / or perhaps make a donation for the victims.
Death and disaster are commonplace. And the reaction of people toward them always runs the whole gamut, with a few actually getting some kind of pleasure out of the victims' misery, to a few on the other end of the scale who really get upset, to the majority who are saddened to an extent and do something about it, be it making a post about it or whatever.
Sure, some people use it as an excuse for attention whoring, but there are also others who actually do something about it. Not all of the latter are pretending or putting on a show.
