I'll be yelled at as per usual for this but prayforJapan? No. If you want to help DO something. They want money, aid & food; not thoughts.
THIS. DEAR GOD THIS.

These are nice and all, but what if you can't do anything to help with money, aid, or food? At least try to comfort the Japanese in their time of needs and show them that they are not alone.
If you can't help, stop pretending that you're helping. Prayer is only a way to relieve a guilty conscience. Stop pretending that you're helping when you're simply helping your own conscience.

Which sadly, not everyone do either one of these. American's behavior toward this hasn't been great and I've been especially displeased with some of their behaviors; since there's no way to refute the fact that the Japanese do not deserve this. There are people trying to say this is "payback for Pearl Harbor", saying it helps with the overpopulation problem (Which is full of poo, while this is a tragedy, it will not, in the end, cause a significant decline in population. Even if it was valid, it should not have been said), trying to justify religion as a cause of this (I am not joking on this, go to Youtube, type in GOD IS SO GOOD Japan Tsuanmi and you'll see a bat**** crazy religious fanatic thanking God for this disaster), and being racist while at it. This is not the time for insults or lulz and some people just fail to understand this.
That girl was a troll, who has been making videos parodying extremist christians for quite a while. Her docs were dropped and she's going the way of Jesse Savage.

Actually, if you want to pray, leave a message on a forum or in the comments section of a news article. There are Japanese people both inside and outside of the country right now who read English news articles to keep up to date on the situation. They sometimes leave comments thanking others for words of sympathy and support.

Been following this closely since it happened.

Scary scary times.

My thoughts are with the Japanese people right now, may all the non ******** people come to your aid.

Just to tell you guys that the brawl players from japan are all safe, though the world's best stadium player of all time at both melee and brawl, Sin2324, hasn't given any news yet. He lives in Miyagi, one of the cities that have been hit the most by the event.

I hope the best.
Any updates on Sin?

Well, I still give my condolences to those in Japan and those in America who are grieving. Especially to my pen pal. Her family was hit hard, and only her dad survived apparently.

I left some flowers near the corner of my house, one for each of them.
