Earth-quake in Haiti and ignorant responses.

This is a quote I just read on YouTube regarding the recent Earth quake in Haiti. I was looking into this as I cannot imagine the terror and sorrow these people are going through right now.  
 
Now can someone explain to me why there can be that much ignorance and hate coming out of people? This makes me so angry I am shaking, please help redeem my faith in humanity.  I have read these kind of comments before and usually just ignore them but this one just got under my skin.
 
BTW I am scared shitless of Earth-quakes as I live on Vancouver island in a 4 story building so this has me shook up a bit.
 

Simple explanation... the world if full of ignorant and hateful people. Always has been, always will be. Sorry. 
Be glad you are not one of them.

 
Only one thing worse then YouTube trolls.  The idiots that take them seriously. 

The world sucks.  Don't you know that?

YouTube is full to the brim with jerks and idiots, they're not worth paying the slightest bit of attention to.

Just don't give those ignorant idiots the attention they are trying so hard to get

I for one don't really care for the situation there. My grandmother was there and my father hasn't heard any news on her part (I.e: Dead or alive), but whatever man.

50,000 people used to live here. Now it's a ghost town - That's how I read the newspaper headlines. 

Youtube comments are full of the people to stupid to troll a forum. Plain and simple. And because it's a massive website with people breaking copyright on it every second it's moderators are kinda busy elsewhere.

How about 'Christian Evangelist' Pat Robertson's comment on the quake?  

 And you know Kristi, something happened a long time ago in Haiti and people might not want to talk about it. They were under the heel of the French, uh you know Napoleon the third and whatever. And they got together and swore a pact to the Devil. They said we will serve you if you'll get us free from the French. True Story. And so the Devil said "OK, it's a deal." And they kicked the French out. You know, the Haitians revolted and got themselves free. But ever since they have been cursed by one thing after the other, desperately poor. That island is Hispaniola is one island. It's cut down the middle. On one side is Haiti, on the other side is the Dominican republic. Dominican Republic is prosperous, healthy, full of resorts, etc.. Haiti is in desperate poverty. Same island. Uh, they need to have, and we need to pray for them, a great turning to God and out of this tragedy. I'm optimistic something good may come.

" 50,000 people used to live here. Now it's a ghost town - That's how I read the newspaper headlines.  "

That's YouTube for you. It's stupid and annoying but it's just best to leave it. It's not like you can rationilse with them anyway since all they do is abuse you. Not that it's happened to me you witness such behaviour in a lot of vidoes.

Sucks for them.
 
Be glad it wasn't a one-two punch by nature like in 2004 though.

They are not trolls.
 
They are not trying to get attention.
 
That's how people really feel.
 
And it's horrifying.
 
I know people like that.

Freedom of Speech.  
 
It's fucking America, and people have the right to say what they want.  
 
I fucking hate the Halo Generation of gamers calling everyone faggots and shit, and I am right to say that.  
 
I also hate fucking zombies because they are bigger whores than mummies.

You just noticed people were douches on Youtube? wow... where have you been?

Well nothing's perfect and so are people. So don't be surprised if you see people like this in this world.

are you new to the internet?
 
youtube comments are really not the place to go if your easily offended by blissful close-minded ignorance

The world is full of hateful trolls. It's a shame what happened over there. I hope they get better...

youtube comments are a dark place

Getting offended by such comments on Youtube is nonsensical. There are many Americans who hold such views, Youtube, like any other such site, gives them an open platform to offend those who should know better than to read them. I know I don't, I have the feature sensibly switched off in settings. 
 
There are some Evangelical Christian groups saying the Earthquake is god's punishment for their religious practise of Voodoo.

Thanks for telling me that I can actually turn off comments in settings. (Is there a way to manually toggle comments on/off for videos that I think will have decent comments?)  No thanks for singling out Americans for no reason. "

Youtube is literally filled with idiots like that. I've run into a ton of them just spouting random crap, and I get them to the point where they don't even know what they're talking about anymore. I've actually wasted my time dealing with them before, something I'm not really fond of doing. You can just ignore the comments by turning them off (thank God you can do that).
 
It's really just sad that people actually feel that way. I've had "friends" say stuff like that. Sadly there's nothing you can do to change their opinion or views.

Honestly, that comment really made me pretty distraught, and so have a few of the comments in this thread. Come on, people.....

Don't read YouTube comments. They are always hidden for me.

"@ahriman22: Elaborate on "don`t really care for the situation there" "

There are people like that all over the world where ever you go. Sadly, they aren't just limited to America. It's one of the ugly sides of humanity and you have to learn to ignore it, otherwise you will go insane. Also, remember that you are above them and better than them. You need those ignorant people so you can be above and better than them, because if they were all like you, you would be one of them.

Why even post this crap, OP? Of course there's racists on youtube. Old news.
 
I also know someone who said something like this. It's not that he's racist, although that's a part of it. He's also just a very amoral individual. You have to understand that there's people out there who have different versions of morality, or no morality at all. That's why you can't take on faith that people will adhere to a certain moral code; you have to address those with different moral standards by establishing laws that prevent certain types of speech in places where this speech can spark disorder or violence, even if this doesn't necessarily adhere to the first amendment. Examples of this are laws prohibiting hate speech.

Well, what's worse is when people insinuate that natural disasters are caused by God's wrath. My mother mentioned the other day that "they all practice voodoo magic over there," and implied that God was taking divine punishment out on the Haitians. I flipped a shit at her.  I mean, she does feel for the victims over there. It's just sometimes her old catholic views on mysticism get the better of her intellect. "

I usually do not read youtube comments.

It's not just youtube...I saw this on facebook today (names and pictures changed for privacy).
