What?, we don't have enough programs here at home?
Don't go crying to mama when you get in trouble abroad. Yes, I know it was a natural disaster, but the fact is you're in trouble and we're here and you're there.

This has got to be the most stupid comment I have ever seen posted. You sound like a very jealous, mean-spirited person. Maybe if you had ever studied abroad you wouldn't be so small minded.

Jealous?
Of what? I could travel abroad if I chose too. I choose not.

Zing, there's a lot to gain from traveling to other countries. You'd know that if you'd tried it.

Study abroad programs exist for good reason. Cultural exchange is important to opening people to new perspectives. Also, there are things you can learn better outside America. I imagine these students were actually there studying Japanese, that's a common study-abroad program.

And, seriously, you're blaming people for an act of god. Japan is the safest country in the world. It has the lowest crime rates in the world. They're also the best prepared for earthquakes and tsunamis. Yes, better than the United States in all those categories. But the 5th strongest earthquake in recorded history occurs and you blame the kids? Kids who are just trying to enhance their education?

Come on.

None of those four came "crying home to mama". In fact some of them want to go back as soon as they are allowed. You are just a sad, pathetic little person who wants to draw attention to themselves, and guess what you did. Now everybody thinks you are missing not just a few but all of your brain cells. Thanks for showing everybody that your parents raised a kind and compassionate person, oh wait sorry I meant a moron who doesn't know what they are talking about.

Daily Horoscope for June 4

Pisces

Relationships are kind of shaky under this Lunar Cycle and you may even get the distinct impression you're heading for a major showdown with a certain someone. Although this feels like a crisis, don't let panic or desperation push you into decisions you would normally steer clear of. You may think you've reached the end of the road, but this isn't a good reason to go off the deep end and make drastic decisions. Proceed with caution!
