Poll: What the hell is this?

[zehydra]

It all stems from the problem that a lot of people aren't able to realize that 1940's America and 1940's Japan are not the same countries they are today. Very few of the original people from those countries are still alive. When talking about World War II, I shouldn't say "We" bombed Hiroshima and Nagasaki, but rather "1940's Americans" (more specifically the military and government, not the civilian population) bombed Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

It isn't really just that. IIRC In Japan Pearl Harbor is celebrated as a great military victory, the greatest extent of Japanese military progress, it's solo victory over the United States the major World Power, it's not viewed as "It's sad that the Japanese military attacked the US military" since if you think about it, it's not really sad for the sole reason that they're military, if they had attacked Japan I doubt their attack on whatever Pacific base of the Japanese would go down in American history as "sad". So yah I agree, it's about as sad as Germany and Austria losing WWI, as sad as the French losing the Franco-Prussian war, as sad as Brazil gaining independence from Portugal etc. etc. So really it's not that bad, it's not illegal nor a war crime, what is a war crime however is what Japan did in China especially with Korean Comfort women and Rape of Nanjing, both of which Japan doesn't apologize for and teaches in its schools that it wasn't as bad as it really was. I'd actually accept if they were saying "Oh I was sad about the Earthquake in Japan but then I looked at the death tool of the Rape Of Nanking and then saw that Japan continues to refuse to apologize for it and I felt better" even though that's still flawed and offensive logic, it makes more sense then Pearl Harbor.

But nobody nowadays should be feeling animosity towards these countries for any of the things you've listed. They're different countries now. For instance, people shouldn't hate Germans (now) because of the atrocities 1940's Germany committed.

Sometimes, people get so caught up in their misguided patriotic ignorance and pride that they forget that the rest of the world is filled with actual people.

Sometimes, these people decide that other people give a shit what they think. It's the job of you - as a decent human being - to prove that you don't.

 

[Vault Girl]

Didn't America nuke 2 major cities, instantly vapourizing thousands and leading the the total death of millions of Japanese people? they could have said the exact same thing about 9/11. Half those people who write that stuff weren't even alive then, hell their parents probably wernt born yet!

LOL PEARL HARBOR MAKES IT OKAY TO LAUGH

Okay, I'm not a sympathetic person at all, and I have been quoted for saying "Apathy is my middle name" on several occasions, but at least I don't blame Pearl Harbor for this.
It has no relevance whatsoever that the Japanese once went "Fuck, let's be the first to strike and bomb the shit out of Pearl Harbor" when a natural disaster hits Japan. Some might say karmic balance, I say nothing and punch them in the face for being incompetent tossers.

The whole "It's okay to laugh, because..."-thing is stupid in general actually.
I don't laugh, I just don't care, and say what you will, I think that's fair, because I don't find it funny either. I know, as a matter of fact, that if this happened to me, having some foreign douche mock me for something my countrymen did umpteen years ago won't help my situation.
It's like if Denmark was hit by a gigantic meteor, and English people went "Oh, that's cool, they raided our shores and destroyed our cloisters, raped our women and took our stuff."

Next time a natural disaster hits America, such as one of the billion, billion tornadoes ravaging the countryside, maybe we should say that "It's okay, it's just God paying them back for Hiroshima and Nagasaki"?

 

[Iwana Humpalot]

Idiots *sigh* i hope they get ran over.
Most interesting thing about this is that they talk about "payback"
.. 2 nukes wasn't enough of "payback" for them?

My fav (although choosing a fav is like choose who is the best dictator) has to be Michael Miller and Ashley Marie, "apparently god is still upset about pearl harbor". Yes, god gives that massive a fuck about your small poxy country that he waited 60(?) years to make an tsunami happen.

God, the all powerful, all loving, all knowing being ... trivializes his days by looking after USA. He also takes couple of decades to enact revenge compared to the 6 it took to create the world.

So I think we can safely say there are even more arrogant, ignorant people that we first thought. That number is rising at an astonishing rate!

You, sir, are my hero.

I second that thought!

 

[Shirokurou]

Kick them in the head, nothing valuable there anyway...

 

[Spygon]

Yes they are idoits and sadly they seem to pop up everywhere.The thing is if this happened to them they would be the first people complaining that people are not helping them fast enough and its the most terrible thing to ever happen in history.

When new orleans flooded or when Britian had a large mad cow outbreak no one ever said it was "payback". oh okay some extremist christians did but they think everything is a "test or payback"

Anybody who ever claims a natural disaster as "payback" for anything that humans have ever done to another human are a bunch of self absorbed ignorant assholes.

 

[Tomo Stryker]

The second the bombs fall on home soil its white-flag waving and talk of the rules of war.

Wait, when did we start talking about the French?

OT: I'm not sure why your upset man, there are idiots all over the world. Just because some random person had the time to make a collage about some idiots on FaceBook, (think about that for a second Facebook, were everyone has a voice) doesn't mean that they represent America. That would be the same thing if I picked up some Football fans from your local pub and told them that their team sucked and then said they represent all of your country. Just seems like everyone is overreacting, just give support to those in need and ignore idiots like this.

 

[RenaissanceHeart]

Ugh, the ignorance of humans can be truly mind blowing. And these people aren't only found in America (Because not everyone in America is some sort of ignorant redneck asshole, like one of the many stereotypes say.), hell, it doesn't even matter where they come from; the point is that the people who were calling this payback for Pearl Harbor are just disgustingly ignorant humans.

 

[yookiwooki]

My favorite quote is from Giambi Garcia on the bottom left of the picture.

"stupid japs... no one told y'all to building nuclear power plants... now you gonna give us radiation... assholes"

1) Japs: No one has used the word Jap since 1946.
2) y'all: Anyone who actually types y'all should have their keyboard incinerated.
3) "to building nuclear power plants:" You really should including the word "be" if you want your sentence to understood.

Also:
4) Hiroshima
5) Nagasaki

Wait, you only thought there were 16 ignorant, arrogant people out there? You are far too optimistic when it comes to the human race, my friend.

 

[icyneesan]

These people aren't crazy. Thats a insult to people who are actually mentally unstable and need help. These people are just jack asses.

 

[Nickompoop]

They're just stupid beyond belief and will die alone.
That's really all there is to it.

The worst part is that they won't die alone; they'll breed.

 

[Risingblade]

I dislike whoever made that poster as much a the people on it

 

[Hiname]

Call me biased to say this, but...
Yah, it's that kind of people that cannot tell the differance between a natural disaster and a military strike of tactical genious.

I mean, I was never a big fan of america, and I gladly admit that things like this deepen my dislike.. yes call me biased again, boo hoo.
but Im well aware assholes and braindead jerks are found everywhere. I just tend to notice more of that shit comming from the far west then from elsewhere.

 

[LobsterFeng]

Why do people always tend to put the negative aspects of humanity in the spotlight. The people that feel bad for what happened in Japan far outnumber these morons.

In the end the only people that are getting hurt by those statements are themselves. They can hurt you, if you let them anger you, don't. Just be glad that you have the intelligence and compassion to go beyond that bubble of ignorance hovering over their heads.

 

[kittii-chan 300]

yes america has alot of jerks. thats cuz its a huge country!

*ill stop this racism the only way i know how... with MORE racism!* XD

russia probably has a lot of jerks aswell cuz its so big. england has jerks, australia has jerks, japan has jerks, china has jerks, EVERY country has jerks! america only gets recognized for it because its a big country and its got the most amount of people who go on global socialising sites, or games and stuff.

Humanity: Biggest Assholes in the world

There, that should do it. In all seriousness, there are complete stupid fucks all around the world, but it seems the voices of stupid Americans are the ones that are always heard.

 

[InnerRebellion]

Wasn't Nagasaki and Hiroshima payback enough? Fucking hell.
