You wouldnt see this in England. Nope. Despite the resourseful, dedicated, industrious, yet unmaterialistic nations of britain being a force to be reckoned with in the fight against evil, and all that, no one in modern England drags our losses back up or talk about the noble sacrifice of our soldiers for the good of the rest of Europe,no the good of the world.
We are simply too level headed, inteligent and are able to see through the lie which is patriotism, you might wonder why, ill give you a simple answer, because we are English.
Wait, did i just? i did, didnt i? Bugger.
People say stupid things. these people said some really stupid things. probably blinded by patriotism and guided by the childish notion that if you really like something youve got to be the hero and let everyone know about it. loudly.
anyhow, each and every country has idiots whos twisted take on patriotism makes them do and say stupid things, just look at the English defence legue, im not going to get irate over it, what is important,to me, is what i think, and my thoughts are with the families of those who have been lost and those who still suffer the effects of the earthquake and the radiation leak it caused.
(my appologies if my initial paragraph made me sound like a dick, i am one, just not for the reason that paragraph was worded to make me out to be!)

That was depressing, maybe they need to go down there just like that ideat who keep going on about rediation being bad.
Because people can't forget wounds that weren't even inflicted on them.
It's like if someone punched your grandpa when he was kid and then you spit on the punchers grandson for the deed their grandfather did. Not the same generation, they don't deserve it.
Plus, Japan makes anime. That's why we love them.

I doubt those people have enough intelligence to determine their asshole from their elbow. However, the thing that makes me laugh is that they mention 'karma' for Pearl harbour. So what would be the 'karma' for Hiroshima and Nagasaki? Not the fizziest drinks in the fridge.
It's because of ingorant, rascist, wastes of life like this that I pray that there is a hell and the Devil is sharpening his pitchfork and twiddling his moustache in preparation. Have some goddamn compassion.
Pearl Harbor shouldn't be forgotten. I won't contest that, but what all these people seem to forget is that Japan was already paid back for Pearl Harbor, it was called World War II. Many more Japanese than American military personnel were killed in the war, that's not even counting civilians killed in raids over Japan, or dropping atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Japan has already been repaid for Pearl Harbor, and the people writing those things are idiots.
To be honest, what war can you describe as not childish? In most wars, you can group any country as a child-like personality.Mackheath said:
WWI is a major example of this. Germany was the big kid that feels like he can take on the world, and had the nerve to beat up anyone who said otherwise.
Austria was the little wuss that gets his friends to beat up his enemies while acting tough.
France was a kid with a personal vendetta against Germany because Germany pushed him down in the sandbox and took France's favorite truck.
Russia was one of those kids who thought he could take on the world, but right when it gets punched starts balling.
Italy was the lack of moral type kid who wanted to side with the person he thought would win and nothing more.
And the US was the quiet kid who went on a rampage after Germany kicked sand in his eyes.
While no other war is as Childish as WWI, it seems fairly obvious that most wars can be considered as such.
OT: I wish those people would die alone, wouldn't people consider the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki would be more than a punishment needed for Pearl Harbor
I agree with you that they're being stupid, but then again, one of the first educated thoughts most people experience is that "There are a lot of people on earth. Nearly 65% of them are idiots."
Still, thanks for helping to improve our status with the rest of the world even more, because they all love us Americans SOOOOOOOOOOOO much already.
Some people will think "There are stupid people out there, and this only proves it." However, unfortunately, most people will probably think "OMG AMERICA HATES EVERYONE THEY ARE ALL EVIL BASTARDS!". I'm not saying that our country doesn't contain plenty of idiots, I'm just saying that we're not all like them.
Besides, like you said, I'm pretty sure we avenged not only Pearl Harbor, but also a lot of the soldiers who were killed as well when we bombed Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

I was more referring to whomever made that picture. It's a really idiotic picture.Wade-DeadPool said:
I could've been more clear.
Didn't you know that Americans are the most important people in the universe? Deaths in other countries don't count.
/sarcasm
Pisses me off. On a lesser scale, there was a woman in Melbourne crying on the news about her boyfriend going missing in the tsunami, when 100's of other Australian's were also missing, but they didn't get any coverage.
People are selfish.. That's all it really is. They can't see the big picture.

It was not an act of genocide in any literal sense of the word. In order for it to qualify, it would have to be part of an effort to destroy the Japanese race for some cause or another. The actual rational behind dropping the bombs was to force an end to the war. The only similarity is the scale of death and destruction, but, as it turns out, when modern industrial nations turn the full force of their industrial might to the task of destroying another nations basic capacity to wage war (not simply defeating them on the battlefield as was, for the vast majority of the history of armed conflict, the aim of warfare), casualties are enormous. All told, those produced as a result of the deployment of nuclear weapons are but a tiny fraction (by some estimates, a mere 0.2%) of the total casualties of the war. There were single battles that had death tolls an order of magnitude larger (Stalingrad, for example) and single bombing runs using conventional arms that produced similar casualties (the Firebombing of Tokyo is estimated to have killed 300,000 people and the bombing of Dresden <150,000).Revrant said:
So, when you go about using inflammatory words like "genocide" the important thing to remember is context. If you want an example of an American genocide, look no further than the history of the native peoples of North America.
How does using nuclear arms differ from using conventional arms to achieve this same goal? Because, from where I'm standing, there is no difference at all.Christian Fernandez said:
One cannot wage war and pretend to be righteous, and a belief to the contrary is largely what allows war to exist in the first place. It turns out, declaring that "your position is so very wrong that I will kill people who look and talk like you until you come around to my way of thinking" is always wrong. Thank god hypocrisy saves us from such conundrums.Christian Fernandez said:
