Tsunami "payback" for Pearl Harbour

[Del-Toro]

Dude...people are assholes and besides...weren't the NUKES payback?

And the firebombings, and the absolute castration of Japan afterwards, which to be fair, was kind of necessary given the empire's history of being irredeemable douchebags. They're better now, which is what makes this whole thing so unfair.

No, I think that was for Yoko Ono.

 

[Imperioratorex Caprae]

If thats true, then I wonder what our payback will be for genocide of the native american tribes who populated this land prior to our colonization...

Dude...people are assholes and besides...weren't the NUKES payback?

That was more like revenge than retribution.

Can we clear this up: Hiroshima and Nagasaki are far more complex issues than people on this thread are making out. They quite arguably saved far more lives than they took.

........Ok, that's just disgusting.

Also didn't the US already get their payback when they NUKED TWO INNOCENT CIVILIAN TOWNS?!

...Think the world forgot about THAT?

This comes up every time, and I get tired of having to remind people that the nukes in Japan saved more lives than they ended.
EDIT: Ninja'd

thats just sick and f***** pathetic. makes you wonder why some people hate america eh? well, with "ambassadors" like this, what did you expect?

Funny you should say that. The actual ambassadors are much worse. Not only are they rude idiots, they are powerful and privileged as well.

 

[sessionxiii]

how absurd, and what a horrible thing to say. at my school we're already thinking of ways to help donate to relief funds for Japan, so don't go thinking all Americans think this. =/

If this has already been brought up, do forgive but this has been brought to my attention:

Apparently there is a fair amount of Americans claiming that the Tsunami currently ravaging Japan can be seen as payback for an attack in WW2.

"getting a little more payback for peal harbour. they thought we forgot about that BS, didn't they?"

"Remember pearl harbour? Go tsunami go!"

Only two brief examples of a torrent of idiotic comments that seriously make one wonder where people get this crap from.

What are your thoughts, Escapists?

I think it's really funny how some on this forum are actually lumping these few total dickheads with an entire nation of culturally diverse people.

Two sides of the same coin.

I have met many Americans and am proud to call some my friends -- they are very humane and intelligent people.

I think some of us here need to remind themselves that there are assholes and saints everywhere.

 

[zombiejoe]

We got back for that a long time ago. We won the war, we nuked them. I think it's just cruel that people are taking joy in this.

 

[Nadiril]

This, just my mind is absolutely blown. But in saying that, I think the dumbest quote on there has to be

"those krauts deserve to be hit by an earthquake tsunami for nuking pearl harbour".

Seriously... just so many things wrong with that statement I think I had a minor aneurysm after reading it.

 

[Vakz]

Honestly, this is probably one of the most appalling and disgusting things I have ever read. A disaster with over a thousand dead, over ten thousand missing, and crisis at a nuclear plant, and they are gloating, calling it justice, and some even calling "gods will". Truly disturbing how low people can go..

 

[Slaanax]

Funny because I bet they all love japanese cars, technology, and food.

I wonder how many of these people own a ps3.

Wow, people are special. Those pictures make me realize where racism and stupidity come from.

 

[nuba km]

You might be a redneck if....

...you blame a society we are at peace with for something that happened 70 years ago-which the current leaders have no control over- and think that a natural disaster is "payback".

well actually most say it's God/karma that are doing this.

OT: one person said 'but remember those idiots started world war 2', *clears throat* no they fucking didn't America just didn't give a crap about world war 2 till pearl harbour.

 

[Casual Shinji]

I wonder what 9/11 was for then... Idiots

Well, Jerry Falwell blamed it on the gays and the lesbians. Why would he be wrong?(!)

There's always going to be retards cheering when a catastrophe occurs in a prominent country, like it's a sports match or something. Same thing happend with 9/11, saying it was what America deserved for being a dick.

 

[Jonabob87]

has westboro baptist church weighed in on the tsunami?

No but it would make for some classic stand-up comedy.

 

[Jazoni89]

Those comments nearly made me psychically sick.

How can someone think like that.

 

[Sneeze]

Maybe they're trying their hand at edgy comedy, then again, on the other hand maybe they're just just first class idiot that should be hit with bricks. Hm...

 

[Slaanax]

Anyone notice the one kids comment "great more money going over seas but do we have a pearl harbor" - Jacob Kriebel. Last time a checked Pearl Harbor is part of Hawaii and still exists. Go go lack of education!

 

[LiquidGrape]

This yank jingoism needs to go stand in the corner. Permanently.
Honestly, all of those involved; shame on you.
Shame on you.

P.S
Also, I do like how this "Marty Mann" claims that Japan started WWII.
Go, go common knowledge!
D.S

makes me want to barf at the bastion of ignorance represented by those people. my grandpa was inprisoned in a gulag by the communists and guess what, I have absolutely no hate for the nowaday russians coz they DIDN't do it, it was someone else. these people hate without any kind of reason
