Ah. No worries. I think I've done that before too trying to transcribe some quotes with British spellings.Jonabob87 said:
Okay thats chill for 19 year old me. How about my 89 year old grandparents, or my aunt that just had a rather serious bout with stomach cancer(thank goodness shes in remission,). Your fallout joke is real cute. Its amazing that one can be so condescending while still staking claim to the moral high ground.Natdaprat said:A dose of under 100 rems is subclinical and will produce nothing other than blood changes. 100 to 200 rems will cause illness but will rarely be fatal. Doses of 200 to 1000 rems will likely cause serious illness with poor outlook at the upper end of the range. Doses of more than 1000 rems are almost invariably fatal.silent-treatment said:As much as I can appreciate the irony, I live in California. So essentially you have told someone who has posted in this thread how sick the shit people are saying makes me, that you hope he, and most of (wait let me check to see Colorado is there, ahhh nope ALL) his family will die. Well fuck you to buddy.Natdaprat said:

Just take some Rad-X and you'll be fine.

Pearl Harbour: 2,350 Dead.
Tokyo Air Raids: Over 100,000 Dead
Hiroshima: Over 160,000 Dead
Nagasaki: 80,000 Dead
Not to mention the other 400,000 killed in air raids on other cities in Japan during the war. These are mostly civilian casualties as well.
And that's just America's involvement in one war, in one country. I can't even begin to list the death tolls from your many, many other wars. In some cases we probably don't even know the half of it.
The line of thinking that these natural, and terrible, events that occurred like the earth quake/volcanic activity/tsunami are payback for pearl harbor has got to be definably psychotic. I don't mean to say that in a colorful insult sort of way, but seriously psychotic, like they need an evaluation to see if their delusions are severe enough to be a risk to themselves or others.
You know.. I don't even rage or get mind blown anymore because of the corrupted fraction of Americans just caused me to get used to it. It just doesn't surprise me that some group insane asses would pop up.
I swear, they do this kind of crap for a living or something.
Edit: This is base on a hunch but didn't Americans had an alternative way to end WWII that might be might risky on American's behalf but much much MUCH more merciful?
I mean, correct me if I'm wrong but didn't Americans had enough military power to force Japan to surrender?

This is what I was going to say. Anyways, these are just your average Americans, in all their blind-patriotism glory.cyrogeist said:
Wait, wasn't Hawaii hit by the Tsunami too? How would that be payback anyways? As much damage that was made in Japan because of the Earthquake and Tsunami, the country was pretty much prepared against this kind of natural catastrophe, so it could have been much, much worse. These people need to get their facts straight.
A rare fraction of them do (like Glenn Beck). At the same time it would be bigotry to judge a group of people by their extremists (try to put 300000000 people in the same category). There are and always will be a group of nuts in any given category, not just the US. They just get more media coverage there, because controversy sells.Ike Jager said:
There were alternatives but they wanted to send a strong message and make sure they were ending the war from what I'm told.Ike Jager said:
I read each comment in that link (it was in a quote of the OP).
I am in utter disgust.
Fuck each and every one of them.
They lack the basic human emotion of decency. They have no decency. They have no conscience. They're ignorant twats who think that the world revolves around them and America who fail to think on a global level. They're immature children who don't seem to understand that the world is a small, small place. They're puerile infants who lack the capacity to understand that people are dieing and that they are affected by this.
Pearl Harbor was a tragedy. So were Nagasaki and Hiroshima. I don't know whether one justifies the other, and I don't care.
That doesn't mean you can be an absolutemonster fuck it, I don't even know what they are. Maybe I'm overreacting to this, whatever. Still doesn't change the fact that they're absolute dicks.

Look around a crowd and you're guaranteed to spot a few shitheads. Add the internet to the mix and the number goes way up. But they are a very noisy yet surprisingly small fraction of the whole.
I am an American living in Japan, and I've been humbled at the overwhelming response from Americans and people all over the world to this disaster. It makes you realize that people are not as bad as you might think. I'm an agnostic and way more liberal than most of my family; right now my very conservative Christian brother's church is organizing fundraising to fly over people who have missing family members in Japan. That is one of thousands upon thousands of similar cases of groups across the political and religious spectrum who are doing what they can to help.
A lot of people are aware that Japan is one of America's closest allies and supporters, and that Japan is one of the top providers of aid to developing countries. Any time there is a damaging earthquake in the world, Japan is there--just as America is there. Just as many national and international organizations show up to help.
Things like this make you realize that we are all in this together--and that people can be good, and usually try to be.
PS: Regarding the arguments over whether or not this is payback...come on, people. Do you really want to fall into the trap of debating insane, evil claims by trolls? That's exactly what they want.

Excuse me for not putting sources for my information at the end of my paper, professor. It won't happen again.silent-treatment said:
Then I guess you're pretty fucked if there's a melt down, huh. That's what a lot of the ignorant Americans don't understand when they claim this is payback for pearl harbour. It's ironic, forgive me for pointing that out. I'm sorry if you and your family suffer from this catastrophe. I hardly want a melt down in order for sweet irony.
Some people are just too stupid for words, last time i checked japan had paid the price for pearl harbour, in the most horrible way imaginable, world war two ended 66 years ago, and what's done is done, but some arrogant bastards want to think god and all of nature love america, HA!
get over yourselves, selfish pricks, there are thousands of people missing in japan, you're allies now, so for god sakes feel some human emotion for the suffering and loss these people have just endured
