Tsunami "payback" for Pearl Harbour

[SilverUchiha]

People who think this are assholes. We sort of dropped nuclear warheads on them at the end of the war... if anything was "payback" that was it.

Plus, kinda hating how said people are belittling the tragedy over there as I know some good people over there. Luckily they're okay, but still...

 

[steampunk42]

we had our revenge...it was called a war! this a disaster, and if our leaders see fit then we will help them as much as we can

 

[irani_che]

i thought the payback was enola gay

Don't forget the Bock's Car !

no, that was america being a bit of a dick. Japan was apologising and surrenduring as soon as they saw the first one

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.

This is true I guess. (I mean, you just have to look to Barack Obama to know that America isn't ALL bad) But seriously, I can think of no other country that could spawn people that are so stupid, ignorant and just plain shitty all rolled into one!

I can think of one. I can think of over 200. Remember:

There are assholes and saints everywhere.

The OP claims that he's not trying to make America look bad in this thread, but I respectfully disagree. I DO think that's his purpose. And this just needs to freaking stop. We get it, the world hates America. But using a tragedy such as this to play up one's own negative opinions of America is not much better than the people you quote using the tragedy to play up their negative opinions of Japan. No matter where these assholes are from, the OP shouldn't have even created this thread and given such ideas attention. People post stuff like this to Facebook in order to be read publicly. By creating this thread, all it does is give more attention to such comments. If you don't want to see comments like those anymore, don't give them the time of day. In one sentence... seriously, can't we all just get along?

Refer to the second part of my comment for my counter to this...

Not everyone on America is like these people, there are American's I know who I am proud to call friends. But this is one of those "Only in America" moments. There are good and bad things about every country yes, but America certainly has an aptitude for this sort of behavior that I don't think I've seen anywhere else.

 

[Nobodyman]

As an American myself, I think these people are fucking stupid.

 

[RivFader86]

well...americans....better get ready when the hiroshima payback volcano erupts ;P

Don't think there has to be anything said about the link....people are just stupid like that.

 

[Carnagath]

Ahhh, delicious trollbait! I'd bite, but unfortunately I don't know a way to express my thoughts on this without getting banned.

 

[ZombieGenesis]

I hereby propose we eradicate all stupid people.
Those that remain can all ride the same bus home...

 

[Cheesebob]

Americans make me sick sometimes.

 

[Apauling]

This is probably another example that some Americans really didn't pay much attention in History.
Yes, they bombed Pearl Harbour, and in retaliation, the Americans Nuked Japan. Since then however, trade between the two countries and relations have been made. In the past 66 years, both sides have made bridges.

Also, those thinking that natural events can be regarded as payback for anything really need to research basic geography.

 

[DarksideFlame]

Alright then, let's compare deaths on the Pearl Harbor attack and the nuking of Hiroshima and Nagasaki

Pearl Harbor: 2,402 lives lost

Nuking: 225,000 lives lost

Conclusion: To all you wankees who means Japan deserved this...FUCK YOU!

And some twat got 9\11 mixed up in all this and what the fuck did the japanese have to do with that? Also in the 9\11 incident approximately 3,000 people died

I think if I was trying to make America look bad I could come up with better ammunition than a small amount of the population saying ridiculous things.

Just because something isn't pro-american doesn't mean it's anti-american, I didn't say "Americans are clearly stupid" as other people have in this thread. I said that some Americans had been saying these things, not ALL Americans.

And I'm saying, when it comes to both honorable, proud things and stupid, ignorant things, there is no such thing as an "Only in America" moment, because any country can produce its own share of ignorant assholes. I'm sorry, I hate to break it to you, but the UK is not immune to this, nor is any other country. I've seen stupid comments from British (and Australian) members of this very forum talk about re-colonizing the States as some sort of "payback" notion. I know as well that not every British or Australian person is like that, but I also wouldn't get the notion that such ideas were "Only in the UK". That's what I'm upset about.

 

[Jabberwock xeno]

...I hate my country sometimes.

 

[imnot]

Thats disgusting, besides didnt they more than get them bachk with Hiroshima and Nagasaki?

 

[Scizophrenic Llama]

If I facepalm'd any harder I'd probably knock myself out. I would like to think two nukes dropped on Japan is more than enough for payback, hell, one would've been enough.

 

[The Floating Nose]

WOW ! These are some overly-patriotic comments right there ! Fuck them, a bunch of selfish assholes.

 

[Evil the White]

Well done America. I'm glad I don't live there.

[maddawg IAJI]

Leave it to stupid people to claim a natural disaster as payback. Does this mean Katrina was payback for the Revolutionary war? Or was that paid back during the great Chicago Fire or maybe the San Fransisco earthquakes? And what about nuking them twice? Wasn't that meant to be payback?

Goddamn, I hate the stupid people in my country. They say the silliest things.
