Ignorance on Facebook (censored for the well-being of this thread)

[KaizokuouHasu]

Hold on let me find some obnoxious .gifs.

Spoiler

What the fuck am I doing.

Anyway. This isn't even really surprising anymore.
It's like nobody ever fucking taught the stupids about Nagasaki and Hiroshima. Or maybe they did but whichever jackass it was had a PATRIOTISM moment and spelled it out like America was dropping pureness bombs on the devil's asshole which was poking out in two seperate Japanese residential zones somehow.

You're right... that really is obnoxious.

I don't really know what the curriculum in the U.S. covers, but I'm pretty sure it goes along the lines of:
"-We won WW2. Single Handedly, obviously. The Europeans were defenceless. By the way. The capital of Europe is France, and they have the Queen of England on the throne.
-Pearl Harbour was an act of evil from the Japs and there was nothing we could have done to defend ourselves from this demonic evil - not even lift the radio silence so we could warn them about the incoming attack that we knew about for more than 24 hours.
-We won the Vietnamese war. Totally. That was just a tactical retreat to... y'know... stuff.
-Oh! And we won the Civil war. Definitely! And, yeah, it totally counts as a victory to us - and it doesn't matter that we fought against ourselves!"

It's interesting to think that the U.S. has actually not ever won a war. They're good at getting into them though. Must be some younger-brother complex.

I just like the one guy going 'u mad' in response. Yes.
Yes, they mad.

 

[mental_looney]

ignorance on facebook is like clouds in the sky always going to be there

actually after reading that wtf is wrong with some people, let's compare a game to a world war how hilarious, there really is no logical connections -.-

If you put tens of millions of people (or is it hundreds now?) in the same place you are bound to find a few dozen that need to be put down.

The fact that the picture has so few examples given the entire pool of people on it is comforting.

 

[Davey Woo]

Have they not realised that it's women's soccer and therefore doesn't matter?
I kid I kid, NO SERIOUSLY IT WAS A JOKE DON'T RAGE!

In all seriousness, there is no need to bring up WW2 just because you lost a football game, that said I'm pretty sure the same thing happens when England lose to Germany at football, which happens a lot...

What the fuck is a gook?
That's gotta be the stupidest insult I've ever heard.

Gooks is a racists word for vietnamese people. But apparently some people don't know the difference between Japan and Vietnam. The term was popularized in Vietnam war movies.

I was about to ask the same thing but thanks for clearing that up for us.

All of this is just pathetic and ridiculous, i stopped reading about half way through because the sheer stupidity was hurting -.-

Off topic: I always thought Americans didn't really like football (soccer)guess I stand corrected

So you generalize American education based upon some backwater redneck morons viewpoints? Since we're assuming things here, I'm going to go ahead and go along the lines of saying that you think that every American is in league with these rejects, am I right?

Back on topic: Wherever you go there will stupid people with stupid comments to make. Wherever you are in the world. But please people, don't group the majority of Americans with the minority of ignorant jackasses.

 

[LostTimeLady]

Is this seriously about the US loosing at football? Seriously? I didn't think that football (with the black and white ball and the frequent ankle injuries) was all that popular in the US... Or at least didn't have so much of a ingrained cultural thing that people got not just stupid but racist about it.

Did these people think they were being funny or actually being malicious?

I actually don't know which is worse though...

 

[Imperioratorex Caprae]

You think that's bad? We lost to France.

Hey now, you gotta give France something, they never win anything especially wars.

OT: unfortunately ignorance and stupidity isn't limited to Facebook, but rather amplified by said site...

 

[Brandon237]

Oh jeez, humanity: Grow up, sincerely, us aliens who will be leaving now. I read that and all I have to say is wow, just... wow. What a bunch of sick little... it is not even worth the effort to insult them.

Japan has just suffered the Tsunami, they get a small victory, and now people are using Hiroshima and Nagasaki as a "we still won card". Damn... But I know a few people who straight after the Tsunami just said that it served them right for this and that... mostly things with their fishing industry, but to disregard the lives of so many people for the actions of a few of their business-people is also just sick.

 

[Treeinthewoods]

It looks like a lot of people, but when you consider the population I'd say it's still safe to assume most Americans honestly don't give two shits about soccer (much less women's soccer).

 

[sneakypenguin]

Is this actually that bad. Its generic comments/insults over a sporting event. Humor often ventures into the realm of the obscene and is subjective in nature.

 

[dex-dex]

America doesn't care about soccer. I'm calling shenanigans.

I so agree!
also Japan and Germany surrendered. how is that a victory?
also the americans did not join the war until 1941 the war started in 1939(little late to the party). while other countries were getting the shit beaten out of them and having millions dying. America just prances in and says we will come and save the day!

 

[TheEnglishman]

O.K, if you're going to use the deaths of millions because you lost a game of Soccer, than you just lost a little more.

To put it short; Almost. But who said that the people who posted this on facebook are rednecks and ignorant fools? It wouldn't surprise me if many of them were actually properly educated - college level for some - but were subjected to propaganda as part of their education and therefore have some very deeply rooted irrational dislike for Japanese people.

That said; America has a huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuge amount of people who are very undereducated on what in other parts of the western world seem to be known by near the 100% bar (assuming you're actually an average person who just finished his education). Things like: Where is the U.S. on the map? The value of pi. How Israel was founded. What the long term effects are of eating junk food daily. The virtue of avoiding debt and credit cards.

You're right though; there will be ignorance and assholes wherever you go. I just find that the vocal majority of them seem to be American.

 

[Fraught]

Oh my god. And you know what's the absolute fucking worst thing about that picture?

The amount of likes these guys get.

What the fuck is wrong with people? It boggles the mind.

 

[ShindoL Shill]

You think that's bad? We lost to France.

they did create parkour. plus they had the french resistance. dont knock the french, they used to be fairly badass. their musketeers can hold their own against the ming warriors. the science of Deadliest Warrior said so.
OT: *facepalm* hooray, you blew up two cities. how is that like women kicking a ball? and remember, there are no winners in war.

 

[shadyh8er]

I'm resisting the urge to facepalm, because I'm pretty sure the sheer force would crack my skull and result in cranial fluid leaking all over the floor.

You mean that hasn't already happened to you just from reading two of those comments?

Makes me long for the days when we Americans didn't give a toss (can I use that expression?) about soccer.

 

[cruzermac619]

First.. (Sorry it's small, It's like the first picture I've edited and uploaded on here. It took me at least an hour to figure out..)

Spoiler

And second, These people give us decent Americans such a bad name.
