I think there's one thing I can say fair and square - things like this does not help America's image problem, and may have helped cause it in the first place.

And America wonders why people hate them??
Seriously, how the hell do they connect WW2 to a soccer match, its like america having a basketball match against germany and germany wins, i wonder if they'd do the same thing

Who the fuck is proud about Hiroshima? What kind of sick, disgusting pervert lords that over people? And for a soccer game!?
Americans wonder why they're not thought too highly of by the world at large.

I'm not going to fire him, I simply wrote a professional Email that I was displeased with a comment that he made, that I felt it was culturally insensitive, and linked his Facebook. If they fire him over this then thats their prerogative, he represented Varangon as soon as he wrote it clearly as his place of employment.sinterklaas said:
Find anything that people are even remotely passionate, and the grotesque hyperbole is going to fly. On the internet, it's even worse. The vast majority of those posts are almost definitely jokes. Relatively tasteless jokes, but some relatively tasteless jokes are funny. I'm not worried about the majority of those posts because I can't bring myself to believe that the posters are taking themselves seriously.
Then of course, there are the ones that go so far there is no excuse.Tthe person calling the Japanese filthy animals, for instance. Some are trolling WAY to hard. Most of them are entirely too serious about the sport. Others seem to be genuinely xenophobic, which is truly terrifying.

Quick history lesson.dex-dex said:
Yes, France/Britain declared war on Germany in 1939. They didn't do a damn thing about it until April, 1940. The real war didn't get started until May of that year, when Germany invaded a country people evidently cared about (France). Prior to that, the European forces were engaged in what the Germans jestingly referred to as the "Sitzkrieg", the sitting war.
The Soviets mostly took the war as an opportunity to increase their territory, carving out a fair chunk of land for themselves on their western borders. They would not join the war in any real capacity until they were invaded in June of '41.
The Lend-Lease act was signed into law in March of '41. The United States was actually making significant contributions to the war effort BEFORE the Soviets.
Heh, no matter. Hardly world shattering.Dr Snakeman said:
This was partly the point I was making. You didn't disagree with the guy above who wanted to dip them in lava, but from the potential threat to yourself. If I wanted to bring down Facebook - for similar reasons to bringing down News International or the like - you'd fight against me, because you would seek to defend those people.
I really don't you know. I think these are people who are saying horrendously offensive things, and worse, have no idea on how offensive these things are. I've often said I don't believe in racism, just people being generally offensive.
And lord forbid that that's blocked, but this isn't what Bookface is about...and I really want people to remember that.
Don't afraid of anything either.
It made sense, but I think your tiredness is causing you to see enemies when there are none there. There's a huge difference between tirades and hate-speech, and although what I said could be harmful, no-one took it as anything more than "Look at Root bleating".
In comparison, imagine if this was a Religious thread, or I was defending Americans, or Scientology - not only would I be vilified, but my entire sub-group would be attacked.
Just as you came to the defence of the Facebook sub-group.
The theing I think we all need to do to go forward is to drop joining in with these sub-groups to attack or defend. The people in the picture are jerks, who happen to be American.
Let's just tell them their jerks and have some way of chastising them, instead of calling for their execution or holding their freedom higher than their victims.
i think all these people have to be searched for and be kicked out of excistence, because this is just...... seriously, this is above being a example for stupid americans, this is just a example how stupid the human race is....
and looking at the pictures they are really enforcing the stereotype for rednecks, douchbags and internet tough guys.

just one thing that has been building up in me that I need to let out. When we let the nukes fly we were saving lives just to give you an idea of how many much death was expected if we invaded mainland japan we are still using all the purple hearts that were made for the invasion of Japan. After the Doolittle raid Japan pulled a lot of troops back we would have been in for carnage the likes of which man had yet to see at least with the bombs we kept the death toll down, and it wouldn't have even just been soldiers dieing many civis would have committed suicide to stay out of the hands The American Pig men.aegix drakan said:
OT: retards will be retards move along nothing to see here.
To all Escapists who are not American: I am so sorry that a large portion of my nation are a bunch of stupid, ignorant twats. Please ignore them and focus on the ones that try to act like normal human beings, such as those of us on The Escapist and other places.
Arghhh, not as bad as all the dicks saying that they deserved the earthquake as "karma for pearl harbour" tho. Still some people are assholes, this is not new.
People are assholes, especially Nationalists.
I was under the impression that America manipulated Japan into attacking by cutting off trade routes thus forcing them to attack and the Japanese kind of have a history of not... politely announcing that they're going to attack you.rhizhim said:

Looks like I have a long night of facebook abusing ahead of me.
I bet that if they took a little walk around there house they would realize half the shit in there was made in Japan, "that's a nice tv you have, where was it made?", "is that a Japanese car you have there?".
"some people are only alive 'cos it's against the law to kill them".
