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

[Leviathan_]

think before you put something on Facebook.

So that's what, like 60 people?

Okay so 60/6,900,000,000.

Maybe if you don't want to be angered by the stupidity of stupid people, you shouldn't go looking for it. Also it might be wise to not make sweeping generalizations about a group of people based on what is statistically nothing and what is definitely not worth caring about. Get over it.

I'm not angry at all, I don't know where you got this impression from.

I'm just baffled at how ignorant people can be, chill out man, no need to get worked up about it.

Looking on Facebook and being surprised to find stupid opinions is like being surprised to find shit in a sewer.

It's not Facebook's fault (I myself use it), but there are always stupid people and Facebook gives us a look into their tiny little minds.

Good job linking the idiotic actions of a handful of people to an entire country of 320 million people.

Cause nobody ever over reacts after losing a sports game across the world. Nope all the riots and shit, totally made up.

The world can be a racist, violent, ugly place if you want to look at it that way. I look at it differently, almost all idiots are only idiots about a handful of things, and for every idiotic point of view there are dozens of reasonable ones, and hundreds or thousands of apathetic people.

Each and every one of you has sounded like an idiot in the past, but I'm sure it feels great to feel superior and judgmental so don't let me stop you.

At least in these riots it's just idiots fighting idiots. This thread was made to ask people to be more considering when they post something on the internet, not to judge the US. Chill out man, not everyone is out to get you.

Also, I'm pretty sure I've never wished a Tsunami on an entire country just because they beat mine in a sports competition. It's also funny that they are raging over a sport that's not even popular or important in the US.

Let's just say that if you thought my post was about riots specifically (used as an example), or about me individually, you completely missed the point. It was about hypocrisy.

Everyone is an idiot about something, everyone does stupid Things from time to time. Hate and racism are present everywhere. People tend to recognize this, but mention a country of origin and people sometimes start acting like its representative behavior of an entire country.

Uh... wow. That's actually pretty fucking offensive, and I'm neither American nor Japanese. Goddamn.

 

[DrScoobs]

i find it sad that some kid managed to get 9 likes on his "pan faced gooks" status.
what an arseholish kid with arseholish friends.

 

[OldGus]

So in other words, people are insensitive brainless morons. What else is new?

But really, what the hell is it with facebooking americans and their irrational hate of the Japanese? And Why are they wearing the war crime that is nuking Japan as a badge of pride? Tons of civilians were subjected to white hot death by nuclear explosion, and they think that's something to be proud of? Sheez, guys. Yikes.

And all this over SOCCER?! WE CANADIANS DON'T EVEN FLIP OUT LIKE THAT OVER HOCKEY!! AND WE FREAKIN LOVE HOCKEY!!

Yes you do. Both, you do love hockey, and you do flip out like that over hockey. Goddammit if you aren't the nicest people I know, but damn you guys can riot.

I dont like this gringos either ,but im not going to lie when i say the escapist community is being pretty racist right now against the people of the US why? because some idiots said some horrible shit online and they belong to the US, now the US is full of racist. then when some people of spain call black people monkeys, i should think that spain is full of racist as well.

All im saying is that judge the people that said the comment not the nation they belong to.

(im latino, i havent set foot in the US and the people i met from there are normally pretty polite)

 

[OldGus]

Uh... wow. That's actually pretty fucking offensive, and I'm neither American nor Japanese. Goddamn.

Yeah... I'm an American in Japan. My own response when I found out Japan beat America was. "Ok. Can I get a pint of beer?"

In my defense, I was in a bar.

I am just glad the people I know on Facebook are not that moronic/offensive.

 

[Xan Krieger]

I see I'm not in the OP's image, actually looked if what I said made it.
Sadly I'm not on there.

 

[Ironic Pirate]

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.

And what wonderful enlightened country do you hail from? Where the education is perfect, and everyone shares peace and understanding?

Because given a few hours I'm sure I could put together a charming graphic like that. Instead of saying something stupidly generic like "All Americans are stupid!" or "Everyone on Facebook is a douche!" let's look at this for what it is: A picture showing roughly fifty individuals that are as stupid as the are empathetic, with less human decency than the average cockroach.

 

[Fiz_The_Toaster]

That's just....wow.....really?

I can't form words to describe how moronic these people are, can't say I'm all that surprised really.

 

[CleverCover]

This isn't most of America. Most of us didn't even know we even had a women's soccer team.
Or truly give a shit. It's not basketball, American football, or baseball, so no one cares.

These are either trolls or posers. Most likely trolls.

I won't believe that people out there are this dumb, this much a spoil sport, or this cruel about something that doesn't truly matter.

 

[Adam Almond]

Wierdly, Britain (specifically England), where I'm from, is internationally renowned for football hooliganism, however, recently, when England have lost major international tournaments we tend to turn our hatred on the team itself...not the country who beat us...

That said, this kind of hatred and vitriol is rife on the ol' interwebs. Best to just tut and walk the other way...people will always be like this.

More crap the rest of us will never be able to live down.

Don't these people have friends smart enough to tell them how stupid they sound?

 

[Double A]

It's just idiots being sore losers. Don't get too worked up.

Capatcha: comparable aburted

 

[Instinct Blues]

I'm calling bullshit I mean the US doesn't even care about Men's Soccer and that makes it even less so for Women's Soccer.

 

[OldGus]

Yes you do. Both, you do love hockey, and you do flip out like that over hockey. Goddammit if you aren't the nicest people I know, but damn you guys can riot.

To be fair that is mostly the french and more specifically montreal. Those guys absolutely love to riot. Hell they even riot when they win games.

Being fair, yeah, true.

Also being fair, is Quebec officially not part of Canada yet? 'Cause there are definitely some folk there who aren't as nice as the rest of Canada. I mean, I've got family there, and sure they'll stuff your face with crepes and pancakes, and yeah they send me cans of genuine maple syrup every winter, but any time I visit, they just refuse to speak any English (knowing that even my Dad doesn't speak any French.) And they do know English, but they still wait for my Nana to translate everything before they even acknowledge response.

I'm so sorry I have to share the same level of reality with phenomenons, beings like this.
