There's no need to blame a whole country for what a few people think. These people are just uncaring idiots, and not many people like uncaring idiots.jawakiller said:
Jack-asses are jack-asses, regardless of point of origin. No more selfish, stupid and certain of heir innate superiority than any other jack-asses in any other country.
I would ask why is it that when something stupid is said by an Amerikan person or even several (on the internet no less), someone from a European country almost immediately takes offense and questions if 350 million people all think or act this way? Obviously not, so why even ask? Sir Elton John is gay, but do I open a poll wondering if all Britishers are homosexual? *sighs*
Do I feel some random natural disaster is 'payback' for Pearl Harbor? No. How damn dumb would you have to be for that? I know, I know. About as dumb as half the people on the internet... right. It's what it's there for.

upon reading those messages, I felt the urge to hit them with a brick... a brick of knowledge and common sense

America! FUCK YEAH!
Seriously, we're not all like this. I'm yet another American (a Texan, no less) who'd like to line these guys up and stitch them into a human oroborus. But again, Americans don't have some kind of douchebag monopoly going on. In a way, I wish we did: then I could just leave the country, renounce my citizenship and be free of stupid jerks forever.
Both of my grandfathers fought in WWII, and both of them were completely cool with my taking an interest in Japan. I even got to hang out with a 96-year-old Japanese guy who taught me calligraphy, and he didn't seem to hold any hard feelings.
I'm actually looking into going back to Japan and teaching English for a while, if I can find a position.
Fortunately, none of my friends and acquaintances were directly impacted by the quake/tsunami/reactor. My heart goes out to those who were.

This is such old news by now. There was even a thread about it while it was still relevant.
People are mean and they suck. What else is new?

I'll agree with that. It's true; nobody likes a dick. The personality type, not the other thing. I'm sure there are many people (mostly women) who like the other kind of dick. I knew this Richard once and he was a great guy.JasonKaotic said:
Everyone is over thinking this, ANY country in the world would be the same with such a large population and ease of access to an internet site. And honestly, while I do not support nor even like what they're trying to say, some of them are downright hilarious remarks.
This isn't a big deal people, it's the internet. Everything and anything that can happen, will happen, and has happened already.

Pearl Harbor happened when Japan was under rule by a different government. The current Japanese society has no responsibility for what happened in Pearl Harbor. I doubt there are too many people alive in Japan that even remember WWII, let alone Pearl Harbor. Anyone who thinks that the Tsunami was either divine payback for Pearl Harbor or Divine intervention to "wipe out the atheists" can go get fucked by a horse. Actually, I take that back. The idiots that make these claims might actually enjoy that!

I'm sorry, but WOW. Can someone remind me why we're the most powerful nation in the world again? Because it sure has nothing to do with brainpower!
On the other hand, people like these never have to worry about a zombie apocalypse; they're already brain-dead.
/rant, for real this time.

Well, also after WWII Japan and the US were pretty much linked by a virtual umbilical cable due to the Yoshida Doctrine, and other stuff like that. It's not necessarily that Germany didn't do anything on the scale of the Japanese(seeing as they were *almost* worse in the entire grand scheme of the war), but that the US and Japanese populace were pretty much forced together by the governments. Particularly America.MASTACHIEFPWN said:
Personally I thought the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki were payback for Pearl Harbour but that's obviously my quaint antiquated thinking at work...
Just my 2 cents as yet another American citizen reading this. I concur that it's irritating to be grouped with others based on my country of residence. Just because I inhabit the same nation doesn't mean I'm automaticaly going to be of the same mind as the kinds of individuals that have said such hateful and misinformed things. Every conceivable collective group has its share of morons. As an example, just look at the trouble with Islamic terrorists. The vast majority of Islamic believers are fine individuals, but zealous extremists cast their shadow over the whole group.
On the issue of the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, I dont think it's appropriate of me to say that it counted as payback. I might use a term like that if it were a situation akin to playing pranks. You fool me, I fool you back, and around it goes until someone chooses to end it. However, that's not the case. In war you're out to win and secure the safety of your country and its people. I cant judge the decision of my country's commander-in-chief and advisor(s)of the time as being correct or incorrect. There are some who say that the decision to drop the Atomic Bombs and the resulting soon to be end to the war ultimately saved many lives in comparison to the casualties that would have resulted from a long drawn out campaign in the Pacific. I cant say if this is factual or not. I honestly dont believe anyone can, without the ability to go back in time to explore the alternative. One thing is for sure, though. It would be correct to say it saved more "American Lives", as opposed to just saying more lives in general. That will appear to be a very selfish justification (mind you I'm not the one justifying it- I'm just repeating what has been said), but that's the mentality of War.
