Tsunami "payback" for Pearl Harbour

[ZydrateDealer]

What Hiroshima and Nagasaki weren't enough...see this is the reason why the world hates the US, these people need to take an introspective look at the good ol' USA.

 

[Rewdalf]

Dude...people are assholes and besides...weren't the NUKES payback?

[/thread] and done.
Seriously, no further discussion can be had here without it turning into a flame war.

This is just as stupid as when the fanatic Christians were claim the earthquake in Haiti was because the Haitians sold their souls to the devil in order to break free from colonial rule, way back in the day.

Or when the Hurricane Katrina was said to be god whipping the sinners from New Orleans.

Mark my words, the fundie zealots will be coming out with similar gibberish about this disaster too

 

[SnowyGamester]

Thread is TL;DR, but I recall yesterday on /b/ some trolls planning on raiding news articles and videos about the earthquake to say exactly this. Ya'll be postin' in a troll thread.

 

[Sir Prize]

Well, it's either a really good attempt at trolling or just plain stupidity.

 

[badgersprite]

Well, this is officially the dumbest and most offensive thing I have ever heard. Apparently, according to these people, every single country is in a constant state of cold war with everyone else, and every time something horrible happens to your fellow human beings, it means your country is winning by virtue of the fact something bad didn't happen to you.

Honestly, this is why I'm glad I limit my internet experience to sane people like The Escapist.

Hiroshima was payback for Pearl Harbour.

The Tsunami is payback for the whales, just imagine 1000's of whales on the bottom of the ocean pushing the earth's plates going "yea .. thats right, this is what you get."

 

[Troublesome Lagomorph]

Some people are just completely idiotic...
Wait a minute...
*sniff*
I know this smell...
*sniff*
SMELLS LIKE TROLL!

 

[Harmondale2]

most people are idiots

 

[Droppa Deuce]

It's mindless to think in such a way.

When the Eastern Seaboard of the USA is obliterated by a tunami caused by the eruption of that volcano in the canary islands, will that also be payback for something?

Vengeance is futile.

 

[Cryo84R]

Wow, ok. A few nutjobs and now people are using this as an excuse to spew ignorant anti american bigotry here.

Classy.

Yup, but on the plus side, it has given me still more evidence that there is a roughly even ratio between the stupid assholes of nations and regular people.

 

[BabyRaptor]

Yip...Heard the same sentiment on Faux Noise yesterday. It's utterly sickening. These people are NOT human.

 

[noobium]

fun factsearl Harbor-2350 (including injured during the attack)
Death toll when the bombs dropped in Japan-160000 to 246000 and destroyed two cites(Hiroshima and Nagasaki)
Our pay back was over a 100 fold in casualties (that were mostly Japanese civilians)

It is ludicrous to claim that the disasters is pay back for Pearl Harbor and how is an event that happened 70 years ago even relevant. American asininity at its best

They already have. Google Tim LaHaye's comments from Hawaii yesterday.

Something about how the earthquake/tsunami is one of the signs of the "beginning of the end times" and people should be excited.

 

[marurder]

If this has already been brought up, do forgive 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.
What are your thoughts, Escapists?

These people are stupid, and there is a lot of anti-Japanese sentiment here in China too. One student of mine yesterday said a wise crak in my class and I told them if they wanted to repeat it they could leave. I don't like that kind of Sh*t in MY classroom.

 

[Burningsok]

Your a f****** douchbag you know that. That was around 7 decades ago; a whole different generation. Japan has a completely different attitude towards us, and anyone who was responsible for the attack are pretty much all dead by now.

Move on.

Japan did not deserve this in the least. I hope they can recover as quickly as possible.
