I find the fact those people even thought of this disaster as payback to be in very poor taste and very poor judgement. They should think about what they said and be ashamed of themselves.
Tsunami "payback" for Pearl Harbour

I think the rest of the thread has done a great job of pointing out how awful these sort of comments are. I'll just point out another flaw with these people's logic. And it's quite ironic as well. The tsunami also hit, though to much less of a degree, HAWAII.
I like to imagine that this is somewhat similar to what these people are thinking.
"Hey Japan. This is God. I've been out for a short while now. Long grocery list. Anyway, one of the first messages on my answering machine is from America. Sooo, what's the deal with this whole Pearl Harbor incident? Hmm? Apparently you guys kinda fucked their shit up. Not cool."

I had to pick up my jaw after I read the title of this thread and then the OP. Seriously, what the fuck, human race...SarcasminBloom said:

I'm sorry, but those comments (by the way OP, you deleted the link in your post but seeing as you've been quoted people can still see the article) were bloody hillarious. This obviously doesn't show all Americans but Jesus it shows some retarded ones.
"Those Krauts..." Sorry buddy, Krauts are German.
"This is what they get for starting WW2" Considering the Allies already had Canadian, Australian, Indian and other commonwealth troops fighting with them, I'd say WW2 started before you guys joined, oh I'm sorry I forgot America is the center of the universe and the rest of the world just sort of idles about untill you get involved.
Idiots will be idiots, they are a small minority and all you can really do is laugh. As fun as it is to think this is just Americans, I'm sure if Germany had some major disaster some Brits would be posting comments such as "Two World Wars and One World Cup!" and all that bollocks.
Remember the Youtube videos of the Australian floods and all the people on there taking the piss?

The problem isn't that we Americans have racist, idiotic dumbshits. No, that's a worldwide problem.
No, the problem is that we have the LOUDEST racist, idiotic dumbshits in the world.
To those non-American Escapist users, as an American, I apologize. To those in Japan, help can't come soon enough. To my fellow American Escapist users, join me in the following:
*Facepalm*

The fact that some people can think that a tsunami hitting a WHOLE contery justifies an attack on one naval bace 70 YEARS AGO is alright and proper is amazing. The amount of stupid in these people is off the charts.

OT: Those people are morons but they have the right to say what they like. It is America after all.
No it wasn't. We nuked them so we wouldn't have to invade the country and drasticly increase the death toll for both sides.Eico said:

It takes a really special kind of bigoted retard to say this kind of thing.Pariah87 said:
I mean, if you so wish you can believe offensive things... I guess that's your right. But if you're going to scream about how god is taking revenge on Japan, AT LEAST KNOW WHAT HAPPENED IN WW2! I mean... that Hitler guy MIGHT have had something to do with it ...
god dammit people. yes, back in world war 2, japan attacked us without officially declaring war after agreeing to end fighting with us. we got them back for that; by unleashed the ultimate nuclear fallout on a devastating level on one of their most popular cities, twice. this was like 60 friggin years ago.
this whole "tsunami=revenge for pearl harbor" is some bullshit. i learned in my AP U.S. history class that in the middle of the attack, the japanese imperial general got word that their ambassador hadn't declared war on america before the attack. at that moment, they pulled all of their planes out of pearl harbor. the piolets were going "are you crazy-di-su? we are a killing a them-o!!!" their general said "we forgot to declare war....we are so a fucked-oru" because we were fucking pissed....so we literally made 2 of their most populated cities uninhabitable for some years. and we made them our ***** in the economy from then until now, we fucking own them and they'll never become independent of us, just as a little safeguard to make sure they don't fuck with us again.

Thats just pointless speculation.RedEyesBlackGamer said:
Not to mention they could have dropped the nukes on an uninhabited territory, or at least only dropped the first nuke.
If USA lost the war, they would have been prosecuted for crimes against humanity, thats very clear.
*sigh* I put it down to some bad timing for an elementary school teacher to do that part of history. And some idiots who fail to realise that things on the internet DO affect the real world.
But if it's true, as a British guy living in Tokyo right now, what the hell did England ever do to America?
Oh... um... never mind.

Maybe it's already been mentioned, but I'm too lazy to read through 17 pages.
The /b/ set this up. I was there when they planned it.
But yeah, pretty dick.

O WTF
Some things never change. Birds fly, dogs bark and trolls act like dicks
And besides, if this was payback, it'd probably be for the Chinese
