Tsunami "payback" for Pearl Harbour

[VanityGirl]

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

Oh yeah, they were. There's still people in Japan with health problems because of the nukes that were dropped.

OT: Your first mistake was viewing comment of other people on the internet. The time I look at comments outside the escapist is when I go to YouTube for a laugh.

 

[aegix drakan_v1legacy]

........Ok, that's just disgusting.

Also didn't the US already get their payback when they NUKED TWO INNOCENT CIVILIAN TOWNS?!

...Think the world forgot about THAT?

This comes up every time, and I get tired of having to remind people that the nukes in Japan saved more lives than they ended.
EDIT: Ninja'd

Can we clear this up: Hiroshima and Nagasaki are far more complex issues than people on this thread are making out. They quite arguably saved far more lives than they took.

[sub]Note that I'm not condoning either event, just pointing it out.[/sub]

Here's the thing, I understand and accept that dropping the nukes was necessary. What I DON'T and cannot condone is that it was two civilian towns. If they would have hit towns that were part of the military structure or were of vital strategic importance, then I wouldn't be that upset.

If this has already been brought up, do forgive but this has been brought to my attention:

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.

"getting a little more payback for peal harbour. they thought we forgot about that BS, didn't they?"

"Remember pearl harbour? Go tsunami go!"

Only two brief examples of a torrent of idiotic comments that seriously make one wonder where people get this crap from.

What are your thoughts, Escapists?

Are you fucking kidding me? RIP the American flag from around your neck and realize that Pearl Harbor was 60 (?) years ago! This is not "revenge" and besides Kamikaze winds (natural forces in general) have favored Japan in the past. You (not OP, but those quoted) make me ashamed to be American! Go commit seppukku or some shit, your life has no value.

*sigh*

That was more like revenge than retribution.

They are more complex. But the loss of life is never good.

The U.S was as big a monster as the enemy they were fighting.

The U.S. where the ones that kept this really hushed up as to not shame the country of Japan, Trust me those Nukes were no where near as bad as what Japan did in WW2.

I don't agree that "the tsunami is payback" but seriously Japan was as bad if not worse than Hitler and the Nazi's in WW2.

If it was payback for Pearl Harbor you'd think it'd have happened to the people who actually had a part in Pearl Harbor, most of the people affected now weren't old enough do be a part of Pearl Harbor. Most of the veterans are all in their 80's and dying off quickly, earthquakes or not.

More importantly do they think it was something the United States did on purpose or God?

If the first taking credit for it kind of ruins what must be some covert supervillain shit. If the second God took his fucking time.

I think it's really funny how some on this forum are actually lumping these few total dickheads with an entire nation of culturally diverse people.

Two sides of the same coin.

I have met many Americans and am proud to call some my friends -- they are very humane and intelligent people.

I think some of us here need to remind themselves that there are assholes and saints everywhere.

This is true I guess. (I mean, you just have to look to Barack Obama to know that America isn't ALL bad) But seriously, I can think of no other country that could spawn people that are so stupid, ignorant and just plain shitty all rolled into one!

I'm not saying my country is perfect (I'm British btw), but I can tell you for a fact that if a natural disaster struck Germany right now and left thousands dead; no one, and I mean ABSOLUTELY FUCKING NO ONE here would be claiming that it was revenge for the Blitz.

 

[Baldry]

Well this is a grand spectacle, I love humanity.

 

[KazOondo]

I thought the millions upon millions of Japanese that died in WWII were "payback".

 

[-Ulven-]

*ahem* If this is so I want to say on Japans behalf (I'm from Norway) When Americaa gets THERI payback from 2 things

1. VIETNAM BITCHES.
2. HIRSOSHIMA AND NAGASAKI MOTHER****.

Yea... pretty much that... Some japanese and vietnamese are going to get just sayings in that. Stupid Americans (not all Americans just the ones) should pay. What a cheap shot.mUUURGH RAAGE!

 

[Hazard09]

I checked a few of these facebook profiles. It looks like many of them are catching major flak for this. Some I think even deleted their profiles.

 

[Kenjitsuka]

That is utterly unbelievable!
Let's hope karma is real, so these haters can get *their* payback for being so evil.

wouldnt the 2 nukes droped on japan been enough payback for pearl harbour?

so what was katrina/orleans payback for?

Plus this.

 

[Von Dean]

All I can say is that i'm gonna laugh real hard when the San Andreas fault line cracks wide open...insensitive assholes,the nukes dopped on japan were way more then payback

 

[Bloodstain]

lol @ the one saying Japan started World War II...it was us Germans! No wonder people don't hate us anymore, they don't even know what happened.

Besides, the two nuclear bombs were more than enough payback, I'd claim.

Edit: And someone calls the Japanese "krauts"...that's so stupid it's not even funny anymore.

 

[LavaLampBamboo]

You have to love the one calling the Japanese "krauts". Seriously? SERIOUSLY?

Also, if anyone ever says that Pearl Harbour STARTED WW2, slap them in the face. It had been going on for two years prior to that. It's always wound me up a bit.

But these people are just awful... Seriously terrible.

 

[solar065]

There just are certain people the world could do without.

 

[BlackSaint09]

okay...
so America lost some soldiers and planes in a true blooded naval assault on a naval station were there were Warships stationed during a war. And Americas response is to drop Nuclear bombs on citys full of civilians...
WHY THE FUCK DOESNT AN EARTHQUAKE EVER RAVAGE THE REAL BAD GUYS????!!!!
Also sorry for my somewhat gibberish reply. English aint my native tongue and my ability to speak the language has recently been declining for some reason. Oh and sorry if i went a little overboard! I dont hate ALL Americans or anything.

 

[Stewie Plisken]

Wait, so America caused the earthquake?
Umm, how?

Allegedly, Chuck Noris punched a rock. It happens.

 

[archvile93]

As an American I just have to say this. You're kidding right OP? Please tell me you're kidding? That this is all some huge hoax. Wasn't the rest of WWII more than enough payback for these people?

Also, to the nuking was wrong people, the only alternative was a full scale invasion which would have been far more costly when counting the bodies from even one side, and possibly the ahniliation of Japan as a nation.

 

[The Unworthy Gentleman]

Huh, I was sure that the US dropped devastating nuclear bombs on two of Japan's cities causing millions to suffer horrifying pain, death and destruction. Oh, guess I must have been wrong.

I also guess that there will always be some dumbass dicks.
