I felt like this deserved its own thread.
If you haven't seen this yet, people are comparing Pearl Harbor and the Tsunami like this is God/Karma's revenge. Pretty ridiculous stuff.

3/13/2011 12:30:50 PM

some of these people act like Pearl Harbor "attacked" Japan with the tsunami, weird

3/13/2011 12:31:39 PM

^ Maybe it did

"ok..if you have been following the news.... ANOTHER NUKE plant with extra high levels of radioactivity has been threatened in Japan. Should we be readying for another 'Pearl Harbor"? I really don't know."

I really don't know what the hell is going on with that statement.

im wondering what percentage of the people affected in Japan were even old enough to be somewhat responsible for Pearl Harbor

3/13/2011 12:51:22 PM

i think its roughly 6.3%

3/13/2011 12:52:01 PM

Anyone know how much aid Japan sent after Katrina?

3/13/2011 12:52:57 PM

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_response_to_Hurricane_Katrina

not as much as we're sending them because THEY DESERVE IT.

edit:

hahaha from that link:

Quote :

"Paraguay Made offers of help and assistance, and sent 14 gravy boats with ladles."

double edit:

Quote :

"Jamaica Made offers of help and assistance and sent 5 tons of Marijuana, delivered by a boat crewed by 25 Rastafarians."

pretty credible info

an interesting counterpoint

"If this Earthquake is Japan's Karmatic punishment for Pearl Harbor, I dread to see what ours will be for Hiroshima and Nagasaki. -amazingatheist (twitter)"

Japan's katrina aid:

Quote :

"They are also a generous people. After Katrina, the Japanese government offered material and monetary assistance that surpassed $1 million and that included tents, blankets, power generators and portable water tanks. Japan also provided $200,000 to the American Red Cross to aid hurricane victims. In addition, Takashi Endo, a private businessman in Japan, donated $1 million from his personal funds to Katrina relief efforts. -http://www.nola.com/opinions/index.ssf/2011/03/time_to_repay_japan.html"

3/13/2011 12:54:52 PM

we nuked two of their cities and firebombed another, holy shit people...

3/13/2011 12:57:42 PM

I'd love to have a gravy boat full of ladies.

3/13/2011 1:04:33 PM

I'm pretty sure that we evened the score with two atom bombs

3/13/2011 1:06:29 PM

ha

the comments from black folks amuse me

because they can turn around and say the same stupid things about slavery from x years ago

3/13/2011 1:28:12 PM

Our punishment for Hiroshima and Nagasaki is that we have to put up with these morons on a daily basis.

3/13/2011 1:35:40 PM

America does suck

I'm pretty sure we fire bombed their capital full of innocent people. I'm relatively sure we didn't nuke military installations either. This junk about karma is not even well founded.

And if you've got a complaint why did you buy near anything electronic in the last 30 years?

3/13/2011 2:15:39 PM

these people are pieces of shit

3/13/2011 2:16:58 PM

unfortunately this is not only bound to America.


shit like this is everywhere


but yeah-these people are pieces of shit.

3/13/2011 2:18:52 PM

to be fair, Japan's Tsunami waves tried to attack Pearl Harbor this week.

3/13/2011 2:28:28 PM

the US is the ONLY country to have used a nuclear weapon on another nation, but somehow there still needs to be retribution for Pearl Harbor

also, is this guy extremely lucky or extremely unlucky?

Quote :

"People who suffered the effects of both bombings are known as niju hibakusha in Japan. On March 24, 2009, the Japanese government officially recognized Tsutomu Yamaguchi (1916–2010) as a double hibakusha. He was confirmed to be 3 kilometers from ground zero in Hiroshima on a business trip when Little Boy was detonated. He was seriously burnt on his left side and spent the night in Hiroshima. He arrived at his home city of Nagasaki on August 8, a day before Fat Man was dropped, and he was exposed to residual radiation while searching for his relatives. He was the first officially recognised survivor of both bombings."

I've been seeing this shit. I still can't believe people are really that fucking dumb. I mean it's baffling. How stupid/insensitive can a group of people be?

3/13/2011 3:37:35 PM

I am suprised that a lot of you guys are suprised by those people's comments.

3/13/2011 4:02:55 PM

Thankfully, I have no friends who are this dumb.

3/13/2011 4:09:03 PM

That's messed up.

3/13/2011 4:11:17 PM

It's one thing to see people anonymously posting retarded/obnoxious/insensitive things. But facebook puts your name and picture to an opinion. I guess some people just don't care.

The worst I got is that the Tsunami/Earthquakes equals the end of Days in Revelations.

3/13/2011 8:43:24 PM

If facebook were in China, I wonder how many of them would be saying its revenge for Nanking?

But seriously, if we are going to talk about Karma...
