I just broke up with my girlfriend but like the japanese say there will be another one flaoting by any minute now.

Japan is really advanced, they don't go to the beach, the beach comes to them.

Japan called they said maybe those jokes are a hit in the US but over here they're all sinking


Thanks dan gilbert

Feel free to add more.

the problem isn't that they're too soon, it's that they just aren't humorous

I don't know them and they don't know me. So yeah I guess. Where were they during a bunch of our devistations. I just don't remeber them sending anything over that was helpful to the US.

After a quick google search, it is my best friend after all, I searched "japan sends aid to america" and it corrected me with the opposite.

Lol. So much trolling

I want to claim that "I get trolling"

Then I read this shit, and think, "Well, I get that it's trolling, but it pisses me off"

Which I suppose makes you successful

But makes me wish sincere ill on you

But which I suppose makes you win even more

There's not really a way I come out of this feeling victorious, so I'll have to settle that, every time you feel like you've won, hundreds or thousands of people have died, you prick

I don't know why everyone is all upset about the lack of power due to nuclear reactor meltdowns. There is plenty of current running through the towns.

lol

what were the Gilbert Gottfried jokes?

Quote :
"The tweets include this, posted at 12:33 p.m. Saturday:

"Japan called me. They said 'maybe those jokes are a hit in the U.S., but over here, they're all sinking.'"

Another tweet, posted at 11:06 a.m. the same day, said:

"I was talking to my Japanese real estate agent. I said 'is there a school in this area.' She said 'not now, but just wait.'""

In addition to being in poor taste, the jokes are just not clever.

Aflac doesn't care about black convicts.

That's because 75% of their customer base is in Japan (according to yahoo news anyway.)

K im sorry if I have offended you grumpy. Actually I take that back. You don't come to tww and expect to not see something offensive everyday. Maybe I post that stuff too much.
After I read his jokes on the situation i thought to myself, I think the trolls and overall humor of the wolf web would take light of this, as they do of most disassters, so I think ill post this topic.

I can think of a few topics where people have been hurt or died and the people of this forum have made a few pages of insults that the familys or races or even countries would take offense to but it seems to be no harm for the most part.
