There was a tsunami in Japan, in case you haven't heard about it. Some idiots are saying that they deserved it because they're "killing whales and dolphins" and they bombed Pearl Harbor and stuff.

What close-minded pieces of crap.

"Seriously, it's like saying Haiti deserved its earthquake and cholera for being black voodoo practitioners (not being prejudice, it IS more popular there. some might see it as 100% voodoo)." - Brandon (my friend)

Natural disasters aren't anyone's fault, and nobody deserves it, hence the word "natural". What do you guys think?

EDIT: Also, this is a Failbook post on ignorance regarding the tsunami. Tsunami in Japan: A Wave of Ignorance

[Sleipnir36]

Japan can survive earthquakes and tsunamis without suffering too mutch due to his high technology standarts, but the lack in the nuclear power plant can give deep problems, if the hole will not be fixed.

While I'm sure Japan will make it through this, I'm disappointed with stupidity everywhere on the internet regarding this. Plus, as Sleipnir36 stated, the repercussions from the tsunami should be pretty bad.

[Prince Marph]

Lol I had huge mixed emotions on this.

So first. I go onto Yahoo yesterday to check my mail. Then I see this shit. And Imma like

"HOLY ****. ARE YOSHI AND THE GRANDKIDS 'ALRIGHT""

Cuz we like have what you call "friends" there, amirite. Turns out they're probably okay, but I can't contact her, and mom hasn't made an effort to call her yet, mainly because she's on the safest part of the island basically although sometimes I wish mom would show a wee bit of courtesy, as a gesture amirite

But no. Nobody told me that until I got home from school. So I'm worried the hell out cuz I'm thinking this whole time that they might have gotten hurt. Turns out she's okay probs and mom's other Japanese friends are okay too, which were closer to the epicenter.

But then I see the stuff on tv and I'm all saddened and stuff because its absolutely horrific. And I feel really bad. And then. And then. AND THEN I SEE THIS.

"So then what's the big deal". On a fairly respectable forum mind you.

AND THEN I'M LIKE RAGE RAGE RAGE

I COULDN'T GO TO SLEEP CUZ OF THE RAEG

AND I WAS STILL RAGING THIS MORNING

I DIDN'T GET SLEEP CUZ I WAS IN RAEG

THEN THE NEWS STATIONS KEEP MAKING STUPID COMPARISONS TO CHERNOBYL

THEN IMMA LIKE MOAR RAEG

Then I took a nap and now I feel better. I still feel bad about it though.

Totally wish the ****ing news stations didn't give me a ****ing heart attack over everything though. ****in' hell. Oh yeah, and all those racist hicks who say the Japanese deserved it should die in a fire. Seriously, they do realize AMERICAN'S were there too, amirite? And that AMERICANS do actually kinda live in Japan, amirite? ****ing morons.

[Fire Blazer]

Honestly ignorant people piss me off. A lot.

It's really terrible what happened. I don't have any friends but I know Japanese people haven't done anything wrong to deserve such a tragedy. I really hope they can get back on their feet and stand strong through this trial. And while I won't lie and say I'm not worried about manga/anime people, I DO realize that there are millions of people there and that this is serious business and we aren't talking about some minor earthquake.

I mean, 8.9? Dang... o_O

[Tino]

I think it's terrible. It's great of course that Japan was reasonably well prepared with its incredible technology, but that doesn't take away that this is horrible for the Japanese people.

I also heard rumors of a second tsunami coming soon. I haven't heard any confirmation yet, though. Let's hope that won't be the case!

[Sea Lion]

Actually Blazer, they uped it to a 9.1 earlier today I think.

This is really awful, but like all of you have said, Japan was ready for this. Japan is right on the edge of the Pacific Plate, so they get minor earthquakes all the time. Because of this their their buildings are constructed to resist earthquakes. If you compare the damage done by this earthquake and, say, the earthquake in Hait the damage is very differnt. The buildings aren't lying all over the place, but everything in the streets was torn apart.

[DarkMaster11100]

This is very sad for Japan. They lost a LOT of people and due to their high population it was more than people expect. There have been a lot of random natural disasters and I hope it doesn't continue. It is even coming without any warning. More and more random natural disasters are making me think that the 2012 apocalypse theory is real and going to happen. Let's pray and hope that no more natural disasters appear again.

[thedespised2166]

I feel so sorry for the incident in japan.
So many people were killed during the incident. Why care about "Ooh! When are they going to make more anime?" Or anything else of the matter. What we need to do is help Japan out.
Unlike these dicks. Yes, I said it, but you'd say the same thing just as I did.

I know the picture's big, but I just wanted to show how many people don't give a shit about Japan.
Why should there be such ignorant and stubborn people such as these in the world?

[George_The_Unseen]

^People are seriously using Pearl Harbor as their excuse?

Thats in the past! Its done! and its over with!

People need to stop living in the past... I mean they don't have to

donate anything but stop being rude and grow up....

And think about it... We get most of our technology from Japan.. And if

Japan blows over (Not saying it will...) We probably will lose all of our

technology... (Not sayng I only care about Japan for their technology...
I'm actually worried about the people...)

EDIT: By the way the people who said that stuff on facebook probably were never alive when Pearl Harbor happened...

[Sleipnir36]

These loosers from Despised coulage representate everything what everyone outside thinks about the USA: no general knowledge about anything, blind nationalism, typical "we're better than you" attitude imported from the old europe of the 18th century and general stupidism. Also USA triggered the attack to Pearl Harbor ca. 140 years (from 2011) ago with the influrence of their "better" zivilisation and their forced opening of Japan for the international market, just as a notiz.

We better should shut down as many nuclear power plants as fast as possible to prevent cataclysm like in Nagashima and support the researcing of regenerative energy tecniques and protest against the supporter of these dangerous energy forms, like I did last saturday with 60000 other people.

[Soviet Comrade]

Oh my God. Americans. Not all of you, of course, but when your educational institutions result in the above messages...that's just bad.
Pretty sure Japanese helicopters went to help after Hurricane Katrina crashed on your doorstep, so to speak. But saying "Japan nuked pearl harbor, they deserve it"...the only cure for your stupidity is death.

[Prince Marph]

I hate being a member of a country so full of biggots. This event ****ing worried the shit out of me, I'm glad everyone we know is alright but I'm still quite upset about it. Worst part? I heard kids at school, ****ing KIDS AT SCHOOL making fun of this like this was some sort of joke.

Those comments comparing Hiroshima and Nagasaki to some sort of scoreboard make me want to punch something. Seriously, that ****ing cuts deep, especially if you lived there. Do these people realize that Americans live in Japan too? OH MY GOD *rips out someones hair*

[Ridge]

Interesting how no one mentioned the NUCLEAR BOMBS AND THE KILLING OF MILLIONS, NOT TO MENTION THE NUCLEAR RADIATION AFTERWARDS.

But yeah. Insensitive idiots.

[Blood Falcon]

[Prince Marph]

But that's like saying that the US deserves to have a major catastrophic event occur to them because we eat 45.5+ million tonnes of fish annually. :/

Nobody deserves anything like that, really.

I laughed at the moron who said "They started WWII" Um no, that was the Nazi's you stupid ****.
