when i first saw the devastation of the quake, i instantly had the idea... damn this came a few decades too late.
imagine if this happened during WWII...
so many american lives would have been saved.

that said, OP, they are referring to the level of destruction. not trying to discredit their deserving the ass whooping they got in WWII

Yea, screw the Japanese, they started a war with us once.

But, as long as we are on the subject. Remember that New Zealand quake? Well, they were part of the British Empire and they burned down our capitol in the war of 1812. So screw them too… and Canada.

Screw the Mexicans (Mexican American war) and the Spanish (Spanish American war) too. And the Germans, Italians, and the Russians (cold war.) Screw the French (on general principles) and the entire fucking Middle East for obvious reason. China can go screw themselves for the Korean war… Korea was occupied by Japan in WWII so screw them for helping the Japanese. Screw the Indians (feather) for all the raids and screw the Indians (dot) for taking our tech support jobs. And all you damn Yankees… screw you for the Civil War and Sherman. And all the Southerners that voted for the Democrats… screw all y’all. And you Auburn fans can kiss my ass.

Basically, screw everybody on the whole planet. Somehow every single one of you, or your ancestors, has done something bad to me, or my ancestors. I ain’t in the forgiving mood so screw every last one of you...

since WWII. WTF? Are they implying that they weren't responsible for it? That they didn't start the war in the Pacific? That they weren't the aggressors? That the war was disaster that was just foisted on them?

I didnt take it that way, although historically the Japanese have had trouble when it comes to assignment of blame for WW2.

My point exactly. WWII could have been avoided (by them) , to make any comparisons to their current situation is ridiculous.

No cause we still would have to go after hitler.

WWII was a disaster for the Japanese.

I'm amazed that anyone finds this a controversial statement.

I would tend to think that having two cities entirely annihilated, and your entire industrial capacity destroyed a disaster, yes. A man-made disaster.

That does not mean that they didn't deserve it at the time.

Trying to find some COC compliant way to call OP a dumbfuck and just not coming up with much. It's not often you can say "First 15 posts nailed it."

It's a shame that such tremendous fucking stupidity is posted under the name of a great American like Alvin York.

Yes, the Japanese started the war with us. And with China, and Russia.

And they paid for it in blood, and have the "honor" of being the only nation in history to recieve canned sunshine in anger. Twice.

WE started war with England. Twice. They seem to have forgiven us for that, and are our best allies (despite what Obama thinks).

WWII is over. They started it, and we kicked their teeth down their throat. They are our best allies in the Pacific now. Don't hate on 'em, pray for them.

Looking for permission to use "canned sunshine" in future conversations of mine.

Don't look for it from Loki41872, that's not an original phrase. And I don't think it's copywrited.

Don't overthink this. To the average Japanese citizen, both the A-bombs and this earthquake are disasters.

Even if they started it, WWII was a disaster for them in the end.

+1

WWII hit them very badly, even without the bombing. The country wasn't wealthy enough to fight a multi––front war. Both the homefront and the military starved.

Nope... not my phrase. Hear it daily on arfcom, and heard it before even coming here. Use it at will.

Some Japanese see WWII as a disaster brought upon the people by their leaders.
