Really? Why?

Even though I disagree with them...and think the whole "Pearl Harbor Payback" thing is retarded, everyone is entitled to their own opinion, and/or to parrot the opinion of others...no matter how stupid it may be.

There's having a difference of opinion, and then there's just being plain wrong. These people are just fucking wrong. There's no counter-argument to this level of mental retardation.

If I said 2+2=7, would you say I was entitled to my own opinion?

A lot of people don't seem to understand this, that opinions can be wrong.

Certainly...you're entitled to your own opinion...even when it's wrong.

Come on, even the governor of Tokyo said something just as fucking stupid:

"Tokyo Governor Shintaro Ishihara told reporters March 14 that the March 11 earthquake and tsunami was “punishment from heaven” because the Japanese people had become greedy.*"

Castration prevents breeding, and these people are proving far too stupid to deserve to breed. They're ignoring the facts that:
A.) The people that bombed pearl harbor are not the people there now... therefore no "payback" is present
B.) We already paid them back in the form of 2 quite destructive nuclear bombs in populated areas. Payback was swift and some would argue more than deserved (not me, but just saying)

So, in closing... people this dumb shouldn't breed. It's what darwin would want.

Wow. What a bunch of ignorant assholes.

Japan had already been punished to hell and back for Pearl Harbor. Besides that was 70 years ago, their culture now is completely different.

Hell it still bothers me when people use the WWII card when they try to explain in what ways the USA is better than the UK, France, Germany, etc. It's annoying as fuck and just shows how ignorant you are.

You don't seem to understand that these people are purposefully trolling to get a reaction out of people. It worked perfectly with you. Nobody actually believes that this is retribution for Pearl Harbor. Nobody.

...and it's not just the fact that they aren't the same people after 70 years. The attack on Pearl Harbor was a military action. Why would anyone believe these individuals should suffer for the acts of their govt 70 years ago?

Some might be trolling, sure. But I'm willing to bet that quite of few those people actually think and feel that. The average person that populates these forums is pretty smart (with a few exceptions... 😀), and I don't think any one of us think that. But, I don't know about the average person that populates Facebook and what they think.

Um, much like our own politicians say when they are trying to get to the public?


How many of our own have used the same kind of "holy retribution" crap to explain things like the Recession? Only difference is, they tend to point the finger of blame (sin) at "the other guy"

So it's OK for the Governor of Tokyo to blame the disaster on "Heavenly Intervention," but not OK for anyone else? Gotcha.

Wrong. My niece is exactly the type of person to seriously post (and re-post) this stuff on Facebook.

It's just as stupid. I agree free speech should allow these people to say whatever the fuck they want. However I wouldn't compare the two quite as the later is fuelled a lot more by hate and racism along with stupidity while the first is just more pure stupidity.

Cultural context. Read "Heavenly Intervention" as "Natural Phenomenon"
