If you mean that the USA did some crap stuff too, you're right.
But in that case, the whole world should take cover.

I'm pretty sure the world is falling apart.

I bet that San Andreas fault quake is going to go off really soon, and seriously change the coast of North America.

I wouldn't say falling apart more like restructuring itself which it HAS to do over time

I'm sure there's something to find about Switzerland.

this is a disaster but it's not a sign of the world ending. I'm so tired of these apocalyptic theories.

Interestingly enough, when Pearl Harbor was bombed Hawai'i was a territory not a state.

Either way the people making those comments are idiots. Idiots who, considering the fact that they're on Facebook, were presumably not even alive when Pearl Harbor happened. More than likely their parents weren't alive either.

For every moronic remark you can find on the net from people who don't know any better, there's a multitude of decent individuals posting their sympathy and empathy at what is happening in Japan and in other places around the world, right now.
What concerns me more are the actions of politicians and world organisations.
Too little, too late.
These people are the real morons.

The hypocrisy of people to act accordingly when tragedy strikes in their hometown, but to act like that when it happens anywhere else, and to think that atrocities committed by their own government are somehow justifiable as opposed to atrocities committed by another. Do they think the Japanese were claiming punishment for Hiroshima/Nagasaki when Katrina struck?

Got it. I misunderstood your first comment.

I think what's scarier than the earthquake at the moment is the nuclear crisis in Japan at the moment, which could potentially affect the whole world.

Not to mention some of them look like they're 12... which is actually kind of upsetting. I was a dumbass when I was that age too but was in no way capable of supporting a tragedy like this.
