What about [this woman](http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=TeOdSmlacqY)? I really wonder why the extremist types seem to be so fond of the gore. I also wonder how she missed that little tidbit of fact that the population of Japan are not all atheists–there are even Christians there, too. ---

> [@Monty](#): > > I wonder what those “It’s payback!” folks will think about their future when prospective employers check their social media sites, notice those posts, and then decide they don’t need such morons in their employ. Ah, a bright side to it! They aren’t likely the sort of people whose employers check social media sites. They are the sort of people who would apply for jobs for which an ability to think clearly would make you overqualified and likely to quit through boredom. ---

Well, it turns out that woman’s hobby was [making “troll videos.”](http://www.tntmagazine.com/tnt-today/archive/2011/03/15/tamtampamela-video-god-is-so-good-for-japan-s-earthquake-and-tsunami.aspx) She got quite the backlash from that one, some of the backlash criminal (as in actually illegal). The criminal stuff is unacceptable. ---

Payback for Pearl Harbour ? Hardly. Japan may have been built over an old Indian cemetary however. ---

Both my Grandfather and Great-Grandfather were held in inhuman conditions by the Japanese as (civilian) prisoners of war. I still find this “payback or pearl harbour” pretty disgusting. ---

I still find this “payback or pearl harbour” pretty disgusting. As well as my father-in-law who was actually in the misery of the South Pacific Theater fighting against the Japanese during WW2; you’d think he would join the train ride to Paybackville. Nope…he was just as saddened by the catastrophe there too as we were. ---

Well, if there’re idiots who blame Jew for killing Jesus, which happened nearly 2000 years ago, blaming those Kraut-Japs for Pearl Harbor isn’t too much of a stretch for their pea-sized brains. ---

That’s because your father-in-law is a decent human being with a functioning brain. ---

Yeah, it’s all 4 shots Lloyd Bridges compiled together – harmless, although now I can imagine some government officials in Japan probably saying/doing the same thing.
