I recently linked to this on facebook with the a body of text claiming it was the de facto reason I was so jaded and considered a vast majority of people "unworthy fleshbags" but in the discussion that followed, a few good points were raised.
I keep hearing my foreign friends referring to "Americans" as worthless due to "all of us" thinking this. Its kind of funny because before you posted this, I never heard or seen anything outside of constant support for Japan over both Facebook, the local news, and around town.
Not only are the people who say this ignorant and inconsiderate jackasses, but they're a reinforcement of that "Americans are ignorant, inconsiderate, and stuck up" image that I so very much hate.
I think the best part is that there are people who believe that Japan deserves karma for something which happened 70 years ago: not only is karma slower than I'd expect, its aim is poor since a nice majority of the inhabitants in Japan are either less than 70 years old or even United States soldiers stationed there. But, of course, thats inconsequential if you're blindly hating an entire race of people. With that said, I felt it was worth clarifying due to my initial "I hate the majority of humanity" outlook when first regarding the link: I like humanity. I think we have a lot of potential, but I also think stupidity is more prominent than intelligence: as well as disregard for others. Which is just sad. Without knowledge, intelligence, and general goodwill toward others of our kind, we're basically just another virus draining life from the planet.
