BBC News: AMERICA TO SEND 2 NUCLEAR EXPERTS TO JAPAN The last time they sent "Nuclear Experts" to Japan, they killed 105,000 people...
Worried about my Japanese friend following the recent natural disaster, I tried his mobile and - miraculously - I got through. I must say, I was surprised to hear him going on about a massive increase in jobs being created in Japan...something about a new career explosion?
I had a phone call from my Japanese mate also, he told me his girlfriend had left him. I said not to worry, there are plenty more Japs in the sea.
Ok so now I know why I don't live in the UK any more. Nice jokes keep them up. I'll pass them on to my friend who has just lost not just his home, but his whole ****ing town, family and neighbours. Bunch of pricks.
It's pathetic. I wonder how many of these people would make the same jokes to people who have had their lives destroyed if they were ever to meet them. Cowards.
Making jokes about a tragedy doesn't make you hard it makes you look pathetic, but you're too stupid to understand that. "Everybody look at me I'm macking jokes about people dieing, aren't I big, hard and clever!". Maybe you would feel different if it was your house and life that was destroyed and your family and friends lying dead. I wonder if you would point at their lifeless bodies and laugh then.
Jokes about this sort of stuff are just british humour. We certainly do joke about our own tragedies aswell. It hurts nobody.
My mum told me that one about 'plenty more japs in the sea' last night in the pub while saying "isn't it bloody awful" and giving a guilty laugh. Because I can make joke about a situation doesn't mean to say I don't care about the situation or I'm laughing at the people in that situation. It's a joke, a joke is a ****ing joke. Some of you people need to get over yourselves and stop trying to be offended. Seriously this is no worse than what South Park would come out with - and a quote from the South Park creators was "either it's all good, or none of it is good - we can't pick and choose what we make fun of, we make fun of it all".
My heart goes out to those in japan! The last time I had 10 aftershocks I couldn't find my house either!
In the last few years I've lost family and friends to cancer, heart disease and even anorexia. Yet when I see or hear people making jokes about these subjects I don't get upset. They are only jokes. I'm sick and tired of being made to feel guilty due to faux grief. It started with the death of Princess Diana and has steadily got worse since. I actually question the mentality of people who come onto places like football forums to express their faux grief as if it actually means something. Do you really think the people of Japan give a flying **** that some people on an online sports forum 10,000 miles away are making jokes?
