2. I absolutely do NOT mean this in any way, shape, or form......

But I really want to take this to the idiots that said the Japanese Earthquake was punishment for Pearl Harbor ask their dumb asses what sort of punishment is this for the U.S.'s past screwups.

Obviously us sane people know it's no type of punishment. I really just want to throw that into their pathetic faces. I could NOT believe the ignorant facebook statuses I read when the Earthquake happened. Simply disgusting.
