@TheKAIKAI21 hey, just so u know, most people wish japan a speedy recovery and wish them well. dont pay attention to losers like those that sit safely in their mums bedroom on the internet, and are angry at being 40 yrs old and still a virgin (mums and sisters dont count). funny thing is, if something bad happened to them, they would be the first ones to expect others sympathy.

ya know.. i find it amusing that there are some americans that consider 9/11 out of bounds for making jokes, bad comments etc...but those same ppl find it ok to make fun of the japanese in this vid. i guess it shows how piss weak these ppl are in real life. i hope all of those ppl have something really bad happen to them, and have a whole lot of ppl laughing at you while ur in serious need and pain. that would be great, and make me feel a whole lot better.

@Lomenemix Your evil... You feel no sympathy of innocent Japanese people that NEVER participated in WW2!? Many of them weren't even born yet, children, women, eldery DIED in this and just look at you. Maybe I shouldn't feel sorry for all the African slaves, Native Americans that were massacred, and countless Japanese Americans that were forced into internment. Not to mention the two Atomic Bombs.

By the way Thailand? What are you talking about Thailand and Japan are strong allies.
