People are already saying crap about the "end times" and "the return of Jesus" just because of the earthquake in Japan! One person even managed to connect three separate events together because they all happened on the 11th of the month (not the same month, and years apart mind you, but "it's not a coincidence!").
The statistical odds of events happening on the same day of the month are at most 31 to 1... there being only a maximum of thirty one days in the longest months. The person failed to mention all of the other disasters that have not happened on the 11th... but only the ones that did! I failed to be impressed by this news... if all earthquakes and/or tsunamis happened only on the 11th of any month, I would start to worry, but to take three individual events and tie them together just because they share the date of the 11th is lunacy (and with the super Moon coming soon, the pun was intended!! LOL).
There are also those that believe that "Japan had it coming" and that "they deserved it for what they did at Pearl Harbour"... and yes, they are for real! That would be like my revelling in something happening to present day Germany for what happened in The Blitz! How damn cruel are people?!
The only thing I will say is that to me it seemed worse for Haiti. Unlike Japan, Haiti is a very poor, third world country and they have had to rely on the rest of the world for help as they were powerless to do anything for themselves... Japan is a first world country and can do as much to help itself as the rest of the world can help it. They have machines and technology that Haiti could never even dream of... but I still wouldn't deny them help just because we were enemies 70 years ago or because they are considered a rich country! I can kind of understand old people thinking like that... for them it was personal and although it was a long time ago some wounds never heal, no matter the time-scale involved - but to be glad over thousands of innocent men, women and children dying and losing everything they possess... who are the inhuman ones there?
Just having to read rubbish like that makes me so tired... sometimes it even makes me embarrassed to be human and share a species with such total arseholes!
