Japan is a first world country like we are. Sendai is a large and beautiful city. I don't know what poverty has to do with any of this.

EW is suggesting that Japan somehow manages not to loot and riot, unlike our urban areas during, lets say... Katrina. It's thinly veiled racism.

Thing is, Japan not being prepared for earthquakes would be like my hometown not being prepared for a tornado. The fact that New Orleans was not prepared for a hurricane was the whole fucking point.

Not all urban areas.

Nashville did fine.

The point of...rioting and looting?

You know, you still haven't addressed the fact that your story about your pledging and membership is inconsistent. Going to keep running away from that?


Or you could just go back to your fratty forums where everyone will agree with you about those inferior minorities.

Why do you believe minorities are inferior?

That's disgusting. I knew there was something rotten with you.

I gave up at "I still ain't forgave japan for Pearl harbor"

Because clearly, dude was present for the attack. And every current resident of Japan was responsible for the attack.
