    Japan: Before and After

    Amazing

    There are two things to see here. First is the vast extent of the devastation in Japan. Second is the technology used to present this. It happened just a few days ago. Run your cursor from the extreme right side of the screen and slide it across each photo, right to left. It peels back the "before" photo to show the "after" photo of the same scene.

    Really bad. When I saw the first pictures on Friday I got the impression that the epicentre was just far enough out at sea that the damage would not be too bad. Since then it has just looked worse and worse.

    I feel so sad for them
    The same way as a culture they viewed the treatment of English,Australian and US Prisoners of War
    The same way as a culture they viewed the genocide of over 100K+ Northern Chinese
    The same way as a culture they took teen girls from Korea,Indonesia and the Philippines and turned them into sex slaves
    AND THEIR COMPLETE REFUSAL AS A SOCIETY TO ACKNOWLEDGE ANY WRONG DURING THAT TIME IN WORLD HISTORY

    I wonder if this is worse than the nuke bombs we dropped on them in WW2 ?

    Anybody know the answer to that one ?

    Not even close. At least 150,000 were killed by the direct results of those explosions.
    Estimates of how many died of the after effects vary but could easily be 80,000 more.

    Not a huge fan myself of the Japs! I do hate this for anyone, any innocent people, but its just hard not to still think about what that nation has done to this one & what a cruel horrible society they used to be.

    My great uncle just died 2 years ago, he was on the Bataan death march & was a Japanese POW for 4 or 5 years I guess, I cant remember how long now from the fall of Bataan & Corregidor until the end of the war but it was an incredibly long time.

    You talk about some fukin stories! And a man to his dying day would kick you in the fukin nuts if you even mentioned rice

    wow, some of you are complete jerkoffs.

    when katrina devastated new orleans, did the japanese say "good, fuk em. they murdered thousands of iraqi civilians, murdered and stole land from native indians, my lai, no gun ri, oh and dropped 2 nukes on our heads"?

    no, they immediately donated over $13 million to katrina victims.

    oh what horrible people.

    IDU why they had so many people populated near the ocean. Nor why those crazie asians would have Power Plants and Nuclear sites near the ocean like if they were unharmed by natural disasters.

    those arent japs, those are americans. I think you are confusing ancestry with nationality
