Whether it is 1 million that dies, or 1 person dies, suffering is still suffering and it is still inappropriate to make jokes about it.
Just because you suffered a lot doesn't give anyone the right to make fun of others who suffered less.
What is so simple minded about that?
When did I make jokes?
I agree with what you say about suffering but it doesn't make sense to falsely think that a million people died is the same thing as a hundred.
Also, it's under my impression that Viets are the ones who constantly "joke" about Chinese suffering such as the Nanjing Massacre.
What's simple-minded is that you believe all suffering are the same, when they are not. Again, having acid poured on you is not the same as being bitten by a mosquito.
