Just thought you might want to know about the first seller of Ice cream in Canada.

Woah!
Well. That was random.

Slaughtering approximately 150,000 innocent civilians isn't exactly a prideful act.


I can already see your counter argument coming.

lol...technically it was over anyways, and the US deaths would have been insignificant to the deaths of the Japanese army....although i don't believe nuking them was the right idea....and also TWO nukes...i think more than anything US just wanted to flex their muscle at the world....just IMO...anyways back on topic... err, is anyone participating in a parade or celebration of any sort?

What happened in the past happened...lets talk more current events...how about that plane thing that was shot down yesterday killing 15 more Americans? [sarcasm] But yea, we really need to be in Iraq...because of all those weapons of mass destruction right? They're a threat to the entire world I tell ya! [/sarcasm] But will Busch ever admit that we need to get out of Iraq, or actually do it? Hell no, hes way to cool for that.

Somebody in WWII calculated that nuking Japan would create fewer casualties than letting the war with the empire continue... even if the casualties were civilian as opposed to military.


Nukes are supposed to be tools of leverage. Do what I say, or you get the nuke. I'd say the Japanese felt the US was bluffing... and if they were, the war would be prolonged with great casualties and ultimately the leverage would never be useful. After the first bomb was dropped, I assume Japan was shocked, yet still not out of the war. If Japan continued in the war with few soldiers (I don't know the numbers, maybe bases were hit) taken out from the nuke, then the bomb would have been completely in vain, and a tremendous tragedy. Once again, a bomb is dropped to demonstrate how serious the states were.

It was basically the world against Japan. I feel the united states should not have threatened Japan in the first place. Rather, continue the combat and accept the losses rather than showing the world that it can be an evil bastard when push comes to shove.

Of course... Japan was rebuilt and is now the modern Japan we know it as. Aaand, considering this is all written in a Gaming forum, I'm sure all you GameCube fans are happy.

You're an idiot. I can't understand half of what your saying and and the other half I can read is retarded. The nuking of Hiroshima and Nagasaki was not for revenge from Pearl Harbor.

You can say whether it was needed or not. Saying that we needed to kill hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians just to save a few soldiers is just unethical. That was not the intention of the US Army at all. It was to end the war.

I agree that history can't be changed. I'm not challenging the fact it ended the war.

I'm saying your view why it was good is poor and immature.

Oh please, Hero, do everyone a favor and get your act together by shutting the hell up on subjects like this, those of which long posts by you spell nothing but disaster. Your whine-ass attitude of "nuke all, I really don't give a **** 'cause that's the cool way to go, I think I'm wasted, d00d... did I really post that?", sort of crap.

You insult yourself by trying to say you'll dumb down to someone's level... through a labyrinth of confusion in grammatical and spelling errors.



Did anyone else feel a :flame:-ing was called for?


Edit: P.S. Ominub posted his opinion just now. Even though I may not agree with it, I can respect it a bit more than Hero's mind-boggling masquerade.
