Smash Bros Brawl

Actually Luigi was a bit different than Mario in Melee especially when they had one attack different which really changes stuff around.

In the E3 trailer and announcement of Super Smash Bros Brawl, after the Nintendo character Wario is introduced, an explosion is set off. From a distance, the shot then shows what looks very similiar to an atomic blast. "In a tragedy that killed over 200,000 people, this is not what Id like to call quality family entertainment," said Miyosho Kazuwaski, President of the Atomic Rememberence Committee. Nintendo has yet to comment.

And just when I thought people couldn't get any more idiotic, someone compares the tradegy of Horishima and Nagasaki to an explosive fart. Bra-f*cking-vo Atomic Rememberence Committee.

As opinion-based as this gets, I don't consider Hiroshima and Nagasaki a tragedy. Not in WW2. We even warned them. It was their own fault.

Chernobyl was a tragedy. Unleashing the a-bomb, although a long term problem, resolved WW2.


People get offended way too easily though. I remember reading a list of songs and things that "should be banned" after 9/11. They even wanted to change the name of The Two Towers. Because...you know...tolkien named his novel that to offend the victims of 9/11... back in 1954.

Well except for the fact that they really didnt give Japan time to surrender after the first dropping. I mean 3 days between droppings was definately not enough time. Nobody knew what happened to hiroshima after the Enola Gay dropped Fat man (the bomb) on the city because practicly every communication line was gone, so many died and no one could get word out.


I somewhat agree to the first dropping, becuase the U.S. saw what that the Japanese would fight to the death and they wanted to spare thier soldiers lives, and yes the allies warned Japan at the Potsdam conference, saying we posses a weapon that will utterly anhiliate you, but remember that no one had seen a weapon that was that destructive and most of it was played off as propoganda.

There has even been speculation that Japan would have surrendered on its own since it's German ally was defeated and that the Soviet Union declared war on Japan as negotiated at (Yalta? Casablaca?) conference.

but this is opinion biased, and not trying to stir up an arguement, just my 2 cents.

[KillerGremlin]

Yeah, no one really knew exactly how bad the bomb would be.

I would consider it a tragedy for all of the civilian lives that were lost. I understand your view point, but would you just blow it off and say its our fault if somebody nuked us?

Yes.

If your government decides to go on a crusade in an attempt to take over half the world, and you honestly don't expect any retaliation...the Japanese joined up with the Germans, who in case you didn’t know, killed millions of Jews. I realize this wasn’t public knowledge till after the war. But, in my defense to that exact argument, which you may or may not use against me, I present you this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unit_731

It’ll blow your mind. This also wasn't public knowledge, but it goes to show that there was bad blood on a lot of people's hands.


in a time of war, to say they had it coming, was an understatement


A government is a representation of the people, or control of the people. I'm sure there were a few people that didn't support what the government was doing at the time, but you have to wonder how many there were. And, the main differences is that we warned them. It was't like 9/11 (which was only surprising in the way it was executed, because you and I know people hate America) because it wasn't a blind act without warning. We said, "hey Japan, we have this bomb that kills tons of people, surrender, or we unleash it on you." And they rolled their eyes. If anything is a tragedy, it was bomb 2 like Fox said. They were using their massive population to launch suicide attacks on our troops, is how dispensable their population was at the time. Kamikazes, such a bold form of warfare.

We're forgetting what's really important here, guys.
