“Please stop using anything that is the result of scientists doing their work.”

Like the complete radiation of most of the Marshall Islands?
Or the complete radiation of the ground water north of Las Vegas?
Or causing cancer risks to skyrocket around those nuclear test sites?

As for this computer, You boys little toys will result in the elimination of much of the human species through advanced AI technology.

Indeed, the army wanted to continue resisting after the second bomb, but the emperor intervened in the deliberations (unheard of to that point) and directed that they surrender.

“I won’t assume the task of correcting all the wrong things you say or can’t remember, but Russia never said that.”

Putin said it again THIS MORNING. What the hell planet are you on that you’re not seeing this?

I have often wondered how many ‘buddies’ to soldiers killed in WW II came home & married the widow of their buddy-—kids & all.

You're part of the gang of "boys and their little toys".

The thing about life is we're all in it together. You got a computer, so you're one of the boys.

If you're superior to others owning computers (iPads, cell phones, etc), give yours up!

America's use of atomic weapons to end World War II cannot easily be defended

Who needs to "defend" it? War is hell! Besides we need to use it in real world to study it. Tests are just tests! Why are the dumbest people always the ones to try to claim superiority to others\? Besides...I love big explosions...that's reason enough!!

A guy right up the country road from me did this.

They died years ago, the kids moved out and died also, and the house burned down, but I remember.

Tales like this will die with me and others as time goes on.

“What the hell planet are you on that you’re not seeing this?”

Not the one you are on. I read what he said and I saw ZERO threats. It takes a hell of a nerve pointing fingers at Russia, the country that has NOT used nukes, from the country that HAS used nukes.

A flimsy excuse I’ve seen you people make is that the US waited three whole days before nuking Japan. Here are quotes from what Putin actually said and it is very much in line with what he’s said in the past. I presume you are going by the interpretation from “Fox and Friends”.

“We didn’t speak about usage of nuclear weapons.” Then, he said: “Russia has not gone mad.”

“We have the most advanced weapons, but we do not want to wave it around.”

“Yes, we will do this by various ways and means. First of all, of course, we will focus on peaceful means, but if nothing else remains, we will defend ourselves with all the means at our disposal,” Putin said.

1. Russia is not ‘defending itself’ in their attacks on Georgia and Ukraine.

2. Typical Putin. Says he’s not making nuclear threats just before he makes a nuclear threat.

Jesus you Russians are stupid if you think the rest of us can’t see through your clumsy lies.

“Within days of the Hiroshima bombing, David Lawrence, the editor of what is now “U.S. News & World Report,” wrote that Japanese surrender had appeared inevitable weeks before the bomb's use.

Nonsense.

From the Japanese POV

Enjoy.

“Jesus you Russians are stupid if you think the rest of us can’t see through your clumsy lies.”

I’m not Russian and I reject and condemn the idea that knowing right from wrong is “anti-American” like many of you do. You live your entire lives in old black and white movies, afraid of the truth.

You justify, nuking Japan because there was “no other way”. I presume you also supported every other foreign policy disaster in between Japan and Ukraine. Iraq. Libya. Afghanistan, to name just a few.

The US backed a coup in 2014 and interfered with Minsk I and Minsk II. The US has been arming Ukraine to the teeth and has created a national security threat on Russia’s border.

Russia is demilitarizing the area now and there is nothing the US can do about that. Your view of the world is wrong and opinions like yours are being rejected because they are of no legitimate benefit to anyone.

Normal people don’t commit mass suicide like the Japs did while we were knocking on their door. Truman made the right decisions! Deal with it little buttercups!

The attack on Pearl Harbor, the Bataan death march and other Japanese atrocities all played a part in their decision.>>> And the Chinese and Koreans the japs murdered.

In today’s world, many would ask “Why don’t they like us?” And offer to surrender, because guns are bad.

We are in a different horrible place. I’m going to step away for a while, maybe a day, maybe a month. Health issues to take care of.
We have not yet hit bottom.

Paraphrasing Thelma and Louise movie ending, top down, sun in our faces, wind through our hair, smooth ride, not a bump in the road, and we are already gone off the cliff. Great times ahead.
