Dead in 2005

[MadMarchHare]

Well....their government did, at least.  But we killed a hell of a lot of civilians who had nothing to do with those decisions with the bomb.  I happen to believe that more people would have died had we invaded however.  Best of an untenable list of options.

The second might have been overkill, though, I haven't been able to make up my mind on that one.

[Tomahawk]

A lot less, actually.

Why?  Because they started a war they couldn't win?  If they had a chance to do to us what they did to China they would have.  I love how revisionists (especially modern Japenese teachers) are trying to turn the Japenese of that time into victims, instead of telling the truth...THEY were the aggressors, THEY were the war criminals (I know, I know if we had lost we could have been tried for the same...I saw "Fog of War" too), THEY started the war.

I doubt every single common citizen in Nagasaki and Hiroshima, I'm guessing a minimum of 200,000 people, weren't war criminals.

[Diomedes]

Why? Because...

Pearl Harbor, military base: 2390 people killed, most of them military personnel.
Nagasaki, city: 140,000 people killed, most of them innocent civilians.


That's why.

I guess drunks can only type properly in all caps. Who knew?

[Sgt PSN]

I don't think it's cause he drunk.  I think it's because he's on his man-rag and is pissed. 

[Father Demon]

It took me four tries....   

[Susquehanna Birder]

He might have been drunk, but he was definitely correct.

Sadly, Richard Pryor was a long time coming.  Only 65, too...
