Man I hoped I’d never have to post a post (…
?) that long ever again (it’s not meant for me), but here goes.
Oh, but a couple of things before I begin. I don’t want to blame America, and I prefer doing two (sometimes three) sided posts, but as before I shall continue to bring up the “bad†things America did during the war, as this tend to be hushed down, but do know that I don’t think Japan were any better than ANY other.
Thirdly,i think even CETRA said this,about the revnge of pearl harbor its a indeed a reason why they dropped the bombs.
That IS also one of the possible reasons behind the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, however I hope with all my heart this isn’t true and that there might be some alternative, less silly reason. For I cannot see any reason to retaliate against civilians (and I know there were military factories as well) for the tactical attack on a Navy fleet (though as always in war there where civilian casualties). And even if I hate using numbers to compare human lives, I’m going to do so now. In the attack of Pearl Harbor 68 civilians died, whereas in the bombing of Hiroshima killed over hundred thousand. I’ll illustrate:
If civilian casualties in Pearl Harbor = I
Then Hiroshima’s = IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII…
(Too much to continue).
That’s one mean revenge!
Also I hope you don’t turn to the movie Pearl Harbor to gather information about the conflict, as it is just as much a saga as Lord of the Rings. They have actually changed documented facts of what happened, just to make the Japanese seem more brutal. For instance the sneak attack, which actually wasn’t a sneak attack at all, as the Japanese government actually had send a warning to the U.S, saying they were about to attack (even though it seems really stupid, to me).
And no,i dont think it was to test the strenght in the bombs,which they pretty much knew after testing it,and also after dropping it in one city that would have been
“Don’t think†as in you think I’m lying, or “don’t think†as in you think those governmental people, who stated this were lying? If the first then
, but if the second then I can’t force you to do so, as it has never been acknowledged by the U.S government to be true, and there were only a handful of scientist and officials (which I cannot remember whom) that stated this, and they might have wanted to use that statement as an excuse to wash of some of the blood on their hands
Also with the testing you are referring to, I take it for granted that you mean the Trinity test, which indeed was the first test of an atomic bomb detonating. However this test didn’t involve people, and they had no idea as to what effect (except for the obvious) it would have on the poor once close to it.
And a funny/scary thing is that the scientists betted on what the how large the effect of the bomb would be, and some betted on that it would incinerate the earth. And they weren’t joking as it was something that actually worried the scientists, however fortunately enough they were almost convinced this wouldn’t be the case. Still…
hiroshima and nag bla bla forgot the name
And the Twin Towhatever terrorist attack.

And then we’re back at technology…
ABout technology,if the demand was for these products usa would have been able to do the same.
But they didn’t demand it, so then they didn’t advance. “If†doesn’t matter to me. Only that the country is indeed the most technologically advanced country, when it comes overall usage of advanced technology in society matters to me. But that’s me, and others are allowed to think the “Wow’sâ€, like NASA are what counts are allowed to do so. Also I meant to mention that I also didn’t think their Space Agency (man that sounds like something from a cartoon
) wasn’t as advanced as NASA, but it’s still pretty darn spacey.
Back to the space thing,yes and europe has something similiar
Actually, I was talking about Japan.
Well sweden never did anything close to what norweigens people did as in the movie " heroes of the telemark" which is based on a true history.
But Norway got invaded,Sweden not,big diffrence.
They didn’t have to invade, as we didn’t oppose them. We just lifted bowed nicely and said “sure, please do use our rail way†and “Sure, by all means, you can by metal from usâ€.
Man this seems to have become a personal war between QuezcatoL and myself. :P Hope things don’t turn all Vietnam… Nah, just kidding. Also, even though it’s been fun QuezcatoL, I will end things with post, as making long posts like this isn’t really my thing. I might come with small comments from now on, but I’m just no good with long posts like these (the only thing that kept me going was because of the possibility to use MANY smiley’s
). I would also apologize of me constantly returning to the subject of Pearl harbour and Hiroshima, Nagasaki and to any I might have offended with these posts (man I sound like a politician
).
Also remember, no matter how many soldiers or how powerful a country can be… GOOGLE still owns the WORLD! Be very careful, be very afraid!
Oh, and...
