I don't mind Canada. I've never really been there or talked to any Canadians, but it could be a nice place. Now America,I kind of like the country but the Americans irritate me. You can blame Call of Duty 4 for this. Every time I played with my friends we'd usually take up a team so our [xUKx] clan tag was very noticable. Every damn American on the other team would usually yell 'Hey look it's a group of Brit fags, go eat some crumpets you british fay-guts' or make a crude joke about one of our mother. So, thanks to this game, I have an immovable prejudice against Americans. Even when they're being decent people, I ignore them or don't return their kindness.
Now onto other countries, I love England, Germany, Russia and Japan. In my eyes, these are great places and I would love to visit them sometime. Except england, because I live there.

Or, as most would call it, the mass murder of 110,000 (Immeditate deaths in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Hiroshima 70,000, Nagasaki 40,000. Later estimates placed the total deaths at 200,000 in Hiroshima alone by 1950 due to long term radiation effects. I can't find those stats for Nagasaki.) people.Some_Jackass post=18.68666.636138 said:
There's a pile of evidence that the bombing was entirely unnecessary as the Japanese were already suing for peace with Russia. Most of the memos and documents of meetings discussing the bombing bring up the need to show Russia the power of the bomb as a major reason for dropping.
To suggest you have 'bragging rights' is an insult to the memory of the dead, and a disgusting attitude to strike. You can argue that the bombing was necessary, that it was the right thing to do, but one thing you cannot do is pretend that it was some great act.
There was a reason that Robert Oppenheimer said: "I have become death, destroyer of worlds." The atomic bomb is possibly mankind's greatest folly, and one of the most likely things to end us all.

Nope the thread title is there, but the replies have disappeared off it. No pages are listed anymore and if I click on the main title it just goes to a blank loading page
When did that happen again? I've done some searching and can't find any war in which the USA won with only 2 bombs. Maybe they struck it from the records as part of some global conspiracy... *re-adjusts tin-foil hat*Some_Jackass post=18.68666.636138 said:
Um, not sure which country I'm meant to be commenting on anymore, but yeah. Australia is pretty sweet, most of the good stuffs been covered already though.
I never said they *won* the war with 2 bombsArmitage Shanks post=18.68666.637127 said:
and gapperjack, its not like we were so giddy to drop the bombs that we finished, loaded and took off immediatly....it was a decision that was not made lightly, and kept the American death count in the war at a low number-which in war, low death counts on your side tend to be a good thing
China's only been stable in 20th Century, and due to a bureaucratic mindset they legally barred themselves from having a navy or any merchant to own an open-sea capable ship.Atvomat_Nikonov post=18.68666.636816 said:
We in the Antipodean lands don't have absolutely everything, games take forever and we'll get the most censored version of it. Not playing a physically demanding "Manly" sport results in a lynching.
And Bogans (Australian White trash) are all over the place. You guys might like the normal Aussie accent, but bogan women have something like a cross between a galah(Australian bird with a loud call) and nails on the chalkboard.
Forgive my inability to pervay "sarcasm" and "dry humor" in my post. I'll stop being a big, dumb backwards, gun-tottin' redneck who fucks his cousin and hates towelheads and the blacks. Those damn blacks.lukemdizzle post=18.68666.636109 said:
Like the one I dated.
And all that stupid American music I listen to like Bring Me The Horizon and The Pillows.
And don't even get me started on how fucking stupid Democrats like that fucking commie bastard Obama who I'm voting for.
God, what kind of backwoods hick am I?
Yes you are, but its a snazzy, snazzy hat indeed, one that gives the wearer most of its jokes and likes to do it's own thing whenever the wearer is drunkenly dry humping the middle east and generally embarrising the rest of the western world with it's slurred ramblingsAnarchemitis post=18.68666.635760 said:
