For those Australians amongst us

Fortunately, Truman was not a general, he was president. Have you ever heard the phrase, "There's nothing quite so much like God on Earth as a general"? It's pretty much true. In the field, a general has more people than he can count trying to put his penis in their mouth. They have servants that do everything for them, they go where they want, they do what they want, and if they win battles, they become big celebrities back home. This is why it doesn't suprise me that Eisenhower or MacArthur wouldn't want to bring the war to a screeching halt.

Anyway, the estimates I heard said that an invasion and subsequent occupation of Japan would have resulted in around 200,000 American deaths.

 

Hooah.

(also known as "what he said")

 

The bombing of hiroshima, sadly, was neccessary to end the war. For a number reasons.
1. They needed a live test(not a good reason I know but a reason none the less)
2. It was a quick solution to end a war that had been going on for far too long
3. The japanese imperial propaganda machine, much like any nations at that time, basically said that if the americans were to invade they'd rape and pillage and do what people with absolute power do best.
4. They were running low on options.

The war council wanted to continue but the emporer thankfully wouldn't allow any more deaths. Truly a horrible neccessity. Let us hope it never happens again, unless its everyone at the same time then I'm all for it!

As for GOD. I don't and I do. If he does, the I'm not worshipping him! This goes for the Devil as well. If I end up in any of their domains, I will see to it that they don't live out the next eon. By any means neccesary.

However logically I don't believe. People were stupid back then. All the miracles in any religeous text can easiy be misinterpreted by the idiot peasant. Not to mention the inaccuracy of the scipture due hundreds of reinterpretions and language chages that its all lost in translation. The viking religeon sounds fun but. To avoid Hels domains Ye'd havta kill your self or die in the field of combat and that probably isn't gonna happen.
Further gods kind of do exist if you consider that they are actually a collective consciousness of the followers of there religeon. But that could also apply for other things as well. But I'll be damned if I have to become a piece of a greater thing. I am my own fuckin thing dammit! Not a gods little pawn he can move around for shits and giggles.

 

Your cohesive statements paint you as a man of intelligence Ogatai.

EDIT: That makes 666 posts.

 

Your candor is appreciated

 

You want him to have an eternity of pain and suffering when he dies?

 

The Prince of Darkness ain't got shit on me.

 

He has been known to play dirty though. The US military led by Japes vs satan and his army of disturbed ghouls and demons. Screw Lord of the Rings!

 

If I didn't think the military would just take it from you I'd give you a space fighter.

 

You have a space fighter stored in you cave?

 

Are you telling me that Challenger was actually a secret prototype for the space fighter we would use to challenge the Scandinavian Neo-Viking Conspiracy for control of the gold and diamond mines on Mars?

 

So thats what I see in the Southern sky of a night.

 

To say I 'ate' the ship is an over-simplification of my anatomy, but just about, yea.

I have several space fighters though, most of them are just out in space. Fighting, if you could believe that.

 

Are you talking about the kind of corny monster not even Chuck Norris can harm?
