kill lots of people once instead of making somethng will kill more
now iran is going to bomb the world because of this man made deadly lethal weapon
the war could have been avoided and the atomic bomb was terrible, though invading japan could have cost millions more innocent lives :'(yeah,but US had already killed millions of innocent lives by air assault with B29 on major cities of japan. :look:
war, based on killing other side. is probably one of the major things that made our world expand to more modern and easier lifes, although it causes death....
war is something that has more advantages then loss, war causes death. corspses and immense riches and fame, heroes and techenology and inventions, land and conquest and glory looking from the monarch and ruler and power and army's eyes, depending on the type of war
in peoples thaughts. war is just bad, they always cried about it and they will always do
this is WAR
The US bombing was unjustified, true, but neither was how the germans and japanese tortured prisoners of war and slaughtered innocent civilians, the germans bombed britain and slaughtered millions of innocent russian civilians and somewhere between half of the russian prisoners of war, not even counting 6 million jews and millions of yugoslavians, poles and other occupied countries. The japanese killed millions of chinese, koreans, phillipinos and others in their conquests. They bombed undefended cities and killed thousands if not millions of their prisoners through torture, starvation and hard labor. The US, UK, and USSR fought fire with fire, and even if killing cannot be justified, then what the US, UK and USSR did is far more justified in my mind, even though I'm sorry to say so.the war could have been avoided and the atomic bomb was terrible, though invading japan could have cost millions more innocent lives :'(yeah,but US had already killed millions of innocent lives by air assault with B29 on major cities of japan. :look:
Everytime I hear this kind of the sophism,I doubt US people make light of evil of Nuclear bombs.
In some ways,It's true that using nukes ended the war faster,but at that time japan had lost most of it's military strongness and sooner or later japan accepted surrender,if only allied assured us to save the Emperor's prestige.
I hope US people wouldn't forget that US is the ONLY country used nuclear bomb against human.
and have responsible as one of the nuclear-weapon states.
Two wrongs do not make a right... Nothing is EVER justified simply because the other side did worse.The US bombing was unjustified, true, but neither was how the germans and japanese tortured prisoners of war and slaughtered innocent civilians, the germans bombed britain and slaughtered millions of innocent russian civilians and somewhere between half of the russian prisoners of war, not even counting 6 million jews and millions of yugoslavians, poles and other occupied countries.

How about the Black Plague?Very disasterous, yes, but it was not international (mostly Europe and its regions) as well, humans had less control over that (poor standards may have contributed to it, but compared to WW2, where the entire thing was a purposal human creation, it is dwarfed in "disasterosity" (on the Omega scale ;)).
I aint no moderator, i can`t delte anything, for me it was fine, a LOT of small pictures makes one big huge, but i think it is fine. Yeah it slows down connections: If you have a download rate of 500kb/s then it can make your connection 250kb/s for the time it takes to download and implement the images onto your browsers open tab. And this can be QUITE annoying while for example torrenting and/or downloading other things.Pretending that you have 20 small, 50kb images. That's a 1MB total, and contractory to what Gabbe may have said, many internets are a mere 1 or 2 mbps (and that's megabits, not megabytes. 8 megabits = 1 megabyte, thus, 1mbps = ~125KB/s). And internets don't always run at that top capacity (I've seen download speeds vary from 50-150KB/s, though averaging around 100KB/s) so all those images take a bit extra time to load. Taking into aspect nobody browses only one page at a time these days, and I often have an average of 4-6 tabs open at any one time, plus, as Gabbe mentioned, the potentiality for downloads... Just try and keep it as small as possible. I trimmed a few images, so there's still some, and more than enough to make your point, but not so much you'll burgeon down the unfortunate souls (like me) who have lousy 'net.
I know killing is un justifiable, but ignoring the fact that the US wasn't the only one who did sp is also wrongTwo wrongs do not make a right...

it slows down connections?Warlord, just so you know, glest isn't a chat site, its a place for people to mod and work on expanding glest, also the people here devote their free time to doing so, and noone has much time to be on, I used to come on a lot but since highschool started I can't get on nearly as much. the site may be dead, but don't complain, while we may appreciate your attempts to liven up this forum, most of us are unable to be on 24/7, I for one am rarely able to get over 30 minutes of being on glest.
but those are small pictures. if you are so hard about deleting. let me know, i'll delete some of it
about talking about historical WW2 and nuclear. come to my open historial talk, we'll be more then glad to welcome new viewers and increase the society. this site is somewhat dead. few members. theres lots registered but few are active
lets attempt to relive the site by increasing the off topic and sociel talk instead of biengaround glest's improvments too much
cheers mates!
