I never bought a console after the PS3 just went over to PC gaming think @luvgonzo is our older gamer though and he's a legend for it
So you agree that there was absolutely no need to drop the nukes? - fair play... it was, indeed, far more to do with US posturing to show the world what could happen if anybody else decided to **** with them
I believe the Japanese were about to surrender yes, I think the wind was blowing fast in that direction and the Soviet invasion of Manturia had more to play than the nuclear bombs. I think the nuclear warheads were far more political than military.
... they do have a bit of history (even if some on here aren't interested - coz only the current day matters ) ... Sand Creek, the Washita, Wonded Knee, Mi Lai ... but, in fairness, they've also been given a few 'bloody noses' along the way, despite their weaponry superiority, the Rosebud, the Greasy Grass (Little Bighorn) the Tet offensive and Vietnam and, most recently, the pandemonium of the **** it and run withdrawal from Afghanistan...
... but don't forget... they saved SO many lives ... those of extreme fundamentalist Japanese soldiers ... at the mere cost of 200,000 civilians and a radioactive pollutant landscape for decades ... ... but justifiable collateral damage ... there were several hundred Samurai hiding in tunnels below Sushi and Karaoke bars and hospitals don't ya know
What has us meeting got to do with anything! I called you a liar because you said 'I've ALWAYS been outspoken on the slaughter of innocents' but after the massacre in Israel you showed no sympathy or empathy, you went straight on the anti Israel rhetoric. So the only arrogance in here is your own. Like I said you are a liar, just start from page 200 and by page 203 all will be clear in your own words... 'very accurate description of the original illegal occupation by Israel... territory forcibly seized under arms and illegally settled by Israelis for political and ideological aims ...' That's your response to savagery ^ of babies being burned alive.
I've been on here since 2011 ... in the '80s as a student, I marched in support of the Miners against the *****phile friendly, South American murderous dictatorship complicit, evil bitch from Hell, Margaret Thatcher's policies ... I supported the ANC in their struggles against apartheid and I've always been vocal about any suppression, governmental, ideological, or religious wherever I've seen it ... so for 30 plus years, before I ever irritated your barely disguised right wing tendencies and beliefs, I've championed what I've believed to be, the 'underdog'... so, with all due respect, you don't know me at all and I've absolutely no need, or inclination, to know you... Although I see you are still swerving a response on the 4,200 slaughtered Palestinian kids?... here's another opportunity ... fill yer boots ... I'll wait ...
What has this got to do with anything lol...I'm going to have a guess you are on the wine again, because none of it relates to what I accuse you of. I've already made it clear to you about the 4,200 slaughtered, I didn't say a single thing that was detriment to Palestinians, only Hamas, who use citizens as shields, whereas you, what was your excuse, I can see you are still trying to worm yourself out of that one with total nonsense and deflection. Everyone has already seen through you fella, so as you like to say...suck it up.
You've been quick to call me hypocritical because I didn't 'condemn' what happened to Mariupol with similar 'indignation' to my disgust at the Isreali caused women and kids death count ... in the interests of complete transparency and completeness - could you please quote / put up YOUR posts condemning the Russian actions at Mariupol AT THE TIME .. rather in sanctimonious, self-satifying, anti-Palestinian, hindsight? Again - I'll wait ... You're welcome...
