Lantern Lighting at Green Lake in Seattle To Commemorate The U.S. Bombing of Hiroshima

My position is backed up by historical record.

Your third grade government school history book is wrong. You need to learn there is always more to the story, than what the State has told you.

Otherwise, ignorance is bliss.

It was one thing too many. On August 6th we should have also firebombed every city and village with more that a thousand inhabitants across the entire island.

Interesting that those quickest to proclaim their hatred of our enemies are the most eager to advocate acting as badly - or worse - than them. Immoral, un-American fucking hypocrites. ^^^^^

 

[martybegan]

Yet oddly enough you cannot provide that record.

Just weird.

There is no need to link common information short of pure stubbornness on the part of people who disagree with it.

Yes, it's all a big conspiracy....for decades.....and only YOU see through it.....

Common information is often wrong. If you haven’t figured that out at your advanced age, you never will.

One thing I have found in my lifetime is that things that are "common knowledge" and "everyone knows" are normally wrong

This information is correct, your self serving revisionist tropes to the contrary.

This issue has been studied extensively, and the current consensus has been around for decades and unchallenged except by self serving revisionist tropes.

Lol

They werent surrenduring! Thats the whole reason why we dropped the nukes. After dropping one nuke, we contacted Japan and they still refused to surrender. Do you know why? Because Japan didnt think we had 2. After we dropped the second one we bluffed them and told them to expect a third nuke. Thats when they finally surrendured.

After a summer of intense bombing their means of communicating were almost non existent. The Japanese were meeting to discuss the issue of surrender when the 2nd bomb was dropped. Make friends with a book or two.

and yet you cannot provide a single link to support your claim.

Just odd

Who needs to link Wikipedia?

We aren't talking mathematical proofs here, we are talking established and confirmed historical records.

He believes conventional wisdom…like the Earth is flat, it’s at the center of the universe, and the sun revolves around it.

Then link to them. Link to some history books that support your claims.

Anything but "I said so"

In this case "the commonly used references said so" should be enough.

But for the tinfoil hat brigade it never is enough.

Not unless you can provide those commonly used references

Look in any history book, and the Wikipedia article for the Surrender of Japan.

It isn't hard, even for a bunker dweller like you.

So, still you have nothing but empty words.

Well, this has been fun.

Carry on, I am out

I have the bulk of the recorded history, you have what, some opinion pieces?

Next you are going to tell me the moon landings were faked.

I think it is some sort of troll game. I think they get off on having your post links to shit that everyone knows, but that they can then just dismiss, and stonewall by spouting bullshit and nonsense.



More and more, I see them as sophists who think that any words, in the form of a counter point, counts as the same, regardless of whether or not it is true or even makes any sense at all.
