255. changing the topic again...
Edited on Sat Nov-08-03 06:59 PM by bpilgrim
as i stated before dehumanizing people is a popular and effective war time propagandist technique employed very effectively by heads of state to rally support for their wars all over this planet but it doesn't change it from what it is no matter what country tries to defend it.

my view may be in the minority here but as long as i follow the rules nothing will be removed maybe i wasn't clear last time but i wasn't calling YOU a racist but pointing out that what you had SAID was.

i don't expect the other post where i am more explicit to be removed as it will be judged to be within the rules - at least as far as i understand them

and i do recall many of the japanese atrocities since i like reading and learning about the time of wwII especially the pacific theater but has that got to do with our NUKING them onless you are trying to say they DESERVED it because of the sins of their leaders? :shrug:

these facts are clear and UNDISPUTED... they were a DEFEATED, PROSTRATE and trying/ready to SURRENDER nation when we rained hellfire down on innocent men women and children by nuking their cities TWICE.

i understand that that reality is a hard perspective to live with but by being honest with ourselves MAYBE we might prevent another one from happening... at least thats my hope :hi:

peace
