Quote from: Shen Li on March 18, 2026, 10:52:14 PMDoes anybody think Nazi Germany or Fascist Italy would not have used the atom bomb if they had it first. Same goes for Stalin's Soviet Union and the Imperial Japs.

The US was first across the nuclear line.

 We ended WW2 and as an American I dont apologize for that. At all.

So you decided to put words in her mouth she didn't say.

Quote from: Frood on March 18, 2026, 10:58:35 PMSo it makes it right? Japan wasn't a threat any further when they used the A bombs on Nagasaki and Hiroshima. It was purely a demonic inspired science experiment on non combatants to see how they immediately and slowly died.... as well as a flex by the US.

Why are you saying the US was better than the Germans because they did it first? The Germans didn't do it at all. They probably would have... but they didn't/couldn't at the time. Either or, Germany didn't use atomic weapons on non combatants BUT the US did!

Personally, I'm thankful for the bombs that ended WWII. My father was on a troop transport heading to Japan in August of 1945 and would have been among the first waves of the gathering invasion force. Based on the Battle of Okinawa, projected casualties to take the Nip home islands 1-2 million dead and wounded.

I celebrate every Hiroshima day because all the Nips that got fried to burnt chromosomes there and at Nagasaki weren't worth one single drop of precious American blood ... especially my dad's.

Oh no, absolutely not. Whether someone graduated from public high school doesn't matter.

Just so long as they can show they know how our government works. And what policies they are actually voting for.

If we did it like this, propaganda and information wars wouldnt be so potent and nonstop as they are.

We have voting age adults who dont even understand "United States".  They want the federal government doing everything 

They want universal health care AND open borders. And they dont even think we should work to lower prices first at least...they really think the billionaires are gonna hang around and pay for it.

Politics are unhinged right now. Socail media is like gasoline on a fire.

Remember people saying voted ID laws were racists because black people dont have ID and dont understand how to get it?  Now its married women wont be able to vote with the SAVE Act.

We need people to understand what they are voting for and why. At least understand how our government works.

When everyone voted for Whitmer again....after her covid reign of tyranny because they believe Dixon was gonna take office and outlaw abortion?  It just KILLED me.

The governor cannot do that. That isnt within the scope of power for a governor. We have legislators.

So Whitmer won due to the ignorance of Michigan voters and its KNOWN and taken advantage of that we have voters who just dont know better.

I actually would have ZERO problem if we offered civics classes and government classes and people could learn and pass a competency test. Its a better use of tax dollars than a lot of other absolute shit we are funding. We would have a more informed voter and as a result..a better ran country.

 You could be a high school drop out. As long as you can show you understand how our government works and what policies will do.....get it. Get your certificate and get voting.

exactly -- anyone who had gotten the bomb first would have used to first. So I laugh when someone tries to run that emotional trip on me. it falls on deaf ears.

Again, the WORLD.. in it's entirety is a evil and dark place. ANd however my government chooses to keep me and the rest of the country safe from the savages that would undoubtedly seek to eliminate us for one reason or another is A OK with me.

Quote from: Biggie Smiles on March 18, 2026, 10:59:04 PMIf memory serves you've one of the very same ones I couldn't convince to extend a small measure of that same empathy you're all too willing to pontificate about now to someone who crossed our border illegally but has remained a productive member of society of upwards of 10 years?

THAT person deserved mercy. Someone jackassasso subscribing to the same playbook that produces bloodshed and mayhem all across the globe does not.

So the father of four has to up and go and probably die a slow and painful death in his country of origin despite being a good person at heart, causing no trouble and loving this country simply because he entered this country illegally 15 years ago but I'm supposed to weep over some kid, who weeks following Oct 7th was dancing in the street yelling Allah Akbar because he got his face blown off in a retaliatory strike?

and now you're melting like a fully soaked pussy over some fucking cockroaches on the other side of the world who would slit your throat in an instant if given the opportunity?

You gotta be kidding me man... who the fuck shot you up with 500 ccs of estrogen and what happened to the old Frood?

You sneak across a border in order to game the system and live illegally, you broke a major law. Doesn't matter if you hold down a cash in hand job for decades or buy some dodgy SS numbers. You are a criminal. You never STOPPED being a criminal. Criminals with intent who hide under the radar are still crims.

They are part of the Axis of Resistance. They are not national governments and also get support from North Korea and before Venezuela.

I expect those sort of unhinged shitposts from the likes of Lokmar, who let's face it, is battling his inner gay self demons... but from you? You're into software yet can't do simple math.
