I wouldn't say I'm vain,but I make sure I am presentable every morning or before something important. And if I come across a mirror while I'm out, I always give a my face a scan to make sure nothing really bad is going on.
George Washington. Like someone said earlier, he had to the power to take over and declare himself king at the end of the war. He was even encouraged to do so by some of his staff. Yet he still gave up power. He turned down ruling an entire country all out of love for his ideals and nation. That and the fact he kinda did it again when he stepped down from being president? Well yeah, that's badass.
Small stuff. Never having to cough, sneeze, or get those pesky colds sounds heavenly. I'll take whatever precautions are necessary to avoid the big stuff. Cancer is unavoidable after a while I think.
It baffles me that people think they were unneccesary. The death toll of the invasion of Japan that absolutely would have taken place was millions of Americans, and TENS of millions of Japanese. A Blockade you say? Wouldn't that lead to starvation?Japan was already dangerously low on resources. The people were already going hungry. Dragging that starvation on for millions would be more cruel if you ask me. It was morally wrong? What's morally right about conventional bombs, or guns, or knives, or rocks? The atomic bomb is no different morally from any other weapon. And really, the most powerful effect of the bomb isn't its destructive force, it's the effect it has on the mind. The firebombings of dozens of Japanese cities killed more than the atomics ever did, and Japan still did not consider surrender. It was the mental effect. One bomb destroyed one city, and even in the face of such power, most of the leaders of Japan were eager to continue the fight. It just so happened that one of the few who didn't was the Emperor of Japan, the guy they all obeyed without question. Seriously, the more you are against the use of atomic bombs, the less you know about what was going on in the Pacific Theater. Do some reading about Japan during the second Sinno Japanese war and the Pacific Theater of WWII. Find out why these bombs were necessary for the U.S. and Japan.
[QUOTE="tylergamereview"]Yes then and now. Those who are against the use of atomic bombs in WWII do not have a proper education of the Pacific theater and the state of Japan at that time. The war was not near over, Japan was not about to surrender, and the death toll of what was already the most devastating event in human history would have been far greater had they not been used.Spellingiscool
That's false. Their loss was inevitable and they knew that already. The bombs were just icing on the cake. Incorrect. There are books written about the final Diet meeting when surrender was decided upon. Most members of the Diet were in support of the war continuing. The war would have continued had the Emperor not stepped in and asked for surrender. The army, the leaders, and the nation itself were determined to die fighting. No really, civilians were being trained to fight as suicide bombers. I'm afraid I can't provide you with a link, but I can steer you towards a few books with this info if you prefer.

Killing Hitler would be stupid. You could debate all day about would or could have happened, but I would go back in time, take all of his stuff, drug him, shave his mustache while he is asleep, take pictures, and then sell the photos for being the only photos of Hitler without a ridiculous mustache. Then sell his mustache. And then sell the rest of his stuff.

[QUOTE="tylergamereview"]He was a huge spender who killed Osama. So he was like a really really really expensive hitman. Yeah. Politics are fun.whipassmt
He didn't kill Osama, the SEALS did! hhmm, correct. Well if that's wrong, my knowledge of Obama has been sliced in half. All I know is that he likes to go on trillion dollar spending sprees. I wish I had that kind of money. Or that kind of disregard for my future.... actually no, I don't.
