The human being is son of bitch by nature. The most disgusting of all species.

@My83Tube The United States dropped the bombs because it was facing the prospect of invading Japan to subdue it. The last few battles, Iwo Jima and Okinawa particularly, were incomprehensibly bloody. Japan had no regard for its own citizens' lives and planned to turn their whole island into a fortress. It was estimated that casualties would be 1 million Americans and half a million British in the first invasion alone. Plus, it was not a nuclear bomb, it was an atomic bomb, there is a difference.

@ddd1953 no i think there was some kind of computer animated re-production of the explosion if i remember right.

@My83Tube Umm re-read what you said buddy, you called me a f-- american, so you don't have any room to complain about me saying you are a fool AFTER you called me a f--. And besides wanting to send me a poorly written comment full of miss spelled words, where you try to get on me for my spelling.......do you even have a point? Or are you just an angry person here to try to argue with people?

@darksiderulz52 I am the fool ,you can't even answer someone without calling names ,but I didn't expect anything else .You can't even write propperly in your own language .

@SimpsonJeremy America is the only nation to use a atomic bomb ever in history ,not a nuclear bomb sorry for the mistake , I guess that made a big difference to the victims . Only american and british people think that killing a lot of people is the solution to any threatning danger whilst enlarging the danger .If some country invades your country and shoots your mom ,your dad and rapes your sister ,what would you do ?
