Have you ever stopped to think about The World Without Us?

The World Without Us:

From places already devoid of humans (a last fragment of primeval European forest; the Korean DMZ; Chernobyl), Alan Weisman reveals Earth's tremendous capacity for self-healing. As he shows which human devastations are indelible, and which examples of our highest art and culture would endure longest, Weisman's narrative ultimately drives toward a radical but persuasive solution that doesn't depend on our demise. It is narrative nonfiction at its finest, and in posing an irresistible concept with both gravity and a highly-readable touch, it looks deeply at our effects on the planet in a way that no other book has.

Do you Americans ever question anything that those in power tell you? No wonder you all believe you're doing nothing but good in the world; you believe everything that you hear. Fucking lemmings.

except most of the wars that you claim we have "lost" we didn't. We were pushed back to the 38th parallel and that was only because the chinese had a superior amount of numbers then we did. (wave after wave)

I'm willing to dmit thta the US has lost a war, we lost vietnam (the peace was pretty much a sham) but i won't admit that we have never won a war because we have won many wars. (more then we've lost anyway)

Yes new swamp land for nuclear waste, testing and dumping our general waste. Well now we don't have to worry about deforestation.

Just mark cowards thumbs down and spam. He is like an STD. Never address him. Just ignore him and mark him spam. He isn't interested in anything truthful.

His life is literally a wasteland. All he has to do is troll online. He will pick a fight with anyone over anything saying the dumbest things he can imagine.

Give him nothing back. Mark him thumbs down and spam. Never interact with him.

I'm tired of this, since it is apparent that neither of us will relinquish our positions, I'm going to quit wasting my precious time.

You can't reason with a brick wall. I still think your disrespectfull to anyone in the uniform. I never once even hinted at calling any troops cowards, be they Nazis or British. They are still soldiers fighting for their cause, and I refuse to call them cowards. My Dad is right, 9/10 people are idiots, and as long as I'm not one of the nine, it's all good.

My point was that history didn't record it as falling until early 1943, and Russia wasn't sprinting towards Germany while Stalingrad held on.

So actually, that "one little airfield" prolonged the life of Nazi Germany for several months. Which is why history says it didn't fall until Feb. 2nd 1943, which is the date the German defenders surrendered. Hence that being the date that the city fell.

To put it simply, it ain't over till the fat lady sings...or Nazis surrender, whichever you prefer.

[JJJNProductions]

It's not a hostage situation in war, but yes, if the last defenders of a city are holed up in one building, the battle isn't over until they surrender or are killed.

It didn't happen to the Germans, but as long as there is still that resistance there is always the possibility of of them communicating to headquarters for reinforcements. Which could have easily happened at Stalingrad. A few months is plenty of time to send another army to relieve them.

[JJJNProductions]

If they are in a WAR it is not a hostage situation. Yes, if a few random terrorists take over a single building, then it is a hostage situation.

Once again, I said that IF an army had taken over ALL of New York, then we counterattacked and took back ALL of it EXCEPT the Empire State building.
