60 Years Since Hiroshima

cryptoz writes "Today is the 6th of August, 2005, exactly 60 years after the first nuclear device was used in a war. Japan remembers what happened, as do those around the world. Elswhere, we remember where the bomb hit, as well as how it worked." From the article about Japan's observation of the anniversary: "The anniversary comes as regional powers meet in Beijing to urge North Korea to give up its nuclear programme, seen by Tokyo as a threat and one of the reasons behind rising calls in Japan to strengthen its defence and seek closer military ties with the United States. Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi was among those attending the ceremony in Hiroshima, 690 km (430 miles) southwest of Tokyo." We've previously reported on the anniversary of the first nuclear explosion.

    Sex is perverted. Humans are nowhere close to what salmons or black widows do. How about let's spread humanity, and cure the salmons genetically, so they live out a happy, fulfilling life, instead of plain dying, after they fuck? Longevity, as Martin Luther King yearned, longevity...

    You have a say on how human beings should be, because it affects you when others are hurt, raped, murdered, kids mistreated. There is also a fine balance between how much you should really be affected by the liberty of others, instead of just letting them to be the way they want to be. How about we make all sharks and tigers vegetarians? As far as humans are concerned, how do you know japanese women don't get off on the way they are treated and mistreated? Maybe if you were too kind to them, they would never work up a climax? You know, besides security and love, some women also love being handled rough. It gets them off, and getting them off is important. Sometimes you have to be mean and cruel to show love.
