Russia stopped Germany from moving too far north. The would not have beaten Germany back into it's own country. They had no interest in in that, they just wanted Germany out of their territory. Russia was also suffering from war fatigue.
The bombs are why Japan surrendered. It's pretty damn clear. Would Japan have lost without the bombs? yes, but it would have cost millions of lives.
The Russian fought well, and bravely. Had they not, thing would have been a lot different. Lets not over blow things.
"there's suddenly no trace of them sort of makes you go... "huh"?" there is nothing unusual in what you said. the body can cure that stuff on it'sown depending on the person and whay not. cysts come and go all the time. That was the core of the recent breast screening changes.
Between 1964 and 1982, Randi declared that over 650 people had applied. Between 1997 and February 15, 2005, there had been a total of 360 official, notarized applications. There are these things called 'websites' You can go to them and read about stuff! you should try it, they are awesome!

Vioxx raised the risk of a heart attack by one third of one percent -- from.01 to.04% . All treatments have risks. Is the.04% risk worth the outcome?

Space doesn't equal sci-fi. However, Dr.Who has been in and through space(and times) several times. I think Caprica might have involved space in some way.

That's not even looking at the many, many animated series.

But we can't dismiss that fact either. Many of these kids may not have had an actual choice.
Evil is as evil does.
If you think bullying is evil, you have had a very soft life. Bullying is wrong, and its a behavioral problem. It isn't evil.
And evil is as evil does isn't any kind of argument. It' is, at best, a fortune cookie.
Think.
