  1. Re:fallacy on U.S. Offers Glimpse at Manhattan Project Facility · · Score: 0

    Honestly, do you even know what you are talking about? that post really made me suspicious. look at how many people fought to the death in iwo jima when it was invaded. Almost the entire island comitted suicide even civillians. And this is just a tiny island of not much importance. It was this battle that made the US drop the bombs.
    from Wikipedia
    " "With their customary bravery, most Japanese soldiers fought to the death. Of over 21,800 defenders, only 200 were taken prisoner. The Allied forces suffered 26,000 casualties, with nearly 7,000 dead. Over a quarter of the Medals of Honor awarded to marines in World War II were given for conduct in the invasion of Iwo Jima."
    now imagine a battle for the main islands. Almost every man woman and child would have been killed. In comparison, the A-bomb gave the japanese leadership and excuse to surrender.

    "really wasnt even necessary to nuke japan since the war was practically over. the only reason was to test the weapon while still in war (to make it more acceptable)."

    i can't believe there are people who still think that is true. Keep in mind this is the japanese we are talking about not the french, they will die before they surrender. They are still finding japanese soldiers who refused to surrender. The japanese are impressive warriors, you have to give them that much.

  4. swarms on How the Batsuit Works · · Score: 0

    is it just me or does this one feature go against what batman is
    "Though it's not on his belt, one of Batman's most innovative and effective gadgets is the sonic device he carries in the heel of one of his boots. This device can be used to summon swarms of bats instantly to create mass chaos at any scene. This allows Batman to create hellish diversions or make dramatic escapes."

    I mean batman is all about not being super natural. The instant bat thing is pretty pathetic.
