Nice reply, you said nothing and restated your point while totally failing to post any evidence.
As to revisionist history, the claims about the necessity of the bombs have been consistent since they were dropped. Only now are people like you making spurious claims of certainty about their necessity (or lack of). It would seem then that it is in fact you who are engaging in historical revisionism.
In addition, you ignored my references to Stalin and Nazi Germany, because they make you a liar and you can't refute them.
I guess it's not your fault, I'm sure that hypocrisy is culturally accepted in whatever insignificant country you're from, so it's not your fault that you lie and say whatever you need to avoid appearing wrong. I know I wouldn't want to be accused of being insensitive, so I'll avoid making any further statements about your lying and hypocrisy.
"Where does that say anything about direct US military rule?"
You'll notice I asked a question, I didn't make a statement. Did they skip that day in asshole school, or are you so itching for a fight that you'll attack anyone who dares respond and question you?
The true test of how sure you are of your opinions is how quickly you attack those questioning them. Since you did it IMMEDIATELY it says a lot about how certain you are of your beliefs (not very).
See, if you weren't as much of an asshole as you are, and you had genuine conviction, you would have said "No".
At any rate, you're obviously not someone worth conversing with, first you lie then you act like a cunt about it. Keep that shit, thanks, I've got better things to do with my time.
Maybe, but when that's your standard response to every post that involves any kind of person that is even remotely associated with a Republican, you can't really claim much foresight. I suppose one day those guys screaming that "ARMAGEDDON IS COMING!!!!" will eventually be right too.
Broken clock and all that.
Then of course there's the fact that you're an intolerable, raving nutjob, with a long history of verbally assaulting anyone who doesn't kowtow to you. I have a strong suspicion you'll do the same to me, for no reason than because I was man enough to respond to your ranting by calling it what it is.
I guess the point is, you may have been right, but no one cares. And that's not going to change no matter how much you verbally abuse us.
"If somebody had invaded the US and overthrown its government and installed an even more repressive regime, wouldn't you expect more terrorism as a result?"
Did you really just attempt to portray the US forces as more repressive than Saddam?
Really?
What did you hope to prove by making such an obviously hyperbolic and inaccurate statement, apart from your own ignorance?
Then find some. Find some houses that meet the criteria, or admit you're talking out of your ass.
I have no idea what housing prices are in California, but others who seem to have suggested you're full of shit. Put your links where your mouth is sister.
"Its because making it big is 99% luck and less than 1% hard work"
That's the mating cry of the "yellow bellied loser".
Successful people don't pretend their failures are due to bad luck like you do, they make critical adjustments and try again. You complain about making it big being "99% luck" not because it is, but because you're not good enough to make it.
It's pretty sad that you're so jealous you'd ascribe to luck what you don't have the skills and talent to get for yourself.
"Regardless, burns are the most painful injuries you can possibly suffer from"
I suggest that in the future, you actually know what you're talking about instead of just acting like you do.
"Third-degree burns additionally have charring of the skin, and produce hard, leather-like eschars. An eschar is a scab that has separated from the unaffected part of the body. Frequently, there is also purple fluid. These types of burns are often painless because nerve endings have been destroyed in the involved areas."
See that "painless" part. Pretty much refutes your statement in its entirety.
As to the most painful, I think getting shot in the gut and dying a week later after your own feces has been leaking into your abdomen is pretty bad. In fact, that's what I've heard is the worst, but I'm not claiming it outright like you are because I'm smart enough to know I haven't done the research.
Lastly, if we really want to talk about painful, try VX
"Normally, an electric nerve pulse would cause the release of acetylcholine over a synapse that would stimulate muscle contraction. The acetylcholine is then broken down to non-reactive substances (acetic acid and choline) by the acetylcholinesterase enzyme. If more muscle tension is needed the nerve must release more acetylcholine. VX blocks the action of acetylcholinesterase, thus resulting in sustained contractions of all the muscles in the body. Sustained contraction of the diaphragm muscle causes death by asphyxiation."
All your muscles spasm pretty much simultaneously, so you take on something of a pretzel shape while having a heart attack and suffocating.
"You DO know that nuking these two cities was pure demonstration and has been shown time and again to be militarily unecessary?"
No it hasn't. Admittedly that argument has been advanced, but there's nothing conclusive and pretending there is makes you disingenuous at best.
"This makes the US the worst rogue nation in history"
Since that conclusion is based on your previous dubious conclusion, that makes you full of shit.
Kind of hard to admit you'll say or do anything to portray the US as "the worst rogue nation in history" isn't it.
And as an aside, even if the bombs were militarily unnecessary, that wouldn't even approach what the Germans did to the Jews or what Stalin did in Russia, so the US still wouldn't be the worst "in history".
It must be very difficult for you to be so jealous of the US that you lie and fabricate to bring it down to your level.
First, fuck you for asking for someone to be modded down while you post AC you pathetic fuck. It's assholes like you that have broken the moderation system here.
If you disagree, post facts. Save the mewling cries for down mods, especially when you're posting AC, that's just shameless.
"New York City tried to succeed from the union because its financial backers depended on slave cotton"
Second, it "secede" not "succeed" which may seem like a pedantic point, except anyone who had read enough about the subject would know how to spell it, as the word gets used so frequently. In other words, if you'd read enough about this for us to trust your opinions, you wouldn't make that mistake.

As long as you're ok with acting like a five year old, I have no reason to call you out for it again.

See, I was right.

"Stop putting up your retarded missile defence system in Russias backyard so they don't have to do shit like this.
They don't have to do it even with the missile defense system there.
Your insistence on blaming the one group for the stupid behavior of the other group must have been great fun for your parents.
