wow, i bet the Japanese people who lost loved ones in Hiroshima really feel special about us helping them lol. Im sick of u saying "you dont get it" when someone disagrees with u. Your opinion isnt fact homie. Whats funny about yur statement is this comment..."Thats why I love this place. you can do what the fuck you want". Then WHY ARE U trippin off people criticizing the government? If no one ever criticized or second guessed the government, we would be at the complete mercy of our government...and have a system somewhat like alot of those other countries u hate so much LOL. Im an American just like u. Only thing is, i occasionally try to look at the world from another view besides ours. Of course, we cant understand what its like to be other people...but u dont even TRY. U complain about others only lookin at the negatives in our system here, how many positive things have u said about Americas "enemies"? I dont believe in tha idea that there is a "good" and an "evil" side when it comes to us and our enemies. If u ask Americans, theyd give u a long list of countries who are "evil". If u ask ALL of those countries...theyd probably give u 1 country thats "evil"...us. Now, is that just sum sort of coincidence? Im not saying we are evil, but im not so quick to judge another country as evil either.

The reason I say: "You just dont get it" is beacsue you keep missing the points Im making...
Yes, what we did to japan was an UGLY thing, but it would have been a lot easier to just say: "Hey, you fucked with the wrong country, dont do it again" and then just leave. Instead, we invested time, money, and heart and soul and some of the best minds in the US at the time to helping that country get back on its feet.... Can you tell me about the japanese constitution that america helped construct? Can you tell me the flaw in the Meiji constitution that helped military fanatiscim and imperialistic tendencais become common place in the Japanese government? Could you tell me the date American Occupation of japan ended? Could you tell my the amount of growth and prosperity that occured in Japan thanks to America? Sure, Hiroshim and Nagasaki were two of the most horrific events ever, but the USA helped put the building blocks in place for Japan to become one of the most successfull countries in the world today.

man i understand what youre saying. I just know that our governemnt does nothing for another country, unless there is some sort of gain in it for us. And thats what people dont like. Its fine to worry about yourself, and your own. What people hate, is tha fact that we cover it up with this fake "concern for others" attitude. When i say "we", i dont mean you and me. We dont run the country. But i think so much stuff in this country is hidden from the public, by the government. And what ive seen from a big part of the public, is that they like it that way. We like to think that we help out the world every chance we get. That we arent greedy, and just do for others. How come only Americans feel that way about our government? Anyways, this is going nowhere. Its good that yur so proud of yah country dawg, but u gotta recognize both its postives AND negatives...or else the negatives will never disappear.

If you want to talk about American involvment in World War Two think about this,
1. America never came into World War Two untill they were attacked, They only came in to defend them selves not help others and the English had been holding off the Germans very well and in my personal opinion the reason there was such a big change in the war at that point was because Germany made the mistake of attacking Russia, Russia took alot out of them as well as making the Russians enimes instead of the allies they were to the Germans.
2. Japan was ready to surrender as long as the Emperor could remain as the head of the state, Americans didn't want that and bombed them, That is some sick shit to use a a atom bomb, especially when the other country was already near surrendering. The fact is the American government used those inocennt people as test subjects for the atom bomb, And whats worse, Some extremists jacking a plane and flying it into a building or a government investing a shit load of money on developing a weapon of mass destruction and using it on heavly populated citys.

I really dont know where to begin with all of your errors. Have you ever taken a high school history class? If so you would realize that 95% of what you just said is incorrect.
1.) The English were holding off the Germans well on their own? With the vast majority of countries under axis control, do you think the British would be able to hold off all of Europe?! Sure, the Channel Islands were the only British territory that was captured during the war, but show me ONE single shred of evidence that says the "English had been holding off the Germans very well" Sure, you said its your personal opinion, but 99.9% of historians will disagree with you. U-boats made it so that goods and supplies were not getting to Brittan, and they couldn't get any from mainland Europe because of the Nazi's.
2.) Do you even realize why we used the bomb? Have you ever even read Ibuse's Black rain? If not, I suggest that you pick up a used copy somewhere. It tells not only of the horrors of the atomic bomb, but also what was really happening in Japan at the time of the bombing. The emperor was not "ready to surrender" like you said, he was prepping his people for homeland defense. I don’t have the book with me as I type this, but there is a VERY interesting part where Ibuse writes about how the Emperor tells the people of Japan in a radio address to get ready for an invasion. He tells them to do whatever it takes to kill as many invaders as possible. The Japanese were NOT going to back down. Also, do you know how many American lives would have been lost in a ground invasion of Japan and its occupied territories? If not, you should really do some reading. It would have cost nearly 1 million American lives, far more than the Atomic bombing. Now don’t get your collective panties in a bunch. The Atomic bombing was probably the worst thing this country has ever done, but how many people were killed in the bombings? And how many Americans would have been killed? Sure it sounds vicious now, but if you can, put yourself in a WW2 mindset. How would you feel about your friends and your relatives going off to fight the war in Japan? You wouldn’t want them to go. What if you could end the war with one swift blow, saving American lives? Sure you America haters out there will whine and moan about how America does/did this bad and that bad, but really… People lost their lives so that little fuckers like yourself could grow up and have your anti-American views.
I love this country becasue it allows people like you to have your own flawed opinions. Try moving to Iran and talking bad about their government. See how they like that.
