Last I heard, wasn't a boat from Japan recalled after that happened, even though it was carrying a dirty bomb and headed for San Francisco?

Been to the site. The Memorial is a...strange place. It seems very odd to feel such peace in a place that took such titanic violence.

Looking at Japan now, it's hard to imagine 61 years ago the brutality they inflicted upon surrounding nations.

Now we're allies. Oh the irony.

Something funny I found a little while ago.

"What the F*ck was that?"

Mayor of Hiroshima, (61 years ago).

No...I'm in the UK....Hiroshima is located in Japan...where oddly enough it's the 6th.

If I had invented an atomic bomb(unlikely as I usually find more creative means of causing trouble than total destruction) I would at least have it release huge clouds of red and white sparkles. That'd be pretty. :)

I do know where Hiroshima is thank you very much and I know full well what day it is there in case you did not know what I mean by my comment "since it is still the 5th here" ment.

I just think it would have been less of a tragedy if everyone around Hiroshima went "OOh! AAH!" Instead of "Holy Shit!"

That way when people talk about surviving the Hiroshima blast, they would say, "It was really quite lovely. The dead missed a hell of a show."

More to the point, there's nothing to be gained through debate. Those who believe the bombing of Hiroshima was appropriate and those that believe it was a tragety(or even a war crime) are certainly not going to be swayed through debate.

So instead, we should discuss and debate the benefits of sparkles and car insurance!

PS: Thye insurance assessor probably had an easy job: "I'm reasonably confident it's totaled." :p

I do not think it will be a state that will commit the next nuclear atrocity.

Any state that does will cease to exist.

I do think it will be a 'terror group'. And that is even scarier.

Indeed. Which is why I did not have a go at you 'properly'.

We have errr....talked/typed before...a long long long time ago (before the move to jolt..) but my old nation got zapped as I had not logged on for several months due to work.

My old nation was Vonners. Not that I expect you (or anyone else) to remember it.

Generally speaking, context matters considerably more than words now. Which is a definite plus.
