Dropping the bomb near Tokyo would have had devastating health effects on the many more Japanese people, and ultimately would have led to more deaths, than dropping directly on Hiroshima and Nagaski did.

Absolutely. See, Short Hand? It pays to read up on BOTH sides before you jump in a conversation with a half-assed argument against one side and stated with absolute conviction...[/quote:e0819]

Tripper jump off the fucking fanboi wagon, will ya ? He is spewing corrosive crap out of his mouth. For one, the effects of radiation were seen ACROSS Japan from the droppings on the citys. You can't escape it. 2 that is complete bullshit, dropping a bomb right in the middle of a major urban [b]center[b] HAD A MUCH higher effect then dropping 20 to 30 miles outside of Tokyo would of ever had. MY "conviction" is properly placed. All this is about is a half ass rubtle attempt for a slack ass fucking comment he made. (For which he should have noted, then corrected himself/apologized for etc". To top it all off, your trying to ride it and convince yourself of it just to further your anti shorthand" agenda. stay in the IRC/Hood thug. Your childish persona really is starting to fcking tire me out. rolleyes:
