As for the parent comment, I know it changed everything. But beyond the initial years, how has it changed your life over, say the past 2 years. Is everything back to normal? How long do you continue changing your behaviour and living in fear? (I realise you're not American, just asking)




Your argument is that Hiroshima didn't change anything?


No, your first point. The US has been just as responsible mass death. And of course it changes a lot.

Don't be obtuse. Of course it's remarkable, the only other reason you ever hear of 3000+ people being killed in the space of a few hours is when there's some large natural disaster like an earthquake.


Oh for heaven's sake. It was obvious that I meant during peacetime.
