Sorry, I was a little confused by your phrasing. Or maybe the sentence was just a little long. It was a lighthearted jab, not trying to antagonize you. Just found it amusing that you didn't seem to count the creation of nuclear arms as a "negative repurcussion" of the Manhattan Project, the entire purpose of which was... the creation of nuclear arms. It was a joke, see. |
No need to be sorry ^.^. I'm just trying to clear up any confusion over what I said. As far as the joke goes I got a laugh from it. I pictured a news reporter on tv saying "The Manhattan project has finished and there were no negative repercussions following it." While a mushroom cloud appears behind him. The joke still works tho. After all I said there weren't many negative repercussions, so all ya gotta say to make it work is "oh so not many ay? Tell that to the 80,000+ negatively affected by it in Hiroshima"
