I don't care about the statistics you just threw at me, I don't care about how many soldiers were left, or what attacks they were planning.

The bottom line is, the Japanese were close to surrendering and you cannot justify the deaths of almost half a million people, simple as that.

Some people make me sick.

Wow, i guess you missed the part were the japanese refused to surrender a week before the bombs were used and were planning massive suicide attacks against a US invasion forces.  But i guess you being 15 and your clear lack of information on the subject  we cannot expect anything else. 

I also noticed your from the Uk, i guess the massive civilian losses caused by Uk bombs on german towns was also uncalled for and the Germans were just nice guys who deserved to rule your country and burn it to the ground...

Wow, you insult me because of my age and then like to pretend that you are the mature one?

You are telling me that if America tried to invade Japan, Japan would fight back? That is proposterous, we must immediately kill a quarter of a million people in one of the most excruciating ways possible.

Stop treating humans like statistics, I don't give a fuck how much the invasion would cost, or how many trained soldiers would die, I care about the mothers, fathers, children who died from burns, cancer, starvation, radiation poisoning, the people who died instantly were the lucky ones, they didn't have to suffer for days, weeks and months, with flesh hanging off their bodies and their eyes melted out of their sockets.

And I am fully aware about the bombing of Germany, and I don't recall saying that I supported it. For the most part, that bombing was STRATEGICAL, targetting factories and airbases etc. Although the allies focused on bombing populated cities near the end of the war, something I don't agree with, it isn't anywhere near on the same scale as the death, fear, destruction and suffering caused by the atom bombs.
