That's sillily funny and which makes the event so tragic. Atomic bombs are weapons and in this case, with a goal to end the war and save american lives. It has no humanity. However, it was not an easy decision on Truman's part and affected deeply. Very sad. That's what war does to people. It is senseless.durain wrote:why the ang moh go bomb the korean? maybe they cant tell the difference?hiking out wrote:same reason why the Japanese government built a "Peace" Memorial in Hiroshima and refused to build a proper one in Nagasaki, sites of the atomic bombs in WW2. Nagasaki had a significant number of Koreans, many in forced labour camp/factories. Selective ammensia.
Been to the the Nagasaki museum and don't remember about them mentioning the barakumins. But then they are part of Japanese society so I don't know if there's a need to single them out. Everyone affected suffered. It is heart breaking to read or look at the disfigurement and stories on the aftermath of the bombing which has a lasting effect on the victims. What I find admirable, there was very little hate nor anger expressed towards the perpetrator, despite the magnitude. Rather people were focused on continuing on and movements/events were put in place to commemorate, and serve as a reminder, the cruelty of war. I find their spirit and stoicism admirable.hiking out wrote:I belived it was chosen because it had some industry and was relatively unscath in the war, the argument was that detonating the A bomb over a previously un-bombed or little-bombed city would better illustrate the destructive effects of the A bomb.
sorry some errors, I believe that there is now an atomic bomb museum in Nagasaki but very little or no reference were made to the barakumins (ethnic underclass) and korean casualties.

After 5 years in Taiwan, I have actually only ever heard it once, by kids. Although it was a regular in Beijing, the red haired devils with the big noses.Way_Fast_Whitey wrote:

Although diplomacy is an art, for those, with self respect for others. The saying "Sticks and stones may break my bones, but calling names doesn't harm me" is a wise saying.
OMG...maybe because they are too stress out at their work they become abit coo coo? lolol By the way, do you still have stock now?
