credente Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 It’s a mixture of text, pictures and video. Watch it. Read it. Feel utterly humbled by the wisdom and forgiving nature of people who suffered more than any of us can possibly know. Feel uplifted by the thought that you belong to the same species as these wonderful people "Americans are not to blame, the war is to blame. People's unwillingness to understand those with different values - that's to blame." http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/special/2014/newsspec_8079/index.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough the content and quotes from the Japanese victims, but your comments jar when considering the inhuman treatment meted out by their regime to those in the countries they occupied and those that they took prisoner. The bombs saved many lives among those groups. I have a close deceased relative who suffered at their hands and it was truly gruesome. It happened. Are lessons ever learned? I certainly don't feel uplifted by the thought of sharing the species with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irishwasa Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 And yet the wars and the killing go on .... Syria, Gaza, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Somalia, Nicaragua etc. War and fighting over land, power and money. I don't think humankind will ever become truly civilised and live in harmony upon the planet.
