The saddest day in the history of our planet
08.06.04 (10:20 am) [edit]
Today is the aniversary of the most horrific thing to happen to humans and all the life on this planet: the dropping of the first atomic weapon on Hiroshima. There is no day more depressing than this day. From that day on, we are now capable of being gods in a sense, and destroying all life. It's interesting how we gained the capablity to destroy life before we learned how to create it. I only hope that my children will never have to feel the weight of the threat of absolute anihilation hanging over their heads.
Happy new year for all my friends around the world.

They should put it in the news, I agree. And thanx. As a fellow human I feel it is my duty.

But does anyone remember the Rape of Nanking by the Japanese forces? Or of the fact that Japanese military tacticians experimented on Chinese targets with disease carrying bombs that they were developing. Hiroshima and Nagasaki were an evil contingency, but everyone is guilty of something. Just my two cents. :) :) :) :)

You're very right, but the development and use of the nuclear bomb threatens all as humans, no matter what race or country.
You're right about the rape of Nanking. That was a dark day.
