No, it illustrates WHY we shouldn't mistreat prisoners. Stooping to their levels does not justify anything except your inability to lower your standards.jonsimon wrote:
The spanish inquisition tortured pagans until they would convert to christianity so that their soul may be saved when they were executed. Obviously this justifies our comparatively lenient treatment of prisoners.

No. . .I said the firebombing in WW2 and so I meant the firebombing in WW2. . .IRONCHEF wrote:
Do you mean the napalm firebombing we did in vietnam? if so, that still didn't kill the hundreds of thousands instantly and eventually killed from the two atomic bombs in Japan.Aenima_Eyes wrote:
Actually the firebombing we did in WW2 was MUCH worse than the 2 atomic bombs dropped on Japan.

Ok, first, vietnam fire bombing killed way more than WW2 firebombing, but NEITHER even come close to the few hundred thousand each atomic bomb did. Please prove otherwise.Aenima_Eyes wrote:

He was trying to say that we Americans were horrible or some such for droping atomic bombs and I was pointing out shit that we did which was worse than that.
Ever read Slaughterhouse 5?

America has done nothing as bad as Germany or even worse (and much less known or talked about), Japan. All has been forgiven for those countries, no? So it's only the jealousy of America's fortunes which are the sin of the world in todays societies? That's what makes us evil. We're successfull and we stick up for our friends. Ya'll need to get up off our tip for the fact that you're on it like a gnat on a dogs dick.
You guys forgot one thing........ You need to say "America Sucks" in every post to be considered a member of the debate section.kr@cker wrote:

Wow, you really need to watch the history channel more often. The US firebombed just about every major city in japan, often destroying entire cities. Remember Dresden? The US did that to a lot of japanese city's. Most of the building in Japan during WW2 were bamboo with thatch roofs, so they burned readily.IRONCHEF wrote:

No, it was actually firebombing. THe US used small bombs to blow the roofs off of buildings then a second wave of bombers came through dropping incendiary bombs.kr@cker wrote:
perhaps carpet bombing is the more appropriate term, as that was the (only) method available at the time, just to prevent confusion
QFT. If America did want to take over the world... they would have already.King_County_Downy wrote:
The funny thing about all these analogies about carpet bombing and nukes and all that shit is that if the tides were turned and THEY had the weapons, what do you think THEY would've done? Would you be player hatin' on them like everyone does to us? War is hell, you do what you gotta do to win. There's no ROE for THEM. Just us. That's fucked. We get all this bullshit critisism for what? America is not trying to take over the world.
edit: this is not aimed at anyone in particular...just the America haters in general.
