youre missing the point of the words though sorry, cant keep this up! but you're still wrong! and actually greedy and evil for your belifes are grounded in good intentions, like those men that built the atom bomb... they just happened to extinguish the lives of millions of innocent people in the process.

oh yea and their invention has put us at great risk and damaged the world in irreparable ways forthwith.. so will modern western feminism.

Wow, it's not often that I find myself arguing against a conservative on the side of causing military casualties! But you're taking a very narrow view if you think the atom bomb only cost the lives of the people of Hiroshima/Nagasaki with no benefit. Had we not dropped the bomb we still would have won the war, but both sides would have lost a ton more people (more than the bombs took).

And that's just USA vs. Japan ... when Japan wasn't even our real audience, the USSR was. Without the atom bomb it's very likely that WW3, between us and the commies, would have followed not too long after WW2. The only reason we had the cold war instead (which certainly cost lives, but nowhere near as many as a "hot" war) was because of the atom bomb.

(And even with it we still almost had WW3 anyway: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stanislav_Petrov)

Oh and women getting equal treatment under the law to men is going to "ruin the world"? That's like 1940's thinking, but keep pushing it, I'm sure it's popularity will only grow [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.].
