No, it doesnt make it right. But again...you cant look at how wars were fought decades ago, when weaponry and tactics were different, through the moral prism of how conflicts are fought TODAY. And thats what some here are doing. Its an impossible comparison. Sorry for the spelling error....ugh. The Japanese....ALL of them...had a very hardline view of their nation. I dare to bet that IF the US tried a typical land invasion of Jaoan, those "innocent" Japanese some are talking about would fight the Allies to the death using anything at their disposal. I think it would have been a guerilla war that would make Vietnam look like a cakewalk. BUt thats just my theory.

Bombing of civilian centers were commonplace in warfare at that time. Youre applying modern military tactics and its morality to how wars were fought 60 years ago. Cant do that. And last I checked, JDAMs didnt exist in 1944. You need to learn yourself some history, son. The Emperial Japanese Army made the Third Reich look like schoolchildren.

I wasnt talking to you. Shut the !@#$ up.

PLease tell me youre NOT trying to paint the Japanese in WWII as innocent victims.

WOW

Not only the above....but the outrage from the same people who would "swear to God" that if one of their own got killed/raped/whatever they would do EXACTLY what these Marines did is amusing and hypocrtical.

Facts and reason suck

Meanwhile, in North Korea, citizens who did not "properly mourn" Kim Jong Il's death are being sentenced to up to SIX MONTHS in labor camps. Anyone wanna take a guess at which human rights violation is gonna get the lion's share ALL of the condemnation both from the press, human rights groups and the World at large?

Everyone's complaining that the lyrics to Van Halen's 'Tattoo' are too hokey. As if David Lee Roth's songwriting up until now has had such clarity of thought and deep meaning? This is a singer whose most famous lyrical utterance is "I FORGOT THE !@#$ING WORDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

YOURE AN IDIOT™

"Plunder" and "screwing over" is code for having the audacity to ask one of the lower classes to actually DO REAL WORK for their money. That why liberals HATE businesses. Instead of just handing out money...they "force" people to acutally earn it. I know.....terrible.

So youre upset I made assumptions about your point, but then you go on and assume what I was thinking. Brilliant.

Companies hire when they are doing well and profitable. I know...its a tough concept to understand. Guy....a piece of advice...getting your updates on the economy from someone banging a pot on a streetcorner while barking "1%!!!!!" at anyone who walks past him wearing a suit....yeah...MIGHT not be such a great idea.

Will the liberals line up for the Republican candidate becuase Obama turned out to be so much less like them than they thought? You should try 'thinking' every now and again. Its pretty cool.

Lots of people are lobbying hard for tax reform. They then typicallyy get put into ads wheeling gramma off a cliff.

You have no clue as to why English is the most common language in the world do you? Hint: It has LITTLE to do with us "evil, selfish, myopic" Americans. And to that point, yes...America is the only Country on the globe where its citizenry and government look out for themselves first and think its the best place on Earth. Only Americans do that. To that end...name me another Country on the globe who would do this: http://worldnews.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2012/01/06/10005159-despite-tensions-us-rescues-13-iranian-seamen-from-pirates

CANNOT be Williams'. No way he would alienate his lib Hollywood friends like that.

True, but not where this took place. This was in Chappaqua/Pleasantville, where the road is three lanes in each direction...plenty of space. The accident took place at the bottom of a turn, and the entrance/exit ramps are a bit weird at that exit ( used to go mountain biking right there) so I can see someone getting confused. But there is plenty of signage in case you go the wrong way. Unless youre out of your skull, youll know pretty quick...WAY before you get on the highway.....youre doin\g something wrong.

No its NOT. The question was "Who would you like to see them make a move for?" Schmuck.

Youre obviously not married! Besides...I got all my "personal" money tied up in bicycles.

I witnessed this crash, kind of. Was on the Taconic northbound about four miles behind this family. Saw the accident scene, the covered bodies on the ground as I crawled by in traffic. Just.....nasty.

Why SHOULD it bother him? HIS GUY is the one doing it. So its OK.

Audis are badass, but prices are high. If I was gonna get one, Id go this route, so I can haul my bikes to rides and races and kid(s) to their stuff: http://www.audi.ca/ca/brand/en/models/a4_avant.html

FIXED. LOVE my Acura (Honda) TSX. Second one Ive owned and now looking at a third. Reliable, refined, well made, economical and holds value very well. I took a hard look at a loaded Chevy Malibu before I got my last TSX. I like the design and I wanted to get a good ole, American made car. But I got in one, took a knock on the cheap plastic on the door panel, took a hold of the defroster switch, which was so loose I almost pulled it right out of the dash, and ran out the door of the dealer. Even the Chevy salesmen were like "You drive an Acura? What are you DOING here??!!??" And the worst thing is....the almost criminal thing? A lot of Hondas and Acuras are made in.....Marysville, O-HI-O. Whjat does that tell you, both about American union labor AND management?

"Boom" what? Its now GOOD that the gubmint is subsidizing them? I thought you and the OWS loons hated gubmint subisidies for businesses. Not for nothing, but getting a new car for Christmas is VERY "1%" And good for GM...but I STILL wouldnt buy one.
