Originally posted by generalissimoPossibly, but it isn't over yet. How do we grade pain and suffering? I will salute him, as he was a great man.
yeah, but you can't compare that to two nuclear strikes.
If I start marking my calender, I can fill each day with a story.
Humm? Steven Biko?
Maybe a shorter period of suffering, but none the less.
I picture a 100,000 angels coming to pick him up, and take him home. His suffering is over, and he left this earth, after making a contribution for all man kind.
When will people look at each other as human beings, rather than left/right-black/white/American/French? All people deserve comfort and love.
Seems to be a tough order to fill. Why?

Originally posted by generalissimoMy guess is that Hugh Glass, with MS, isn't going to make it to age 93.

Edit: oh my bad, apparently MS patients have the same life expectancy as the rest of the population. But that's still lower than 93.

It's more mental for me. The possibility the one of my two daughters will carry on the pattern, never rests in my mind.
I started playing chess, to help keep my mind busy.
May be a bad place to post this, I should do it as a new thread. When I got so mad at FMF about my nephew, I was coming through a bout of steroids to shrink swelling on my brain. I felt like a young stud, strong and mean..... I loved it. Wife hated me... so does FMF.
Sorry Dude.

Now, you may not have heard of Mr. Yamaguchi, but if ever there was one reason for not feeling sorry for yourself, Mr. Yamaguchi is it!
Mr. Yamaguchi was on a business trip to Hiroshima on August the 6th 1945.
Not the best of days to be on a business trip in Hiroshima. He got nuked.
He survived though, so it wasn't all bad. Okay, he did have 3rd de ...[text shortened]... nuked there too.
He survived that one as well.
Mr. Yamaguchi died on 4th of January 2010.

We held a seance yesterday (if that's how you spell it) and asked Biko what he thought of the matter. He answered:
"wooo woooo woooo (ghostly sounds) 619? LUXIOURY! When compared to two nuclear strikes. wooo wooo woooo".

Very nice of you to compare a surprise, pre-war terrorist attack with 2 war-time bombings in which advance notice was given.
Nice logic there Little Boy.

Originally posted by monster truckI don't know why you even bother to respond to him with any sincerity at all. Let's face it Shav didn't start this thread because he gives two bleeps about Tsutomu Yamaguchi.

It's kind of pathetic and disgraceful really to use the name of this unfortunate Japanese citizen for one's own twisted little anti-American agenda here on the RHP forums. You'll never see any outcry from that one over the treatment of the Chinese from Imperial Japan during WWII.
But what the hell, I'll play along and be the dutiful, uncaring, obnoxious American citizen that Shav's wants us to be. As such I take great pride in the devastation that my country wreaked on Japan during the war. Even more so than the atom bombs I'm proud of the fire bombing raid of Tokyo on the night of 9–10 March when 279 B-29s bombers killed 100,000 civilians in one raid. More devastation than either the Hiroshima or Nagasaki bombings. Go USA!!!
