*You're ignorant

As for my high horse, nope, I'll stay right on it.

It really pisses me off when people try to act as though the only reason someone could possibly support the use of the atomic bombs in WWII is because they're ignorant.

No. We not only learned about internment camps in history class, but basically half our senior year of English was devoted to studying the bombing. We read the updated version of John Hersey's Hiroshima. We read James Loewen. We read testimony from the Japanese survivors of the blast. We read statements by BOTH American and Japanese generals. Months and months were spent on this because our final essay on this topic was a position paper on whether or not we believed the bombing had been justified and then using sources to support our position.

I found, even after reading all these sources, that the bombing had been justified. I'm not speaking out of ignorance. My public school never tried to hide anything from me.

If you disagree, feel free to -- but people will criticize your points if they don't find them well-founded or supported (as I do).

But I am sick of people acting as though disagreement can only be due to ignorance.

You are the one who started tossing around the word 'ignorant' and also, remember, 'naive'.

And, once again your schooling/= my schooling or the entire US' schooling. So, yes, once again - *you* are being ignorant and rather naive.

I disagree that we were justified, and shall always do so. Many people - including people a hell of a lot smarter than either of us - feel the same.

So we have agreed to disagree, and I am now going afk, as i have a thing to attend. Feel free to have the last word. I'm done.
