I think that the hypothesis that Extraterrestial Intelligent Life exists in the universe is a statistical certainty... Though a few scientists do have a good argument that we are in fact alone-

I'm also very curious what ET intelligent life-forms are like- they surely must be varied and in some cases, differ from us in ways that we cannot imagine-

Anyways, what are ur thoughts? How do u imagine them?

The best answer will be the most creative but backed by some solid notion of science-

I think it may have been real in the Samurai era, but from the Sino-Japanese war moving forward it decayed to the desire for the reputation for and appearance of "honor" and virtue-

First of all, they violated the first and greatest bushido virtue of mercy to civilians by butchering 20-25 million innocent people...

Second, that virtue of "death before surrender" is a total lie. My grandpa fought them in world war II and the Japanese fought bravely versus peasant farmers armed with farming utensils, but they surrendered whenever they fought forces of equal or greater might-they even cried to their mothers like babies when we executed them. And their coward "god" emperor only surrendered on the condition that we spare him from war crime trials-thus endangering his people to a third A-bomb just to save his own skin...

Third, the virtue of integrity is a total lie because they won most of the battles in the beginning through betrayal ie. like in Pearl Harbor...

Even today, the Japanese only care that they appear to have honor not whether their honor is real-they refuse to admit their own war crimes to their own people while they always point to Hiroshima and Nagasaki and play the victim-

If you ask me, modern day bushido is just a bunch of hog wash-

My opinion is that the kids of those cities were innocent but everyone else was guilty of the mass murder of 25 million innocent people n deserved to die.

But the Japanese moved most of the kids to the countryside n mountains before the bombings

I will apply legal theory.

The 40k Japanese soldiers n 60k-80k workers in the war industry were guilty of genocide via the legal theories of conspiracy n aiding n abetting the genocide-n some of the soldiers r directly guilty b/c they actually either ordered or committed the atrocities.They are all guilty n deserved to die.

As for the other adult "victims", they have 4 possible legal defenses-1.proximate cause 2.lack of intent 3.duress 4.ignorance-the degree of guilt will differ w each n every person

proximate cause is if u either directly or indirectly caused the crime.the people of H n N fanatically support the agenda of mass murder w money, w providing food n services to the war effort-so this p.cause argument fails.

lack of intent-every Japanese knew of the Emperor's policy of "kill all, burn all, n rob all" n they all intentionally w their own efforts contributed to the genocide.

duress means u were forced to do it-this defense only applies if u r forced by threat of death to do it. if the people of H n N did not support the war effort, they wuld b ostracized or mayb imprisoned but not killed-so this defense fails.

ignorance-all of them knew of the genocides-if they didnt they r guilty of negligent homicide or manslaughter

The only thing keeping me together is my family-

We need to draw the line in the sand right now-and show Russia that if they invade Ukraine, it's World War III-So we Americans should deploy troops to Ukraine immediately…

If we don't Russia and the world will think that we are cowards and this world will gradually descend into chaos-and Russia and China will both continue to bullying and invade their neighbors-

They won't start World War III over Ukraine because they know that it will result in the total annihilation of the human race-

We need a spine and some balls and be ready to push that button though, if Russia dare invade

Post your personal and real ghost story below:

Here is my story:

In China---

One night, this girl n I went walking n we went behind a tree in a tea garden-n i moved to kiss her for the very first time n the moment that our lips touched,

BOOOOMMMM!!!!

this dead body, his limbs all warped n bent flew n hit the ground right between us-down the road n i saw a huge semi-truck n a totally wrecked bike on the ground-the truck had hit the guy while he rode the bike-

we panicked b/c it just happened so fast n we just ran n ran-n we made love all night-

two weeks later, i was teaching my kindergarten class while the principal observed it-all of a sudden, the principal screamed n she n the kids ran out of the class-i walked out puzzled n the principal said there was a ghost running around me-

they closed the school for a week b/c of that-when i came back for work, there was a long table filled w food in the lobby, a huge urn outside the front door w/ incense smoke, n this daoist priest w/ a fu man chu, a long yellow embrodiered silk rob, square hat, n a mole w/ long hairs sticking out on his face lol-he was holding an old looking book n chanting-he smudged me w incense smoke, n made me bow to the four directions n made me burn fake money as an offering-he said the principal n many kids saw the ghost. My hair stood up as he described the ghost-it was the guy whom the truck hit-he told me to stay away from the girl-months later she slept w my best friend n stole all my money n left

The Japanese enshrined about 2000 war criminals including 14 out of 25 worst of the worst war criminals of world war II-

Now these war criminals are responsible for butchering 20 - 25 million innocent men, women, and children in the sino-japanese war and world war II-and they did it in the most sadistic and gruesome way possible-including slashing pregnant women open and ripping out the fetuses while the women still lived while laughing hysterically and castrating men and forcing them to choke on their own genitals-and such cruelty was not just one or two cases, they did that to millions of people-they cut millions of babies in half in front of their mothers-

because the carnage was so rampant and widespread, out of the 2.5 million enshrined there, there has to be at least many hundreds of thousands of war criminals enshrined there who committed many atrocities but were not tried- no way did 2000 guys butcher 20-25 million, there had to be many many more-at least a million (which would be 20 - 25 murders per war criminal)-

the Japanese worship these butchers as "gods"-

is there any valid argument as to why this shrine should not be razed to the ground?

The Japanese butchered 20 - 25 million innocent men, women, and children in WWII in the most sadistic and cruel ways possible… Only 100,000 died in Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and off the 100,000, 20,000 were soldiers, more than 40,000 worked in the war industry and only 40,000 were actually uninvolved in the atrocities the Japanese committed… so in terms of human suffering the atomic bombings are INSIGNIFICANT compared to the atrocities that the Japanese committed…

so the Japanese deserved 500 atomic bombs…

I'm glad that we nuked them, I have no sympathy or respect for those who died there-

There is only one real reason why we nuked Japan- Ok, lets examine a couple of our excuses for bombing them-

Excuse #1: To hasten the end of the war- yes, we were weary of war and indeed, bombing them would make them surrender faster than invading them…This is a reason and its a good public relations reason- but its not our true reason…

Excuse #2: To save lives… this is partially true, we bombed them in order to save AMERICAN lives that would be lost in an invasion- we were prepared and willing to bomb Japan to annihilation if they did not surrender-we really did not care much about Japanese lives

The Real Reason Why We Did It: We were so outraged and absolutely consumed with anger and hatred about what the Japanese did to us and millions of innocent civilians, that we wanted paybacks, and we wanted them to pay dearly; We wanted REVENGE and we TOOK REVENGE-Thats the true and honest reason and justification thats in our hearts- Lets be honest with ourselves-

Now, the Japanese butchered 20 - 25 million innocent civilians, and tortured, gang-raped and mutiliated millions more; they slashed pregnant women from genitals to chin, they gang-raped ten year old girls, they smashed babies' heads against the rocks- and they did all this WHILE LAUGHING because it was all A BIG JOKE to them-

Furthermore, 1.5 - 2 million U.S. soldiers died and 3 - 5 million were wounded and maimed in a war that Japan started. Almost every American family had a dear loved one or friend that died or was horrifically maimed in that war…

Sure, many of the decedents in Hiroshima and Nagasaki were innocent (though the soldiers and workers in the war industry were not innocent) and did not deserve to die-but weren't the 20 million people that they butchered also innocent? Weren't my grandma's seven brothers and sisters whom the Japanese machine gunned to death innocent?

We bombed Hiroshima and Nagasaki for REVENGE… and REVENGE is the most justifiable reason of all...
