The Other Worlds Shrine

Your place for discussion about RPGs, gaming, music, movies, anime, computers, sports, and any other stuff we care to talk about... 

  • So Sine, after the research you did, did you find anything else on the numbers of children and other civilians that are expected to be killed by the 3,000+ bombs that "President" Bush wants to bomb their city, their home, with?

  • Somehow, we still tolerate each other. Eventually this will be the only forum left.

<i>You know, when I hear people say we aren't bombing enough -- and that is their explanation for our failures -- I wonder what kind of scale they're using. I presume most of you were living during World War II, and you recall the merciless, intense bombing raids the Germans made upon England and the far greater devastation we rained upon the major cities of Europe in 1944- 45. The peak was ibout 80,000 tons of bombs a month, yet we're dropping more than that now on a little country half the size of Arizona.</i> (<a href=http://www.library.arizona.edu/branches ... gressman's Report, 1967)</a></div>
