The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

iirc, the firebomb raid on Tokyo killed more people. It just took a bit longer to do it.

You could also point to Dresden or Cologne.

Regardless, Little Man and Fat Boy marked a line of demarcation that we NEVER want to approach again.

In Nagasaki and Hiroshima we witnessed a foretaste of the Destroyer of All Worlds.

That’s not to be trifled with.

There used to be a bright line there. But generations come, and generations pass away and memory dims.

I would hate to be reminded of that bright line by a sudden flash…… in a world armed to the teeth with nuclear weapons, with thousands of strategic warheads, each at least ten times more powerful than Little Boy or Fat Man
