Debate: IS the USA the greatest country.
Side: Citizens should be proud.

Thats what I said.Don't take things out of context.You had the choice of invading japan or nuking them, you chose the nuke, that's not a last resort.Had we invaded there would have been a greater net loss of life. Invading wasn't really considered to be an option, therefore the nuke was the last resort in getting the Japanese to surrender.you can't compare these several "wars" to the world war two.Even better. Considering the rarity of a war such as one of the World War's, it could be argued that the utilization of nukes by any country is also rare. In addition to this, more than one country now has nuclear weapons so the cost of using nukes are much higher.What if a powerful country like Russia or France declared war on you, I bet your government would be pushing those buttons like crazy.If any country launches a nuke to another country, the country being attacked will retaliate with nukes. American politicians know this and consider nuclear weapons a worst-case scenario and last resort in the event that nukes are launched against America.Threat: something that is a source of dangerWhere did you get that definition? You probably made it up as it makes no rational sense. A kitchen knife is a source of danger, is that a threat? Now that I think of it, a pretzel could be a source of danger as someone could choke on it, is a pretzel a threat?You haven't disposed your nukes and therefore have the intention to use them.Ingenious logic..........People keep guns in their houses for protection. Does that mean that they are going to take it outside one day and start shooting people?government changes to one of hostile intent? or global domination?If we start nuking countries to take over the world, nukes will be launched against us. In the attempt, we would destroy ourselves.if no-one is threatened how come they're all building missile defences.Define all.How can you judge something I haven't given you? Past experiences....Random means I'm unpredictable and my arguments can be easily defendedLOL random does mean that you are unpredictable but I dont know how you came to the conclusion that your arguments are therefore easily defensible. You are unpredictable in that your arguments can sometimes be completely irrelevant to what I am saying.I then asked you to select one of these arguments to prove your pointI clearly said any of the arguments apply. The fact that you don't see a connection is irrelevant.just too lazy(typical of americans)Uh oh. Its kind of strange how Americans, who you think are lazy, have the most productive economy on the planet. lol You're smart. Don't worry though, I am intelligent enough to know that generalizing against a huge group of people is ridiculous. I won't do it to British people.They aren't stupid you know, they're not going to let you walk into their capital.Hence, we decided to nuke them.It's what the rest of us would have done.LOL. Nice try. Any rational government would conclude that an invasion would lead to an increased death of its own citizens and a higher total loss of life. Don't try to represent the rest of the world, you're not smart enough, sorry.So just because they defended their countryDon't sugarcoat it. They were refusing to surrender to the victor.Your country is the only "civilised" place to allow an everyday policemen to carry guns. Yeah maybe they should just carry batons, so when they get attacked by someone with a gun they will be able to sufficiently protect themselves.You clearly have the wrong definition of "safe".You clearly don't know anything about America....that's a fact, you retard, and of course I know how long the war was.Right, of course you do. :)You threatened their empire, that's them.But not their existence......claiming it's ok to nuke towns of innocents.It was war. They believed that it was ok to kill innocent Americans, we believed it was ok to kill innocent Japanese people. They were refusing to surrender and therefore refusing to not be our enemy.The Japanese Empire was established before WW1Are you suggesting that Pearl Harbor was built because America was an enemy of Japan? Please say no, dont make yourself look dumb again.You don't just build a huge fleet of ships with no intention to use them.We intended to use them. We did not specifically intend to use them against Japan. Its not like we said "Oh, we are probably going to fight Japan in twenty years, we should build a big navy to fight them."Of course they didn't, the whole text was about the Pacific.It was about loosing oil that the US was shipping them. You said they took back the places they were getting oil from, Alaska is a huge producer of oil, therefore you implied that they took back Alaska.Go to this link, what is the ocean under Alaska......lolhttp://go.hrw.com/atlas/norm_htm/alaska.htm I have argued with americans many times before and nearly all have been unable to understand the sources therefore I have had to clearly highlight the bits that prove my argument.Think of it this way: are the chances of you being constantly wrong higher than the chances of everyone else always being wrong? They dont understand your sources because you constantly list sources that are irrelevant or unsubstantial.I provide a source clearly station that japan wanted to surrenderI believe I explained why that source was useless.....Why did you bring Nigeria into it?As an example. Lol could you really not see that?I doubt you would understand half the words in the "oxford Reading Dictionary" so I chose a source which you could understand.Please don't be pretentious. You chose a source that would satisfy your argument. In this case, your source was a website where random people can make up their own definitions. lolNot only can you apparently read my thoughts but you can travel back in time to do so.Think about this. Who actually laughs when someone insults them. Even if they think that insult is terrible. Its a ridiculous thing to say. Don't try to get me to think things that you fabricate.it was a statement not open for debate but an insult to you.Well I guess you tried then, right? Trying is all that counts.
