		wing-_-nuts on July 12, 2023 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Threads: The BBC drama which affected a generation... I was specifically talking about deaths during WWII. The US is partially responsible for the native american genocide, but I'd argue Britain and Spain are much more so (small pox and it's ilk did most of the killing at time of first contact) Hell if we're talking this sort of original sin, where does it end? Humans have been exterminating each other from the dawn of time.

Okay. The rest of this thread is very much about nuclear weapons and their effects.

No? This comment thread chain is specifically about the use of nuclear bombs in WWII. GP was replying to someone who brought that up.
