no useful purpose's

there is no useful purpose for atomic energy or weapon
—Guest G.Zimmerman

HELL YEAH

Nuclear warfare can be dangerous, but just like when they invented bombers, they invented fighters. So every time an atvantage is invented, a counter atvantage is also invented. There will be a counter atvantage to nuclear weapons.

it was good because it helped end the war with japan quick then it might of taken. so i think it was a good thing that the two atomic bombs where dropped.

Use the nuclear bomb for good use like to destroye the gangstars , not for desroye the good people . imagine you are not connected in any bad thing but some people attact on you how did you feel? so , use the bomb to good work not for attact on other country's people.

Fate

In 1945, my father was scheduled to ship out to mainland Japan. They gave him his orders, along with a last will and testament to complete. That meant that more than likely, he and all his fellow American soldiers were not coming back from Japan. Six days before he was scheduled to go, the bomb was dropped on Hiroshima. I think about what would have happened to my dad, how I wouldn't be here, how the war would have continued on and more people from every country involved would have died, and I think about how Japan should never have attacked Pearl Harbor the way they did. That was cowardly and despicable. I think the devastation to Japan was horrible. I feel for all the innocent people that lost their lives and suffered because of the atomic bomb. I blame the Japanese government of that time above all others. Do not awaken a sleeping giant if you don't want to accept the consequences, and that includes the suffering of your own people.

End Justified the Means

The fire bombings of Tokyo killed more people then the atomic fission bombs that were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Why then is there little discussion on mass annihilation by conventional weapons? The atomic bombs ended WWII without doubt. More people would have ultimately died if Japan were invaded and brought to surrender by conventional means. Innocent lives would have been lost and many more American soldiers would have perished. It is tragic that the people of Hiroshima and Nagasaki had to suffer the horror of those atomic weapons, but hopefully evidence of the pain they suffered will be sufficient deterrence to ever subject other human beings to the destructive power of nuclear weapons. There is some logic to the concept of Mutually Assured Destruction and the prevention of further conflict on the magnitude of the great world wars.

nuclear weapons

Nuclear weapon is the worst thing scientest had develop,and the worst country who use them.
—Guest tariq

pretty reprehensible

Ofcourse the japs were wrong but destroying human race is not an option. imagine if USA drops 100 nukes in middle east and IRAN drops 2 in USA the overall effects are the same bcoz 100 nukes kills already dead pple but 2 nukes kills living pple .So I dont really think there is a super power on this globe bcoz once 1 nuke is blown , there are several nukes blown inturn killing . Its jus bragging of human race calling themselves super powers yet we are same . LETS BE HUMBLE AND PEACE PREVAILS bcoz this is pretty reprehensible
—Guest tgaex

necesary but fatal

We all know that If we hadn't droped the atomic bomb we be faceing deaths in the U.S. But there were other ways as well...they would have then some time but a lot more lives could have been saved. Not only that there wouldn't have been as much radio active damage in the enivorment.
—Guest the wise guy

BAD

Nowdays, the atomic bombs are thousand times stronger then before. And if it explodes, it would be a living HELL. survivors would be jealous of the dead.
—Guest HELL

bad

if you are thinking that we will become powerfull with its invention it is just like that lie.for which u cannot find any base.
—Guest waseem sajjad

About 80%... BAD.

Yeah like he/she said; They help us end wars, but do we really need to kill mass amounts of people to stop violence? It makes absolutely no sense. We will all end up with a canceruos disease and die from it if we ever have to drop another bomb. It causes sadness and just ruins the peaceful world we should be protecting.
