If I want crunch in my peanut butter I can mix in some fritos and radishes

Yes that's gross but I mean if the alternative is just slightly crunchier lumps of the same stuff I'm already eating I'll take them.

I think "regular" peanut butter like Jif etc tastes better than the natural kind and I like not having to stir it every time. Smooth is the only option too. I admittedly did go through a crunchy phase in college but it didn't last long before I saw the light again.

that's not a correct use of grognard but good luck to your ideal america, just sitting and chilling till japan decides to just stop invading and murdering, i'm sure everything would be fine and the millions killed would feel fine. you're an idiot viewing japan as the victim and the US as an attacker when Japan started the loving war and the war needed to be ended. It was not a situation where the bully USA was just invading Japan for no reason.

there were many alternatives proposed at the time and they were considered feasible. hiroshima was deliberately spared conventional bombing long before the bomb was dropped, since they wanted to end the war on a terroristic, total victory type of scenario rather than any other possible option

The fact is you have a stronger emotional connection to Japan than to anywhere else that was getting slaughtered so it's japanese death you're angry about instead of everyone else's.

what other options were there? tell us. what about the US war effort is terrorist and why is a non-total victory preferable? what part of imperial japan do you think was worth preserving? why do you think the one big bomb was so much worse than the horrific years long naval blockade and why do you not consider, say, koreans to be people? are you also angry that the allies didn't agree to a negotiated peace with Germany? does your stupid rear end hear about Dönitz as second führer and think "I can't believe this terrorist russkys and yanks wouldn't come to an agreement with the innocent reich"

The bombs were bad because they pulverised between 129,000 and 226,000 people and the cities they lived in

It would also be bad to pulverise between 129,000 and 226,000 people and the cities they lived in if they were Korean instead of Japanese

The alternatives to the bombs was thousands of tons of chemical weapons and mass starvation of non combatants in Japan. There was not an option to not have thousands of deaths, that was never on the table after japan invaded china, Korea, and most of southeast Asia.

1. Tokyo says no unconditional surrender: On 17 July Foreign Minister Togo sent the following message to Ambassador Sato"
"We have been fully aware from the outset that it would be difficult under existing circumstances either to strengthen the ties of friendship between Japan and Russia or to make effective use of Russia in ending the war. The present situation, however is such that we have no recourse but to make efforts along those lines and we cannot be satisfied merely with keeping Russia from entering the war against Japan. We have therefore decided to recognize the Russians wishes on a broad scale in order to obtain their favor. Negotiations for that purpose are necessary ------[Word uncertain, possibly "prerequisite"] for soliciting Russia's good offices in concluding the war and also in improving the basis for negotiations with England and America.
"Although the directing powers, and the Government as well, are convinced that our war strength can still deliver considerable blows to the enemy, we are unable to feel and absolutely secure peace of mind in the face of an enemy who will attack repeatedly. If today, when we are still maintaining our strength, the Anglo Americans were to have regard for Japan's honor and existence, they could save humanity by bringing the war to an end. If, however they insist unrelentingly upon unconditional surrender, the Japanese are unanimous in their resolve to wage a thoroughgoing war.
"The Emperor himself has deigned to express his determination and we have therefore made this request of the russians. Please bear particularly in mind, however that we are not asking the Russians Mediation in anything like unconditional surrender."
