So your like saying it was a good thing to drop the bombs..

Imagine if this had been the outcome. Much as I love Japan (went there for the first time recently), I have to be honest and say I’m glad this wasn’t the outcome, horrific though our actions may have been.

I just started with the idea that the bomb did not explode and then tried to image what the Japanese would do with an undetonated bomb.

Dude, I so want to learn Japanese anyway. Now all I need is a time machine…

i like japan it is a beautiful culture, i as you might know am a cowboy and i have written papers on the independant evolution of the cowboy’s code of chivalry and the way of the samurai, it is suprisingly similar, especially the parts dealing with the showing of emotion and public appearence (or clan honor) One could even compare the lincoln county war to the fall of tokagowa shogunate. So i say hadjema to the idea of being absorbed into japanese culture in THX ’s alternate dimension. LOA

Interesting train of thought… I think they would dismantle it and build their own.

Maybe even make it SMALLER !! Ha Ha! ‘Cuz the newer versions of things from japan are always smaller….heh…okay, it wasn’t that funny.

Trifalmadorian_gameshowhost: Ha Ha, yeah well, when a cowboy dishonored his boss he didn&#8217;t have to commit suicide. <br />PyroPunk: Awesome alternate take on a historical event. Although the 10 years later seems like an awful long time to wait.

whoa…this was totally an awesome idea. and once again, one i never would have thought of, but really cool. lol. i didnt get what was happening till the end, but then i loved it. thanks for entering!

Actually a fair portrait of the fears at the time that for many in power justified taking such a drastic action to put an end to the conflict. Um, but when (@trifalmadorian) did this become my alternate reality?

mistress elsha but often times because of honor cowboys have done things they knew would lead to their own demise because it was what needed to be done(sepaku the tennesse volunteers at the alamo same difference)<br />Thx i was just suspending my disbelief lol

oh i get it sorry dont know why i said thx i meant pyro i been up too late.

Great ficlet of how hasty actions can lead to disaster.

However, I like my US just the way it is. Constant head butting, trash talking, “someone’s trying to take away my rights” and all.
