How something can look almost beautiful yet be so utterly repulsive and disgusting at the same time. - neotrantor, on 11/17/2007, -7/+54but i am le tired

THEN FIRE ZE MISSILES - KibibyteBrain, on 11/16/2007, -3/+34Oh, the French. Having to add an ironic, impeccably artistic existentialist flair to everything they do.

- appleseed1234, on 11/17/2007, -2/+12How can such a generic and blatantly ripped from flickr comment receive so many diggs at the same time?
- copeland3300, on 11/17/2007, -3/+13I hope you're less of a moron some day.

- gibsonic, on 11/16/2007, -3/+10site got nuked as well, i think.
- hydrodev, on 11/17/2007, -2/+8yea, that is the most ***** thing. I agree.
- natdowner, on 11/16/2007, -7/+13yeah, all you can say is wow when you look at those. They're beautiful images, unfortunately of something that's not really so nice lol. But those are certainly amazing photos.
- Buckiller, on 11/16/2007, -1/+6Reminds me of "Narcissus and Goldmund":
"there is such suffering in the beautiful delicate face, and at the same time all the suffering is also pure joy, a smile." - kageki, on 11/17/2007, -0/+5So tired of seeing pics of the explosion. Yes they are quite extraordinary pictures, but those pictures alone does not adequately show the true consequence of a nuclear bomb. Like it's ability to completely obliterate everything in it's path:

- inactive, on 11/16/2007, -4/+8so powerful, it brought down the server?
- SatansSpatula, on 11/17/2007, -1/+5average male digger?
- proliance, on 11/17/2007, -0/+4Europe has to stop attacking itself first.
- Nerys, on 11/17/2007, -0/+4A Nuclear explosion is no more intrinsically ugly or evil than a bullet is. WHAT ITS USED for is whats ugly. Our Star gives us LIFE nd it essentially one gigantic billions of years long nuclear explosion of a scale our minds can not comprehend. A nuke might stop an asteroid from killing us one day. Nuking Japan may very well have stopped us from nuking each other out of existance.
ONLY Sentient Creatures do ugly/evil things. - hydrodev, on 11/17/2007, -1/+5MUTHA LAAAND!
- atonement, on 11/17/2007, -0/+4ze goggles... zhey do nuthing!

I actually have a poster of the first picture, didn't know where and when it was taken, thanks! - inactive, on 11/16/2007, -2/+5Greenpeace better look out.
- xmlsteve, on 11/17/2007, -0/+2Don't forget: there is scientific proof that these tests caused increased cancer for any island residents living within 1000 miles of the tests.

- Albert Einstein - TheKamaSupra, on 11/17/2007, -0/+2Damn you liberals.
- Nerys, on 11/17/2007, -3/+5I am absolutely against the NUKING of japan. I think it was one of the worst things mankind has ever done. I think NUKING a city with a population is worse than what Hitler did. BUT it can be morally and historically justified. UNLIKE what Hitler did.
I also think it was NEEDED. I also think the nuking of japan oddly enough has SAVED mankind from a much earlier extinction. I think the Nuking of Japan is the ONLY reason we never had a Nuclear WWIII or "final war" to this point.
You see as horrible as it was NUKING japan TWICE (twice is important) REMOVED any doubt whatsoever that this was theory and was now infact hard grained into very very ugly reality. It was no longer theoretical. It was crystal clear just how horrible these weapons are.
I think that alone and the fact that countries as a whole are not insane is the only reason we have never had a nuclear war. Those nukings made a hypothesis very dark and clear. NO ONE survives a nuclear war. Consider that a single Nimitz class aircraft carrier contains 2.2 times the firepower of ALL of WWII BOTH SIDES including the nukes.
Why was nuking them twice important? Once means we could still delude ourselves. It was a fluke. Twice makes it pretty clear THIS is what these weapons do. NO questions about it. - Sokkratez, on 11/17/2007, -0/+2I think you mean "by the French" (small error).
- coredump0x01, on 11/17/2007, -1/+3In all fairness, the bottom half of this one still looks like a huge nuclear wang: http://www.yourdailyawesome.com/wp-content/uploads ...
- RedRummy, on 11/17/2007, -1/+3damn! maybe next time!
- jamesov89, on 11/17/2007, -2/+4I hope i never see this in real life.
