Superman is the ultimate superhero. Not only does he beat Captain America but he beats all superheroes everywhere.
Nothing I can say will sum it up better than this Wonder Woman quote:
WW: Kal-El, the only thing that matters is that S. When someone sees that symbol they know they're going to be okay, because you are there. No hero, new or old, could ever be what you are, to us, to them, to the whole world. There will never be another Superman.
Iron Man wouldn't even have a chance. The fight would be over in less than a minute. Superman could kill Tony in an instant, but lucky for Iron many Clark Kent doesn't murder. : )
You people that say that their should be a negative stigma are ignorant.
My Mother received food stamps, welfare and child support when I was growing up because she was unable to work. My entire family looked down upon her and called her lazy.
Now after all this time the Doctors finally figured out what was wrong with her and said that due to her illness she would have been in chronic pain all these years and that getting out of bed would be a hard task for her.
She def. wasn't faking, and yet, she was accused of it my whole life.
My point is you should be ashamed of yourself. Far more people need the system than don't.
I've been to several meetings here in Atlanta, opposing plans for a Muslim mosque to be built in my neck of the woods, and I adamantly oppose a Mosque being built on Ground Zero!! It is horribly disrespectful to all the Americans who died there! In fact, I object to any Mulim 'anything' being built in this country, except a very large cemetery! Am I prejudiced? You damn right I am!
I'm sorry Kaz, but your argument is not sound. There is such a profound difference between a Glock and a thermonuclear warhead that any analogy is simply preposterous. If you drop a handgun in the middle of Moscow does it kill 300,000 instantly? Does it destroy half the city’s infrastructure and irradiate the landscape for years to come? No, it does not. I have never been one for our country policing the world, but eventually one has to step back and say “enough is enough”. Many wars and battles have been fought and justly won without the benefit of a nuclear weapon.
On August 6th and 9th of the year 1945 Harry S. Truman authorized the murder of thousands of innocent civilian lives. Now some would say that the Japanese had had it coming because of the attack on Pearl Harbor in which an aerial attack bombed and destroyed much of our Pacific fleet, but that was just it. They attacked only the military and the military bases. They did not bomb the surrounding city or kill thousands of innocent American lives. There is no justification for the taking of innocent civilian lives. None. The fact that they were citizens of a country that we were at war with does not make them “fair game” either, but that’s exactly what happened in August of 1945. The United States military, with approval from the President of the United States, condemned hundreds of thousands of innocent men, women, and children to death who had never taken up arms against this country. There are no arguments to justify this action. It was nothing short of murder. Some might argue that Nagasaki was the site of the Imperial Japanese Navy base, but where the bomb was dropped caused far more devastation to civilian sites, and barely any to the Navy base. Hiroshima, the first to be struck, was nothing more than a supply base and had no real military significance. With that being the case why didn’t Truman just warn the Japanese that we had the capability and would use it if necessary. It wasn’t as if the Japanese had been able to get out of the laboratory phase with their program. We clearly had the upper hand, but instead of using diplomacy we used plutonium tipped warheads to annihilate over 150,000 people instantly, and allowed well over another 100,000 to suffer from various third degree burns and radiation exposure for days and weeks on end until the inevitable agonizing last breath. This is the benefit of nuclear weapons.
Now, I know you like hypothetical situations. So let’s try this one.
Sarah is a twenty-something year old female enrolled at Harvard University. She is second in her class in the study of law. Nearing her graduation she has received several job offers from various law firms across the country. To celebrate she has gone to Boston with several friends for a night on the town. They are making their way to a nearby pub when suddenly there is a great flash of light. The initial blast throws her and her friends several feet away. An 18kt uranium tipped nuclear warhead has been detonated over the city of Boston, Massachusetts. It kills over 75,000 people instantly and destroys a third of the city’s infrastructure in less than 2 seconds. The young woman is found thirty minutes later and taken to the closest hospital for treatment. With extreme damage to the hospital itself they are unable to alleviate the young woman’s pain. For seventeen days she lays in bed with third degree burns over 60 percent of her body. Hair has fallen out and she has gone blind from the intense radiation due to her proximity to the blast. Finally, she dies. Previously it is revealed that the bomb was dropped by North Korea. In response to the attack the United States declares war on North Korea and proceeds to fire two Inter-continental ballistic missiles which destroy the cities of Pyongyang and Wonsan killing over 250,000 people. Sarah is laid to rest on the morning after the last bomb is dropped. Sarah. It’s a beautiful name, and that’s exactly what you thought when you gave it to her on the day of her birth. There is no comfort in retaliation, and it does not bring back the dead. All that is left is regret. War begets war. Death begets death. It seems a harsh scenario, but reality is harsh, and so it was for the many left behind in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. So it will be for those when this scenario becomes reality for them.
There is only one true answer. Total nuclear proliferation. As I said before I am not much in keeping with the idea of policing the world, but eventually one must face the harsh reality that as one of the few responsible nations left in this world we must do what is necessary. If you take away the means to produce such a weapon and the current stockpile then you are left with nothing. I am no doubt certain that many will find other ways to wage war, but at the least, it will not be a nuclear war. And that it is an achievement to be proud of passing down to our children, grandchildren, and theirs as well.
If you have so many better things to do than read my "book" why are you in such an uproar about it? Let's see, because you read it? As I stated before I never assumed that you meant the comment to be racist, but anyone with the least bit of intelligence could see the undertone of the remark. By the way, if you had understood my remarks concerning having spoken to my friends about this matter you would see this. I neither asked them before or after if they thought the comment was racist. I simply interjected it into the conversation without much warning. It was all of them that asked what I had meant by it, because they thought it sounded either completely or a little racist. It was only then that I explained the situation. There was never any pretense to the question, and neither did I ask “was that a bit racist?” after the statement. I did however give you the benefit of the doubt by allowing you to explain yourself, which was the honest and fair thing to do, but so far all you’ve done since really is scream “I’m not a racist! I have black friends!” What kind of response is that? Is that really supposed to qualify your remarks? A simple apology for the mistake would have sufficed, but instead you went on an attack as if you need to hide something. I’ve argued with a couple of people on this website who don’t like Obama, and none so far whom I would say don’t like him because of his race, but because of his policies. You were the only one who threw out a comment that without qualification not only sounded racist to me, but several others who don’t need to “know” someone in order to detect a racist tone. And the ridiculous argument that “I can’t be a racist ‘cause I have black friends” is quite possibly the worst excuse you’ve ever used. Don Imus, the radio personality has many African-American friends, but it didn’t stop him from making a clearly racist comment on-air.
Now, let me be perfectly clear on this. I never assumed you were a racist, but your previous comment did sound racist, so I asked you to explain yourself. You did, and I appreciated that. Now, if you felt insulted by what you “assumed” was an implication, even though I told you it was not, then you should have stated so. Even though you would have been incorrect. I could have explained, but instead you simply went on the offensive like most people who truly don’t understand how to get their point across in an argument. They just simply argue because they have felt attacked and only want to fire back. If you wish to behave in the fashion of a child then so be it, but I simply won’t lower myself to those standards. And your comment concerning being the only one on my side. I’m well aware of this. Considering the fact that this website was practically created by your husband who is a conservative is it really that big of a surprise that I’m the only one on my side most of the time? No, and common sense would dictate that I would be. That’s just an awful display of childish behavior once again on your part. So my only advice to you on this matter is simply to “grow up”, and a reminder that so far in this rivalry my conjectures have been summarily introduced with facts, sources, and with subtlety so that egos need not be bruised. So if anyone in this rivalry has made an ass out of themselves I’m afraid you need look no further than the nearest mirror to find the guilty party.
