Is the City forever?

[smokinokie]

Whilest having me morning wake and bake and cruisin around the boards this morn, I got to wondering, are we writing what historians will be reading a 1000 years from now?


Does cyberspace go on forever?

Will the City last 'til infinity?

Will my great grandchildren come here and wonder why their great grandfather threw rocks and spears at the moon the other night until it changed to it's right color?

Will it help them understand why they're the way they are?

[overgrowray]

Yes, Yes It Will!

I think there are some things that last forever. My computer may not last forever and this board may not last forever but there are words that have inspired me and touched me from the City that will always last forever somewhere in my mind. So, in some ways the City will always be forever.

Only if the word gets spread on down the line.

My dad and grand father used to tell me about all the things that happened back in the early 1900's. I am passing that on down the line to my kids. So unless one of the kids, grand kids, etc. decides it's to boring, it will last forever!

Do you know who was the one to fire the first shot at Pearl Harbor?

USA?
JAPAN?

Think real hard now!

budhead - please don't kill me, but i think the US might of been trigger happy enough that day to throw the first punch.
*i'm sorry i'msorry i'm sorry*

memory is forever.

[Reefer_Cat]

Well I'm gonna have to say US. Because the other day on msn instant messenger under the part where they have the little headlines it said "Did America fire the first shot at Pearl Harbor?". Yeah..

Even if the city itself doesnt last forever in cyberspace.....it shall never die. The memories, laughter, lessons learned, and friendships shall live on in each one's mind, spirit, and heart. And in that respect, the city shall be a part of the people that contribute so much to its existence.

the US sunk a sub about two hours before the attack started, i believe is what is being said now.

I think the internet is far more than a lot of people seem to realize. It's made communication with someone miles away as easy as if they were right down the street. Yes, we could do that with telephones first, but this is oh so much cheaper.
To bad we don't have sub-etha micro transmitters yet.

The worst part about Pearl Harbour that gets me is that Winston Churchhill knew the Japs were gonna attack as the British had allready craked the Japanese code....but he let it happen to get America to join the war as the allies were struggeling to defeat Hitler.....sad but true.....right or wrong??....he indirectly killed lots of American men....but if he hadn't America would never had dropped the bomb and the war might have claimed a lot more lives....from all nationalities......Peace out....Sid.....was he right or wrong?

The USA had to drop TWO atomic bombs on Japan to make them surrender. And only then did they quit becuase they thought we were going to drop a third. War is wrong and a waste of human life. But If it took two atomic bombs and the senseless death of of a few hundred thousand lives to stop a war that would have took a few million more lives if the bombs weren't dropped and we had to invade Japan.

But to answer your question.... How can we judge someone for what they did at a moment, when we have over fifty years of history to judge his actions. What we know now, may not have been available to him at the time when he had to make decisions. And after all Churchill was the PM of England and trying to save HIS people and HIS country. By bringing the USA he did what his countrymen expected him to do, that is save their butts.
