A round of applause for Tsutomu Yamaguchi, please

Now, you may not have heard of Mr. Yamaguchi, but if ever there was one reason for not feeling sorry for yourself, Mr. Yamaguchi is it!

Mr. Yamaguchi was on a business trip to Hiroshima on August the 6th 1945.
Not the best of days to be on a business trip in Hiroshima. He got nuked.

He survived though, so it wasn't all bad. Okay, he did have 3rd degree burns and all that, but he survived. And he returned home...
To Nagasaki...
And got nuked there too.

He survived that one as well.

Mr. Yamaguchi died on 4th of January 2010.

God damn. You heartless bastards.
A man survives 2 nuclear bloody strikes and you don't have the decency to pay him some respect.

You disappoint me.

Did he turn into Godzilla when he was angered?

No. He just suffered radiation poisoning, puking and watery faeces until he died.
Don't worry though, it only lasted 64 years for him.

I never thought you were the fake emotional type. When did your new found sensibility first appeared?

Should he have gone to Nagasaki? Yes or no?

Yes. He would have died much earlier in a traffic accident, had he not.

And yet he outlived his life expectancy by going to Nagasaki.

Dude, we all have problems. Sorry

I have lived with MS for 10 years. Can't be that bad right? Well, I'll tell ya, it's a slow horrible torture........... kids are at a period in life, when Dad should be playing and traveling.
So it all can suck, if you let it in your head.

Look around, there are sick people everywhere.
