    I'm confused, is Colorado Care actually working in CO right now? Quick search seems to indicate that Amendment 69 has failed: http://www.denverpost.com/2016/11/08/coloradocare-amen…

    Just like someone with low IQ and GPA and born in the US is in, but someone with high IQ but not lucky enough to come out of a vagina in the US is out.

    In Santa Monica, does that translate to "don't be poor"?

    Yes. However, I was merely applying gizmo686's criterion of a crime, "it has to be a standard that was at force at the time of the attack", to Nazis in similar fashion as (s)he app…

    > Keep in mind, that it has to be a standard that was at force at the time of the attack Does that mean that Nuremberg and Tokyo trials were just a farce?

    If you actually read both links I provided, you might find them interesting. Also, why shouldn't I quote r/AskHistorians when discussing historical events?

    Japan was ready to surrender before they got nuked, as long as they kept the Emperor. There was literally no need to kill all those civilians. https://www.reddit.com/r/AskHistorian…

    What was the point of demanding unconditional surrender when Japan was ready to surrender before being nuked, if it kept the Emperor system?

    Well at least one US president actually did nuke civilians, on purpose, twice, instead of merely talking about it. Another fire bombed them. And that's even before Vietnam, Laos, I…

    I wonder what America would have been like if slavery abolitionists, women's suffrage leaders, and Civil Rights leaders took your advice.
