Re: Are we on the brink of WWIII ?

Nostradamus is a crock of shit. They've bent the guys words into so many predictions.

Anyway... I'll have to read the news here at some point today and see what is going on.

Re: Are we on the brink of WWIII ?

maybe it is time for the UN to grow a pair and finally do to hamas, hezzie, and the kashmiri groups what the US did to the taleban. just end them. and do it now before this shit really gets out of control on a regional scale.

again, my curiousity is ruining my day. its times like this where i wish i was ignorant to the world and didnt care. our species is one day going to make this planet unhabitable.

Re: Are we on the brink of WWIII ?

on a Nostradamus-related note, everytime i hear 'end of the world' or whatever i think of the Mayan date, December 21, 2012. only 6.5 years to go. then we'll see if those mayans knew their astronomy..

lol i turn on the TV to see what you all are talking about and all theyre talking about is a stupid ass forest fire somewhere. looks like all the info i can get on this stuff is to read.. damnit

Re: Are we on the brink of WWIII ?

I try not to get too carried away with spur of the moment emotions and general pessimism, but my best sense is that we truly are not far away from a more or less global war. I don't know that this specific instance with Israel will kick it off, but I think we have real elevated danger. The reason is fairly simple and has already been echoed by others...

It seems to me that we're approaching a period where international entities who have always been at odds with the world status quo powers - the US and the rest of the "Western World" countries - are gaining enough critical mass behind their cause. This critical mass comes from 1. sufficient cultural and politica unity around uncompromising, totalitarian ideologies that are fundamentally opposed to the West, and 2. sufficient technology and resources to develop a serious global military threat - i.e., nuclear and other weapons of mass destruction. And, it's all coming to a head across the globe at about the same time.

This is all a major negative byproduct of globalization - as different people come closer together, differences are religious, cultural, political and economic differences are greatly exacerbated even as technology spreads across the globe. Put another way, our technological progress is increasing exponentially, whereas our cumulative moral progress is fixed and has not really improved - and arguably won't ever fundamentally improve, given human nature. Even worse, we ultimately can't stop the proliferation of that technology (and the US knows this very well). We now have mobile weapons that can wreak the devastation of what used to be whole armies in the hands of just a few people. If those few powerful people with their fingers on the trigger have everything at stake in the form of uncompromising ideologies, then global instability is really just a question of time. After much suffering and destruction from such an outbreak, things become relatively calm again as the new victors create a new power status quo...but it's a cyclical process that humanity will revisit again and again.

whew that was long. ok back to work now.

If you leave the Mayans out of it, math geeks and numerologists have been saying that date is the date we will see drastic change in the world. Doesn't mean the end, just means drastic change.

I think everyone needs to relax. Israel v. Lebanon does not equal WWIII by stretch of the imagination.

Re: Are we on the brink of WWIII ?

i feel terrible about the jewish population, every time they get shit on throughout history a major war breaks out because they try to defend themselves, and act tough doing it, and in the end, they get more crap and thier portrayal is destroyed. still half of our grandparents genreations blame the jewish society for ww2 and it just isnt right. they were blamed for the early wars in the middle east all because the muslim population wanted control, and it wasnt right. now they are being called agressive and barbaric all because 2-3 groups of people are shitting on them and they are defending themselves.

WWI also started with what seemed like a localized issue in the Balkans.

Turns out someone else was behind that incident and the rest...well everyone knows what happened. It seems that "someone else" is also behind these kidnappings.

Re: Are we on the brink of WWIII ?

ww2 started by a small incursion too. then look what happened.

Re: Are we on the brink of WWIII ?

note to the palestinian and lebanese peoples and governemtns. if your people are the assaulter, then your people bear the consequences. if random citizens started kidnapping and firing rockets at canadians, then i would fully expect canada to react. you elected the governemtns, so deal with thier inability to control the criminals and thier own actions.

Re: Are we on the brink of WWIII ?

[quote=Kamal]Is anyone seeing whats unfolding with Israel / Lebanon / Palestine ?

Wasn't Nostradamus's prediction of WWIII during 2002 ? What if he was off by 5 years?[/quote] Actually, I beleive we are have been involved in World War IV since 9-11. If you cound the Cold War as WWIII. The Cold War has to be considered a war.

Currently, we (the civilized world) find ourselves fighting a war with factions not affliated with governments (for the most part) who detest the civilized world especially western culture. Small events can be the tipping point for a huge conflict... Look at WWI.

We live in interesting times. To appease or bend to those animals who use terrorism as their main weapon is foolhardy. It is time that the civilized world puts a stop to this by doing some house cleaning.

If you found a rat living in a room in your house... Do you just close off the room and for get about it? Do you feed it an hope it does not reproduce and invade other parts of your home? Of do you kill it?

We are seeing a war of ideas and information/misinformation unfold in front of us. Nostradamus wrote in abstractions in his Quatrains... which is like abstract art, it allows the reader to attatch meaning. Sort of like the ink botter test used in psychology.

Just my views.

If history serves as a guide, I would not mess with Israel at all. They have to be the strongest power in that region, b/c their neighbors hate them. They are fighting for survival... kind of like cornering a bull.

BTW, for you mystics the Mayan Calendar ends in 2012... They have the most accurate calendar in history.
