Start a fight between N. Korea, Syria and Iran and then go make some popcorn?

Just kidding, but I am wondering why "The Road Warrior" movie is being shown on the History Channel tonight, did I miss something?
Edit: I know when I lived in the freaking heat of a desert, I was not a happy camper at all. So I moved my ass out of the desert!

Hmmmm, threads that slam god are ok but this one isn't? Do you see the irony here?

Last I checked, your god wasn't a member of SM. Which is something I'm kind of suprised about. If he's infallible, he'd have to drive a Supra...
And by the way, that would be hipocracy, not irony...

I do not think nuking the Middle East would make things better. The consequences of that would be more severe. This would anger all Muslims around the world and start a religious war. We have had Hitler trying to kill all the Jews in the past and I do not think that we should be stupid enough to think that ridding the world of all Arabs would solve the problem? I think we should have learned from the lessons of the Hitler Reich and know that genocide does not solve anything.
I hate those Islamic radical groups and think those groups should be stopped and we have to go after those leaders of nations who support and fund those groups like Iran and Syria. I think those countries and their leaders poison the people's mind and teach them to hate the west.
Just got to get rid of those leaders who brainwash their population and teach hatred.
As for Israel, it is okay to defend itself but I do not think it is right for them to blow everything up in Lebanon and cut off the power, water and essential services to innocent people. They are doing alot more damage because they know they have the technology to do it. If one has to go and see how poorly they live and to have all your essential services taken away, you will see how much it would suck.
Yes, Israel has the strongest Military in the Middle East but I do no think it would be able to take all your Arab countries. History has shown that even great nations can be beaten.
Not all Arabs hate Americans....I mean most Arabic countries love the American lifestyle and culture. They love our burgers,our music,our movies, our clothes, our money...
Man, most people around the world dream about coming to see America. The closest thing they get to see America is the movies. Name one country which has influenced the world like America has. None...Have you ever travelled to a foriegn country and seen kids trying to dress like people do here, talk like people do here and act like people do here. And what about those Arabs who come here and stay here. They stay here because they are happy here. Their women can go to school and work and dress any way they like. They have freedom here. I do not think they would want to give this up and go back home. That means they love The American culture and lifestyle.
And with Iraq shattered, Iran is now trying to show off its might. Its like when you create a void somewhere, something elsewhere is filled up.
There is always a consquence..a reaction to an action.
And I do not think the smartest people in the world would be able to come up with a solution to the violence. Only people who value human life could.
Have any of you guys ever heard of that kid from Canada?...Ryan Hreljac who at the age of 6 made the choice to help build wells for South African children. Damn, even the smartest people in many nations did not do that...All they do is talk and talk and thirst for money. This kid can teach the world's leaders about sharing.
Cheers,
Roy

Middle East is gonna be a total shit hole when all the oils gone. Thats the only interest the world has in that area. unless we find someway to power our cars on sand and camel spit then they have nothing for us.

That's idealism if I ever heard it. Sure it sounds good in theory, but the priorities of an adult vs a child are completely different. And does that kid even understand the decision he made? I remember doing things as a kid because I saw other people doing it or because my parents wanted me to, I didn't question it and I didn't disagree with most things they told me because I didn't truly understand.
What also happens if you help out one nation by doing something like building wells for them, but you don't help out another. Say the two countries house two ethnic groups that have a history of going at each others throats. You've just shown faavoritism to one group and now anger and resentment are growing in the other group. Now has your good deed really helped anyone out?
I'm not saying don't help anyone out. But much like feeding pigeons...if you feed one, you will be swamped with others looking for handouts.

Thats what shotguns are for.
Too many pigeons ends up being a problem, Kill off a few and the others have more food and live better lives.

Ironic OTOH is who used to support and feed radicals like Osama Bin Laden, Saddam Hussein etc. in the first place when it seemed advantegeous. But that's another topic.
And I'm quite surprised, I always thought those "nuke 'em all, this will solve all our problems" retar...ermm... people only existed in movies. Learn something new everyday

This thread is done. Too much flaming, not enough constructive discussion. I've stayed out of too many threads I thought should be closed, and I'm closing this one before it gets worse. Sorry to the thread starter and anyone that actually wanted to discuss different sides to the issue, but I'm not letting this thread get out of hand.
