[World War III]

[FireHawk]

After thinking about the last poll I put up yesterday about peace I started thinking. I think we may be in World War III. What do you great LPFers think?

[linkinpark-1]

This is nothing compared to that past 2 world wars...we have yet to see anything as tragic as what happened then. I'm not saying World War III isn't possible...but for now we can't even fathom how terrible it's going to be.

[FireHawk]

I say this is very beginng of it...WWII started slow it just wasn't like...BAM...WAR...you know what I am saying?

[Friðbjörn]

It depends on how people look at it really.

There's warfare going on in the Middle East and Africa, but that's not considered that big of a deal cause the Western countries don't give a shit about African countries, for instance.

 

A war is never considered a world war unless Europe and the US are facing direct mass weapon assaults or invasion, or are doing so themselves.

[FireHawk]

I think this is a different war. "War On Terriom" well technically there are a terrorists all over the world now I mean many terrioism plots have benn foilded all over the world. Thats why I say it is world war for ex.

Allies: US and Europe

Axis: Terrioists

You know, as cliche as it is, "One man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter."

To the Middle-East, we are terrorists.

To us, we are freedom fighters.

that is true very true vash but that dosen't disprove a big war

[Vash_the_Stampede]

Alas, I never said it did, did I?

I was only making that point.

 

As for WWIII, It could, yet it could not. We won't know until it gets to that point.

[FireHawk]

ur correct sry thought u worry trying to disprove about war

[Pheonix791989]

well as far as looking at how world wars have been started, the first one based on pacts and agreements that drug everyone involved in it as the domino theory based on something small that happened because this country sided with that country who sided with this other country who made a pact with another. Then with the 2nd world war you had your egotistical dictator who tried to eradicate an entire race of people.

 

looking at it like that, lets see, you definentaly have the pacts and agreements in place that caused the first world war and then the evil dictator hell bent on genocide, i'd say if wasnt just the middle east trying to bomb us we'd have the world war. but its so possible

[misspiggy]

we are. we so are. i mean the us just doesnt know how to keep to themselves. i mean do you really think the troops are over there to "help" no they're there because the goernement wants money and the oil. but if one does start. it will be because of oil and religion.

You say that only in the comfort of your nice warm house, surrounded by friendly people whom you know and love. You say that after eating your daily meals and saying your daily prayers. You say that after getting your education and seeing your doctor. You say that after falling asleep in a country where you know, if war were in your backyard, none of the earlier mentioned things would be a guarantee.

 

I mean not to be rude, but grow up and pay attention.

 

You have no idea what you are talking about until you see it from the other side. One mans terrorist is another mans freedom fighter, and one mans world war is another man jyhad.

 

You and your cookie cutter sentiment.

 

 

 

Disclaimer: I mean not to pick on you, or anyone who shares your point of view, but your reply is obscenely disrespectful. Wait until you have family die of a car bombing IN THEIR OWN LIVING ROOM and recite to me why America is a wonderful place and your countries involvement is solving the problem.

 

It's been 5 fucking years, and your country has made it WORSE.

[Reflectionist]

I think it's hard to say wether we're in World War III or not.

 

I mean, most americans consider WWII to be when the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor. Because that's just how egotistical Americans are. I've studied World War II, and there was plenty of fighting before then. I consider WWII to be when Germany first invaded Poland. That is what started the war.

 

As for this war, it's probably not even going to escalate into World War 3. It's just media sensationalism. Israel and Palestine were fighting in the Old Testament of the Bible. I mean, shit. They've been fighting forever. It's likely that the media is being payed off by the White House to overpublicize that so that they can take the civilians' minds off of Bush's failure in Iraq.

 

Well, you know, the whole deal that they sold us on going to Iraq, promising there were terrorists and nukes, but what was really there was a puppet government and oil wells....

Sorry for double posting, just had to make this point, and couldn't do it in the same post. Too important.

 

Arabs. Muslims. Iraqis.

[Lyson]

i just think that eveything happening now is going to lead up to something worse.

woah...do people really think that?

Of course it's a big deal, but I mean for example in history teaching in Europe PH is just one of all the events that occurred during WWII...

But then again Europe can't really talk cause the battles fought in Africa (for instance) during WWII don't really get mentioned in history books...and wars don't become world wars unless the big European countries get involved...

[diana]

Well, maybe we're not in the World WarIII yet but we're coming to that point...This shit that's happening leads to big WW...But I don't know...I'm not really trying to follow and don't really bother about it cuz...I don't want to worry about it too much, you know...I can't look at these fucked up people filled with hate and egoism...Damn...I don't really want to know...

[Stenners]

World War 3 could go and lick my ass cause I dont think I will be seeing it any time soon. The Cold War was way more tense and poised a much bigger threat but it lead to nothing and I can see the same thing happening here.

[LPpinkfreak821]

No. I mean it's bad, but it ain't that bad. I give it another 5 years if the war doesn't stop now.

 

I'd like to point out tho. . . Every time a Bush is president there's a war. wtf!?

 

I dont like Bush. . . . This was is stupid & is only getting more dangerous. I think he needs to pull everyone out before its too late. Before it does turn into WW3.

[FireHawk]

Not a gun shot in cold war....many people have died in War On Terrisom

[Stenners]

I believe the were many gun shots in the cold war and America used chemichal weapons..............

 

Vietnam (Iraq as its now known as America fucked up another war)

Korean War

Afgahnistan

 

Not 1 gun shot, not true.

[Friðbjörn]

Not a gun shot in cold war....many people have died in War On Terrisom

woah dude...are you kidding? loads of people were killed during and because of the Cold War...but nobody mentions it that much cause it wasn't in the US and USSR

[FireHawk]

ah i c i don't know much about Cold War era my mistake i'm just quoting my history book and i didn't know all place stenners talked about was during cold war
