Agree with Antee. I doubt I'm alone in feeling that the problem with World War III is that we should have declared it by now. Instead we're just turning the other cheek, repetitively, in the naive belief that eventually our enemies will just get bored or something.


Disagree with all of you on Antee's side, though I'm not quite with Helio either. Everyone thinks of the future as a place that looks just like today, but with more powerful smartphones and VR porn. News flash: it's going to be a hell of a lot more than that, and it's gonna happen in the blink of an eye.

We have an unbelievable chance to win a war of ideas RIGHT NOW - a victory that will manifest itself when the young generations of the ME and SW/SE Asian and African countries grow up and hold power. Do you think young Pakistanis, I mean young, (pre teen - 18) like the idea of a religion and a culture that celebrates honor killings? (Qandeel Baloch). Do you think young Egyptians are going to have fond memories of the times when the Islamic leaders of their countries issue Fatwas on Pokemon Go?

NO! Of course not. The best thing we can do right now is to stop sabotaging our messages of liberty and equality with, as has been rightly pointed out, half-measure pseudo wars and political puppeteering.

But the answer isn't let's get on with WW3 already. WTF is wrong with you people? The youth of the world will choose Kardashians and Pokemon Go over the Quran and patriarchy. Assuming we can decouple western values from bombs, coups, and interventions.

You act like I want that. I absolutely don't. But you're frothing-at-the-mouth insane if you think "honor-killing" culture is just going to vanish in a wisp of liberal patchouli smoke simply because us first-worlders have better ideas.

You are literally- and I mean that in the real sense of the word, not the internet sense- out of touch with reality if you think this is a problem that is going away through slow, democratic, secular, political change. See what's happening in Turkey? 60% (figures vary, but its a growing majority) of the population WANTS that to happen. They want a religious government, and thoroughly reject secular values.

I'm sorry, I can tell your heart is in the right place, but you need to get out of whatever internet bubble you've chosen to insulate yourself in. We who live in secular democratic societies are the exception, not the norm.

Yea, if only the muslim world could see the freedom western inventions like the Internet brings. Oh wait, they do have internet and are using it to spread a medieval ideology of hate and destruction... :/

The muslim world has been going backwards for the past few decades. Some places were a lot more liberal 40 years ago than they are now. Turkey was always touted as an example how Islam too can co-exist in a secular / democratic system. It's reverted back to islamism in just a few years. The fact is that the muslim world has yet to really grasp the concept of separation of mosque & state. The mosque is currently winning big time.

But yeah, they will still be using out high-tech... against us. Arab Gulf states for eg. are one of the least free societies on the planet, despite having all the technological marvels the west produces.

Did you notice how I quoted the person I was quoting, and it was he who said "the problem with World War III is that we should have declared it by now" I didn't say you said it. Read what I've written in this thread and others about how solutions need to primarily come from within the Muslim community.

What I said above wasn't intended to be comprehensive, just to offer a couple examples for why ideas, unfettered by hypocrisy, are preferable to WW3.

You drew on a whole host of assumptions to say what you said.
Nice attacker wasn't muslim.
ISIS arn't muslims.
They are piece of shits promoting themselves trought griefs and using religion as pretext ( as many countries did by the past to promote war ). And we played their games fully.
The only hard step here is to understand they actualy killed more muslim with their attacks than EU or Americans.
They also made unstable more muslims regions in few years than america and past coalitions did in decades.

Generalizing is the cancer of our society at least in France.

Also note what kind of messages the left is sending out about the West nowadays: that the western world sucks, that we are guilty for everything, that capitalism sucks, that democracy doesnt work, etc... Basically the only reason to come here is welfare.

We wont be winning any muslim hearts & minds with such a messages.

100-70 years ago migrants from Europe were going to the US, because it was a land of opportunity and liberty. Nowadays migrants from MENA are coming to the EU, because it's a land of free money.

This is the worst kind of islamist apologetics. It's the same as saying the Inquisition wasnt catholic / christian. Its a lie, serves just to obscure the real problem and help islamist murderers to kill more people.

ISIS and other islamist extremists - alQaeda, Boko Haram, AlShabab... are 100% muslim. Just the really bad version. They read the Quran, they chop off heads in the name of Allah, they follow Sharia, they wage jihad, they rape infidels... Which is basically what Mohhamed was doing his whole life. Maybe that's why you cant draw him - wasnt a great role model.

I am sad about news out of Nice and the truck that did so much damage..70+ kills in an instant ...it took Orlando shooter four hours to rack up 50 kills with a AK47..

I'm saddened that one person can destroy the lives of so many. Seems all you need is a key to a truck or car. My issue is the accessibility of obtaining a truck or car. It's extremely easy... For $30-70 you can leave a rental shop fully armed. With little training AND NO BACKGROUND CHECK.

Whether we ban Cars and truck, whether we decide to equip everyone with a with a car or truck... How do we avoid mass drivings? No one yet has a reasonable solution. What goes through a persons thought process to commit such horrors? This is why I'm not a psych major... It's never been a curiosity of mine of how humanity has evolved to be so unpredictable.



It's disgusting that you felt a need to mock a thread and poke fun at horrific events. You're exploiting people's misery in order to troll? That's quite frankly disgusting and shame on anyone else who felt a need to participate in this thread. (The exception would be for those that are unaware) As a matter of fact you give me no choice but to report you not only to GGG but to authorities.

I am asking GGG moderators to lock this thread ASAP I will be calling the proper people and authorities. Let this be a profound lesson to anyone that feels a need to exploit or poke fun at countless lives lost because of a sick person or fanatical group.

I've been on these forums for years never have I've come across such a cold hearted and demented thread.

The authorities? Probably a waste of time tbh.
GGG banning all political discussion shortly after getting acquired by China is a weird coincidence.

Pretty funny, never seen you being outraged when the exact same shit is pulled on the gun argument that this is a parody of.
