Ye Gods has the world gone mad I ask myself?, the way things are going in the middle East I think it would be better to bring all our trrops back and lift up the metaphorical drawbridge, there's rockets and bombs going off all over the middle East and if Israel does go into Iran and mess up their sand pit then it's war and then what!?, why can't these idiots just get on with each other?.
Anyway I have thought about it and have come up with a dam fine plan even though I say so myself!.
Here's how it goes!, the UN goes and see Microsoft and buys up shed loads of x Boxe 360's and then gives each side one per citizen, then they all go online and fight a war in cyber space and whover wins gets 3 wishes (within reason) and a winners cup, then they all go home and have a nice cup of T and play with the grand kids and job done!, well only if their surname isn't Savlie that is!. :o:lol:

    What a cracking idea Mel, I rather like the thought of that! I bet they'd still find ways to fall out though, 'tis the nature of mankind. DD

    Mm I like the idea, Mel, but I do see a flaw in the plan. The first wish of the winner would be to have all the land belonging to the other. That's why sport is so great - all the contest but no-one gets killed. Usually.
    If at first you don't succeed, then skydiving definitely isn't for you.

    Totally with you Mel. I just don't get war. I know it's the nature of mankind but we do have brains. Just wish the warmongers would use them. Love your idea of using x-boxes.

    Tony - behave yourself. :o:lol:

    Nice one. I love the cyber game idea. It would help if they all lived together in peace and harmony and tolerated each others religion wouldn't it?

    Better set up some speakers along the Gaza strip and blast them with Imagine.

    Imagine there are no countries
    Nothing to kill or die for....

    Somehow I don't think they'd listen.

    As an Englishman I take offence at that remark Tody. As usual you seem intent on stirring things up?
    How can you state that we are not religious?
    Ridiculous remark.

    personally I think is how people interpret their holy books that is the problem. They pick and choose the bits they like or twist it around to suit.

    Don't take offence, just try to understand.
    I stand by my words.

    Religion has never been the cause of conflicts - not even in N. Ireland.
    And to say that religion is the cause of all evils....take a minute to think about it - this is bloody ridiculous.



    Are you quoting somebody here?

    Well I was going to post a long reply but to be honest I can't be [*****]Word removed by Moderator, contravenes house rules Moderator AC

    as your logic compass is obviously so badly broken it would be utterly pointless, so I'll cut to the chase and ask you this very simple question.

    What do you think a Jihad is then??.

    Absolute nonsense Tody.
    Religion is one of the biggest causes of war and conflict. You are definitely an oddity mate. And yes, you do cause offence with your stupid statements how the Hell do you know what I, we believe in? ?
    Where are you from anyway? And how did you come to your stupid conclusion about us English folks? ? Dikipedia? ??

    Here you go Liz and tody I think you'll find this very very interesting and educational, after all there’s no need for anyone to live in total ignorance of the real facts these days what with the World Wide Web, the truth is now only a mouse click away. :mrgreen:

    Totally agree Liz it always goes Pete Tong when people who are really after power and control get their hands on them, and sad to say its normally men who do the messing up.

    It is mainly men who do the messing up, but maybe that's because there are so few women leaders in the world. Who's to say that women would do any better, although they might not resort to violence quite as quickly as men. Having said that, Margaret Thatcher didn't hesitate to lead us into war over the Falklands, so I'm not so sure.

    The thing I can never understand is that all religions encourage people to be kind and tolerant towards each other, and to live in peace with their neighbours. Yet religious differences seem to cause so much conflict between people. However, I never think it's the fault of the ordinary people who only want to live in peace and get on with their lives. It's when the extremists and politicians get power-mad that the trouble begins.

    Yep sadly true. most people just want to be left alone it's the ones who get into palces of power who make life missery for the rest of us it's always been the same, I see there's been a suicde bombing on a bus isd Israel, it will be and ISLAMIC Suicide bomber from HAMAS or the aka PIJ Palestine Islamic Jihad who did it no doubt, oh hang I've got the news on and it's just been said on BBC news it was a suicde bomber from the Islamic militant group HAMAS.
