WW3

[Bankai15]

When do you think WW3 will begin?
Fighting for freedom. FFout

[cmpcmp]

if there ever is really a WW3, it wont be important when it is because every body will nuke the earth to death and we will all die.

[Whisper]

There wont be a world war three
gone are the days of super powers facing off

were into the day of terrorism and gurilla warefare now

the existance of chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear weapons of mass destruction will prevent another world war
simply because there'd be no winner

either everyone would be destroyed
or there would be so much damage and death the winner would have lost all taste of victory

nobody wants another world war
even america and russia have learned to play nice

[cmpcmp]

Ur right and your wrong IMO, most normal nations like USA, India, France, Russia, and other nuclear powers (does India have a bomb yet?) will play nice cuz they have nothing to gain, but others like IRAN, possibly future Iraq, N Korea, and others aren't so nice or reasonable.

Just imagine if you will that in a year NYC is hit with a nuke, where from? who knows (not missile), then how friendly do you think that we will be with Russia and every one else? The scariest thought is if someone were to hit the US and then hit some one else to make it look like retaliation, then u can guess what kind of mass chaos would ensue.

[redcar]

yep India do have a bomb.

i am of the opinion that we will have WWIII simply because history always repeats itself. i see it happening in about 20 to 40 years. there are blocs forming left right and centre, like the EU etc. this blocs are getting more and more power and in turn will turn into super powers in their own rights and from that nasty things will happen.

[Bankai15]

I think it would be fought in the middel east.

[JoshDude]

As long as George Bush is running the American Government, im happy to say that i *might* survive.

[serial-thrilla]

wont happen in our lifetimes.

[Phantom]

As long as George Bush is running the American Government, im happy to say that i *might* survive.Ok I just have to say it because I'm tired of ignorance. George Bush doesn't run anything!
He can't do shit without congresses approval.

[Urinalkid707]

okay, that is a stupid question. We are in the midst of world war three. Why would our government declare something like that.

[serial-thrilla]

lol no were not.

[JJJ]

After WW3 there would be nothin left as there are aload of nucleara bombs now. But if there wer one it wold be somewear in the middel east as that is wear all the problems are at the moment.

This is gonna be a hard one. The mathematics behind it are pretty beastly, but yes, there will be another war of the same proportion, one that would be a "world war" of its time. Well, there will be another war of this sort with 95% accuracy, anyway. It COULD never happen again, but that's unlikely, and existence doesn't like unlikely. Anyway, with 95% accuracy, the next war of World War proportions will happen between 1.55 and 2480 years from now.

Yes, yes, I made it math.
And those numbers, though fairly far apart, hold to 95% accuracy. Didn't see anyone else in here give a statement with 95% accuracy. :P

Oh, btw, there's good news:
With 95% accuracy, the human race will last at least around 5000 more years. So, we almost certainly survive the next World War. There's a small but finite chance that we don't, but once again, t's HIGHLY improbable.

[Bankai15]

Damn you know your stuff dude!!

As long as there is people in the world like hitler, stalin, osama bin ladin, sadam, and kim jong. I doubt we will ever be able to avoid another world war.
I just prey I wont have to fight if in comes a lot sooner.

I agree with Whisper.
Another "World War" probably won't be involving nukes, and not even involving much of Europe that was in the first two world wars. It would probably take place in the Middle East.

[Rogue 4]

No war is fought when niether side thinks they hold the advantage (at least not intelligent war). So, if both sides have nukes, and could completely wipe each other out, it would, in effect, cancel out. Niether side would use a nuke for fear of retaliation with a nuke. It (the war) would be done with footsoldiers, aircraft, ships (if possible), and all the regular old goodies. In that situation, an enemy can make up for lack of numbers with good strategy, so those that have high numbers/faith in their military strategists will be willing to fight. A nuke takes no numbers, no skill, and will only be used in the event another nuke is used, as it is "perfect" balance in retaliation. No one wants that, they want a war they can win, not one where everyone dies.

So, suprisingly, the next war, although it may be fought with mechanoids, shield generators, plasma weapons, and the like, won't have a MAD (Mutually Assured Destruction) flavor to it. The goal of war isn't to tie. It's to win.

[theonetheycallbob]

If there is ever a WW3 (im not saying there will be one and im not saying there wont be one) i beilive it will start soon.

[JJJ]

With the wars goin on now in the middel east, if other contrys interfere like whot they did to irac pepel wood take diferent sides resuting in another masive war maybe ww3 and maybe the end of the world as we no it.

[TheWizard]

If you look at wars in Africa and in the middle east we are already on the brink of WW3.

[Hyper]

We've always been on the brink, but as long as the major countries don't fight each other, there won't be a WW3

[kragy]

i think there will be a ww3, mankind can not live without conflict (not saying every single person, but mankind as a whole), and i think it will be soon, maybe 2-3 years, as there have been reports (cant remember were i hear this be) in germany you have to pay to be a jew, so i geuss hitler has came back from the grave

[serial-thrilla]

in germany you have to pay to be a jew? i doubt that.

[cmpcmp]

i don't know where you get ur information. I haven't checked, but last I heard Germany had freedom of religion, and also I know that It is illegal in Germany to produce neo-nazi propaganda and sell it, as well as even making the hail hitler sign in public.
-edit
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hitler_salute#After_1945
Use of the salute and accompanying phrases has been forbidden by law in Germany and Austria since the end of World War II. Versions of the salute are used by neo-Nazis, who also use the number 88 to stand for "Heil Hitler" (the 8 standing for H, the eighth letter of the alphabet). One version is the so-called Kühnen salute with extended thumb, index and middle finger, also forbidden in Germany.

so yes thats illegal, and...

http://www.virtualteen.org/forums/showthread.php?t=9458&page=3
Freedom of religion in Germany is guaranteed by article 4 of the Grundgesetz stating that "the freedom of religion, conscience and the freedom of confessing one's religious or philosophical beliefs are inviolable. Uninfringed religious practice is guaranteed."

perhaps you were referring to...

Church Tax

The so-called "church tax" which exists in several European countries is legally not a tax but contributions for the church that are collected by the state at the same time as the state taxes.

In Germany, on the basis of tax regulations passed by the communities and within the limits set by state laws, communities may

* either require the taxation authorities of the state to collect the fees from the members on the basis of the income tax assessment (then, the authorities withhold a collection fee),
* or they may choose to collect the church tax themselves.

In the first case, membership in the community is entered onto a taxation document (Lohnsteuerkarte) which each employer requires from any employee in order to withhold income tax prepayments. If membership in a tax-collecting religious community is entered on the document, the employer has to withhold church tax prepayments from the income of the employee in addition to the prepayments on the annual income tax. In connection with the final annual income tax assessment, the state revenue authorities also finally assess the church tax owed. In case of self-employed persons or other tax payers not employed, state revenue authorities collect prepayments on the church tax together with prepayments on the income tax.

In case of own collection, collecting communities may demand the tax authorities to reveal taxation data of their members in order to be able to calculate the contributions and prepayments owed. In particular, smaller communities (as e.g. the Jewish Community of Berlin) chose to collect taxes by themselves in order to save the collection fee.

Collection of church tax may be used e.g. to found institutions and foundations or to pay ministers.

The church tax is only paid by members of the respective church. People who are not member of a church tax collecting denomination do not have to pay it. Members of a religious community under public law may formally declare to state - not religious - authorities that they wish to leave the community. With such declaration, the obligation to pay church taxes ends. Some communities refuse to administer marriages and burials of (former) members who had declared to leave it.

(also on the same link)

From what i read it is voluntary to part of the community that is taxed, and isn't decided by the state, it is by the church.

owell, looks like my information was wrong, but i am sure i did hear it somewere just cant remeber were
