When two cultures collide.

But it is the people running Iran that is bad, much of the population is against the government. If Iran had a west friendly government the people of Iran would come along faster than most.

Well, IF. But these nutballs have proven themselves time and again to be our enemy.

I would not say that most of the population of Iran or North Korea is inherently evil, rather that they need to be destroyed as political entities.

My link is just to elaborate the concept. We do not have to convert them, rebuild them, or any of that cr@p... Just destroy them.

It is as they would destroy us, I know it sounds harsh, but the enemy is set to destroy us and we should reply in kind.

Not quite sure how your link ties into destroying your enemies. You put a corrupt person in charge of Afghanistan and when he does not want to dance to your tune you would are surprised.


It is a good thing you were not the one with the finger on the switch when the USSR was enemy number one.

My link illustrates the futility of 'change'.

Kill the b@stards. That is ugly, that is war.

It would appear the world is shrinking, but we would free up much more area if we were to 'man up' and exterminate some of the unsuitable occupants in areas known for nuthin but trouble and strife.

Examples please.....

The problem is the world is shrinking. Can't turn back the hands of time.

The earth is over-populated by humans. The buried dead will outnumber the living given time. In my town we have 10 cemeteries....for millions of years the earth tends to heal itself...food for thought.

Iran and North Korea, for starters.

But who decides who is to live or die? Why does my right to live trump another person's?

Overpopulated? BS! The entire population of the world can fit into 1/3 of the state of SC!

Overpopulated! Pfft!

[ga-hvac-tech]

WE just need a big war to lower the population...

OK, now that I have your attention: Do you really think politicians have never thought this way? Do some reading... it may surprise you.

Anything that will move people forward, I believe the free flow of information will only help stop people from being blown up.

Muslims not making bombs and strapping them onto themselves would definitely be a help in stopping people from being blown up.

Basically he was saying they were a tribal people with some of them still alive from that time. Society can only change as fast as the people are ready for. Traditions that define you as a people do not die easy. The changes that their society is going through makes your conservative - socialist debate look like a nonevent.

But not really the intent of the thread, more that the exchange of information is vital to the future.

Most of the Islamic leaders and political leaders of Islamic countries have been exposed to Western countries by going to schools in Western countries.

You are just making more excuses for a hateful, murdering group of people who know exactly what they want and how they are going to achieve it. To stop people from getting blown up, Muslims simply need to stop detonating bombs. DUH!

We do have a bit of an issue with being able to grow enough food or obtain enough potable water for the world's population. Had it not been for the discovery of the technique for manufacturing fixed nitrogen, much of the population at the turn of the 20th century would have starved from a lack of food worldwide.

I'm not saying that we won't find more ways to produce enough food for much more people on the Earth, but there are limits as to how many people the Earth can feed at any given time within our abilities and knowledge.

I agree with boots here, I can drive through miles and miles of Texas and I promise you there is very good land with less than 10 percent in cultivation. I have been through most of Oklahoma, much of Arkansas, and much of Mexico and see the same thing.

Nothing, no crops. There are some animals here and there, but even that is Waaay underutilized. Total waste of good land, for the most part. Not to bash anyone, my land is included in the waste as described.

Water is a more regional issue.
