>>WW III?

I may be just a tad premature in pointing out that this may not be the
start of WW III.

Instead, history may declare that it was the start of Jihad I.

It began when Goddard got that first rocket to go without blowing up 30
seconds into the flight.

D) When WWII returnees began staking out eminent domain over the planet
as their rightful due for kicking the Hun in the ass. Problem is, that
same era of own-it-all thinking is driving things today. If there's
anything MUCH crazier and ham-handed than shooting 50 $2-2.5
million-dollar missles into a starving dirt pit and then parachuting food
to the fringe of it in a bid to practice humanitarianism, I don't need to
know about it.

I also think a further sign of Smarmageddon lies in the fact that the new
crop of syndicated fantasy shows like "Mutant X" sucks so hard, I had to
wrap a leg around my desk to keep from being pulled across the room like a
terrier on a leash. I predict that if we live so long, my TV will
magically become a fish tank holder by 2003.

World War II didn't really end until the occupation of Germany was
completed in 1989 so I don't think C is a valid answer.

Are you saying we can't have two world wars at once? Some people just have
no imagination. I think we could maintain at least four at any given time.
It depends on what the definition of is a world war is.

My own favorite subversive war quote is "The Constitution of the United
States lost any meaning it had in 1865 when the side that was fighting to
defend it was defeated."

Incidentally, ever read the Constitution of the Confederate States? Makes
the above quote look a little less ironic and a lot sadder.

> 1) Has World War III begun?

Actually, WW III began back when Og hit Ugh over the head with a rather large
rock because Ugh put his wall paintings on Og's side of the cave. All of OG's
kinfolk dumped all of Ug's clan over a rather large cliff. This was also the
first known episode of genocide. (All of Ug's kin had come from a species of
humanoid with their bellybutton just above the anus).

WW I was when the pterodactyls stole food from the velociraptors in Pangea
just before the first asteroid of ommision struck.

WW II was when the Clan of Grog fought off all the Stegasaurus after the
dinos raided Grog's food storage cave. This was when humanoids became
meateaters. 150 years later stegasaus became extinct when overhunted by clan
of Grog.

The WAR TO END ALL WARS (Mistakenly labeled WW I) was in reality WW VI and the
Great Euro/Asia War (Mistakenly labelled WW II) was actually WW VII . WW IV
and V were never documented correctly but were believed to involve the
Chinese vs. alien invaders from Aldebaran, and the medevial Europeans against
a bunch of intergalactic vampires with really bad breath.

So..... do they even *have* pigs in Afghanistan? If they are so
dangerous to your soul, are they allowed to roam free, or are they
killed, or what?

think on that, and give him credit for being right. Whether he was or
not, and you'll see why the question is irrelevant.

not a single answer question. Some of the above. Some things not
above.

If I HAD to reduce it to a single answer, I'd have to say the
carefully cultivated American gullibility. It makes it unimportant
what sort of phony baloney Gulf of Tonkin-type incident or what
totally unconscionable bombing raid initiated by a government that has
made it obvious it will murder and incarcerate it's own citizens when
it suits it's interests to and STILL keeps a straight face when
getting all indignant about which raghead owns what piece of desert
and jumping on his ass even though we told him ahead of time that we
wouldn't give a rat's ass if he did invade some shitty oil-rich
wasteland other than his own because at the time he was an ally and we
had other ragheads we hated even more but we don't much care if what
we are doing is right or not because everybody gets a kick out of
finding out all the obscenely expensive snot-guided laser toys
actually work, sort of, and it's good for Wall Street, and fuck, they
all hate our guts anyway, because we bankroll an outlaw terrorist
nation because politicos in this country are FORCED to because of a
monied minority with the same huge snotlockers as the denizens of the
country in question pretty much buys and pays for every American
president before he ever firsts farts on the seat of a limo, so now a
bunch of people in NYC get to pay up on a bill a bunch of
single-minded kings of disinformatzia have been running up for decades
with the passive compliance of the sort of shitheads (euphemistically
referred to as the voting public) that think they'll get the straight
dope on WWII from the History channel, which, unfortunately, is nearly
everyboy, and NOW, we get to retaliate by trashing a bunch of
tentbacks and trying to dislodge a government we helped install,
because at the time they were ALLIES, but now the Rooskies are our
friends and the Afghanis aren't because things change even though they
stay the same because the root of ALL OF IT is sucking Israeli dick.
Starving Iraqi kids, getting dragged into one running sore conflict
after another and getting fucked with and getting tossed face first
into Mideast tarbaby holy wars etc., etc., is just a symptom of being
gutless and caring more about being bought and being elected that
being right.

Bunch of stupid shits. Them and us. And we deserve everything we get.

>Please state your answers in the form of an answer. Thank you.

no.

I'll answer the first question again:

I kinda hope so.
