I looked for the poll option "The Dude", but it wasn't there.

Re: Greatest threat to world peace

people trying to establish world peace are the greatest threat to world peace as they invariably try to do it through violence and intollerance towards anyone who doesn't agree with their definition of "peace".

Muslim radicals are an example (in their mind "peace" means Muslim world domination).
Communists are another example (in their mind "peace" means communist world domination).

And as there's currently no world peace to speak of (and never has been...) the only threats are those to the establishment of world peace, in the definition of an absense of organised violence between population groups.

Re: Greatest threat to world peace

Just my youthful/childish opinion:
"The greatest thread to world peace is the rapid destruction of the middle class!"

Re: Greatest threat to world peace

As the poll shows, the USA is the greatest threat to Al-Quede's and Iran's idea of world peace. Nobody in the western world should want them to succeed at it, unless of course you want to treat women as dirt, stone them to death for disobedience. and ban them from all forms of politics and educational systems. And that is probably only the tip of the iceburg -- see the thousands of bodies in mass graves we found in Iraq. If that's your idea of word peace them I think we might need to talk so that we can blow you to bits.

Re: Greatest threat to world peace

Sturm: what parts of my post do you disagree with? The "blow you to bits" part? Well that was sort of toung-in-cheek, not meant to be literal.

Re: Greatest threat to world peace

I think that China will eventually flex its muscles and "blow you to bits"!

The perception that the USA is the greatest thread to peace might be due to the fact that the USA has at least 1000 times the means to destroy the earth, more than any other country. It is also one very war like country!

Also, see the thousands of bodies in graves we have added in Iraq since 2003!

Yes, <urinate> us off and we'll bomb the shit out of you! Got to admit the last 50 years have not gone very well. But if we (USA) don't take any action then we're criticized for doing nothing.
