A general Question
I hope that this will not be taken in the wrong context,but just as a General Question
Do you think that another World War is on the Cards ?? (Pray the Lord there is not)
With all that is going on between the USA and North Korea ,it is worrying to say the least!
Your thoughts please!
Thank You
And as an additive
What a terrible catastrophe that has happened in Mexico ,so much pain and sorrow for all concerned,our thoughts go out to all those poor people who have lost everyting including Family and Friends God Bless! ALL

Re: A general Question
A handful of maniac Pollies in each country argue and then Millions of innocent people who just want to get on with their own lives get killed.
There must be another way to stop Politicians from doing this.
.
Instead of the Olympic Games, All the politicians and leaders of the nations should be made to act as Gladiators and fight to the death if they have a grievance with another country, and let the people enjoy the sight.
that way no more wars,
Why should Millions of people be held to ransom by a handful of politicians who are employed by the people? Maybe just get rid of Politicians,
A political free world would be a happy world.
There has to be a Better way.

Re: A general Question
My reply to 1 and 2.. see post on Safety. Should also be on here as is a Safety Issue also. Could be a deal with Kim Jon or whatever he is called if he took in also a couple of million illegal immigrants. JWS

Re: A general Question
As said in a previous post on Safety re Hong Kong. Maybe the Chinese could give to NK as a pacifier. With the added bonus of them taken in a couple of million illegal immigrants. As were complaints about the post not being about safety issues, it should maybe have been on here as the safety of the world in effect is nigh on hand. There is one thing depending on what part of the earth you live 50. Per cent should be asleep and will know nothing about it. Cheers JWS

Re: A general Question
#1... Vernon the average person looking at it, and we are all only average, it appears to most of us that there will come a time very soon now, where the leaders in NK will reach the untenable position of the only way out is to use his massive armed forces to wage war and in their minds conquest. It is not of their mind set to back out. With such huge manpower and not put to use is not questionable. Hitler. Started the same way and he didn't start on his conquest as late as this fellah has. He is the third generation who has been brainwashed in the same ultimate target which will be the unification of the two Koreas. After that his targets will be Japan and a few others to boot. I think allsane people realise that a war is imminent unless NK backs down and I can't see that happening in the near future. Anyone more optimistic I would like to hear them console one of the pessimistic ..me.. cheers JWS

Re: A general Question
I cannot see any means being used at the moment working to stop this guy, but if we just let him get on with it, where will he stop ?. I suppose one method obviously being discussed is in some way take him out, but of course there will be someone just as evil to take his place. Its obviously a big problem for the powers that be, but as Kong says, we have no option but will be swept along on the tide, just hope someone has an answer, because the next war will be the BIG one, kt

Re: A general Question
Vern, If it is the case and what will be will be i for one certainly wont loose any sleep over it if the rocket man lunatic in North Korea initiates it there is nothing in the world we can do about it, I would be more worried about surviving a nuclear attack or any of my family, I just hope if it happens it comes down my chimney. Regards Terry.
