Do you want a world war?

[sun rise]

Then why do we still have wars?
In war weapons get used and destroyed, that creates more demand than simply arming for war can.

We still have war because we've not yet matured as a species. Greed, hatred, fear, power lust all cause wars. What is said out loud is merely justification for those emotions. And we still have wars because people (nations) know that to allow criminals to get away with such acts just empowers them to do worse.

Ask if anyone wants an unprovoked world war.

There is no such thing. Anything can be used as a pretext. WMD's ring any bells?

It is disturbing that 3 people take this so lightly as to vote YES. Boggling.
My guess is, they do not actually understand what they have voted for.

Probably just some wisenheimers. There's one in every crowd.

These day, I'm not so sure.

It appears that a number of posters have jumped on the "unprovoked" bandwagon, so I was considering their enthusiasm for getting behind this war with that of a world war.

Do you?

I heard the prequels weren't very good...
I guess I'd wait and see what the reviews are like before I'd give it a chance.

Estro's Russo-Ukraine war thread had this option on the poll, so I thought I'd ask

I don't want WWIII.

Last I checked I was the only person who selected that option. I do get a kick out of selecting the dumbest, most obviously wrong answers when given multiple choice options - especially when the question is asked to make a point rather than asked in earnest

So yes, world war 3 let's goooooo!

 

[Nimos]

War?! What is it good for? Absolutely nothing!

(Say it again.)

Not that I would vote yes

But a lot of technologies are developed during wars and think about how much money WW2 have made, whether that is from books, movies or games etc.

 

[Wu Wei]

Think of the technology that could come from World War Last... but then no one would be left to know anything about it.... which is what WW3 could potentially be

The AI will know what to with it!

Wisenheimers...

You made my day.

No one? Only then foolishly unenlightened, perhaps. But this no one takes no chances around your kind.

And that is just one of the small ones we use to remove stumps.

 

[Dan From Smithville]

I fully agree. That would lead to a much more intellectual society as well (only people who have seen the movie will get this).

That is an great movie. Now with more molecules.

Electrolytes. It's what plants crave.

You have seen me before the braces.

 

[Dan From Smithville]

I don't trust rabbits, I've seen the documentary.

Merely anti-rabbit propaganda. Don't believe the anti-rabbitists.

No, that's what I dropped on one of your cute wittle cousins. Hundreds of years ago a crude little bomb could do it, but today we sell more powerful, more colorful explosivesto drunks, and that whole evolution thing. So it just has to resort to that.

 

[Viker]

I didn't vote because there's not a maybe/probably/possibly option therefore not enough variables to choose from.

Besides, there may would be some benefits to a major world war (potential catastrophic civilization collapse potentially due to nuclear annihilation). Everyone loves the Fallout games, right? Wouldn't it be fantastic to actually play in real life? How about the Mad Max movies? Those could be some fun times. And humanity would likely survive to move on to starting over again.

	Latterly Dinsdale had become increasingly worried about Spiny Norman. He had come to the conclusion that Norman slept in an aeroplane hangar at Luton Airport.
Presenter	And so on February 22nd 1966, at Luton airport... (stock film of H-Bomb exploding) Even the police began to sit up and take notice.
