The name of this thread is "World War Three...What are Your Predictions?" I think we are seeing the future right now.....global wars in the form of terrorism and civil uprisings. It is a non-ending conflict that never ceases. Global wars, global attempts to quell them, global unification, global strife. We are getting to be one world gradually. United Eur ...[text shortened]... g you have not been paying attention. Never mind, you will find out about it sooner or later.
On the other hand, so far at some point the people tend to get in the way of the elitist's plans.

Originally posted by dystoniacI believe that world forces will realign themselves into two seperate organizations, the so called NOD and GDI.
Personally, I believe that radical Islam will collide with the West, causing upheaval never before witnessed by humans. The anti-Christ, which is the governing body of 'One-Wolrd-Order', aka 'glbalization', will do all in its power to annihilate Judeao-Christian dogma; however, before satan can totally destroy earth, Jesus Christ will return and establish His kingdom.
They will form after a mysterious substance called tiberium is found on the source, and both sides will wage aggressive war to obtain it.
Eventually we will deicover that we were all fooled by a malevolant space alien people who seeded us to l;ater reap the tiberium.
NOD and GDI will unite and defeat the invaders as well as destroy tiberium forever.
The world will enjoy peace forever.
Than the zombie apocalypse will arrive, which is a whole different story

Originally posted by normbenignWell it seems that at every turn its like any other intrigue like the X-Files or La Femme Nikita where you the viewer are never quite sure of the level at which treachery really lies or the point at which point a character outlives their usefulness and thus becomes expendable. Its a bit like that great game of Chinese/Japanese strategy called GO except that in the real world experience, we do not have a KO rule and we see interminable iterations of relative gain or loss with no real advance in the state of play.
It isn't the US/UN/EU that is the empire, but those conspiratorial "one worlders" who attempt to dominate political and economic power via those entities, while at the same time attempting to bring them down, so that they are left in total power.
The problem with conspiratorial "one worlders" is that as they gain access to and embed themselves into positions of power, that those who would also ordinarily want to advance in any bureaucracy/public service power structure, would probably find it difficult to rise and gain promotion while they( the "one worlders" ) are in the ascendency, unless of course, they were also willing to nod in favour of an all embracing one world government. If you apply world systems theory to it, then if the "one worlders" have enough current traction, they will probably gain a controlling majority and effect all the one world changes they want to see before any subsequent separatist movement can establish itself to gain a claw hold and fracture the unified hold.
Given Orwell's treatment of totalitarianism in 1984 and how "The Book" ** is used to lure out opponents of the 'system' its not hard to appreciate that given enough time to burrow deep into the corridors of power, how a group like the "one worlders" may not be able to be resisted. The only way to oppose them may be for them to fully expose themselves. The only way for them to fully expose themselves may be to allow them to sweep into power.
** THE BOOK~The Theory and Practice of Oligarchical Collectivism, a searing criticism of Ingsoc said to be written by the dissident Emmanuel Goldstein, the leader of the Brotherhood. This book explains the perpetual war and exposes the truth behind the Party's slogan, "War is Peace; Freedom is Slavery; Ignorance is Strength." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nineteen_Eighty-Four

Originally posted by kmax87A crazed fanatical fundamentalist might may say that atheists are the “animals” here (and fail to recognise the biological fact that ALL people are, technically speaking, animals) although, of course, I assume that the people that originally wrote that verse didn’t mean anything of the sort.
Exodus 22:19 (New International Version)
19 "Anyone who has sexual relations with an animal must be put to death.
This is your non belief?!

Originally posted by kmax87It seems my Dutch version has placed this verse under 22:19, in the English one it's apparently 22:20.

Death is the punishment for offering sacrifices to any god except me.

Originally posted by KazetNagorraThere's a severe problem with your paraphrase. You're quote is God in first person. Exodus is not Gods words in first person.

Here's how it's written;
20: He that sacrificeth unto any god, save unto the LORD only, he shall be utterly destroyed.
Exodus 22:20 in no way 'commands Christians to kill non-believers'.
I can't believe I'm defending the bible, surely their must be a Christian in here somewhere willing to do this so I don't have to.

Originally posted by BadwaterThe geopolitical aspect of the Arab-Israeli conflict stems from the First World War.
WWII did not end.
It has continued and flourished in unrelenting conflict and violence ever since, most notably in the Middle East. I see the Israeli-Arab conflict as an extension of WWII. It is directly caused by WWII and the battle has raged constantly since, and sixty years later there is still no resolution or end in sight.
