Am I correct in assumming you're relatively new to posting on a forum over the internet?

Hmmm, I'll try but I still don't know what your driving at.   20 years now, how long have you?

How long have I? How long have I what?

Your... I think you mean you're.


Do you see what I mean? You're not making any sense. Don't take it the wrong way, either. I'm just trying to help.

I would vote yes for COULD here ever be a WW3. As the world gets more globally connected and more countries vie for a place at the table of world super powers, I think there will be a time that one of them decides the best way to get what they want will be to fight it out.

humans are too territorial and too egotistical to not fight with each other and as we get more time and distance from the WW2 generation we'll start to forget what a bad idea war is.

I will assume you are just trying to help.   I get in more trouble talking that way and come off very condescending.  The way I see it, is that one should very well know what I am talking about and I shorten it as not to loose the attention of the message or typically people blow me off.  English was and is my worse subject (all my life) and have always had difficulty recalling the spelling of a word, I can not spell at all verbally as one would in a spelling bee.   I can not visualize the word in my mind's eye, but I can "see" mechanical movement (in my mind's eye).  See, how spelling things out repetitively is  frivolous and demeaning?  Plus, it did not help to spend most of my life alone, I have always had a girl friend(s), but worked solo and spent most of my time by myself, so much so, that when I did work with others they would use or ask a name for a tool and it would almost be alien to me because I hardly ever had to associate it with a name.  I appreciate what your trying to get at, but without being much more specific I doubt it will sink in.  And it is mainly because in real life as in face to face when I spell it out for someone they get angry and start saying stuff like I think they are stupid which is the furthest thing from the truth, I just want them to do the job correctly so that I will not come unglued when they want their money for something they have now screwed up.  See, I even repeated myself as other people say you must do to get people to remember what you just said, as in, say what you want to say and then say it again, to me that is rude, I said it, if you were not listening oh well.  Right?  Or is it right about what ?  My answer was yes, in the Middle East, about oil and religion in general.  Oh, and one part that was cryptic and fragmented is that I wrote a book that explains all this religious conflict is not a conflict after all and if everyone would read it and understand it then the world wouldn't have that extra problem, but atlas they will never read nor head the message!  It is not my problem that the reader will not slow down and understand the message and get over getting to the end of the sentence but missing the content.

@ The OP

I don't know.

Bard, I really think you should consult a psychiatrist, maybe. I don't think it's just bad english, you're not able to maintain a train of thought and come off as autistic.

I don't need a shrink, you didn't even answer how long you have been posting on the internet.  I've had a big time high security clearance job and they wouldn't have let me get that far if I was unstable in any way.  I'm as honest and straight forward as they come.  I can also battle wits with the best if they can put their own egos aside.  BTW, you come off as provocative with Look and my name as the first word of your sentences!  And you also have not explained your inability to understand accurately what I have typed.  I understand I can be a bit choppy, but this is starting to sound like someone who just doesn't like me.  I have not heard an intelligent thing out of you yet, and I see your taking the best questions on Atheism as if you can't be stumped, now who needs help?  I have found out something extraordinary about the subject and you all knowing aren't in the slightest curious.  I think you have prejudged me and your going to stick to it.

I really hope you are O.K.

Do you think the world is ever going to see a third world war? How would you see that happening? How could we prevent it?

Yes, and it's happening right now. Not nearly so exiting as the last two, and it will get worse (possibly by a whole lot) before it gets any better, but there aren't going to be ground troops everywhere in this boring sequel. Probably no emptying of nuke arsenals either, other than perhaps a terrorist's dirty bomb - nobody wants to see that.
