Also, the second world war started because of the way germany had been pounded into the dirt and forced to continually pay reparations for the first world war. If you're going to blame anyone for the second world war, you should actually blame the french.
Where do you think WW3 will start?

IN MAH PANTS! Seriously though, I think it will be Sweden or Norway;- I mean Jesus!(The historical figure!), who knows whats going on over there.
Actually, the second world war started because of the way Germany had been pounded into the dirt and forced to continually pay reparations for the first world war. If you're going to blame anyone for the second world war, you should actually blame the French and much of the rest of Europe for oppressing the German people after the end of the first war, to the extent that they actually had to start the second one.Freakout456 said:
I don't blame people for not remembering this since it's rarely talked about that much, as nobody is very proud of what was done to Germany through the Treaty of Versailles (and rightly so).
looking at the chain of causality, I say the big bang is obviously to blame. (or any other of the thousand theories of "creation").PMorgan18 said:

On topic: my bet is on the US and China, because nothing can satisfy their hunger.
No... the Treaty of Versailles was the last straw, it's how France and England (and a few others) pretty much ground-pounded Germany and forced them to take the blame for the first one while laying a dept of reparations on their shoulders that they just managed to pay off last year.Warlord211 said:
Germany may have performed the first acts of war in the second world war, but their hands were forced and they are not to blame.
I'm not saying I sympathize with Hitler or the Nazi regime, I'm saying we (the allies) basically laid the foundation for their uprising by being butt-hurt lousy winners.
I would like to point out that this xenophobe in no way represents any sort of majority view in Australia.Prince Regent said:
While not knowing about the Treaty of Versailles and how it influenced the political structure in Europe to the point of war breaking out is acceptable, insisting on being an ignorant jackass after being enlightened is not.Rainforce said:
It's the same as me making fun of the American war of Independence against the English, saying it was obviously The fault of Christopher Columbus and the Conquistadors for re-discovering the Americas in the first place.
Well currently, the most logical place for it to occur is between Pakistan and India, they've been pissed at each other for years, and don't they have nukes or something?
However, I don't think it is going to happen, or at least until the circumstances of the future cannot be predicted between different nations. (As in from now)

I can't tell if you are trolling or not! There is no secret national order dedicated to overthrowing the government. All it is is showing a little tolerence to people in a country, that since the 70s/80s has become increasingly multicultural.Astoria said:So I'm guessing you believe that America is a indian country and Europe is pagan. You say cultures adapt. Well Australia has adapted into a Cristian country and while this may change in the future that's how it is for now and I believe that imigrants need to respect that. At home they can worship however they please but in public they should accept how things are here. If I went to a muslim country and tried to change their ways they'd have me locked up. Yeah this is off track, but you started itPrince Regent said:
A nuclear holocaust is exactly what Japan tried to avoid by surrendering to the Allies at the end of World War II, and nobody in their right mind wants a repeat of Hiroshima or Nagasaki. China won't nuke the US for fear of reprisals by the US, nor vice versa.
Earlier someone said something about the economy being completely global now, and that none of the major countries of the world has anything to gain from a third World War. For the moment, this seems to be the case, but the world's economy has taken a beating over the last few years, and countries may wish to make contingencies in case the economy continues to decline.
There may be a "self-sufficiency race" of sorts, as countries try to outdo each other on reducing their dependence on imports. The country that becomes self-sufficient fastest will be in the best position to launch the first strike, as it will have the least to lose from attacking another country.

North Korea, or Cuba if Castro got his clammy hands on nuclear arms.
I think I know quite a few people who would beg to differ.Creator002 said:No one will expect it.
If it seems I'm trolling that wasn't my intention. And that's not tolerance. If it was a school with mostly muslim children I'd understand but for just one child its ridiculous. As for the group thing there was a report about it on tv. Admittedly I didn't watch it but you could get the gist from the add.brendonnelly said:I can't tell if you are trolling or not!

yeah this. Nukes are totally the key to world peace. Imagine this at the diplomacy tableOmniscientOstrich said:
"Well maybe we will just invade and take your (insert resource here)!"
"Yeah? well then we will nuke you."
"well gee i guess its just not worth it then."
Although nobody wants this to happen and though the thought scares me quite a bit I would have to say the USA vs Middle East.
I heard that the US has discovered a way of making fossil fuels out of solar grown bacteria now. No reason for them not to come to blows anymore, the Arab world has essentially lost their bargaining chip. I'm kind of glad Obama is in control atm he seems a bit more trustworthy than Bush at least. David Cameron would probably just make things worse.
