The notion that burning a Quran is a really bad thing is based in large part because of the violent reaction, isnt' it?

snorry

are pakistanis who burn US flags "pointless and stupid"

is that because Americans won't go out and murder 1,000,000 people if you disrespect our flag?

>> America threatened to recall all its aid from Britain and sign trade embargos against the Empire using its influence to make others refuse to trade with it as well (thats right, threatening to Bankrupt an ally for not giving in to terrorists)<<

I had never heard that before, but we had ALWAYS hated your empire and its trade restrictions.

>>So Britain gave the problem to the UN and said "We think it would be unfair to remove the Palestinians from their homeland but we leave it up to you" The UN then said lets cut Palestine in two, all the rich prosperous cities can go in the side of the Jewish immigrants and all the shanty towns can go in the Palestinian section, any Palestinian who refuses to leave their homes will be forced to at gun point, EVERYONE WINS!

The Palestinians thought this was mean and tried to fight back, but the western world branded them terrorists and when Palestines allys tried to help they did a pretty lousy job, in revenge Israel said " we will now take even more land off you!"<<

Pretty sure that was between Israel and Egypt and Jordan and Syria not anything known as "Palestinians"

That would be faulty, what i'm suggesting is perfectly logical:

"Either you're for me or I'm going to attack you"

>After shocks are still going, and are getting really really annoying. We are also starting to ignore them. I was at work (one of the luckyones) and we had a 4.4 aftershock. We stood there staring at the roof, trying to decide if we should leave the building or find cover, or something. We didn;t end up doing anything as it had stopped before we could figure out if it was worth worrying about. A week ago, we would have been much more concerned.<

Awesome, you are almost Californian   we stay in bed unless we cant stay in bed

there wasnt a lot in our news about it, probably because nobody died

but sounds like som stuff got wrecked, how long before they think they can mend it? Apparently you are 11 ft further from Australia if that's any consolation

A world war starting on the periphery by some jackasses who think they can destroy their opponents before the UN can take notice.  Not that this will fail through the UN; it will explode when their opponent is NOT crushed immediately and they start bringing allies of convenience into it with the promise of illegal and inhumane rewards -- the destruction and dismemberment of a UN member state, or the genocide of a troublesome cross-border ethnic group, or the evacuation of American bases in the area-- the sort of booty that can NEVER come through cooperation with the Western idea of the World Community.

probably not
