Unfortunately, times have changed. We have got quite good at building efficient killing machines and I think that we are getting better,
I have an idea that its time to move on to another planet.
I guess they're just 500 years behind the rest of us. So they've got quite a lot of killing in the name of God to do in order to catch up.
Provided they just stick to killing each other it wont matter so much.

No but I did watch it.
The report - entitled the Power of Unreason - says groups use conspiracy theories to recruit and radicalise people to commit acts of violence.
An example of one such theory is that the bombings in New York and London, on 11 September 2001 and 7 July 2005 respectively, were "inside jobs" carried out by authorities in the US and UK.
Other theories highlighted were that "freemasons control the world economy through manipulation of paper currency", that the UK government is "consciously seeking to destroy Islam" and that a "conspiracy between the Japanese government, the US, and the Jews existed to gain world domination".
However, the study did acknowledge that there were limits to what the government could do to restore trust and urged society as a whole to do more to counter the conspiracy theorists.
One way in which this could be done is by helping young people to think more critically, it said.
It recommended lessons on conspiracy theories and online sources like blogs, Wikipedia and newspapers for secondary school students that focused on digital literacy and 'counter knowledge'.
More needs to be done in schools to teach young people digital literacy, "such as being taught to tell the difference between propaganda and honest and accurate reporting," argues the think tank.
Cheers old boy - I now realise I was all wrong about 9/11.
All the facts have now been fully explained and I can see it was just another conspiracy.
I don't care what they say about you DD you are one clever guy!
"Moving the project to another location would strengthen Islamist radicals' ability to recruit followers and will likely increase violence against Americans"

Your bestest pal Guv'ment goes;I listened to this and it made my poor brain turn to a vegetable like jelly. Can you summarise her point in couple of layman's sentences please... :cheesy:
Your bestest pal Guv'ment goes;
"F**k me, wassat!?"
Then promptly kicks you in the nuts while you're not looking. You scream in pain and stare accusingly.
Bestest pal Guv'ment goes;
"It was a big ugly Muslim fella, he ran off though. If you gimme everything you've got though I'll pay someone to beat 'im up"
Instead of being violently recalcitrant, you capitulate and start emptying your pockets. Y'know, just in case he's right and you end up getting it in the nuts again.
I think by now, many of us have seen the plight suffered by the 21 South Korean christian missionaries still being held hostage by Taliban terrorists in Afghanistan. What perplexes me is, why would you want kill off innocent people who just want to help the ordinary Afghan on the ground but hey, it is the Taliban after all.
What perplexes me even further is why America seems to get the blame, or should take responsibility for this and other groups murderous acts. The argument that is often used is "if America didn't invade Afghanistan and Iraq we wouldn't be facing these problems now ". You can legitimately argue that the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq shouldn't have taken place, fair enough but what you can't do is give these murders a free pass by apportioning most of the blame America's way. Nothing justifies Murder and the terrorists must be held fully accountable for their attacks on innocent civilians.
Interested to hear other view points
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said some saw the 11 September attacks on the US as part of a US conspiracy to protect Israel.
The US denounced his remarks on the 2001 attacks, which killed nearly 3,000 people, as "abhorrent and delusional".
The American delegation was joined in its walk-out by representatives from 32 other nations - including all the EU countries, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Costa Rica.
But Mr Ahmadinejad appeared undaunted by the protest, continuing his attack on Zionism and Israel, says BBC diplomatic correspondent Jonathan Marcus.
"Rather than representing the aspirations and goodwill of the Iranian people, Mr Ahmadinejad has yet again chosen to spout vile conspiracy theories and anti-Semitic slurs that are as abhorrent and delusional as they are predictable."
The best solution to Afghanistan and Pakistan is just to nuke them. Why the hell we are sending our boys over defies belief.
I'd be interested in your views on this piece of news DD...
New call for Dr David Kelly inquest
Basically - this was the one man who could have STOPPED the case for war with Iraq.
I've recently heard that Hutton requested all evidence regarding this case be locked up for 70 years preventing public access.
WHY would that be?
David Kelly - Suicide or Murder???
