what can you say, really... what can we do that will be of any significance?

wow... i wanna tie my turban like he does...

not so much "economic hitmen", but strategic (and yeah, greedy, self-interested) economic policies do exist, I agree. And yeah, developed nations as a whole do employ all policies necessary to ensure their pre-dominance. But what of it? Any state in existence would do that. And yeah they should be countered. But I disagree that all terrorism is to end "power and money". Some might be, like the extremists who rioted in Seattle during the G8 there (i'm pretty sure it was G8), and then in germany recently. They're loosely conducting extreme actions for economic ends. But to say every terrorist is in a class struggle is an erroneous stretch. Islamic terrorists are motivated by their violent interpretation of Islam, not to end some power class or superior economic class; the same goes with terrorists of any religion. And then there are political terrorists, like the ones who probably blew up Bhutto (or maybe they were Islamic terrorists, we don't know), who ARE looking to topple possible threats to their power. There's no common denomination except for the fact that they all use violent means to their own separate ends. By conspiracy theory I meant that you, or the previous commentor, were linking a lot of things into "something fishy", while not understanding the dynamics. I merely ask that you substantiate those links, as i could clearly list the reasons why there are no links between certain phenomena...

what you're espousing is more of a conspiracy theory. Yeah, economic warfare is a reality, but don't go connecting everything to rich v. poor, west v. east because its never so easy as that. There are several different actors that cause the problems of today, and they may or may not be connected. Unsubstantiated links help no one... and civil wars dont always happen in muslim countries. That is just the contemporary reality. In the 19th century the climate was very different (the US had a civil war). Terrorism crosses all religious, temporal, political, and ethnic boundaries. To think something is fishy is to not know the real reason behind what's happening. Why aren't we willing to say "we don't know the reason why this happened" when situations call for us to do so? Better to admit absence of proof than make it up...

People are people, and they will distort anything and everything. A muslim terrorist is not a moderate muslim, and a sikh terrorist is never a sikh. But realistically, they're both humans, and put under the same violent ideology, they'll use even Buddha to justify their acts...

true that... well, you have nawaz shareef...doubt he can muster that much support. Bhutto had the connections...the one-off, ultra-important connections. I just can't see any good coming out of this for any country. Because remember, if Pakistan really goes down the drain, there's a few nukes they've got stored in a few supposedly secure facilities...

..homosexuality? I wanted to know what SS members thought of this phenomena that is contemporary issue in nearly all countries. I know about it in the context of the U.S., but what are your views? Can a Sikh be gay/lesbian? plz take this seriously... Admin Note: Topic Closed. Discussed many times before, please use Search feature.

india's supposedly secular and doesnt follow the dictates of only one religion... Iran's obviously run by a Muslim government acting on the behalf of God. Hoping for a theocracy that runs without sins is like hoping a diesel truck runs without emitting smoke. So I stand for a secular, liberal democracy. Because only when the intemperate will of the majority is balanced with concern for the rights of the minorities can there be something even approaching a just government.

i'm so with you on that one wallace! "As an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches one." in this case its the probability of Hindus/Muslims/careless youth... if u would notice, the point that this was about a comic NOT WRITTEN BY A HINDU was totally missed... more than once at that

sorry, where is this being printed again? In alan moore's comic, right? Is he Hindu? dont get off topic and started bashing an entire people...

you know, i was just waiting for someone to blame this on hindus....right on, nano. Right on...

Lets not blast emotions around so freely. That site has a number of posts with some very graphic images. Also, most of the text does not have a moderate opinion, but rather something very radical. The Muslim and Hindu shown killing goats are meant to incite hate and dislike. And so are dozens of other pictures. See, I know you're going to play the victim card and legitimately claim that yes, we are not treated equally, and yes, there have been several crimes committed against us throughout our history and especially in recent times. But that is a non-sequitur. It does not follow. What I mean is that it has no impact on what we're talking about: whether this site is "controversial" or not. I conclude from what I see that it is, and I've shown you a few pieces of evidence. Now, go ahead and play the victim card, but it wouldn't change the facts. That site is pretty much controversial. Or at the very least, it is politically-motivated.

my cousin loves tht thing...he plays mario galaxy... i just find warhawk and motorstorm and some of those games more fun. Not that i get any time to play them except for long weekends or breaks...but its fun...

i think its controversial.... Frankly, it looks like the person creating it had a political agenda more than anything, and used religion as a vehicle to express his hate...

well, its a completely different genre...its like comparing RPGs to FPSs. As for multiplay, heavenly swords's first objective was an intense single player. It has achieved that. Now they are moving on to multiplayer, altho there isn't definite news. But you can bet anything on a sequel...since the only complaint for HS was tht ppl wanted the intense experience to last longer. And halo3 does have a good multiplayer...i've played it, I know. But that's it. Heavenly Sword is much more of a cinematic experience. Just see the trailers for it n u'll know... a more direct comparizon would be between killzone 2 and halo 3. KZ2 totally blows halo3 right out of the water... trailer
