I was going to stay out of this, but are you being sarcastic?

 

Never in Europe has any extremist group taken advantage of a country in chaos to push it's own ideology and bring violence and death to people both at home, and abroad.

Not once.

Nope.

Nah.

You almost perfectly summerized Germany in the lead up to WWII.

 

Oh you're talking about that country that caused a lot of trouble around the world  over 70 years ago which has now transformed itself into being a country with one if the lowest crime stats in the world.

 

Yeah that's just like these war torn middle Eastern countries that still continue to cause trouble around the world for the past 30 years with no sign of it getting any better...

This. This is why this conversation cannot be constructive. You think the difference between Germany and the middle east is the race of people living there.

The difference, is that the middle east is still in turmoul. It's a land ruled by dictators that show little to know regard for the welfare of their people. And that's when they haven't been destroyed by foreign armies, be it the U.S. or the Soviets. It's also currently in the middle of a struggle between the traditional and the modern. A struggle that has engulfed many areas of the world.

Think of Meiji period Japan.



Bet with Adamblaziken:

I bet that on launch the Nintendo Switch will have no built in in-game voice chat. He bets that it will. The winner gets six months of avatar control over the other user.
