Stalins Organ Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 Since 1600 or so the REALLY big European wars have had some themes (and before then too, but one has to draw a line somewhere....)- Would protestantism exist? (30yw & some other smaller ones) Would France or the Habsburgs be the main force in Europe? (pretty much everything from 1680-1815) Would Germany dominate (be part of) Europe, or vice versa? (WW1, WW2) Any takers for the next one being about whether Russia will dominate (be part of) a wider Europe, or vice versa? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave H Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 Maybe Europe has passed the point of fighting REALLY big wars. Nobody wants the Earth as dead as if it was struck by a 500 km asteroid. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Emrys Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 Proxy wars have been the wave of the future for over half a century now. War between major powers became just too risky. Of course, it's always possible for some boob to miscalculate. Then a 500 km asteroid might look good by comparison. Michael 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwolf Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 I'd say all the Reformation/protestant fights were proxy wars. There were "real" political interests that were pursued in the name of fighting off or helping the protestants. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SgtMuhammed Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 Redwolf, Are you saying that kings and princes might have some motivation for controlling the massive wealth of the Church other than how best to serve God? I just can't believe that. You must be hanging out with Kettler too much. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Affentitten Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 I'd like to see the Spaniards take the ball and run with it. They've been real laggards since the *****ular War and Trafalgar. Civil Wars don't count and I think it's high time they got off their arses and became involved in a global conflict. EDIT: Can you believe that the profanity checker did that to me? The world has truly gone mad. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SgtMuhammed Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 I was wondering why it zapped penin. Sometimes when I get board I just start typing to see what will get through: **** That was interesting. It zapped the F-bomb but allowed the c word and its male counterpart. It also allowed the proper name for donkey. Strange. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Affentitten Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 So I'm the first guy to make teh typing mistake here? But the point still stands: the proper word for the male sex organ is considered worthy of censorship. But I was still allowed to exhort the Spaniards to get of their "arse". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xor+ Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 The current substitute for European wars is the Eurovision Song Contest, channeling all kinds of barbaric impulses.

How come, are there any states in Europe, apart from Bayerische Lederhosen Truppen, who would have anything against homosexuality, English public school graduates, Greece or Sweden? C'mon, things are surely different outside Alabama. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Emrys Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 Yes. You should be ashamed of yourself. It was doubtlessly a Freudian slip. Now we know what Affentitten really thinks about when he types. BTW, just as an experiment: cock and dick. Hmmm, those passed so I guess we are allowed to use vulgar terms but not clinical ones. Interesting. I'm cool with that. Michael 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smaragdadler Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 'Cock' and 'dick' have also other meanings than just the vulgar one. Starting to filter such words would be a shure way to even more **** up the whole stuff... Or maybe its some global conspiracy masterminded by Richard Bruce Cheney... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bitchen frizzy Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 I'll try: testicle bitch So we can mention a testicle, but not the ***** to which it is attached. At least dog breeders and kennel clubs can use this software. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
