Question about the Middle East

[Bombardier]

....Yeah, that absolutely would not be the case!!! Even if it was, I would at least wash my ass more than twice a month.

Either way, sorry to go off on you like that. It's a nice spring night here and I've had a few too many. Anyway, I got a little hot-headed, but forget about it.

....Hey man, I'm just trying to get the lounge exciting again. Too damn quiet lately with too many people agreeing.

I like you pbds and you know it, it's just that you have to stop to think that the world is either black or white. Most of it is grey. And while Al Jezeera reports news that favour their point of view CNN does exactly the same. The problem is that most of the news you get these days always come with a personal opinion. It's a big diference between "10 people hurt in *********ic act" and "religious fanatics keep on terrorizing -10 people hurt". Would have loved to give you a better example but I think you understand my point.

And the dark, warm, ****ty beer you refer to is more like an english speciality. I don't like Guiness either. But I have to admit that I drink a lot of other **** that might affect the quality of my posts.

...Just ****in with ya about the beer thing bro. And yeah I like you too and didn't mean to offend. I just get carried away with the political **** and I often say things that I really don't mean to come across like they often sound.

Yeah, that's cool, I understand, problem is that I've become one of the agreers. Maybe McKay will jump in on this thread and things will get going again .

Nah, it takes a lil more to offend me as we had some hot discussions before.

The main reason for people not responding to these kinda topics is that they lead nowhere. I've engaged in several discussions and wasted minutes of typing on complete ignorance. Most of the time you know what a certain user would post anyway.

....Just comparing CNN to Al Jezeera shows just how ****ed up your views are. That is the most rediculous thing I have ever seen. That dark, warm, ****ty beer your drinking may be killing more braincells than you can reproduce my man.

Pbds, your not a bad guy but your ****ed-up when it comes to your politics, listen to dude he's very ****ing right.


And about the beer there is a saying up here in Canada. American beer is like making love in a canoe.....it's ****in close to water. I wouldn't go insulting other country's beer because yours sucks. and I've been to a few different countrys tasting too.

....As a hypothetical question: What if the vast quan****** of oil had never been discovered in the Middle East?? Where would that whole region of the world be in the grand scheme of things?? What would their major source of income be? What would their industry specialize in? Without the "look what I found" luck of having all that oil under their land, how different would the region be? The wealth that comes with the oil industry has allowed for families and dictators to rule with an iron fist and keep the people oppressed and in line. Without the oil would the middle east be a democracy? Would their be any terrorism coming from that region? Obviously the oil wealth is a huge source of funding for terrorism. Would the middle east still even exist really? I am curious to hear anyones take on my question.

If there were no oil in the Middle east, I think their top exports would be sand and glass and probably lead the world in "BONG" exports.
