East or the West?

[anis_z24]

AA

I would like to remind all those papers and media headlines
that the earth is a sphere.
ye know when they say East or West like the the world is flat and East and West are the to sides who are at war.

They are provoking conflictiong feeling among people. They are blind people so that the world as a whole is forgotten and instead people only know East and West.

The "invisible barrier" if you want to call it. It is sad, terrible, destructive and its killing us along with our senses.

What should we do?

[Khan-Ghalgha]

Unite and fight back, if you ask me

Unite and fight back, if you ask me

Is this just another one of your hate messages? :raging:

[Khan-Ghalgha]

Then what other political name do you think they should use to refer to Europe and America (i.e. generally first wiorld countries) as collectively on one side, and the Middle East, South & East & South East Asia (i.e. generally third world countries, with the exception of Australia and New Zealand) as on the other?

[Muezzin]

Who should unite

Humanity.

and what should they fight? :?

The Martians.

You've bought into the government conspiracy. Everyone knows the real enemy in our galaxy calls Jupiter home.

Notice that all the planets are named after Greek gods? Coincidence? I think not, there is obviously some group out there promoting Greek polytheism.

[AvarAllahNoor]

I prefer the South...

In Birmingham they love the governor...

Oh dear. I've started a chain of off-topic posts. But that should be enough levity for this thread, don't you think? Let's discuss the first post :)

East is that way ------->

West is this way <-------

Don't go this way <----->


That is my limit of geography. Now historicaly Conquest has always been from the East to the west and from the North to the South. We have now circumvented the globe and we have no further lands to expand into. The result is we are all going to have to learn to play in this play pen and stop stealing the little kid's toys.

Right now we do not seem to be doing a very good job.

[AvarAllahNoor]

Woodrow the next way is ^^ UP!

[Woodrow]

Woodrow the next way is ^^ UP!

That is the route we all need to learn to take. The alternatives do not look very bright.

Did you know that the actual North Pole is the South Pole and the actual South Pole is the North Pole.

Basically that measn Antartica is the actual most Northern continent and when you look at a globe you are always looking at it upside down like how you see things in a womb.

It also would make the East and West be opposite of what they truly are. That makes the Western Hemisphere to be the Eastern Hemisphere and the Eastern Hemisphere the Western Hemisphere.

Tops-turby is how true reality is from the reality of man.

that is based upon physics in the sense that the north pole on a magnet points north and since like pole repel that means the Earths North pole is a magnetic south pole.(More likely magnetism was misunderstood and the proper names for the compass should have been North Seeking Pole and not north pole)

the names really are of no importance and relative only to the observer. as long as all people agree on a name it is the valid name for navigational purposes. Maybe we should have named the poles X and Y and be politically correct.



OOOps, they do that on graph paper, the names are taken.

[barney]

I was , rather coincidentally, thinking about this earlier. Lets say there was a big super intersteller race that decided to come over and give earth a good hiding. Would The West and The ummah unite to fight 'em or would we try to convince them to help us in our hatred of each other?

[snakelegs]

maybe we would all sit there scratching our heads and wondering what to do next.

[barney]

Escpecially if they say to us, "Hey, we colonised your planet 6000 years ago, sorry we had to leave, ahh well, were back now..your long lost ancestors....Hows it going? What do you guys do for religion?"

You forgot the most important point.
You are on my "Homeland". I was here before you, so now you have to leave. :skeleton:

[guyabano]

Unite and fight back, if you ask me

Fight back with what? Suicide bombers and other coward actions ? Man, grow up and get a life !

We all want peace on earth. There are other problems arising which are more important, like global warming.

[Camomilla]

this is interesting!

[north_malaysian]

The Martians.

I thought it's only me that love to mention "the martians" as an answer :okay:

If we unite I don't think we will need to do suicide bombings, suicide bombings are stupid if you ask me, it's much more efficient to bomb and stay alive to bomb another day, don't you think? I like more something like cutting oil supplies to consumer countries, see how they will pull through the winter.

Consumer countries like the US or Europe, go ahead cut the US's we get ours from venezuela, canada and mexico anyways, not only that but see how well the mideast "pulls through the winter" without that income

At the moment the majority of the imported oil for the US comes from Canada, Mid eastern oil purchases for the US are small.

Where do we get oil from?

I heat with gas ! :D .. and this comes from Russia or North Europe

and also, cars can be changed to LPG gas, so they can cut off the oil. They will just harm themselves. tell that to the Saudis to cut off the oil and tell them, they must exchange their ferrari against a bicycle. Oh, thats going to be fun !

ye I knew that
its just that with all the media talking trash
they send a contaminated message of the east or west.

anyone know about the enlightenment era. thats also trash
and this era links very well with the enlightenment cause both have got the authority telling people that they are doing things for the good of the people.
and thats really whats behind my question. is not the physical east or west but the invisible barrier.

hope you see.

The west and the east can fight fight fight. It only distracts us all from the nefarious plot of the far south, as the Antarcticans train their rabid suicide attack penguins to destroy us all. THE BEAK! OH NO! THE BEAK! RUUUN!

East vs. West just sounds better. Rolls off the tongue better than West vs. South or North vs. Northeast.
