I have no idea what happend with my last post. It's IE6. So...here's the correct version.
Is that your own baseless assumption or do you have evidence for that?
K. Some could argue that it is already happening BECAUSE we police the world.
Main land? Wah?
Population - Correct.
Econmy - No. Both the US and Japan are larger economies. The US is 3.5 times as large as China's.
Source for that? Has a high ranking government official from Russia said as much or even implied that?
By your logic, Canada would try really hard to protect their land, too. Because it's huge.
Yeah, cause the US can't stay out of a World War for a few years. Wait, they can and did. Sure, they declared war, but not for a few years, and it was after Japan attacked.
My point about the "main land" is Europe, Asia , and Africa are all connected , with several countries that always seem pissed at some one for some thing
Germany needed a foothold in WW2 so Hitler ( I think)broke pact with the USSR and tried to take it over, if it starts in Europe someones probably going to break for Russia .
With the tech we have today its going to spread on a larger scale than the previous world wars I'm guessing it will travel to the Americas once it gets started
I wont argue about China's economy cause I was just saying what i thought was true.
It being hard to stay out of their way is just that, with everyone dragging in every one else in every war it will be ,each WW is (Im pretty sure)bigger than its predecessor
Sorry my posts are mostly speculation and opinion
I dont really look the info up because I dont take this stuff that seriously

That's a baseless and very counter-intutive assumption. Russia would be the last place anyone would dare attack because they are a former shell of a superpower that doesn't have any qualms about flexing their military might.
Again, baseless and counter-intuitive. It is far more likely that no world wars will even start than a world war that starts AND makes its ways to American soil.
There's no need to argue to begin with. You were factually incorrect. Hey, I get facts wrong from time to time, as well. No worries, dude.
K.
But, in order to have a conversation about this stuff, there has to be some facts or logic behind them. If not, it's just like randomly shouting things that don't make sense....like that guy from Anchorman.

What's the reasoning behind that? If a world war did start it would be able to reach American soil in a matter of minutes, the thing that kept it out of the previous ones was being largely out of range.
I'd like to direct you towards 83% of posts around here.

Robtard, do you see what I mean now with my number theory? It's usually prime if the person isn't exactly sure. If they have a good idea, it's usually rounded up or down, depending on how it helps their comment. (This applies to the real world in real conversation, as well.)

Well even numbers don't seem random. Numbers ending in 5 don't seem random. You're left with numbers that end in 1, 3, 7 or 9 which contains a lot of primes.

Exactly.
My psychological theory behind this: It makes the numbers seem more arbitrary OR if the point is to make the number believable, it makes the number seem more believable if it doesn't fall on a nicely rounded number such as 8 minutes, or 25 minutes.
My theory should move beyond the theoretical phase and actually progress to the lab setup phase. I have the hypothesis, already. I just need to setup a test that adequately tests as true as possible to someone feeling comfortable and conveying numbers as "naturally" to their regular conversations as possible.
I wouldn't even have to actually know the original numbers to which they refer to. I'd just have to pool the data and come up with a weighted system against primes and non-primes. Then calculate the weights of say, numbers than end in 0's and 5's, and numbers that end in ever numbers excluding 0's.
Splendid China was shut down, so people wouldn't "be unfaithful to their country," the performers. That struck a nerve, in me.
I found out later China was the oldest white culture, and Japan is the major Oriental culture. China seems to have just copied them. I've heard of people who've migrated out hundreds of years ago, to Indonesia, Turkey, or wherever and took on it.
