@firefrostpeacemaker Tell that to the US, UK, and ISRAEL. The global terrorists keeping their nations from truly moving on. Apparently war is really fun for them. Along with stupid technologies that are still in use for the sake of keeping "jobs". There is no longer a need for any of this but apparently the powers that be can't realize this. Our politicians are truly some of the dumbest people in the world. No doubt about it.

@TheImperar i agree, and the spam is not necessary, we should think about creating a global utopia, where, we all get along, with no wars. and technology today, might be that answer.
