A bunch of smaller armed conflicts going on around the world is just a tad different than say, Russia and China going at it, wouldn't you say?
That type of large-scale conflict will probably never happen again in our lifetimes, due to globalization.

WHAT THE FUCK DOES ALL THIS SHIT HAVE TO DO WITH MY BITCOIN BIZ PLAN?!??
I swear to jeebus I'm going to start a new bitcoin thread if you guys don't put a lid on this...

Yeah, I agree, globalization = no more wars or death.
Africa doesn't count.
Everyone knows that the two important things in a genocide are: White people dying + First world people dying
Bosnia and Armenia are not first world and therefore only count as half a genocide each.
Sorry dude, it was just too much of an awesome business plan.
I mean, I've always dreamed of experiencing first hand compulsory living in a 8x10 cell with a guy named bubba.
Absolutely, but I (almost) never settle for it if there is an alternative.
It's not debased. It's implicitly not accurate. I know that going in. You might be surprised to know that there are many times I reject ANY additional information, as part of what I have called an "information diet" or "getting dumber".
If you understand the Turkey problem, you understand the issue with history. That's all I can say.
I wasn't making an argument. Perhaps we have a misunderstanding.
Correction, how YOU perceive me to communicate on this forum. If you asked Jake if I post with hubris, he would probably disagree with you.

Even that was a good 40 years ago, but you are right there, and that type of shit probably still currently goes on daily in Africa. Not probably, it does.
I've been to the killing fields, plus the landmine museums out there. Did you know Canada is one of the biggest supporters / proponents of cleaning up old landmines in Cambodia? I didn't either until I was there, but I was happy to find out about it. Go to the landmine museum in Siem Reap, and there's a big Canadian flag right beside the Cambodian flag, and a huge sign explaining Canada's role.
I've even walked through a couple camps at Auschwitz. Used to live in Budapest, so we went up to Krakow one time, and toured it. Know the famous shot of the rail tracks going through the archway? I've seen that live. Now Auschwitz is a weird place to visit, and definitely makes you pause for reflection.
I've even seen the tunnels the Viet Cong went through, and seen Ho Chi Ming himself all nicely embalmed.
I've also been through the "House of Terror" on Andrassy blvd in Budapest, where both Hitler and Stalin setup HQ in Hungary, and torture chambers in the basement.
But that's my point. Due to globalization, things like that are less likely to happen, because it'd be like shooting yourself in the foot. Germany isn't invading Poland, the US isn't going to drop nukes on Japan, the cold war isn't going to start over, etc. It'd be detrimental for the aggressors in those situations to do that again.
