    I'm getting outa here.

    I'm outta here.

    Is there still fighint going on in Angola?  Joseph Savimbi and UNITA
    recently announced they would cease hostilities and form an opposition 
    party.  
    
    Is Morocco still fighting over parts of the Sahara?
    
    

    isn't there stuff going on in Uganda, Sri Lanka, Turkey, and India?

Sudan
E. Timor
Algeria

    Eastern Turkey (Kurds)
    Southern Iraq (Sunni Moslem)
    Afganistan (between the victorious rebel groups)
    
     
    

    as long as there is a world as we know it today, there will always be
    war

    I was thinking about this more just recently because of the reports of
    fighting along the Peru/Ecuador border.  I was tryong to count how many
    hot spots there were and it dawned on me that there are a lot of really
    p.o.'d people in the world.  I know history is riddled with armed
    conflict, I just was wondering who is shooting at who(m?) these days.

    Peru also still has the Shining Path guerilla operation going on, as
    well as the border skirmish.  
    
    Columbia has several small turf wars going on, as well as a peasant
    revolt over the US war on some drugs.
    
    There is an indiginous people of the rain forest vs miner war in
    Brazil, as well as the war on street children in Rio.  
    
    In the US we have a war on poor people.

    
    Laos
    
    Cambodia

    >Peru also still has the Shining Path guerilla operation going on,
    
    well, not much, actually.  Their guru (Guzman, ex-college prof) was 
    captured about 2 years ago, and the army has since driven them pretty
    much out of sight, per most news reports.  One news report even
    speculated that with Shining Path defeated, the army may be responsible
    for these border problems with Ecuador, to justify their continued high
    defense expenditures.

    Paulllll Harrrrrveyyyyy reported this morning that the South
    American war is over... both sides simply declared victory and
    went home.  He thought all wars should end this way.
    
    Assuming that this is the same South American war that's being
    discussed in here, of course.

       Can any of us envision "world peace"? Will there ever come a time
       when ther's no more starvation, war, hatred or disease? Or is this
       concept science fiction?

       Sure, most of us envision world peace but having never experienced
    such a thing its only a fantasy.  How would you think that world peace
    might affect you anyway?
    
    There will never come a time on this planet when such things desist.
    
    The concept is based upon desire, nothing more or less.
    
    Christianity promises that such an era will exist in the future.  Not
    only that but God Himself will dwell in the midst of the elect.  Its
    beyond sublime to contemplate.

    In the trench warfare of Digital against our competors! :)

Or, DIGITAL against its employees . . . 

    re .19
    
    Given enough time and/or resources anything is possible.

    .19 Or perhaps if they can manufacture enough Prozac to put into all
    the water supplies.

    Or perhaps the earth needs a Prozac layer?

    one could turn it on its head - if you say there are about 3,000,000
    people living in war zones today, that means there are about 
    4,997,000,000 people living at peace
    
    thats pretty encouraging

    I remember reading somewhere that the perfect war would be with
    German troops,led by British officers,with American supplies----
    and the Italians to fight against!!
     I dare say there will be some disagreement!
    

    
    perfect wars are the ones never fought.

    And then there was the legendary war between two Germanic tribes, whose
    names escape me at the moment.
    
    After years of little fights and raids they decided to meet for a big,
    decisive battle. 
    Actually, neither side showed up, because they were too much afraid of
    getting beaten up by their opponents.

	Glad war hasn't taken that away from him.

    Mother nature didn't give it to him though.....

    What do you two little kids do, follow each other around
    every note?

    I don't know, I'd say you're following me around and trying to frighten
    me with your prostrate gland.

    A joke is only funny once. Any chance you can come up with a new

    Thanks little buddy.

    Do you ignore everything I say ? Errrrr, that was like a bit of
    a silly thing to say, I guess the answer is pretty obvious.

    Who are you talking to Martin?

    YOU, Mr.Little buddy personage !:*)
