Because tension in the Middle East could very well escalate global nuclear war...did you really not realize that?

That seems like a pretty simplistic answer, would you care to elaborate?

Also, again, being a mod doesn't give you special powers or make you a genius

that's awfully stereotypical, given how people all over the world have the capacity to commit atrocities.

here's a list:

http://crunkish.com/top-ten-most-gruesome-murders/

the 1st: killed parents with 29 whacks of an axe. father's face was shredded to pieces and the left eye had been manually pulled out.

one of the more famous ones, number two on the list:

#2 Ed Gein’s House of Skin
Edward Gein

Edward Gein is without a doubt one of the most notorious American murderers in history. Although only two murders were proven against him, he has become legendary due to his strange necrophiliac behaviors. He dug up corpses, skinned his victims and created furniture and clothing from their bodies. Strange items found in his house include a collection of shrunken heads, a human skin-sheath, a box containing preserved vulvas that Gein wore, socks made of human skin, a belt of nipples, human skullcaps being used as soup bowls, lampshades and chair seats made from human skin and a mammary vest made from a woman’s torso.

drugs + illegal = increased violence

drugs + freedom to use = increased peace

Yeah thats all fine and dandy but he was talking about Mexican cartel violence .... so no its not stereotypical at all ... i grew up in the murder capitol so i know how killing works across the board

This shit is out of fucking control!

Why do you think our government hasn't taken a more central role in this madness? Changed policies? Looked at the evidence?

The corruption south of the border is unparalleled. Some of the drug lords who run the cartels are former federal agents, former police chiefs. They kill police (7% of total deaths), judges, politicians, even civilians without batting an eye. In ways exactly like AQ or Taliban members.

Even American citizens have been killed, I read a report recently about Los Zetas stopping some buses and executing people they suspected of being rival cartel members on the side of the road and burying them in makeshift shallow graves along the highway, one of them held American citizenship.

Why the hell are we in the middle east when shit like this is happening 90 miles south of Texas?

i ask this question all the time

OK, sir, I will elaborate.

Any war that involves a serious challange against Israel (that approaches victory against Israel) will turn nuclear, because Israel will dump their entire arsenal before going down. Then Russia would join, and the US will be forced to join, then China, India, and most probably Pakistan as well. Then maybe North Korea...

Regardless of whether or not my order of entry is correct, war in the Middle East could very well escalate into World War III, decided by who can cause the most mushroom clouds...which would guarantee no winners...except the few single-cell organisms that would survive and re-start evolution...

Attrocieties in Mexico are TERRIBLE, I agree, and should be STOPPED NOW...but the consequences there do not even approach those of global nuclear war...
