Are we heading towards World War III?
How likely is the WWIII? I don’t know . But I know how will WWIII will be. You may remember that WWII ended with Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombing. I suggest one should read the destruction caused by atom bombs. Atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki - Wikipedia .Now I will explain some maths . Hiroshima atom bomb was 15 Kiloton and Nagasaki was 21 kiloton. Those small bombs killed million and effect is still visible. The biggest nuclear bomb tested by Russia was Tsar which was 50,000KT.50000/15=3333.33 times destructive than Hiroshima and 2381 times more powerful than Nagasaki. Now have a look on world stockpile -Russia-7000US-6800France-300China-260UK-215Pakistan-130India-120Isreal-80North Korea<15Total - 14920Lets do analysis of Russia only ,if out of 7000 only 10% are like Tsar Russia can impact destruction 2,33,3100 times more than Hiroshima. I guess total cities in world will be less than this number. So on a rough estimate only Russia can destroy whole world twice same is the case with US. If a common man like me can do this calculation people in govt administration can do a precise calculation and before starting WWIII all govt of the world will consider this .
How many liberals call Obama the Messiah?
It cracks me up because I only see the republicans doing that, the ones that supposedly don't like him. These are the same neocons that call themselves christian and yet they see "messiah" as an insult, unless of course they in fact like him and feel he deserves worship. They are the only ones calling him that after all. Either way on one hand I want to tell them "thank you" because they just continue sinking that party boat they are on rather then trying to fix what has become broken. To be honest though I'd rather they pull their heads out of their butts and reform their party. While I am as far from republican as I could ever be (thanks to the past 8 years) I do still feel that it is important to have republicans in DC. Any democracy needs party choices for checks and balances. I'm still independent though leaning more then ever towards democrat but still I hope for the sake of the republican party they get a grip soon.
What are songs whose meaning everybody got wrong?
Hallelujah- Leonard Cohen .( version includes the “offensive” verse)In the last 10 or 15 years this song has been covered by so many people, that they have stopped liscencing it. Heard everywhere from the Olympics to “xxx has talent” to a hymn, sung in churches worldwide. Released in the 1984 on the “ Various Position” LP it-remained virtually unknown to all but the most dedicated Cohen Worshipers for almost 20 years.Far from being “religious” or “spiritual “ at least in the classical sense, it’s all about Cohen’s favourite topic SEX! This time , almost a dirge to love, and sex, gone bad.“But now you never show that to me, do you?But remember when I moved in you,And the Holy Ghost was moving too,And every breath we drew was Hallelujah”He references numerous biblical figures throughout the song, mainly Bathsheva and Delilah who both betrayed their men!Bizarre Fact!Strange to find the YouTube video, the googled lyrics, and most cover versions have edited the above quoted verse out! In an age where profanity is considered de rigeur, that poetry would be censored !EDITNumerous comments and web pages claim there were 80 verses to this song. There are in fact 12 or 13 verses recorded ( Different opinions on which are in fact complete verses ) There are no recording or lyrics of the 67 or 68 “lost“ lyrics anywhere online.This may effect my “ Bizzare Fact “ , but the premise of the answer still stands. Cohen’s music is sexual and sensual , interwoven with biblical imagery!ADDENDUM.Many thanks for all the views and upvotes. Very unexpected but much appreciated!
