12927746, Would alot of the Middle East violence stop if they could drink, Posted by Buddy_Gilapagos, Fri Nov-13-15 07:12 AM
smoke, get high and had strip clubs and sexual freedom?
Seems like a lot of frustrated dudes over there. Could you imagine how much more violent our hoods would be if there were no drugs and sex (without making a statement regarding whether that's a good thing or bad thing)?

I kind of think your second statement disproved the first (way too much violence in the U.S.A and we have all that).
I think violence has more to to with history, environment, economic inequality and injustice.

12927776, Let's not paint with a broad brush Posted by ConcreteCharlie, Fri Nov-13-15 08:58 AM
In Morocco, for example, you can get high as fuck and there are plenty of hookers.
I think those things in particular, especially alcohol, wouldn't alleviate much in and of themselves. But obviously the stronghold of religion and the individual suppression are challenging realities.

12927976, in some it's higher, in some it's lower. and generally ... Posted by ConcreteCharlie, Fri Nov-13-15 11:46 AM
drug use is a predictor of violence, in abundance they both are kinda negative signs of a society, no? i mean, i like drugs, but i'd be the first to admit that a lotta people can't handle them and most people can't handle a lotta them.

12928091, Try this: Moroccans will tell you they're African, not Middle Eastern Posted by PoppaGeorge, Fri Nov-13-15 01:22 PM
http://www.themiddleeastmagazine.com/wp-mideastmag-live/2014/12/moroccos-arabafrican-option/
“We are an African country,” says Said Ibrahimi, chief executive officer (CEO) of the Casablanca Finance City Authority. “We have ties with the Middle East but we are more African than Middle Eastern.”
“Apart from oil what do we buy from the Middle East? Not much,” says another senior business figure from Morocco. “We have ties of language and religion with the Middle East and we welcome Middle East investors to Morocco. However, from an economic point of view we are more integrated with Africa. Moroccan companies are very much involved in Africa, but they are not involved in the Middle East.”

12927876, Reminds me of Generation Kill dialogue Posted by veritas, Fri Nov-13-15 10:15 AM
Cpl. Ray Person: Look at this shit, how come we can't ever invade a cool country, like chicks in bikinis, you know, how come counties like that don't ever need Marines, I'll tell you why, it's lack of pussy that fucks countries up, lack of pussy is the root fucking cause of all global instability, if more hajis were getting quality pussy, there'd be no reason for us to come over and fuck em up like this, cause a nutbusting haji, is a happy haji. Sgt. Brad 'Iceman' Colbert: Ray, how much ripped fuel have you ingested. Cpl. Ray Person: I'm on it like a mother fucker Brad, haha!... Sgt. Brad 'Iceman' Colbert: Well, no more of that shit... Evan 'Scribe' Wright: An interesting theory though. Cpl. Ray Person: Yeah, yeah, you should quote me on it, you know what, you should definitely quote me on it, this whole thing comes down to pussy! Look, if you take the Republican Guard and comp their asses for a week in Vegas, no fucking war! Evan 'Scribe' Wright: So the war is not about oil or WMDs. Cpl. Ray Person: No, in the opinion of this Marine, its about pussy. Evan 'Scribe' Wright: And its not about Saddam. Cpl. Ray Person: No, Saddam is just part of the problem, if Saddam invested more in the pussy infrastructure of Iraq than he did in his fucking gay ass army, then this country would be no more fucked up than say, Mexico.

We forget euROPE had 100 years wars and most were between families and external factors were not at play.
Most of the Middle East issue stamp from external actors playing for financial games at the expense of human lives. Shyt is not anymore different from your reaction when someone take your stuff(rob your house) except millions of lives are at stake and billions are exchange for arms.

12928061, Not to mention WW2. Posted by denny, Fri Nov-13-15 01:04 PM
If we're gonna play the numbers game.....70 million people in 6 years. And that was 80 years ago. 17,500 deaths PER DAY for 6 YEARS. It's difficult to even wrap our heads around those numbers. BY FAR the greatest 'deaths per day' in the history of the world and it's not even close.
