    Honestly, I'm personally against violence and war as it's a modus operandi which always means collateral murdering, and who will paid the bill : innocent people and innocent civilians, ever.

     

    The present post is not intended to point the finger at just one faulty warmonger but to show that all parties are involved in it.

     

    - Collateral Murder a topical example, but warning : this video may hurt sensible persons.

    The only person to have anything in his hand was a reporter carrying a camera.

     

     

    - Allied war crimes during World War II - Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court.

     

    Bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

     

    The possibility that attacks like the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings could be considered war crimes is one of the reasons given by John R. Bolton (Undersecretary of State for Arms Control and International Security (2001–2005) and U.S. Permanent Representative to the United Nations (2005)) for the United States not agreeing to be bound by the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court. ~ Wiki

     

     

    - Malgré-nous.

     

    Malgré-nous.

     

    During the Second World War 130000 French people in Alsace Moselle were conscripted to fight for Germany. They were mainly sent to Russia and Poland. Those who were tempted to desert, saw their families being deported to labour camps or concentration camps. These soldiers were known as the "Malgré-Nous" (Despite us). 42500 of them did not return at the end of war... ~ Wiki

    Great work Keanumoreira and I'm eagerly waiting for what happens next :thumbsup:

     

    May I ask something : when the characters are talking together perhaps it could be clearer for the reader if the quotes from each of them are in one line instead of a new paragraph.

     

    Example :

     

    “I can’t wait that long!” I protested,

     

    “I have to go now, its urgent!”

     

    “Roscoe you have to rest, there’s no telling how severe your state is.”

     

    - “I can’t wait that long!” I protested, “I have to go now, its urgent!”

     

    - “Roscoe you have to rest, there’s no telling how severe your state is.”

    Neo-mania

    Everybody can buy a personality now, they get a "brand". If they can find out that them selfes, they can pay a therapist to get a proper brand, and buy the proper things :woot:

    I loved that Balagor! Lol :laugh:

     

    As a certified internet therapist I feel I should point out that neo-mania isn't really a part of our "modern times" in the sense that the modern popularization of internet social networks and YouTube and general internet activities is not very connected to hardware performance.

    I think it's not that easy as we could find a lot of other examples in your quoting days, like TV, cellular phones, cars... etc... and the subject is not limited to internet activities, of course.

     

    Seeing this on our everyday life ground, I would give just one example. Football world's cup is coming and also new 3D TV for watching the match game as you were there. It will cost you 1500 to 3000 euros for having such one piece. But besides you must pay for having some special glasses (50 to 150 euros). Good morning the bill... For that price you will be able to see the world's cup and nothing else because others 3D programs are not ready yet (the TNT is only set in HD... in France at least). Blue-ray drives aren't 3D compatible. You will need then to reequip yourself soon and trend your Blue-ray drive like you have throwned your HDVD drive two years ago! Buy, throw, for buying new and industry will run smoothly. With this business-model when you buy an high-tech product it is already outdated and his successor pushes behind.

     

    You may say it's only some material stuff of course but something strange appears then : something vexing for some people... no? Especially when your neighbouring is coming to taunt you : "Uh, you've buyed it, it's a shame, you'd better have to wait for, the new version will be released in three months." We also could stay calm and purchase the same devices at minus 30% of the cost after the world's cup when the sucker crowd passes by. :wink:

    Did you heard about neo-mania, depicted as a modern illness which consist in wanting to be a pioneer in all and always buying the last device model whatever the cost of it? The high-tech industry perfectly uses this snobbery because it's an incredible driving force behind selling. The technologies saled on the market today will be outdated in one year and the products obsolete. It's a business-model of all this industry.

     

    Do you think it's a real illness affecting our modern lives and to what extent are we concerned about it?
