And he didn't say then we'd go into World War 3, he said "Which culminated in a very short World War 3 where Russia Nuked most major cities."
Which sounds a bit sarcastic, as it wouldn't be much of a war after missiles are launched. Just a slaughter.
Do I have to keep repeating what was ACTUALLY said until you actually read what you are talking about?

I think you would be better suited to asking me if I think that the stage is set for violence to erupt within the united states between citizens and government...
And my answer is yes... I feel it is inevitable at this point in the game. When it starts is unknown, but I know that there is so much hatred and division in the United States that this is NOT the place I grew up in, this is NOT the country I knew as a child or as a young adult.
There is suspicion and fear and distrust everywhere I look, and that only breeds anger and discontent.
You can define Civil War however you wish to define it, Syrinx.... according to what I see it began Tentatively in 2000 and was exacerbated in 2004.
It isn't about shooting guns yet, it isn't about killing people YET. It is about the anger and hatred that two factions which are neatly dividing the country have spawned. Either the pressure needs to be released and this hatred let go, or guns will be fired, people will be killed.
When? I'm not a psychic. I'm not from the future. I can't claim when. I can only claim what I observe.
And what I observe is your definition of Civil War is a literal one involving violence, for you there is no room for seething, creeping doom which stabs you in the back at night unawares and unprepared.
To me, Civil War means something beyond killing, though it eventually erupts into that regardless.
If nobody is killing anybody by Dec. 2008 or gearing up to do so, that's fine, Titor was a hoax... but that doesn't mean people won't start just because he was wrong.
