Say, PeaceCrusader, does your prophecy explain why the forthcoming London Olympics will not be held?
I mean, even in the profoundly unlikely event that the current dispute between China and the Philippines led to a Chinese invasion, what reason would there be for the entire Olympics to be abandoned? |

No Olympics? What a bummer. First the 2010 World Cup had to be cancelled when all the grass died and now this.

I don't remember ever talking to you, because I'm the true God and I can prove it. I went down to me local Gin Mill the other night and the minute I walked in the door the Bartender said, Holy God You Back Again!! So you must be listening to one of those False Guys your talking about.

Let's see. In 1944, the Olympic Games in London were cancelled because a world war that started five years previous was still going on.
Well, I would say that history certainly would repeat itself if a world war had started five years ago and was still going on. So, the question is, was there a world war that started five years ago that is still going on? I'll let you think about it. Take your time. |

I don't think I'll cancel my Olympic tickets and hotel booking.

PeaceCrusader, is it too much to ask you to quit screwing around with the default font?

What is the default font at this forum? Are people other than SezMe annoyed by the font that I use? The default font that I use is Calibri, size 11. I prepare my answer in MS Word, copy and paste it to the forum’s reply box. I am not aware that the font where it is prepared is retained. It is not similar to Facebook then. |

Yes, Puppycow, how do you know that China does not intend to invade the Philippines? One high ranking Chinese general has warned the Philippines of its “last chance”. Did you know that last week, the President of the Philippines, Benigno Aquino III, went to the UK and the US to seek their support to the country’s dispute in the South China Sea? Did the Philippine President get the assurance of support from the UK Prime Minister David Cameron and US President Barack Obama? Did you know that Manila or Metro Manila will be destroyed? Maybe worst than what happened to it in World War II. The Holy Spirit said that Manila will be erased from the map. I do not know if this is because of the rise of sea water level which will also affect other low-lying coastal cities and towns, or because of its destruction, may be by a nuclear bomb that it will become like the abandoned Chernobyl. |

The changed font and idiosyncratic datestamp on your posts look like an affectation and, yes, it's surprisingly annoying.
While I can't imagine why you feel the need to compose your posts in MS Word, you are of course entirely at liberty to do so. I'd only ask if you would please make the effort to discover how to paste them into the reply box as plain text. |

Yes, timhau, London hosted the Olympic Games in 1908. It will be good if the 2012 Olympic Games will be like that. But I think what is referred to is the one in 1944. There is Germany hosting 1936 Games. Then starting World War II three years later. Will China follow the same trend? Hosting the 2008 Games. Will China start WWIII? It seems that we have a preview of what is to come. I hope I am wrong. |
