Moderated Will the 2012 Olympic Games in London be held?

[Elizabeth I]

I'm with the Pharaoh on this one. That's what we used to recite when I was a kid.

I assume some of us must have learnt the special Colonial Edition of the rhyme, but the main thing is that we're finally discussing something far more important than the claptrap that PeaceCrusader keeps cluttering the place up with.

This old man, he played One, he played knick-knack on my thumb...

OK, I'll give you "Three, four, knock at the door" (even if it doesn't scan as well as "shut the door"), but my copy of The Real Mother Goose said, "Seven, eight, lay them straight." I certainly hope you are not going to argue with Blanche Fisher Wright.

...and, as usual, the Pharaoh is correct about our finally having struck on a topic of some importance to the world.

No argument, Majesty. It's been thousands of years since I learnt the rhyme and I dare say I've mucked it up.

I got nothing...oh wait! What if the Chinese invade England during the Olympics? If we are talking ridiculous and impossible military adventures, my money is on this.

Sorry, we don't have room in the country for 200,000,000 Chinese soldiers as well as everybody who is coming for the Olympics - the country would be so crowded people will fall off the edge. And there is a big drop over those White Cliffs of Dover.

Maybe, we have to get the original prophecy and try to translate it to English with the help of some Chinese.

Or, maybe -- just maybe -- all prophecy is just plain baloney.

In the cartoon drawing of the 56th prophecy, the two men spew or issue out fire from the mouths. That may mean missiles being fired to the other. It will cause the death of a third part of men. Most of these men who will be killed are workers in the cities and military installations.

So... why can't it just be two guys spitting fire out of their mouths? Is that so impossible that it has to be China launching missiles? Seems like a stretch when a quick google image search reveals this:

Prophet failing to interpret the modern Holy Ghost. Missed the obvious, since prophet is outdated.

The Chinese will invade shouting

FUS RO DAH!!!

While those 200,000,000 million soldiers are out gallivanting in the PI, I am so going to China to score their women!

Well, half of that 200,000,000 are females, so they may all be in the invasion force. Check the video. You might want to get to the beach in Labuan to greet the invading forces.



Mmmm, goose-stepping females in mini skirts with automatic weapons. Maybe they could invade us here in Thailand?

Could you please state here what you will do if World War III erupts before the 2012 Olympic Games begins on 07-27? Will you accept the prophecy of the Holy Spirit? I hope you are one of the one-third who will survive.

Remember, it will happen on a Wednesday, between ten and 21 days from now. It may be Wednesday in China and the Philippines but only Tuesday in the US. Or it may be Wednesday in the US but already Thursday in China and the Philippines.

You know PeaceCrusader, no matter how many times you say that it will not make it true. As a matter of fact you sound like a broken record.

PeaceCrusader, will you state here that if the London Olympics do happen as scheduled you will come back to this thread and renounce your so-called Holy Spirit as a false prophet?

Please say yes or no, and if your answer is no, explain your reasons.

You want to know why China will surprise attack the US? Simply because the United States is hindering China’s claim to the oil and gas rich Spratly Islands, and Scarborough Shoal on the South China Sea. The Philippines is one of the claimants of the Spratly Islands. The others are China, Vietnam, Taiwan, Brunei, and Malaysia. The Scarborough Shoal is owned by the Philippines but China claims it as its own. China says that the whole South China Sea is theirs. And China would like to occupy the said islands.

There is a Mutual Defense Treaty between the US and the Philippines signed in 1951. An attack on one is an attack on the other. So the US has to move out of the way, that is why China has to attack it. Has China defeated the US already in the Vietnam War and in the Korean War?

So in order to avoid war trough a mutual defense treaty, they directly attack the US so it won't even have a chance to decide not to go to war?
Remember the US military is spread out at the moment and I doubt most US citizens will really care what happens to the philipines one way or the other.
A power grab for some little islands somewhere beyong us-istan will trigger diplomatic attempts for at least a few months. Attacking the US directly will trigger several nukes.

And in answer to your last questions no and no. China was barely involved in the vietnam war at all and the korean war was a standoff.

Also you still havent explained how china is going to magically transport an army that would be effective against the US military on its home soil.

Lets face it, your scenario requires active magic to even stand a chance of working.

He already did exactly that:

If World War III does not start before the 2012 Olympic Games in London, then I will say that He is a false god.

Since we are asked to believe the news of these forthcoming events was delivered by magic, it presumably doesn't seem such a leap to expect us to believe the events themselves will also involve magic.

Have we concluded that this is a mental prediction yet? I don't do subtle...

Hmmm, but if his god is going to go teleport the chinese army, wouldnt that kinda suggest god is chinese? And thus that opposing the chinese taking the world is blasphemy?

Absolutely bonkers. Also useless, as there doesn't appear to be anything we can do to prevent our impending doom. Unless of course there's anyone here who's worshipping a golden calf. If there is, I strongly recommend you stop that **** right now.

My money is on excuse 1) We prayed really hard and God changed his mind.
