BUT EVEN A VERY SMALL NUMBER CAN CAUSE INCREDIBLE HORROR. THE FIRST WORLD WAR 'ONLY' LASTED 4 YEARS. BUT IN THESE FOUR YEARS, 10,000,000 (TEN MILLION!) DEATHS WERE CAUSED. THERE WERE 19 MILLION INJURED PEOPLE. THIS UNNECESSARY 'GAME' COST A TOTAL OF ABOUT 340 BILLION U. S. DOLLARS (CA. 1.43 TRILLION GERMAN MARKS). THAT IS ENOUGH MONEY TO BUILD 100 MILLION HOUSES! THE SECOND WORLD WAR TOOK 5 YEARS. IT WAS ONLY ONE YEAR LONGER, BUT IT CAUSED 5.5 TIMES AS MANY DEATHS. THERE WERE 30 MILLION WOUNDED PEOPLE. 21.24 MILLION PEOPLE LOST THEIR HOMES. 49.80 MILLION BUILDINGS WERE DESTROYED. THE WHOLE WAR COST AN ESTIMATED 2,500,000,000,000 U.S. DOLLARS. YOU COULD HAVE BUILT 800 MILLION HOUSES WITH THAT MONEY. MANY PEOPLE MIGHT THINK THAT THEN, AFTER THE SECOND WORLD WAR, ALL WARS WOULD HAVE ENDED. WRONG! SINCE 1945 THERE HAVE BEEN A TOTAL OF 120 WARS WITH 30 MILLION KILLED. FROM 1965 TO 1972, BY WARS ALONE, 2.2 MILLION DEATHS WERE CAUSED. 1 MILLION PEOPLE WERE SERIOUSLY WOUNDED. 150 BILLION DOLLARS WERE SPENT ON WARS IN THAT PERIOD OF TIME. IN THIS TIME, 7.5 MILLION TONS OF BOMBS WERE DROPPED. 26 MILLION CRATERS WERE CAUSED, MAKING ANY KIND OF AGRICULTURAL WORK IN THOSE AREAS IMPOSSIBLE. WAR HAS BEEN IN THIS WORLD EVER SINCE CAIN AND ABEL. ALTHOUGH WAR'S FACE HAS OFTEN CHANGED, ITS TRUE MEANING HAS REMAINED. AFTER THAT FIRST 'WAR' CAME THE TRIBAL WARS. FOR EXAMPLE, THE ISREALITES FOUGHT AGAINST THE PHILISTINES. IT NEVER STOPPED. IT EVEN CONTINUED THROUGH THE WORLD WARS. AS YOU CAN EASILY SEE, WARS HAVE FOLLOWED MANKIND ALL THROUGH HISTORY. THERE WERE CIVIL WARS, RELIGIOUS WARS, ECONOMICAL WARS, AND COLONIAL WARS. EVEN AS YOU READ THIS, THERE ARE WARS BEING PLANNED AND PEOPLE BEING KILLED. HATRED, JEALOUSY, DESIRE FOR TERRITORY, GREED - WAR CAN HAVE MANY CAUSES. EACH OF THESE HAS BEEN CALLED: 'THE WAR TO END ALL WARS'. BUT DO THE WARS EVER END? DOES MAN EVER LEARN FROM HIS MISTAKES? - NOT SO LONG AGO THERE WAS A REPORT ABOUT THE BROWN SOFTWARE ON T. V. . IN THIS REPORT DIFFERENT PROGRAMS WERE SHOWN. AMONG OTHERS ONE CALLED HITLER DICTATOR AND ONE CALLED ANTI-TUERKEN-TEST. IN GAMES LIKE THESE NEO-NAZIS AND OUTSIDERS OF THE SCENE SHOW WHAT THEY THINK. UNFOTUNATELY THESE PROGRAMS REACHED THE MEDIA CAUSING A TERRIBLE MISUNDERSTANDING. THE REPORT SHOWED THESE THINGS AND JUST LEFT IT LIKE THAT. NOBODY EVER SAID ANYTHING ABOUT THE REST OF US COMPUTER-USERS! FROM WHAT THE AUDIENCE SAW THEY MIGHT NOW THINK THAT ALL OF US USERS ARE NEO-NAZIS AGAINST FOREIGNERS BRUTAL AND ALTOGETHER BAD. WE MUST ADMIT THAT A SMALL PERCENTAGE ACTUALLY IS THAT KIND OF PERSON. THESE PEOPLE ARE OUTSIDERS IN THE SCENE. BUT THE REST OF US FREAKS ARE JUST FRIENDLY USERS! OFCOURSE IT IS REGRETABLE THAT THESE FEW PEOPLE DO EXIST AND KEEP SPREADING UNFRIENDLY DEMOS ETC. BUT WE CAN NOT CHANGE THAT FACT. THE NICE PERCENTAGE OF THE USERS DECIDED TO SHOW THE REST OF THE WORLD THAT OUR BELOVED SCENE IS NOT WE REPEAT NOT A NEO-FASCHISTIC PILE OF PIMPLE-FACED YOUTHS! IN REALITY A LARGE NUMBER OF US HAVE MANY FRIENDS. JUST CHECK OUT THE FRIENDSHIPS AMONG THE USERS! THEY ARE REALLY INTERNATIONAL! ALTHOUGH FROM TIME TO TIME SMALLER FIGHTS OR EVEN SO-CALLED GROUP-WARS OCCUR GENERALLY THEY ALL LIKE EACH OTHER. LOOK AT THE HUGE GROUPS LIKE AMOK! GIGANTIC GROUPS MADE JUST FOR USERS TO HELP EACH OTHER! THERE ARE HUNDREDS ALMOST THOUSANDS OF GROUPS ALL AROUND THE WORLD AND THEY ALL HAVE FRIENDS EVERYWHERE! INTERNATIONAL FRIENDSHIPS ARE BUILT UP WITH THE COMPUTER-MAGS. HUGE FEDERATIONS ARE CREATED AND GROUPS MERGE WITH EACH OTHER TO MAKE SO-CALLED CO-OPERATIONS! ALL IN ALL THE SCENE IS NOTHING BUT A HUGE NUMBER OF FRIENDSHIPS COMING TOGETHER WITH THE GOAL OF PEACE. NOBODY THAT IS REALLY IN THE SCENE LIKES OR EVEN PROVOKES WARS OR AGGRESSIONS! THESE PEOPLE ARE NOT NEEDED OR EVEN ACCEPTED IN THE SCENE! SO WE DECIDED TO FIGHT BACK AND SHOW THE PUBLIC EYE WHAT WE COMPUTER-FREAKS ARE REALLY LIKE! WE DO NOT JUST SIT IN FRONT OF THE COMPUTER ALL DAY CRACK GAMES HACK INTO THE NASA-COMPUTER AND BEAT UP FOREIGNERS! WE ARE PEACEFULL! SO PLEASE DO NOT THINK THAT ALL USERS ARE LIKE THESE OUTSIDERS. WE WANT PEACE HAPPINESS ..JUST CHECK OUT THE COMPUTER-PARTIES!.. FUN AND FAIR PLAY. THAT IS ALL. WITH THIS WE JUST WANTED TO SHOW YOU OUR OPINION AND LET YOU KNOW. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION. - T4O/ T4H(E% A!N.T4I) W7A!R2 C#O/ O/P0 - S3P0A!C#E% S3T4O/P0S3 U5P0S3C#R2O/L, -
