I think he was more less talking about how there is more then HUNDREDS.... maybe. lol

[VorpalDoom]

fewer then in most of the history of man kind.... the world is at "relative peace" when you think about it. How many countries of the 250 are at war? how many of the 6.5+ billion people are in countries that are at war? not very many.

im glad to be alive in this generation... war is far different from what it as in vietnam and earlier... doesnt take a genius to tell you that.
