Sense of Justice in Zalanthas?

[Nao]

israel isn't bad, really..
some smaller areas in there might be harsh, but not as bad as you might think from the media, most of the stuff on the media at the moment isn't israel...
but concluding from the gaza-area to the whole country Israel would be like seeing the 'rinth and saying all Zalanthas is like that...

probably 95% of Israel are well-developed and not really poor, much like.. brazil, maybe, though this might not be the best example...
had to write a 12-page paper about kibbuzim two years ago and caught up a lot of stuff about israel in the process...

Well, good, then.

Yah, I think VENOMZ is off with the Israel analogy but dead-on with the African one.

Israel, perfectly located at the fulcrum of Europe, Asia and Africa, is a world-class destination for sophisticated travelers. Israel offers cultural attractions on a par with Europe, the U.S. and Canada, luxury hotels, glamorous spas and a hot restaurant scene - all within an atmosphere that combines the very ancient with the ultra high-tech, and the exotic with the contemporary. The tumultuous atmosphere a few specific hot spots, although focused upon by liberal media sources with ferocity, should not deter the open-minded from investigating the land of milk and honey.

Did you know that...

1.) Israel has more museums per capita than any country on earth Including the legendary Israel Museum in Jerusalem.

2.) In addition to world-class Israeli hotels and hotel-chains, almost every international hotel chain is represented in Israel.

3.) Two Israel hotels/restaurants are members of the prestigious Relais and Chateaux organization.

4.) France's legendary Gault-Millau food critics consider Israel one of the world's major food destinations, one of the only countries outside France on which it publishes a restaurant guide.

5.) Israel has a network of international-standard spa resorts in the Galilee, at the Dead Sea and at Eilat.

6.) Israel - a country no bigger than New Jersey or Prince Edward Island - has an international standard Opera Company (The New Israeli Opera) , four full-time symphony orchestras (including the Israel Philharmonic, founded in 1936), as well as dozens of theater, dance, chamber music and contemporary music companies

7.) The International Opera Festival in the Roman Theater at Caesarea is now an annual event held every June and July, and includes world-class performances by the New Israeli Opera. Visiting superstars at recent festivals have included Jessye Norman and Kiri Ti Kanawa.

8.) Israel's club scene - particularly in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem - is part of the Ibiza-Amsterdam-London scene, drawing DJ's and club fans from North America and Europe to all-night parties.

9.) Tel Aviv's November 2000 Love Parade brought a quarter-of-a-million people to the city's Mediterranean shore in an hours-long celebration of techno music, trance and amity. As many as 400,000 revelers participated in the 2001 Love Parade.

10.) 2000 was the best year ever for tourism to Israel, bringing almost 3 million tourists to the country from almost every country on earth.

The African analogy is good due to the horribly oppressive climate in certain areas, the extreme poor and notorious South African racism. This makes for a good microcosm of Zalanthas in that you have Slumlords running areas through brute force... Much like Allanak.. Racism.. A harsh desert wilderness in places... wandering nomadic tribes... etc, etc.

Obviously nothing exactly mirrors our Imaginary universe of Armageddon. But if anything comes close, it's Africa... Especially old Northern Africa with the broad deserts and wandering Arab tribes. Using bone-carved weapons(along with steel of course) and wearing sandcloth.

Anyway, that's my two 'sid. :shock:

I reckon people are still people.  There is still that bonding thing and group dynamics and "us" against "them".  So i think it is fine to feel protective about some people.  Unless the society has completely broken down and there is complete chaos and death and starvation out there. Which hasn't happened...yet.
