the.crooked Posted December 25, 2007 Share Posted December 25, 2007 That is the least of the interesting things about the WWE. Learn about the greek play and then go watch WWE again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rubbish heap two Posted December 25, 2007 Share Posted December 25, 2007 That is the least of the interesting things about the WWE. Learn about the greek play and then go watch WWE again. What specifically about greek plays? The tragedies or the comedies? Catharsis, Dionysian vs. Apollonian features or what? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the.crooked Posted December 26, 2007 Share Posted December 26, 2007 that book is amazing. he calls it his most arrogant. i think it is his best. remind me to go off in the general philo thread about the relationship of Godel's incompleteness theorems, situational irony, and the greek tragedy as discussed in Birth of Tragedy.

WorldBench Posted December 26, 2007 Share Posted December 26, 2007 how does broadcasting wwe in iraq piss you off. only people who can see it is US troops and it's for morale. spend 2 days over there and see how it is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juan Fuentes Posted December 26, 2007 Share Posted December 26, 2007 it's a psychological move. for the people here, to take Iraq as a land where the US achieved something, that by broadcasting wwe(world world eternally) shows the US has been successful there. to soften up the US soldiers to believe everything is ok. it's like a joke to the fallen ones, from each side, especially the 1+ million iraqis. imagine yourself being an iraqi man, in your 40s, your wife and 3 kids are dead because of the US troops, and you are missing a leg....now, you see in the TV how there's a show of fake fighting that is taking place in your country for the army that did that to you... it doesnt suck? there are millions of people on that situation.

Theo Huxtable. Posted December 26, 2007 Share Posted December 26, 2007 juan, violence has been dropping all over iraq. anyway, this isn't the first time they had the wwe in iraq. they had it in 2003 and 2004 and 2006, when violence was much higher. most of the iraqis that have lost their relatives due to al qaeda. that's why much of the iraqi populace has turned against them.

It also has to do with the fact that professional wrestling has been an american institution for many years. Or at least McMahon's professional wrestling.

Theo Huxtable. Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 do figures to support this statement exist? sorry, i didn't mean just "al qaeda", but muslims in general. that's including all other sunni insurgents, and shia death squads. most iraqi civilians have been killed by muslims (iraq & foreign), not US troops.
