SirWonkus says:

so the united states of america's clock is ticking. if we don't have some wort of really good president soon i think ill country will collapse. after being forced into the position world leader from the winning from both world wars we have stayed there. other countries don't like us because we have spent so long upfront. our companies have all their factories else where? whats that mean? means that if thoes workers wise up and take the factories now their countries can start being rich and we will no longer have much industry. all are farmers are bacnkrupt even thought we feed the world something is definately wrong there. i don't know about you guys but i seriously belive that if the USA keeps doing whats its doing its gonna collapse or at least lose all its power. and its not just thi swar with irac we are definately going to have its how everything we do seem to come back and get us (i.e. osama). i don't know i just think that living in america will be alot different for my generation then past ones.


what do you think about where the U.S. is heading?

we're still among the richest people in the world - even the lowest poverty in america is better than most countries. I'm not complaining - we're going to last as a country because others depend on us too. It is in many countries best interest to keep us around, like china. I'm just happy to be here =)

The US will never crumble. You say Bush is a bad president? Do you suggest we keep Saddam in power until he's got enough power to start a chemical war? If you have any way of removing him from power besides force, please by all means, tell the world, because nobody else does.

and hahamaster: that's the most generalized, closed-minded thing i've heard in a long time.

You make a good point Sovereignty, but everyone these days is all war war war. What about stuff on the home front? Stuff that would normally be in the news is pushed out by Iraq. Perhaps one of Bush's motives for war was to distract us from the problems at home...

what a dumb thread. No the US is not gonna fall. No it's clock is not ticking. We are thiking about fighting back after we were attacked and we get all the BS thrown our way. I guess most people like terrorism and think it's OK. But think if this happened to another country. That country would want to retaliate too. At least the US is trying to fight terrorism unlike some of the countries that stay out of world affairs and do nothing to better this world.

Anetalaya says:

ok, now; in response to you post SirWonkus, I don't think US will collapse, is still a powerful country, and it will continue that way, not because it wins war, but because is economically independet.

It would be good if every country had their own industries, but, I don't think that is going to happen, because some of the biggest In English:
companies in the world are TOO big and they will continue that way. And the good news for you is, those companies are from US.

Maybe US will no longer The Most powerful country, but it will definitively be between the first ones.

But if you ask me, yes, it would be good if us starts worring more about the intern problems and not the exterior problems. Good for their own health and the rest of the world's; because every time something happens to any country, they look to dad US to see what they say, and that just can't be anymore.

The terrorist attack on 9/11 was like NOTHING ever done before. Never have terrorists made such an impact, so dont go around saying "oh wah other countries have terrorists too." Whatever, I've seen the same freakin posts made by the same people in this thread just like every other "no war" thread. Get over it, its gonna happen whether you like it or not, and in the long run its for the best. Its such a pity that people see the United States as a bully when no country would be were they are without us. I honestly hope that you all see you're ignorance, but I dont think it will happen without more innocent american lives being lost. (This does not include American Soilders, I've said it before and I'll say it again. If you are soilder, its your god damn job to go where the gov't tells you to go.)

allot of good and not so good points here... i dont feel like puting forth a diatribe on my feeling about this issue...

lets just put it this way.... most countries, i say most becuase countries like england, france and the like have all prosperd since the second world war... for one reason... they worked at it... and they all worked very hard to build their "ideal society"... ive been all around the world... and in most places have encountered much resentment / haterid (yea i know i blew that spelling =P) for being an 'american'... most of the time it changes when i say im from hawaii...

i do agree with ane... the us will not collaps... not becuase we're a 'powerful country'... but because we are too stubborn to quit... we will not roll over and let someone else dictate their way of life on us... not when we've spent so many years getting to this point

boogie - - you are right we do need to dedicate more time to issues that are here at home..

hahamaster - - we are not all athists... we are not all retarded.. and we do not all smoke crack... there is a big effort to correct the last one.. and if we, like other countries were to just sweep the problem under the carpet and hope for it to go away.. would that make us any better??

take it easy there... i think that it was a referance to the sept 11th deal specificly... not on such broad terms... but i do agree we should be quite mindfull of the terrorist activities that happen elsewhere and be thankful that it isnt so bad here (yay law enforcement** see comment to hash)... and as for me.. you dont have to ever think that i've forgotten, or will forget... i have daily reminders of a car bombing...

colossus :: if we go to war our (hawaii's) economy will hurt far more than most other places... so (to all custo's)... please if the us does go to war (full blowen war.. not a desert storm thing)... please come to hawaii for a visit and help us out :-)

it is not their jobs to go where the gov't tells them to.. thats just a part of it... it is their job to keep us (the nation) safe... just as it is the job of law enforcement to make sure we can sleep at night with out fear of home invastion... or walk down the street with out fear of mugging, rape, or being murderd.... if you think they arnt doing a good job.. try it sometime.. you will see what they have to deal with on so many more levels that you can think of... by they i mean both the millitary and law enforcement... just a quick stat here for every 1 cop (local and fedreal) in the u.s. is about 1000 criminals... the number is probly higher than that but whos really counting... and you have to give props to the officers in places like england where they have had to deal with the IRA (just an example) bombings for years now...

i do agree that this subject is getting kinda played out though (hash[/U]) but i do think that its good that peeps get it out... im not one for political threads.... but if they wanna vent let them... no need to be so harsh... for some this may be the only venue of reliefe....

I hate how most people hate the United States right now because they're going along with the ignorant bandwagon. While it's true many have come to an anti-US opinion by reasoning it out, most just say, "I hate Bush - I don't like war, so the US sucks." And yes, Anetalaya makes an excellent point about the US economy - it's simply too big and important in the global scheme to suddenly disappear.

@hash: So what if 9/11 was bigger than any other attack? It was only one attack. The countries people are referring to have suffered attacks for years, and even decades in some cases. Take that into consideration before you try that "we deserve more sympathy than you" angle again.

i have something for you to ponder.
Would we even be in this mess if people now-a-days (government state local,schools, etc.) used half a brain on what they are doing. I know for sure the secritary of state spends thousands apon thousands of dollars on pointless stuff that they over paid on. For example, those who are over 320 lbs that work at a branch made their union and doctors sign notes for them to get special chairs so they dont hurt themselves while sitting. each costing somewhere around 2000 dollars.
About the issue with others like Iraq and the middle East, if we would have just left them alone (not telling them what to do and enforcing it) would we even be preparing for war. I think not because they would have no reason to hate the US.

Besides, I'm kinda sensitive today with all the things going on today on my country....

And last, but no less, I do hate Bush, I do hate war, but I do NOT hate US because of that, that would be stupid. I just wanted everybody to know that, because if I say something bad about US is about the govermments action, not the people.

Has Ghandi said: "violence is the argument of those who have no reason"

hash, you will have to start listening to the news more carefully, because last time I checked, I wasn't living on a democracy, the president of my country was elected, but he turned into a tyrant. Or are you going to tell that if a president who signs a agreement of nonviolence and understanding and 2 days later imprission to one of the leaders the opposition is a democrat?

And in Argentina, a year ago, after two days of hard manifestation on the street, the president resigned.

This thread was doing pretty well until somebody started insulting. if you got tired of it, don't read it anymore. And most of the times, when a group of people is talking about this kind of things, nobody agrees with anyone, but just because of that you are going to stop talking? Where is the fun then? And if you wheren't able to handle yourself and don't take things so personal, you shouldn't had open your mouth in the first place.

@ Max: I missunderstood (?) you and you missunderstood me... your "you win" sounded funny for me, cause is like my "yeah, yeah, yeah", wich I always use it when I'm tired to hear someone, because I know we are never going to agree. No hard feelings, and is not my intention to fight with you, as I said before, I love to argue (in a good way) with you, cause you are intelligent and you always cam up with something interesting to say.
