Is America Dying?
Their crime is out of control, they are being invaded and do nothing but argue. They are divided ideologically and are over extended with their military.
Are they a doomed nation?

Well, China is not a doomed nation. Apparently some in the party want to publize little reported and massively high death rates in coal mines. Same for massive death rates due to air and water pollution. Which is higher? Death from crimes in America's streets? Or dead Chinese miners due to criminal action by coal mine management? IOW China also is not a doomed nation if smarter Chinese will start exposing their problems so that problems can be solved. Then who is working for whom? One sign of a doomed nation: workers work for top management. One sign of a successful nation: top management instead works for the workers. Why does America currently have some serious problems? America's current top government leaders have a communist mentality. Cheney believes we all work for him and that he needs more power. Therefore America is in denial of some major and festering problems. |

OK, quick poll, who's going to try to take down TW first, China or the U.S.?
The Chinese are getting smarter, they have found a stealthy way to start using the proceeds of a massive trade imbalance to invest in the U.S.. They have 1.2 trillion in foreign reserves, most of it probably U.S. dollars. At any point in time, they could acquire a controlling stake in Blackstone, but they really don't want to. This is an absolutely fucking brilliant move. Not that we need to have a similar tactic, but I wonder if there is anyone left in our administration smart enough to have come up with something like this. Quote:

Ok, I made a mistake but I am not bashing other countries because I somehow falsely think I am superior. You are bashing the United States and by the statements you've made you obviously have no idea what it is like here.

People watch too much TV, crime goes down every year. Our violent crime has gone down over 20% in the last fifteen years, our life expectancy goes up every year, we just get better and better... 24 hour news is to blame. People want to see doom and gloom, so they deliver.
We are in great shape and getting better, except for the idiots running the nation right now, but we'll get rid of them soon & get out of Iraq, something we should never have done to begin with. |
