    How very true.

    Rather than them passing us, we are letting ourselves fail.
    I expect to see massive riots in the US in my lifetime as our government destroys the dollar trying to prop up a "progressive" state model that is doomed to failure. They will kill and eat the goose that laid the golden eggs.

    They're already doing that.

    You think we invented commerce and capitalism?

    Laugh if you want you. I assume you are younger than I am and will have to live with the consequences of living in a country with a has-been economy and a nannystate government.

    If you pay attention to whats going on in the world you would realize that China is using the export cash they have been sitting on and making a concerted effort to lock up the worlds supplies of basic commodities...a pending example is their current 39 BILLION offer to buy the largest potash (fertilize) company in the world (located in Canada).
    I am absolutely younger than you, however I never laughed about this. It was an observation. Graham and Buffett would be proud. If I laughed at anything in this thread (can't remember if I did or not). It would be that Christine O'Donnell learned through the CSN (Christian Spy Network) something that is just common knowledge (i.e. a country has their own best interests at heart not another country's best interests). I can read even a local news paper any day of the week and see proof of other countries acting in "not the US' interests". Yes they are big and scary, but maybe they end up being better at it than us and the whole world gets better, maybe not based on their history. I have to make my decisions based on what is presented to me, not on the mul udes of possible outcomes in the future.

    If I don't like the decline, I can move to somewhere like Germany, I already speak the language, and they seem to do capitalism pretty well while balanced with the offering of so called socialized services. I would much rather save the United States though, but I am really unclear on how to do it. We are at a point, it seems, where we will have a stalemate for a very long time. Prejudice against religion, gender, race, etc seem to have nothing on the vitriol which is spouted off by anyone claiming a different political party. With this being the case, nothing gets done.

    Maybe I am young, and this has happened to this degree before and we got through it ok, but it looks pretty bad now. I can't see a reversal of it because all that gets reported on the LameStream Media and FauxNews is anger and hatred. Even if the "middle" is the overwhelming majority, there are more people getting indoctrinated every single day either to the far left or the far right because they are ONLY exposed to this crap.

    I know I am ranting/rambling and I really dont know how to end because I keep coming up with things to say so...

    The End

    I would say that reports of America's death have been greatly exaggerated.

    What evidence does anybody have that the Chinese, with their national industrial/investment policies, are going to be derailed?

    What evidence does anybody have that the Americans, with their me-first/ -USA corps and capitalists, with no national policies except "Feed The MIC Monster and Let The Free Market Deliver the Always-Best Solution" are going to make any progress in any national area?

    Still better than the politicians running our economy and picking winners and losers based on the biggest bribes.

    TBH I agree with this, however, I think it could still happen, but my time horizon is a little further off than many. I can't come up with a way to reverse it and if it doesn't reverse then the failing will eventually happen, just not as soon as many think.

    you don't even know the difference between riot and revolt.

    you're a pissant militia wannabe from your "10 miles south of somerset", as if that is a solution.

    I like the underdogs at times. Still, it does appear her meaning is taken out of context. She's obviously a poor orator. Too bad that is usually the deciding factor of who wins and loses, but then... it is important to be able to clearly get your point across.
    While I can appreciate the sentiment you are trying to express here, in no sane or logical world can what she said make any ing sense or have any goddamn relevance to her campaign or anything to do with anything at all. She's talking out of her ass and there is no possibility she is doing anything different than talking out of her ass. She's taking a page out of Beck's book, make the public think you're privy to some kind of hidden truth, a critical secret, that makes the public feel like you're the only person they can get certain information out of and you're the only person willing to do something about it. I admit China is more than a phantom menace, but there ain't that can do about it. She wants to be an authority, but she's just a whack job that's better off giving blowjobs.

    "I may be broke but, I'm not flat busted"

    She's soooo hot, but if I remade that shirt for someone I'd make sure you correct the inappropriate use of an apostrophe.

    Oh funny. I didn't try to expunge anything other than clear space. If she is knowledgeable enough, or took it to someone who is, she can find anything she wants. I don't care, nothing to hide.

    You really have it in for me, don't you?

    Why don't we put on the gloves sometime, person to person, so I can beat the crap out of you? You keep making things here, personal. You need to be taught a lesson or two. In person, where you don't have the protection of the net, you slanderous piece of .

    Before or after you stalk her? Also, make sure to show her pictures of your bedroom too. Will make you irresistible.
