America's fucked.

Jealousy of those less fortunate.

They call it religion.

Bahahaha

Dameon, did you miss the link I put in my first post? If so, you might want to check that out and Epi's link. I never said yahoo was the best source, or decided that America was fucked just because of yahoo. News about the fed debt is popping up all over.

Sometimes I think if Bush would have invaded Iraq and said it was to remove saddam and get all their oil, more people would have supported it

I mean if you're going to defy the world and say the end justifies the means, you may as well go all out and just take over all those horrible dictatorships that have something worth taking.

It's too bad North Korea has nothing of value and all those terror regimes in Africa are dirt poor.

I hear Canada has lots of oil.

[Dameon Angell]

I think we shoulda had all our shit done in Afghanistan done first before moving into Iraq. History repeats itself, if we spread ourselves out too thin, we'll be easily taken over.

INVASION USA, but Chuck Norris will save you :up:

China is the new worldpower to come.

China a superpower: not any time soon.

Dameon, Yahoo was just posting what the CBO said. What the hell is with this blind acceptance of everything Bush does. Is it because so many people grew up being told they MUST be Republicans. Seriously do what's right for your country and the world. I don't really know if Kerry is bad, that isn't my point. Just don't vote Bush. holy fucking mother fuck.

It already is.
China has acknowledged nuclear weapon capability, a space program, has the world's largest population, is the largest communist country, and happens to own the world's most wealthy center of finance: Hong Kong.

What more do you want?

Well, in terms of military superpower, then yes, they are capable of that.

but China's environment and resources can barely sustain its current growth rates, not to mention future ones: water and energy shortages are chronic; desertification and deforestation abound; and the pollution is suffocating and all pervasive.

I'm pretty sure that most of the working and student class of China hates its government and wants to overthrow it

The Chinese growth rates simply cannot continue forever. Remember, it's easy to improve when your climbing up from the bottom of the barrel.

That doesn't mean they aren't a superpower right now; it just means that you don't think they'll be able to keep it up.

Actually I'd say that would be New York City...
