Not on the outside…which of course was all that mattered in those pre-CSI days. One has to admire the cleverness of the assassins, cringe-worthy as their methodology was.

Like Ken Lay’s wife complaining they’ve lost everything in their 10 million dollar house.
But, consider, the 10 percent richest people in this nation pay 70something percent of the taxes.

Oh, yes! of course! how could I have been so dull, we really do need to invade those countries that don’t conform to our standards. they don’t have democracy, invade them! they have a courupt but popular government, invade them! their government seems to prevent a higher standard of living, invade them! they don’t want to trade with us, invade them! where do you draw the line? please stop forcing your opinion upon me, especially with the amount of evidence you have to support yourself. your groundless arguments move me toward thinking you’re either ignorant or simply a hypocrit; but I must control myself and remember that I’m not the type to judge a great deal. sorry about this, i’ll tolerate your remarks from now on.

Hold on Bossk, I didn’t mean to sound like a zealot there. And I’m sorry if I offeneded you with my pro-democracy stance. But where do i come off as a hypocrit. Where did I say invasion. Take them over could have many meanings. Please read the whole thing before you slam me. Where did I put my thoughs on you??
I was just saying my thoughts outloud. Just like everyone else here. Just because I say stuff that you dont like doesn’t mean I should be censored. I could do without the name calling as well. Where have I called you a name??? If you really read the wholething with a open-mind it was obvesious I was telling my over all thoughts thats it. Nothing else. It’s Hypocritlical of people to enjoy liberty and freedom and not want it for others. It seems from the beginning I have struck a nerve with you. Sorry!!! For now I’ll stop with the Anti-European Union attaks of mine. -
Ummm, America isnt a democracy. We are a republic. In this day and age to have a true democracy is about as stupid as anything I can think of. Democracy is mob rule plain and simple. Europes days of being a power are done. I dont think that it is possible to have a europian union. They hate each other to much. Europe as a power ended after WWII. The next Super power? I personally think that it is Japan. There econamy is almost better then the US. But I dont think America will fall for a while.
-
But Japan neither has the population nor resources that define a superpower.
-
This is true. However, I do not see china or europe becoming the next super power
-
I can’t see Europe, but China? Hundreds of college Thesis’s have been about that subject.
If we were in a war against china, They would have nearly 6x times the size of our army. And remember, China is the only country besides us that can detect our Stealth Bombers.

True we a republic, but don’t split hairs guys you know what I meant. Okay then I support Republics that vote for thier leaders. Ill admit the two main parties for my country tend to get on my nerves, but living under a dictatorship would be worse!!!
-
For the person who said he or she didn’t believe China can become a superpower, have you actually been there within the past 5 years? Beijing, Shanghai, and Hong Kong are the three of the most modern, high rise cities in the world. Shanghai by itself has a population of 16 million compared with Los Angeles’ 3 million in the inner city. Best of all, crime and careless discarded waste are almost nonexsistent. Fueled by economic growth, population, and natural resources, China is shaping itself to be one of the most modern countries in the world.
-
I agree, China’s growth is increasing while the rest of the world is slowing down.
-
China is scaring the hell out of me… that’s why i think they are the wave of the future.
America should of acted stronger when they took our pilots. Symbolically, China became the world’s most powerful power.

What I see happening in the future is a relatively sudden and drastic drop in the human population for one reason or another. Probably in military conflict over land and food. I don’t understand why we almost never hear anything about the absolutely ludicrous rate of growth of the human population. Many of the problems we hear about on the news or read about in the paper are at least indirectly related to the sheer number of people on the planet. People don’t seem to realize that there’s only so much Earth to go around. We here about the spread of disease all the time, but it’s never mentioned that if the Earth weren’t so densly populated by humans it wouldn’t be so easy for disease to spread. Also polution wouldn’t be as bad as it is. Driving would be safer. Endangered animals would be less endangered. Starving people wouldn’t have to starve. Oh, kind of got carried away, sorry about that. Anyone have any thoughts on this?
-
the earth is larger han we think. look at all the empty space in america.
once the earth population hits 10 billion, we won’t be able to feed ourselves.
-
I have never been to china. I retract my statement. I like and respect bush, but I dont think he acted all to well when they had our pilots. Also, the worlds population, especially Africa, is about to take a large drastic drop to to the HIV virus. The thing has a hundred percent death rate. I dont think our population will reach 10 billion or if it does, it wont stay their before long, due to HIV and war.
