How much longer will the US be #1?

[nwshc]

In my opinion the US cant stay #1 forever.

The next i think will be #1 is England or all of Europe (i know Europe isnt a country so dont even start with that).

Europeans are buying all of Americas companys. America is also so dependent on other countries. Oil for example. We spend so much money on giving other people or money or it when we are perfectly capable of producing all of it ourselves.

Lots of other things too. What is everyone elses views?

i dont mean to be like rude or ne thing, but not the UK...

I believe china will... they have technology 10 years ahead of us... You know the in car monitors America just started making, china had thouse in cabs 10 years ago back in 1995. If they have technology right now that america will have in 2015, they are pritty amazing.

yea I agree, not to mention population

[Anonymous]

id say us has the power for a good while. no other country has really wanted the role of world power.

[<-Dying_to_Live->]

the ecomy of the us is top notch, unsurpassable

[Whisper]

I wouldn't be so sure of that. NO OFFENCE to any american I'm not trying to be rude at all and if my post hurts you I'm sorry thats not my intention. America isn't very liked the american goverment is.....well extremly rude to preaty much every other country not to mention your goverments ego. All I'm saying is you've been rather nasty to many other goverments (espically Japan and China, russia to but there to messed up right now to matter) and there not gonna forget that, I'm getting rather pissed at america and its views on nuclear bombs you want every country to dismantle there bombs and your pissed like freakin livid if they don't yet you have tons of them. America has lost 16 nukes that the public knows about 2 of them were over Canada 1 over B.C by the northern tip of vancover Island and another by Qubec. The one over B.C was Americas first ever broken arrow (this happened when nukes were still rather new it was being transported from Alaska to....shit sum base I can't remember where they were given stricked orders not to enter Canadian air space but sumthin went wrong)

I just can't see America being #1 for much longer espically since your not as finacally stable as you used to be, your deficiet is HUGE. Now I really do hope that the U.K will be the one taking the power not Japan er China but I don't think thats gonna happen.


EDIT:

the ecomy of the us is top notch, unsurpassable
this is exactly what I'm talkin bout

[AC.wAkeBoArDin.06]

well heres this....

America may have a crappy government, but name me one government thats better than the US

[<-Dying_to_Live->]

yes, and dont lie now (because anyone who does will be lying)

[Whisper]

America isn't "better" then other countrys you just have really big guns and a trigger happy finger.

(I'm not trying to be mean! This actually has me rather worried I don't want any more wars I think theres been enough already)

EDIT:
yes, and dont lie now (because anyone who does will be lying)

OMG your Ego's HUGE

[<-Dying_to_Live->]

::big grin:: yes i am very arrogant when it comes to my country lol

[nwshc]

And look at the Japs cars. They get a million miles to the gallon. And what do we have? 11 mile to the gallon SUV.

They are taking a huge chunk out of the US market. GM, Ford, Dodge ect. better start thinking or say bye-bye.

Another think i hate that America does (love america tho) is that if someone screws up, it gets put on the back burner untill it explodes in their face.

Look at the Big Dig in Boston. What a fucking mess. If B.P.B and the Turnpike Attority and anyone else who knew about it just fixed the damn slurry walls when they found out about the problem.
But no. The project is 10 billion dollers over budget and us tax payers are still going to pay for it.

[serial-thrilla]

id go with china. luckey for us canadians we are well liked by the world. so noone will do anything to us.

[nwshc]

what does that have to do with anything?

[serial-thrilla]

well it has to do with no matter who becomes number 1 we wont be bombed or anything like that because we have no previous with other countries.

[nwshc]

Who says you wont? Just because you havent had privious conflicts with other countries doesnt mean everyone will like you.

[serial-thrilla]

maybe so but most countries have alot of enemies and they would go after them first.

[Dante]

bottom line, the world hates America, America wont remain number one, the economy sticks, and for those of u who r blind, the american dollar is BELOW THe EURO....sO WE'RE NOT NUMBER ONE when it comes to that.


I find it unlikely for anyone to bomb canada for the simple fact that Canada is a peaceful nation....The reason 9/11 happened was because they hated America, no matter how you put it.


ANd how does it look, when we go in iraq a country that had NOTHING to do with our attacks. If you think that is making Americas image is gonna get better w/crap like that, you're wrong.

[Ravenous]

Also the pound beats the euro and the dollar :) Not sure about any other currencys thoguh

[Dante]

see thats what im talking about....If we are so "number 1" our economy wouldnt suck.....America needs to re-evaluate the way they run things.

Congratulations, the euro is worth so much cuz like 30 countries banded togeather and pushed all their economic power into 1 currency--of course its going to be worth more.

OH but wait, you money could be worth gold but it still wouldnt matter because WE HAVE MORE OF IT :)

[nwshc]

But the Dollar could just plumit one day. I think it was Kennedy that got rid of the whole gold and silver back up the dollar thing.

Now the US dollar is just a promise that it is worth that much.

The inflation shit that is going on now is crazy too. Mr. Greenspan, will you intervine?

[<-Dying_to_Live->]

the dolar strength is bulit on trust that the government is stable and will never collapse. since that will never happen, and since everyone believes in it, its rock solid.

[nwshc]

Its still just backed up by a promise. We could have another depression? Who knows

[Dante]

the dolar strength is bulit on trust that the government is stable and will never collapse. since that will never happen, and since everyone believes in it, its rock solid.


yes the Euro was banded together from 30 countries and yes thats why its stronger....so Please care to explain why the pound is worth more than the the "prized US dollar"

Oh and in case you havent been reading up, The dollar fell again for the 5th time in a row. So for you to say it will never collapse think again, because it is.

[Ravenous]

yea the pound is stronger than 25 NOT 30 countries put together. and the dollar is even worse than that.

[Dante]

yea, I didn tknow the exact number, but in another post he was like 30 countries, so i was just responding to that.

[<-Dying_to_Live->]

the dollar is just 1 unit. the value could rise or fall, but what really matters is how much money we have. we have more money than you. bing, boom, bam. thats it. we have more

[Dante]

umm where have u been for the last 4-5 yrs......We are in a defecit. do you know what that means....a defict we r in so much debt, we are drowning.....Do you know the US owes other countries moneys,, in the trillions.

[Ravenous]

and if you did have more money it would be because you had more people. I think our GDP is higher....

[nwshc]

What country doesnt owe tons of money?

[<-Dying_to_Live->]

and what country gives more aid to the world than ours? let me think about this one, its incredably hard. oh wait, jk, NOONE. more money flows from our nation to help the welfare of mankind than anywhere else

[Ravenous]

*deflates cosmos's head* sorry it was looking extreemly big :)

[nwshc]

What cosmos said is so so so true. What did France give to the Tsunami victums? Somthing like 100,000 dollars. What did Germany give? Something like 1 million I think.

What do you think would happen if the US had a major event like a Tsunami? How much do you think will be donated to us? PRETTY MUCH NOTHING! Cuz most other countries are pricks like France and Spain.

Cuz most other countries are pricks like France and Spain. thats a really shallow opinion there. first off those numbers for amount of money donated are not true. second the reason the the u.s donated more is because it is a large country in population. i bet person for person canada donated more. im not saying the u.s didnt do their share because they definetly did their part and then some but calling other countrys pricks for not donating as much as your country is narrow minded. maybe those countrys arent as well off as yours.

[nwshc]

So your saying becuase France has a "lower population" means that they donate practicaly nothing? no. And we are talking about the government here, not by person.

[serial-thrilla]

well just because countries like france and spain didnt donate very much it doesent make them bad countries.

[nwshc]

Of cource it does! They could have donated way more and they are quite capable of donating more than they did.

[serial-thrilla]

so your saying if someone doesent donate alot of money to charity they are bad people?

[nwshc]

Its the government, and yes, if the government doesnt donate the money like everyother country in the world they are very bad.

[nwshc]

Ok

There was a major crisis in Canada. You have extra money that you could donate to your country, but you dont. You are financaly sound and can afford to donate. Does that make you a bad person that you didnt?
Yes

[serial-thrilla]

i disagree but you are free to your own opinion.

[nwshc]

That is why this is a debate

[Whisper]

What I find funny is your not including
Doctors
medical supplys
food
clean water
etc....
In your assement all your counting is money your not taking into consideration other donations

[Dante]

look, just because france and apsin didnt donate as much, doesnt make them bad countrues, and doesnt make the US better, the tsunami aid wasnt a freakin competion.

[serial-thrilla]

exactly^^ i dont know why you think countries who didnt donate as much are bad. they may donate to causes that the u.s dont.

[Dante]

exactly....and just to let u people know...the australian people donated more, im not talking bout the gov't but the citizens of australia, donated more than americans.

[<-Dying_to_Live->]

oh im sure they did. so as far as i know countries who dont donate are just as good as america who donates 10 times more.... and what else? wheres the rest of your argument. so far for the last page people have trying to defend the fact that you dont donate as much as we do. nice defense. admitting that you all suck when it comes to giving aid and money and supplies to the dying and needy.
