We (the citizens of the USA) are buying most of our consumer goods from overseas, mostly China. They are being sold through Wal-Mart. Wal-Mart is wiping all the competition out of business. Entire industries, such as textiles, are gone from the USA and will never return.
The profits are going to build bigger and more accurate nuclear tipped missiles for the Chinese military. They plan to go to war with us in this century. They look ahead 50 years. We look ahead as far as profit margins demand, about 10 years.
hmm by the time we have our 50 president we will have destroyed the world in one way or another but who knows right? but i disagree about the wal-mart idea, products differ too much to be biased to just one store also we get a lot of products from other countries and things... but besides the point...
I doubt 200 years. But soon.. soon enough. Everything is destroyed and re-made. Our culture will die, but it will also live on through another one that has yet to come.
hello? has anyone heard of England, theyve been around for quite some time, we (redneck americans, j/k) are based off of Enland and have grown to prosper even more than they have. also, dreyn, seriously, lay off the conspiracy theories, lol
Yes, England is a classic example of a country that was once a superpower for quite a long time. Note the WAS ONCE. Proves the theory, really, doesn't it?
what made England great was its Commonwealth ... spread over the world .. other nations that wanted their own independance ... what makes the USA what it is today is the fact that it is one nation on one continent ... and what makes Australia great is the beer lol ... anyway England is still a superpower
well i think that the USA will never truly be gone. even thou most great civilizations only lasted about 200 years i think the USA will be differant. every country has its own legency and the USA's is most definatly the most interesting. Think about this. a group of farmers with hunting rifles and ragged cloths went up agesnt(spelling :( ) the most powerful army in the world,and won. Then many years later the south decided to leave...so we kicked their asses and made them come back. Then germany (the hans) decided to take over the world) so we stoped that with the help of are brothers in arms(and no help from france) then mear decades later germany(the nazis) once again tryed to take over the eastern hemishere and we stoped them..im not trying to make us look like super hero's or anything i just think that we are differant from other counties....now before anyone says anything i know we have made are share or mistakes (every war after WWII) and the "war on terror" to name a few. all we need is to get a good president into office and everything will be happy again......like clinton(althou he was a pervert he was still a great president) anyway....just my two cents.....
i think because the u.s. is by far the youngest, if we are included in the world average, we might ruin the statistic... it seems there are lots of civilizations who have quite long, rich histories. although i tend to feel society as a whole seems to be sheding its character left and right and succumbing to moral decay, i think the end will come from a catastrophic accident of some kind whose effect will be far wider than just america.
do u guyz wanna hear a poem i made up on a year after 9-11? ok here it goes.................
U.S.A Today
"Today people cried, a year ago, people died. The flag was half mast, this memory will always last. This is the U.S.A, but today, we became closer together, always and forever. Our colors are red, white and blue, we have hope, pride, and love too. Firefighters and policemen risked ther lives for us,and in return, we give them our trust. I'm an American, we all are at heart, so Lord, don't do us apart."
that poem was by me, so dont think i copied it from someone. Hope you all like it!
"To the world you are just one person, but to just one person, you could mean the world" or " If you love someone, put their name in a circle, not a heart, because a heart can be broken but a circle can go on forever."
I would rather live my life as if there is a God and die to find out there isn't, than live my life as if there isn't and die to find out there is.

From bondage to spiritual faith;
from spiritual faith to great courage;
from great courage to liberty;
from liberty to abundance;
from abundance to complacency;
from complacency to apathy;
from apathy to dependence;
from dependence back into bondage."
