How many years we got left??

SilverFJ · Post by **SilverFJ** » Thu Aug 18, 2005 11:16 am

Honestly, everyone hates the United States and our economy is crumbling. Capitalism has run out, the war machine is running out of gas... We're turning into Nazi Germany in subjegation of the rest of the world, and you know where that went.

Bush might end up in an underground bunker with a cyanide pill and a gunshot just like Big Mr. H.--So how many years till you think that happens? Get me to some COOL country...like...

...um...

Holland, or New Zealand.
Someone get me out of here!!

I don't believe America will last forever. But it's going to be a loooooooooooonnnnnnnngggggg time before anything happens. You and I will be long gone.

You have to remember even if there were a few suitcase nukes going off in U.S. cities our population is knockin' on 300 million.

Oh yea, the United States has many thousand nuclear warheads. It doesn't really matter who hates our government you got the bombs you have a chip at the bargaining table.

So don't get your undies in a bunch.

I'd guess about 10 years. The disgusting amount of fake money Bush and other corporate criminals are ripping out of our pockets is going to be the end of us. 'America' in a sense is already gone. Been gone for 20 years or so.

Bush=Hitler??...ecomomy crumbling??...war machine out of gas??...subjugation of the world?? hmmm, and what country were you posting from???

You are right about the fact that our days are numbered though...it will be the final civil war for A(a)merica the G(g)reat. We are too torn apart inside(all facets) to defend against psychological terrorism from outside(which is really in our midst).

The LAND OF THE FREE and HOME OF THE BRAVE will still be kicking azz for quite a few generations. We're just getting warmed up.

FC, you overestimate China. It has far too many social problems to solve and a repressive totalitarian government that can barely keep the lid on the pot. India is much more likely to emerge as the next member of the Superpower Club.

willkil, huh?

if anything, the problem is that capitalism is too successful - just not to the average american. in a global economy with a laissez faire approach, big corporations will naturally seek to find the cheapest labor. this means that american jobs are farmed out of the country. CAFTA will make this worse than it already is (for better or worse). the corporations will get richer and richer - average joe poorer and poorer. goodbye middle class.

I don't think that capitalism has "run out". but i think that we're mounting problems with the current system that will necessitate a change in the system. i believe it will not be long before we're paying $5/gallon for gas or more - like maybe in about a year from now. several years from now $10/gallon.

demand for luxury items will drop and their prices with them. the cost of necessities will skyrocket and demand will be great. the good news is that a big screen TV will cost you next to nothing. the bad news is that a ham sandwich will cost you more than a big screen TV. I exaggerate but seriously it could be similar to that.

all of this is sort of slippery-slope, worst case scenario type stuff. but i still recommend you all obtain a vasectomy immediately.

heh, a vasectomy will only slow the problem....population control is not the problem...too much population 'control' is the problem.

but to answer your post, I never mentioned the sweathog(capatalism)because I, too, realize it has outgrown its 'pen'.

now...wuz that your 'crack with the wet towell'? <ouch!>

Oh, come on, Silver. We all know that the world will end one way or another, whether it be the all of America or the fall of India first. Every country's had or yet to have its horrid days.
Just take a look around the world. Hurricanes slamming into America, earthquakes in the ocean, tsunami, heat wave in Europe, etc.
I don't know about other countries but I know that America's seeing some weird weather. I mean, look at last winter's snow storm in Texas and Mexico. And blizzard in April somewhere up north. Not to mention a cold August, freezing September and October, and a warm Dec. Jan. and Feb. for the southeast. Hurricanes.
By the way, if you're heading to New Zealand, pick me up on the way. I'm moving out of the country too

Anyways, the thing is Bush isn't at fault for many things. Besides, we all knew where we're headed to once terrorism struck on 9/11 and Bush said we'll shut down the terrorist networks.

.. Hey!.. I was offering a serious suggestion, in reply to the American-centric question. Did you think those links were all crystal-gazingly flaky nonsense ?

This pace we're escalating at, our technological consumer ego driven pace of "development", will last until 2012.. Then some sort of changes will occur in mind, and how we percieve matter, space and ourselves.

Not only affecting the USA, .. but the whole planet..

Da what? What does some calendar created by a long-dead civilization have anything to do with the state of the human psyche? 2012 won't be much different than 2005: FPSes will continue to glut the market, each touting "teh shiniest!!!1!" graphics...Windows "Pink Frilly Name" will be announced...and Dick Clark will continue to look 30 years younger than he is.

El Ka Bong · Post by **El Ka Bong** » Thu Aug 18, 2005 9:24 pm

Re "how many years left" ..

... I just meant to propose the answer of 7 Years to the original question.

The question sounded rather un-global in it's intent, so to fluffen uup the discourse, I offered links to 2012, whatever you believe in.

But Sure !.. perhaps in 2012, consoles like ps4 and Xbox690 will be so powerful, something may come about, ...that "ends" the state of being were in now...We'll plug into untapped brain powers with new gaming consoles.. ( like something from Brainstorm, the movie..). And the US economy would rule again because of Microsoft... ....?

What I don't understand is why you think leave the country will solve anything. What makes you think you are going to agree with any other counrties rules, laws, and whatever if you can't even handle them here? No matter if you have the power or not to make a difference in the world it will still bring you right back here. Complaining.

Thats it

Testiculese · Post by **Testiculese** » Sat Aug 20, 2005 4:31 pm

'cause some other countries have less sheep and cow as people? That's a real good start.
The words America and Arrogance start with the same letter. I've never met a foreigner that act like a lot of the people in this country, and I've met many.

I can't type fast enough for the reasons that go by. Fortunately, most of them live pretty far away, and I'm ok in this corner, for now.

Humans are humans, Hoser, I'm not rebutting that.

But the ratio is far lower than here. Might be a local 'here', as I'm near Phili, and EVERYONE sucks arse over here.

(An American woman goes up to a counter in England and trys to buy something, handing over American money. "We don't accept that here" says the cashier. The American says "But I thought all third-world countries accepted American dollars?")

I'd say much less time then most think...

Just taking something like global warming into account, there have been several findings on global warming that have come out just this month that basically say"we is screwed, and there is nothing we can do about it". The scary thing is these reports give us 50-100 years till humanity faces a mass extinction due to all the trapped greenhouse gasses that used to be frozed underground are released into the atmosphere(estimates put it at more than mankind has released in the last 70 years). I personally dont think we have even that long... as a few reports state, most of what we read gives us the most conservitive estimates.... and some reports state that the earth will warm up much faster than prevous thought. Heck, were seeing changes today in animals migratory patterns/habbits that were not supposd to happen for another 25-50 years.
