exploding? guess most of them will die as well then.

Don't know what sort of explosion you mean, but not even the blast of an H-bomb would reach Europe, so yeah, I doubt any of them'll be hurt.

But i dont understand how it'll affect america, lack of cheap toy cars doesnt kill. Does it...?

yes the lack of cheap toy car will mean more big (obese) ppl will have to walk to get food and that will cause heart attacks there for killing

"By the way, in 20 years America will be dying and China will be exploding. Seriously. China is a fair country from what I know of it, and Europe is scrambling to make sure it doesn't get hurt, which I don't think they will. "

From what I hear of it, Chia is a fair country only if you're not Chinese... ;P. Sure, in the US the NSA is beginning to do wiretaps, but they're far behind China in this. Ever hear of the "great firewall of China"? They know where you go online -- imagine network level spyware, if you will.

Yes, the US has some problems of late, but it's a lot better off than many other countries, and it is not too late to fix things. Fighting for your country is not just a physical endeavor, but also political. If you disagree with something, you need to let your regional representative know (we're a representative democracy, remember? :P). Stop listening to the person that spends the most, and start thinking about the why instead (also, don't vote strictly along party lines -- think for yourself about each candidate that will be representing you). One reason politics is so messed up is because politicians spend a lot of money to get elected, and it's not all their own money. So, they feel more responsible to those that "invested" in their election than those people that they are supposed to be representing. That is not how I feel my nation should be -- I see this as a blight spread deeply through the government, which needs to be excised.

Would I fight to protect my country? Politically yes. But if I'm going to start killing people based on someone else's say-so, I had better trust that person. And frankly, I don't trust the American government as it stands now. The founding principles are excellent. The constitution and bill of rights are wonderful. But the current government -- and by current I mean the last 5 decades or so -- has had some serious problems in implementation. (This is not to say that there is a strict cutoff, or that it may not be longer. My point is more that this corruption and blight has been around for a long time, and has had plenty of time to spread through all levels of the government. Nor are the the election processes the only problem, just an illustrative example. This is not a problem with a current set of people, but a current set of processes, which have over time become corrupted, and now fail to adequately implement the principles which they were designed. That the government has violated the bill of rights at all is absolute proof of that.).

Sorry about the rant, but I have some... problems with the way the American government is currently handled.

(Heh, just read Coce's post above... Instead of going off on another long rant, I'll just say briefly that American citizens have no concept of personal responsibility ]:-(! (as a whole; I'm not saying anything about individuals).).

Garee with most of that, however, Id like to add one thing.

I have absolutely NO respect for people who do not support a war because of the current administration, and take it out on the troops. that shows a hatred for your country.

Take it out on the government. That simple. :shrug:

Besides, Iraq has turned into a Vietnam. Shall I say more about that? :P

And when I meant exploding, just look at how much exports China does. So much American trade relies on it it's unbelievable.

Mind you, I can't condone the British government either; Blair is playing puppy dog to Bush. Seriously. :hellno:

Iraq is not Vietnam by a long shot. Check casualty rates. It barely rates as a war if your going by casualties. (no offense meant to anybody by that statement).

Vietnam started out in the same slow rate, casualty rates are hardly a justification as they only reinforce the similarities. A retard, I have no clue what your talking about, I havent seen a single person running around screaming I hate the troops. I do see some pricks with bumper stickers that say support our President Bush AND our troops as if you have to support both not one or the other. You dont even have to support the war to support the troops. I want em to live. But I hate the war and Bush. I always have and everytime I see the polls drop I gain a little bit more hope for the country.
