In fact, it'll end like the Roman empire- centuries of corruption rotting it's insides. And then, some series of external events will destroy what remaining stability the US has, and the whole thing will collapse.

Apart from the serious morale implications of you're declaration that we should abandon the weak and poor, because you can't be bothered to look after them (They're other human being, for god's sake!

In a nation like the US, were the rich live off the toil of the poor, the health of the poor has a huge effect. And when it collapses it'll be the fault of you nationalists and your precious Republican party.
Oh, and one last thing. Sarcastically calling someone 'genius'? Not vey original, or witty. Try harder, genius.

If you mean the British empire, we (I'm British too) did, in fact, relinquish it. This was due to a lack of ability to fight long, drawn out wars against native guerrilas, as we had just come out of WW2. For example, many African nations were allowed self-rule without any major violence (though we never willingly let go of Northern Ireland, for various reasons). But, we still gave up the empire, and so, survived as a nation.
Anyway, my point was that the US is heading for a collapse, while Britain managed to avoid one. Genius.

Really? We don't drive ourselves into the ground to help other nations, so everything's our fault? Tell me, what "major problems in the world" can be traced directly to the fault of Republicans?Originally Posted by Traitorfish
They relinquished their empires? No, they just faded out of being the major power. Just like America will do someday.And the US won't go down the way of Britain and France, because it's not like that. Britain and France relinquished their empires. But the American Reich isn't like that. It'll fight to the miserable, bloody death rather than give up.
What other examples are there? How has it "reached a peak" under Bush? You must be forgetting people like WorldCom -- which actually DID have ties to Clinton.Corporate fraud has been going on for years, yes, but under Bush's corporate regime, it's reached a peak. The Enron cse isn't the only example.
I have never said that anybody who disagrees with me knows nothing about politics. Nice try. I merely pointed out that those who don't know much about politics are more likely to believe biased media stories about how Bush is profitting off whatever so it must be his fault than those who actually know what they're talking about.And don't say that anyone who disagrees with you knows nothing about politics. After all, I'm sure Kier Hardie would have disagreed with you, and anyone who says he knows nothing about politics is obviously completely cluesless.
Protection. Not welfare. If my neighbor wants to live off welfare instead of getting off his lazy ass and working, why should I be forced to support him? If his neighbor isn't smart enough to get a job with decent benefits, why should I be forced to pay for his health insurance?And the welfare of it's citizens is the governments prime concern.
There's a difference in abandoning them and letting them help themselves. Give a man a fish or teach a man to fish? For one thing, not everybody who's poor -- in fact, the very small minority of the poor -- is "weak", or disabled to the point that they cannot work. And if they were, there would be plenty of government programs for them anyway. We could go through a system of confiscating money from the working class of citizens to redistribute to the non-working ("poor"), or we could say "hey, if you want to eat, we'll help you get a job". One way, we're not helping them, we're only taking money away from everybody else. The other way, we help them help themselves, and every aspect of the economy benefits.Apart from the serious morale implications of you're declaration that we should abandon the weak and poor, because you can't be bothered to look after them (They're other human being, for god's sake! Show some compassion!), but it will cause problems for the US politically.
Actually, no, the rich live off the toil of themselves. That's the beauty of Capitalism -- if you want to get rich, and you work hard/long/smart enough, you CAN get rich. There is no excuse of staying poor in America. I don't know how many times I've explained this.Part of the reason Rome collapsed was plauge... and plauge (spanish flu) helped destroy the Second Reich in 1918. In a nation like the US, were the rich live off the toil of the poor, the health of the poor has a huge effect. And when it collapses it'll be the fault of you nationalists and your precious Republican party.
And somehow I highly doubt that some epidemic is going to wipe out half our population. Good story, though.
It's a generic line, and it's better than saying "you're a dumbass". Much less true, but at least it sounds better.Oh, and one last thing. Sarcastically calling someone 'genius'? Not vey original, or witty. Try harder, genius.

Britain and France faded as major powers, yes, but America won't- it'll crash and burn, like some sort of 6,000 mile wide Howard Hughes.
Yes, fraud occured under Clinton, but he was a capitalist tool. Just because he was a democrat does not make him a socialist idol. And other examples include 'Dead Peasants Insurance', a delightful scheme concuted by several major US corporations. Look it up. Not to mention the huge amounts of tax evasion. Not all of these were 'illegal', but the corrupt American legal system is not exactly a shining beacon of justice. Ask Mumia.
The US media are zealous supporters of Bush's capitalist regime. I get my info from independant journalists, not from the propaganda factories of right-wing America.
[quoye]I]Protection[/I]. Not welfare. If my neighbor wants to live off welfare instead of getting off his lazy ass and working, why should I be forced to support him?

No, welfare. Nationalists say a lot of stuff about protection, but what's the good of protecting people if you just let them rot. 'Hurray! We save the people from the bad guys! Now they will clean my toilets for 47c and hour!' Social darwinism makes no sense- if someone is brought up with little education, how are they supposed to compete with someone who went to an ivy leauge school? Especially since all the jobs have been taken to Mexico, where there's a whole load of people who the corporations can exploit even more.
And capitalism doesn't work. It makes no sense at all. The rich haven't worked for their cash. They inherited it. Americans deny it, but there is an incredibly rigid class system in the country, and the rich bourgeoise won't let anyone grab a penny of there hard inherited-cash.
You'd have to be a fool to say that a poor, badly-educated black guy from the ghettoe has half the chance that some upper-class, rich maggot has. Capitalism is greed as a political and economic system. And greed never has any benefits to anyone but the one's making the profit.
It may be a little better, but it's still a dumb thing to say. And you just called me a dumbass. That's against the ToS, you know.It's a generic line, and it's better than saying "you're a dumbass". Much less true, but at least it sounds better.
OK, you're right, but I meant there was never a major war. I never said Britain gave up it's empire willingly.Originally Posted by Flying Mullet
