Oh God my sides hurt

[quote] And our president can golf![/quote] What? are you nuts? that has got to be the most insane thing I have ever heard!!! you sir, I am sure have never even seen a golf ball! :)

[quote]As for the future of the US, I beleive that what SpacePony says to be the truth. We are not in a recession. The recession was created by the 'Bush-Haters' to scare people into becoming one of them. The environmentalists feel that if they can scare people enough, which obviously they have since this topic came up on a Sci-Fi Site, they can gain support for not only converting to biofuels and green technologies, but they can also aid the movement to pull out of Iraq. As for pesticides versu

[quote]Wow, SpacePony, that sounds shockingly similar to what white supremacy groups put out.[/quote] Yes, it does.. scary but just becase people who are full of hate think it does not mean that it is not correct (or possable). as i said, just a thoght on one way a nation like China could take over the world without firing a shot. and as far as underestimating "other cultures" pride, take into account what I mentioned about most of those within the culture having a connect

[quote]somebody mentioned. America vs china(no nukes included) america looses...us population 300 million. Chinise woman military 400 million. heck if they just start katapulting bodies on us troops they would win.America is and will remain a superpower for some time...but eventually same will happen with them as with all other that wannted uber rule, ala my culture is superior to yours-We are good guys all other needs direction...one will make way too many enemies, politicians will kiss eachoth

[quote]Country would do well with out Rep and Dem. We were warned against having political parties, that it would divide us. Anyways, I am all for whigs making a come back, or federalist. ROFL jk.[/quote] It is good that we are divided; it is good that the government is inefficient; it is good that the gears of various departments move slowly and cannot be speed up. It prevents tyrants from being able to take over by "uniting us" behind a single "idea of the moment" and then

[quote]Opinions of Ahmadinejad aside, he's not an idiot, and he's not suicidal. Despite his attempts at distancing himself from Sunni secularist Saddam, they're vastly less nuts than Osama. Ahmadinejad and co want to see an Islamic world, sure, but I'm sure they understand that launching a nuclear terrorist attack on the U.S. would quickly lead to no world [/quote] Ahmaddinejad has called for bringing about the end of the world , so yes he would launch, knowing the end result. That

Poorman you might want to change the color of the sample hats. Pink is really reserved for only the original beta testers and Ironclad/Stardock employees. Blue and Gold are the colors of the team with only the Pony itself being Pink

[quote] The Soviet Union didn't crumble because people of the world stopped supporting them. The Soviet Union imploded on itself due to a number of factors, namely corrupt governments and a very poor standard of living for the people. Much of the world did stand behind the Soviet Union's ideology, and still do today. However, due to the financial structure of the United States, huge corporate owners now basically run policy all over many parts of the world.[/quote] Your points about the

I am still waiting on my end but alas I have my hands full with other things... Oh and sorry for the disconnect on the Phone Joe... Seems my phone as developed a malfuction as it did it to me agian today when i was talking to another friend of minw... named Joe no less

[quote]it is never going to happen any way.. The Myians have it right, the world is going to end in 2012. Seeing that the Myans were wrong about every other prophecy they had and everytime something went wrong all they just did was increase the number of human sacrifices I don't put much stock in their end of the world scenario.HOWEVER . . .December 2012 would be around the end of Hillary's first term of office so yeah it would be the end of days.[/quote] rotfl oh i

when we run out of oil we will use what we have available to us and or find something new... Nesisity is the mother of invention... We can replace oil right now if we wished, it would just cost us too much to be worth it to us. When that changes we will use other sources of energy. This is the same argument that took place a little over 100 years ago ... they were talking about coal then and allong came oil 100 years from now someone will say... they had this same argument 100 years a

[quote]Hands up my bad, got the wrong fella. But i still disagree wholeheartedly, theres lots of evidence of the continuing degradation of the earth's environment and as i mentioned the loss of species."Oil is rather easy to create, we know exactly how it's formed, have for years"This is also incorrect, the real problem is it happens over hundreds of thousands/millions of years, kind of hard to recreate in a lab. So no, nobody knows for sure although we have a fairly good idea of the major steps

ajackel...BINGO.. were looking at the same thing here. Just your looking from one angle while where I am standing things look a bit different but we both know were looking at the same damn thing.. the good thing is we know were looking at the same thing.. makes it easer for us to really put together a whole 360 degree view on whats in front of us.

[quote]If we did not deserve it then the world would not bestow it upon us. Lets face the real fact here, even with our military might, if the rest of the world did not want us running the show the way we do then we would be stopped dead in our tracts.If the rest of the world (not as an organized action mind you but just as a mind set established within each socity as an individual aditude) did not want us to "rule" then they would develop other means of getting things done without us.That is mo

[quote]Lol my edit buttons gone and half the post went with it GRRRR...Anyways, What I was going to add to that was the question should be not Will america always be a superpower but whether it deserves to be one? Note I am aware thats a bit of a kettle,pot moment. But the point still standsO yeah and then I had a rant about how Bad and Socialially conroling Americas popular culture is, So I am glad that went missing(Can you tell I'm slighlty tippsy).[/quote] If we did not deserve it th

it is never going to happen any way.. The Myians have it right, the world is going to end in 2012. :p

[quote]No America won't always be a super power. It will be for some time, but once I perfect my zombie-clone army, the world will be united under the banner of ME.It will last until my mutant-zombie-clones overrun Las Vegas. After that, it'll all be downhill.I shall then proceed to put all the world's resources into space flight and exploitation thereof. I intend to be ruling from Mars by the tenth year of my domination. Also, I shall name game designers that have earned my favor as the Nobilit

[quote]SpacePony : Im sorry but your mistaken the None proliferation treaty (NPT) was set up to stop the spread of nuclear weapons, not nuclear powerIt is perfectly permissible for the signatories of the treaty to peruse nuclear power generation as we do in the west under Article IV of the NPT.[/quote] Um, we need to get past the BS in the press on this one. The treaty concerns the dispocition of the fissonable material, not the existance of the plant itself. The argument being made on

[quote]Quote:[is not a old nation because] England (Parliamentary government in 19th century) no longer a real monarchy cannot believe this rubbish (no offence meant). England has not been successfully invaded since 1066. The power of parliament was established at the end of the Civil War(1649).All that this shows is the shift of power. Not a revolution there was no violence, nothing had changed for the working man and the same people where in charge after the event. Thus it’s still the same nai

[quote] Why should they have to justify having a nuclear power program to the US AT ALL? the US didnt ask anyone if it was okay to develop a bomb, AND THEN USE IT, nuclear power was an afterthought. Its the same damn thing, why do the US think it has the moral justification to dictate this.[/quote] I have your answer for this [link="http://www.un.org/Depts/dda/WMD/treaty/"]WWW Link[/link] The short title is called The Nuclear Non-Proliferation treaty. They signed it.

[quote]no...wait, here's something even dumber! wow... ...America will never die. If America dies, the entire world goes with us because of our nukes. Plain and simple.really unbelievable....... *sigh*[quote] Wrong, by that logic the world should have ended when the soviet union broke apart. so we have historical evidence that this statement is incorrect. [quote]And your intelligent arugment why this isn't so? Tell me, how will America die? [quote] If we know tha

[quote]Just a side note, but while alternative fuels might solve the need for gasoline, we utilize petroleum for much more than just gas. Lubricant, oil, lip balm and a dozen more I can't think up off-hand.Industrial agriculture uses a LOT of oil, and not just for fueling tractors. Most fertilizer is petroleum-based, and without it, we wouldn't have anywhere near the capacity for growing the food we're used to eating.Also, for the question in the subject line, I'm sorry to say that I seriously d
