Thats not really evidence thats more of an opinion,and from your opinion and example would be if England fell everyone else would,and countries can adapt so if we did lose America everyone will adapt from the loss.

Why did Rome fell and no other major country? Why did British Empire fell and not any other? Are you saying that when usa falls every other major country falls too? Why? What would cause that to happen?

Rome doesn't count, that was way too long ago, modern day civilization is way too different

And the British empire fell, not Britain, theres a difference

Im just thinkin that in todays world major countries are very stable and not going anywhere fast, the interdependence of todays countries would make it so that if something severe enough eas going on that one was falling, everyone else probably would too

I suppose to some extent there is interdependence.. Just look at the impact the current US economic turmoil is having on the global economy.. Or matters with oil production..

but still it's foolish to claim that if usa falls, every other major country falls also. but if it would happen, which I doubt, Finland ain't a country to be considered as a "major" so doesn't bother me if all major ones fall. more power to us.

Scarecrow63 · « **Reply #146 on:** October 07, 2007, 01:07:09 PM »

Im sure all modern industrialized countries wouldn't be so well off, including Finland

And what US economic turmoil?

s-t-n · « **Reply #147 on:** October 07, 2007, 01:09:47 PM »

the loans crisis...the us is in x trillion dollars debt, and that equats to x million per person to pay, so they are recalling all the loans from abroad. thats what caused the Northern Rock crisis.

Scarecrow63 · « **Reply #148 on:** October 07, 2007, 01:13:00 PM »

The us is no worse in debt than anyone else, sure theres alot but when comparing to gdp its not that bad

Meyer · « **Reply #149 on:** October 07, 2007, 01:26:47 PM »

well actually it's quite bad.

Scarecrow63 · « **Reply #150 on:** October 07, 2007, 01:31:05 PM »

Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan

Theres is worse than ours

Meyer · « **Reply #151 on:** October 07, 2007, 01:35:03 PM »

not really. your debt is on guinness world's record book.

Scarecrow63 · « **Reply #152 on:** October 07, 2007, 01:40:02 PM »

when just looking at the pure numbers maybe, but also consider how many people there are in the US and how much money they have

Kratas · « **Reply #153 on:** October 07, 2007, 01:43:52 PM »

i dont think the US actually helps the rest of the world at all
europe some countries should be chucked out i think but alot of countries UK for example provide money and aid to other countries
asia well we gotta get toys somewhere
america a few computers that other countries could come up with
russia well i cant defend them at all

Meyer · « **Reply #154 on:** October 07, 2007, 01:44:26 PM »

well the economy of usa is based on taking loans. So records may tell you something that ain't true. plus you have to remember that usa has few super rich people, like movie stars for example. most of the peole are not so rich as your GDP indicates.

Scarecrow63 · « **Reply #155 on:** October 07, 2007, 01:53:54 PM »

so the only thing the UK does is give money to people? well so does everyone else, and the UK is in debt too, so there giving money they dont technically have

Meyer · « **Reply #156 on:** October 07, 2007, 02:06:49 PM »

well that's stupid. I think country shouldn't give money to other countries unitl they have everything in their own land. Why should we suppport some african coutnry when we have problems in our own?

Scarecrow63 · « **Reply #157 on:** October 07, 2007, 02:23:41 PM »

Because civilization cant be perfect, so we can try to help where we can

Meyer · « **Reply #158 on:** October 07, 2007, 02:43:42 PM »

and what help do we receive back? nothing but refugees who we don't want. And it ain't our fault they have fucked up their things.

Scarecrow63 · « **Reply #159 on:** October 07, 2007, 03:02:04 PM »

Sure it is, we buy their gold and diamonds and then we give them guns
