How much longer do you think the U.S. will survive? - Page 3 - GoFuckYourself.com

YanksAngel · 04-19-2007, 10:33 AM

My point is that even if it were sarcasm and i figured it was, it was not cool. Why should anyone need to learn your "style' to take offense. I don't think it was funny and though I had the intellect to see it was just your way of sarcasm it showed disrespect. Do you think Canadians or the others found it gave them a chuckle. I don't want to fight I just think you can surely agree it was at least in bad taste. Thats all. Anytime you speak publicly and reference a country and represent one too, others will read your words and they will not know your writing style either. True?

And hey there Mr. so I am new to posting on the board. I usually only open my mouth when I have something worth saying and well I felt this was worth saying. Now everyone knows I am but a newbie. Shhhhh.

Did you like what I had to say though other than the last paragraph Phoenix? Did it make sense? I would like a bit of feedback on that if you had some time. Don't stay mad at an Angel ok?

God help us to remember to stand up for what is right and wrong and give us the courage to shout it from our own very rooftops... Before it is too late to save us. It all starts with you.... each of you. I know this sounds so simplified and like nothing to do with all of this but IMO it is the core of this . It is how we got here and why we are not able to snap out of it.

Two more things to point out briefly... We have a President that can't keep his dick in his pants long enough to protect the reputation of a nation during his term and then bold faced lies about it and we do nothing. What did that teach our youth about right and wrong? It taught them that they can get away with anything as long as you know the right people or can reason it away. Not standing up and punishing the wrong doers.

Nice post! I totally agree

Surely the dollar can only slide so far before every country in the world has to change their reserve currency to some other currency (of more value) IF that was to take place then I'd say that would be the final straw.

I will honestly be surprised if the U.S. remains in tact long enough to see another President.....And I have predictions on how that could play out as well.

No matter how you look at it.....We're fucked and as much as I hate to say it.....Rightly so after the way we treat other countries.

Your thoughts?

Our country will survive. It may not be something pretty, but we will survive. There is no other real super power at this point. We've networked enough to make friends... we're still the "land of opportunity".

There is a lot of information about his ties with Tamiflu, here is a good link

http://money.cnn.com/2005/10/31/news...tune_rumsfeld/

Plenty more if you do a few searches on google

Quote:

Rumsfeld served as Gilead (Research)'s chairman from 1997 until he joined the Bush administration in 2001, and he still holds a Gilead stake valued at between $5 million and $25 million, according to federal financial disclosures filed by Rumsfeld.

The forms don't reveal the exact number of shares Rumsfeld owns, but in the past six months fears of a pandemic and the ensuing scramble for Tamiflu have sent Gilead's stock from $35 to $47. That's made the Pentagon chief, already one of the wealthiest members of the Bush cabinet, at least $1 million richer.

Rumsfeld isn't the only political heavyweight benefiting from demand for Tamiflu, which is manufactured and marketed by Swiss pharma giant Roche. (Gilead receives a royalty from Roche equaling about 10% of sales.) Former Secretary of State George Shultz, who is on Gilead's board, has sold more than $7 million worth of Gilead since the beginning of 2005.

Another board member is the wife of former California Gov. Pete Wilson.

"I don't know of any biotech company that's so politically well-connected," says analyst Andrew McDonald of Think Equity Partners in San Francisco.

What's more, the federal government is emerging as one of the world's biggest customers for Tamiflu. In July, the Pentagon ordered $58 million worth of the treatment for U.S. troops around the world, and Congress is considering a multi-billion dollar purchase. Roche expects 2005 sales for Tamiflu to be about $1 billion, compared with $258 million in 2004.

Rumsfeld recused himself from any decisions involving Gilead when he left Gilead and became Secretary of Defense in early 2001. And late last month, notes a senior Pentagon official, Rumsfeld went even further and had the Pentagon's general counsel issue additional instructions outlining what he could and could not be involved in if there were an avian flu pandemic and the Pentagon had to respond.

As the flu issue heated up early this year, according to the Pentagon official, Rumsfeld considered unloading his entire Gilead stake and sought the advice of the Department of Justice, the SEC and the federal Office of Government Ethics.

Those agencies didn't offer an opinion so Rumsfeld consulted a private securities lawyer, who advised him that it was safer to hold on to the stock and be quite public about his recusal rather than sell and run the risk of being accused of trading on insider information, something Rumsfeld doesn't believe he possesses. So he's keeping his shares for the time being.

Obviously this doesn't prove anything but imo it's one of those things that makes ya go, hmmmmmm.

As far as the Roman Empire, the eastern half of the empire lasted until about the 15th century as the Byzantine Empire. Rome had been a Republic for 450 years or so before becoming an empire. This is a total span of almost 2000 years. So I don't think the observation that "all empires eventually come to an end" is very enlightening other than to point out just that. This is without even getting into the debate as to what an empire is and whether the US is one.

Here's my stab at it:
50-100 more years as #1 world power.
300 more years as a Republic

US will last until they will merge with EU and form some kind of North Atlantic Union. Give it 50-100 years.

edit: in fact it will last after that, too, as values and people. Just in a superior governmental form.

Aside from debt, military disorganization, and chronic civil war the roman empire could have lasted another several hundred years. The thing that knocked it on its ass and allowed the neighboring cultures (barbarians) to take of was massive depopulation due to the first major outbreak of bubonic plague in europe, asia minor, and north africa. In some roman provinces 1/3 to 1/2 of the population died. The emperor of the eastern empire almost died.

so that being said, yeah we have lots of screwy economic and political issues to deal with, and packs of angry humans nipping at our heels, but I think the institutions here are strong enough to withstand almost anything except a series of severe natural disasters or a new pandemic.

Soo right. The Byzantine emperor Justinian who built Haiga Sophia is the one who almost died of plague. But the greatest architectural achievement of his age was built while the western empire was falling apart and for another 1200 years the empire flourished. But the old britain to arabia empire was gone. So what that means is a culture can survive a very long time regardless of borders shifting and the locus of power.

Your thoughts?

Hmmm...definitely an interesting theory. We probably won't be "the most powerful nation in the world" forever...but I don't think we'll be out of the running before we get a new president. I think it's a gradual process, it'll take a bit longer than that.

Let me ask you somethin?

What is your countries biblical animal?

If your country has a biblical animal then great if not oh well sucks to be you.

Go Mama! We don't care that Canada ranks one of the top countries for living and shit in the world, we don't care if they work as peace keepers around the world, we don't care they won their independence without a single drop of blood, we don't care Canada is the number 1 supplier for oil to the USA.

It's really hard to say now. I do know that most Americans have become lazy, and not really wanting to work--or making excuses to miss work. I think that it could probably be in the next 20 years. Who knows. I do know this, I've seen a big change in everything over the past 10 years.

Yes I have to agree. The US is not going anywhere. We have to learn from our mistakes and move on. Yes we have made enemies, but we have more friends then enemies. The only way we will go out is if we take out a lot of other countries with us. I believe the person that posted all the pressing of the red buttons is right. That is something I hope it nevers comes down to.

FYI Most Americans are not lazy. Most work their ass off, so I am not sure where that came from.
