    Yes it does. But what if it depends on its crash also?

    the west was propped up. we were really convinced for a while we are any different. that we are immune to the "outside worlds problems".

    we were built to be raped. nothing more nothing less.

    Dont feel bad we have the same thing here in canada. it is all over europe now also.

    but i would say it is a big problem in the usa. the patriotism has become blinded and mis directed.

        like or hate it, that's the basic truth
        success = happiness. happiness can be all sorts of things. its just plain fact that the majority of people in the world will never acheive real financial success.

                    you dont own them. the bank owns them. you are not better then everyone else. in fact you have LESS MONEY than poor people because YOU ARE IN DEBT.

                    the west needs to drop this i have more things i am better mentality. because 99% of you chumps are in for a massive wakeup call.

                    Pretty sure that wake up call happend 2-3 years ago when eveeryones ARMS rolled over.

                      wakeup call? people have woken up?

                      go have a conversation with 99% of people anywhere, they will tell you what the TV tells them.
