You build for yourself as it provides jobs, involves national spending which increases economic growth, and is often built better in your native nation(at least the West), which for some reason you later speculate it would be worse than if it had been imported. You must remember that people will...

Excuse me? i think America is god? you concluded this from my comments that your underestimating its power? Perhaps you would do well to realise what the term God means, as i do not think America is God, and I have in no way implied this. All thats obvious is that you underestimate the power...

If China attempts to move away from highly labour intensive industries, which would be very difficult with such a population, its economic growth will plummet as the west will have no use for it. Its only purpose at the moment is to involve itself in such work which it provides at cheaper rates...

Actually if China was as rich powerful as America, and hence its quality of life as high as America's, it would have MORE reson to invade Iraq etc. then America. America has its own substantial oil fields, and can produce for itself to an extent, unlike China, and has a FAR smaller population.

You are commiting several logical fallacies in your current comments which dont advance your argument. You have ignored WW1 and WW2 which destroyed British supremecy. Those cant arise again however due to the UN, media and globalisation. Britain did not have global domination in the sense that...

Ive been reading these posts and I cant see how you reach the conclusion that your winning.

Has anyone read Mark Twain? is it worthwile reading his work? Just like to know, because ive been told it was the inspiration for all subsequent American literature.

wow theres so much variety here, its fantastic. I really like Nietzsche's work, particularly thus spoke zarathustra, and Plato however my favourite philosopher is aristotle, and in particular i love his works the Nicomachean Ethics, Politics and Metaphysics. Fiction wise I like the Iliad(at...

I wasnt able to actually read all the comments on this thread due to their incredible number, however from the few I could read I have noticed a great lack of logic. Many of you have commented to the effect of 'men cant comment on abortion because they dont have a Uterus.' However just because...

There is One major difference between America and empires of the past and that is contemporary humane notions. The world of the past was ruthless and nations were attacked and corrupt etc. well beyond the instances of today. America on the other hand, has the benifit, of the UN etc...
