JD50, your signature quote made me giggle
For a 13 trillion dollar economy that's not too shabby.

That's because you're starting off without enough real information to carry your end of the discussion.
well i wasnt intending to debate clinton, i was hoping to understand your politicle system and understand why in "some" ways the USA seems to be ignoring events in other parts of the world that will effect it in the long term, i.e. 20 to 40 years. so for me actually wanting america to do well in the future and recognise the coming changes and for me wanting to understand more about the frankly insane(to me) political system you all seem to have, im suddenly a basher of the USA, jealous, a European, and a whole bunch of other things combined.
my friend in Oklahoma said America is a place where you can talk about anything, disagree with anyone about everything, and still be there best friend for lunch. this thread is unfortunately proving him very wrong.
You haven't seen that Top Gear episode floating around on youtube have you? :laugh: There are a couple threads here on it. Watch that and you'll see just how tolerant people are in the deep south in this country.
Oh goodie, this lameass argument again. Intolerant jackasses are found all over this country, it is not exclusive to the Deep South.
a pattern that has no relevance to his role as president. he should have never been on the stand.

As to the OP, you grossly oversimplify (IMO) a number of issues and manage to sound condescending in the process (intended or not).
One American's views do not represent the views of the entire nation's people by a long shot. If I came over to England a pulled a random guy off the street and asked him for his views I'm not sure his would agree with yours. To generalize us all with such a limited sample is a little insulting, don't get upset if some of us nudge back a little.
I personally have a lot of friends who I disagree with politically (most of them in fact). That dosen't mean I don't like them as people.

If they got some real lions on the field, they'd probably do a lot better. I'd pay money to watch that.

such as where ? everything i have said is factual as far as China is concearned.[/quote]
''the Chinese, a communist country, will have successfully overtaken the USA in terms of economics, and with the massive workforce to back them up, it is doubtful anyone will be able to top them for a very long time."
The only possible fact I see is that China is communist and even that is debatable. All the rest is your supposition and opinion.
And P&N is that way. --->

Yeah, they could do the halftime show or whatever. As long as people are screaming, I'm paying.

Fart. Oh, yeah I'm soooo jealous I can't raise hell over Janet's nipple slip. Or have my savings and tax money poured down the drain with Enron and the Iraq war.... or having a leader whose every public outing is a reason for national embarrassment. Or having evolution and abortion pushed at the edge of social arena. Yeah, that's it. You are so right!
...you can now go back to sleep.
ITJunkie, on the other hand, makes some very valid points in his post. It's always better to look at what's not working and what's needed to change, than just sleep on laurels of past glory.

You conveniently quoted only part of his post....ommitting the part about his lying and stonewalling. :thumbsup: And, uh, ya, I tend to think outright lying and deception DOES affect his role as President.
