steve jobs? mark zuckerberg?
or maybe the guy that founded wikipedia.

I second the Osama Bin Laden entry. His network and actions have redefined domestic and foreign policy for the entire world.

T-Pain

The most influential person is without a doubt Chinese president Hu Jintao.

Wake up !

You mean when he got caught with the bong? ya that was pretty epic.

I just mean that when china will totally stop buying US treasury bunds (they've already reduced their buyings and even started to sell), the USA will collapse definitively.
Just a question of years now.

Learn his name.

Yeah I'd have to go with Bin Laden, whose really actions really urged dramatic changes on global scale. After 9/11 every single leader had to take a stand regarding him.

As for Bush I doubt if he really had much influence on the outcomes of War on Terror. I can't picture him developing, putting forward his own ideas and convincing Dick Cheney or Collin Powell on a debate over whatever issue, seems more like the other way around to me.

I was talking to int, not you charles.

But if you think China will ever stop investing in the United States then you are retarded.

Still losing my time to talk with you Pat and averybody who just dont know what they're talking about !

China doesnt'invest in the USA, where did u see that ?!
They bought bunds to finance your abyssal debt, nothing to see ?!
--> But now they stopped because they think you wont be able to pay the interests on debt.

So who will buy your bunds now ?
--> Nobody.

So how will the USA be able to finance artificial measures on domestic economy ?
--> on your own only.

with which money ?
--> that's the funny question !

The USA are totally out now. the problem is not new and the beginning can be dated quite obviously: the nineteen-eighties with reagan.

yeah phelps is a douche but a pretty fucking good swimmer.
