I had absolutely no nationalist reaction unless you think my finding your comments funny is nationalistic.

And for you to say the U.S. is "out of the global game now" is utterly ignorant. Show me 10 countries with a higher GDP than the U.S. Find me 5? Find me 3? How about 1? Find a country within 50% of the U.S. GDP???

For the rest of the world's sake, you better hope the U.S. doesn't collapse. It would ruin not just the U.S., it would ruin the world economy as well.

Of course your reaction is a nationalist one (stupid by definition) ! You can't even stand someone saying China's leading the world since now and of course and first of all the USA. That's a fact !

By the way, China and the USA are not so different, u know ! The only real difference is that the standard of life in the USA is still a little bit higher. For the moment.
You're the only ones (not all americans, some are conscious) in the world to think your country is a democraty, a land of freedom and other bullshits...
But you cant be aware, u thrax, you dont even want to travel in the world as u said in a previous post ! So... lol
What do you know about other countries ?!
--> Nothing.
How can u compare then ?
--> U can't !
How can u be so sure your country is a "land of freedom" and a democraty ?
--> U can't ! Actually u just repeat what your politicians and media say. But who pays the politicians and finance theirs compains ? Who are the owners of your media ?
Etc

Nobody can seriously think he's free with massive debts.
You've got massive debts. Private and public.
Who owns your debts ? --> China

I can't remember if you said whether you've been to the U.S. or not Charlie..........refresh my memory.


And for you to say that the U.S. has a "slightly" better standard of living than China just further proves your lack of knowledge.

Several times for holyday and for my job and I've got a sister who lives in Louisiana since 20 years.

does she live in the French Quarter?

Thraxle, when i travel in your country, I can see extremely rich people AND extremely poor ones. It's exactly the same in China: extremely rich ones and extremely poor others. (but not everywhere in the world !) That's why I say China and the USA are not as different as u think.

Have you ever been in China ? Of course not, u've never been outside of the USA and you are not even interested in news from the world. Like the large majority in your country.

Actually, it's quite difficult for me to talk with people like u, dude, because you're so ignorant in all !

No, she lives near Lafayette.
She's been in NYC before for 10 years.

When did I say I don't care about news from around the world? I said I could care less if I travel around the world. Why would I leave my country........I have mountains, beaches, cold weather, warm weather, and pretty much every etnicity of people from around the world nestled somewhere in a corner in the U.S. I don't need to leave my country. I have internet access. I read stories from around the world. You make far too many assumptions about me.

There are only 2 conclusions I can make from our discussions over the past couple weeks:

1) you hate the U.S.
2) you want to see the U.S. fail

That's all I can conclude.

The French Quarter quesion was kind of a joke. ; )
