If that happens, I hope your country gets invaded the very next day. Maybe try giving China a call, they'll come help out.

I think you are a bit paranoid.
Americans seem to think without them the world is a lost place.

I hope more people realize that America is not what they see on TV. TV is not mainstream anymore, it's the lowest common denominator.

The US economy is in the doldrums. Official unemployment is 9.2 percent but many economists & labor analysts believe the true number is closer to 16 percent. You might be better off in Canada or Australia...

Ditto. I'm a perfect example. No job here in the US. I'm going to Europe to find something to do! if you want, we can trade citizenships and you can be here and I can go to Europe and pay EU tuition rates and not have to get a work visa.

U.S. is still grate country, it is becoming police state and fascist state but still better then some European countries, the economy will collapse everywhere in the world so it does not matter where you at.

if you poor health stay in Europe if you are concern about economy stay home with family if you want to own a gun and be in riots come to U.S. there will be civil war soon.

is it worth it ? if you a banker sure if you just working class no.

intimate knowladge of the jewish quaters of London..

<Shrugs> The only frame of reference I have about St. John's Wood is that Keith Richards had a crib there so I figured it wasn't a ghetto. Also it's sung about in their song "Play With Fire".

Actually, I think you're the secret yid on here.. you keep dropping all the Jewish holidays all over the place.

.. this is literally the first time I've seen the words in my life. However, they slip off your tongue nicely.

But muzzle tov and nice try anyway, limey!

Yeah.. things will look rosy when he's what? 67?

Indeed it would. In 10 years Polands GDP per capita will be the same as most Western countries. If he bought now in five years he could have paid off the loan on a house in Poland based on his UK salary.

St John Woods is a upmarket area to live, next to Regents Park and Lords Cricket ground, pretty expensive obviously. But go ahead and make ignorant comments about things you don't know about. The cap fits.

i don't know which is worse....a country having economic woes due to mismanagement of funds.....or being completely dependent on other countries' money to keep you afloat. when your country achieves even half of what the USA has achieved in technology, innovation, manufacturing, medicine, sports, entertainment.....then we'll talk about who is "pathetic".

i dig poland, I really do, but if people are gonna spout trash like this, amma keep it real, son.

You are talking about the USA here arn't you? becuase both of those apply to the US. What is it, 40% of US government spending is borrowed. Any sane country would slash the Trillion dollar defence budget.

Exactly but yanks are stupid and too stubborn to give up some of their power which ironically will cause them to lose it all in the end :D

because of a mismanagement of funds. the money's there, it's just going to the wrong pockets and has been for quite some time, especially when GWB took the helm.

it's amazing how you can categorize 300+ million people like that so easily.

That previous comment about people that get their info from TV and generalize about the entire population applies directly to you, Piast.

I think you've taken things a little off topic.

May it fall fast and hard. War mongering cancer deserves all thats coming its way with the crises.

What did the American people do to you? many of us don't like Obama, don't want wars, we want our troops back, we could care less about fighting wars in other countries. We want to raise our families in peace, go to college, get a degree, buy a house, lead a normal life.

Watch what you are saying here, it will come back to you.

Maybe he just means the US as in the government, people in charge, military and horrible foreign affairs?
Because then I would agree with him.

But there are many fine US residents who are normal people. Some of them dont want wars. They want simple life to sustain their families.

Unfortunately as is true across the globe the governments do not represent the people.

I've been searching for a better country to live, and believe me, I've looked far and wide, and I have not found a better place yet. Granted, the weather is a big factor, but still, this is very nice, and if, like everywhere else, you surround yourself with good people, it is hard to beat.

.....of course in some locations there is nothing wrong with a wooden house,but,Im not talking "war" here,Im asking,why on earth do Americans still build wooden houses in Tornado Alley?

It doesn't matter how the house is constructed as the tornado lifts the roof off first and than the walls collapse. One way to prevent tornado damage is by the shape of the house. A geodesic dome works well due to the shape of house which deflects the wind.

No. I wish peace and freedom to all peoples. But if someones has to pay for it then there is no one better than the people responsible for oppression and violence.

mod: its ok I dont get offended by idiots blindly attempting to insulting me. At most its pathetic and I just laugh. Laugh like I do at the US :D

Unfortunately as is true across the globe the governments do not represent the people.

The american government are imperial terrorists. The people are for the most part stupid, brainwashed and even apathetic to anything that is going on. There are of course some smart people who see through the lies and denounce what their terrorist state is doing. Unfortunetly the US government has grown far too powerful and has no limits to its crimes and lies. You are right, all governments are unrepresentative mostly but the us is something else.

What is that suppposean?

The US is one of the last countries in the world I would choose to live. Granted, I'd exclude the entire continent of Africa and most third world countries. But the US is closer to a Third world country than a First. Its a depressing place.

I think the u.s. would be a good place to live if you are ultra rich.

But, if you are hopelessly middle class (and there is nothing wrong with that!!) a better bet would be Canada, Australia, New Zealand or out of London. This is of course you speak English. I would move to Stockholm in a heartbeat if it was possible- Sweden and Scandinavia in general really take care of its citizens.

Wikipedia has the charts, if you are middle class, you real income has been stagnant for decades. Most people are not getting richer.

but even being middle class has its difficulties- too much money for some things and not enough for others- by this I mean health care.

I think it is more difficult for the middle class in the U.S. than anywhere else in the world.

I've traveled to 5 continents and know how lucky we are here in the USA. But having said that, unless you're very wealthy, our quality of life lags behind much of the developed world.

As others have pointed out on this thread, the problem is wealth inequality and the widening income gap. One percent of the US population controls about 24 percent of the national wealth, a number not seen since the late 1920s. Middle-class wages have been stagnant for at least a decade, if not longer.

Frankly, the mood in this country is downright scary. Many Americans are terrified of losing what little they already have. They've jumped onto the Tea Party bandwagon, even though this populist movement is manipulated & control by powerful business elites, who clearly do not represent the best interests of working Americans.

Despite the rhetoric of change & hope, President Obama has done little, if anything, to improve the lives of ordinary Americans. In fact, he's moved from the center to the right, and has allowed the Republicans to frame the debate on the economy, e.g., the current nonsense regarding the debt ceiling. Sure, the national debt is a concern in the long-term, but right now what is needed is job creation, a fact sadly lost on Republicans and most Democrats.

So, if I were an educated & skilled worker looking for someplace new to live, the USA would be the last place on my list.

I agree with you but if economy collapses as it is 100% sure it will, it will collapse everywhere so to have a fighting chance to survival I would choose U.S. as I can own a gun and I can hunt not may countries you can own a gun and have lot of land you can hunt on.
