the uk is the biggest foreign investor in the usa. the usa is the biggest single investor in the uk. that suggests reliance and dependance on eachothers econimic well being. europes economy is bigger than americas.
The United States and the United Kingdom share the world's largest foreign direct investment partnership. American investment in the United Kingdom reached $255.4 billion in 2002, while British direct investment in the United States totaled $283.3 billion.[16]

You realize that 255.4 billion to the UK is a whole different picture then 283 billion to the US?

Well, I was mostly referring to your 'American! Filtered yeah!" attitude. All this talk about how the rest of the world is dependant on you and you can do whatever the hell you please. Surely you can see how that comes across as brash and irritating.

I would agree probably it was unreasonable, true i probably even exaggerated many of the things america does. However nothing bugs me more then people who say that Europe is now "better" then America and how America is responsible for all the worlds troubles, how it is a falling empire. It insults people's intelligence and it's just not true.
How is America's dominance is over when the Dollar is rising at unheard of levels and countries like Iceland are truly going to hell.

My god did this snowball, wish i had kept my big mouth shut now.
shall we agree to disagree and pretend we're all adults and allow other people to view things differently, seems this got really heated too.
now then election wise, it seems palin has become rather a liability to the republican ticket, i dont suppose its ever come up but have running mates ever been changed mid flow before? as now might the perfect timing to find someone better suited to the position than the alaskan hockey mom.

I support Barack Obama. While I haven't polled the Canadian people, I feel that the majority of Canadians want or support Barack Obama.
Simply put: I think Barack would be good for America, North America, and the world. How we each qualify a statement like that, or one opposed, is purely founded on opinion and preference, therefore, the reasons for which I support Obama are equally as valid as the reasons someone might have who supports John McCain.
I do think Barack would be good for America. I fear that some citizens would use their vote, to decide on their leader for the next four years, based solely on one criteria, albeit fundamentally important to them. Consider all the issues and think about where you will be 2, 3, 4 years from now, and where the country and world will be too. Most importantly: vote. Use that voice. Say it loud - say it proud.

I think allot of people are going to be surprised at the outcome of the election. But, I am of course preparing for the worst and have been applying to government jobs already (no lie).
A Liberal House, Senate, and President will more then likely lead to social health care and like social security, it will never ever go away no matter how bad it is.

Buck, when the small business owners who make $250,000 are taxed to spread the wealth around, the employees of those will suffer.
The people that will basically be getting my quarterly bonus checks (thats just the start) will at least contribute to the economy regarding the electronics, liquor, and cigarette industry.
As I said before, I have already been applying to government jobs due to the redistribution of wealth plan.

Social security works so well here, go to a Red Lobster at the beginning of the month in my city. I guess blowing 10% of the government check on crappy seafood and drinks isn't bad when you didn't earn it.
Maybe there are places where social health care works, but in the U.S. it would be abused.
