To me this whole idea of the Iranians building Nuclear Weapons to which the Iranians deny sounds awfully close to WMD's and we all know how well that panned out. |
2012 is just going as planned, the beginning of the end. There was a prediction I read somewhere saying that WW1 will be fought with spears and bows. WW2 will be fought with guns and explosives. WW3 will be fought with nuclear weapons and bombs. US have too much conspiracy shit going on that it makes it so hard to support them. |

You claim I "will never have the kind of knowledge about [the Iranian] people that [you] have." Yet you can't even conjure up a single rebuttal. Pathetic. |

So what stocks should we be buying for this looming war? Halliburton? |

What you are talking about is more the globalized economy and how these 2 large economies are currently relying on each other for their own respective success and growth, has nothing to do with 'debt' and being indebted to each other. If the economic system as we know it collapses, I would argue that the US and the West are going feel the effects much much more than China would. Assuming US and China go against each other at some point in the future, where is the US going to get all of their cheap manufacturing and high volume production labour to fulfill demands? There's nobody else but China to turn to. China realizes this, US realizes this. It sounds like the US may be the ones willing to jeopardize this relationship by going after the oil supply. I'm no expert in this area, just some surface observations. |
People always say "it would be in X's best interest to make sure that Y continues to do what it's doing now." Well, that was true for the American housing bubble collapse. If the Banks had simply renegotiated the mortgages that they knew were infeasable and simply written down the value of the houses instead of calling the mortgages due and foreclosing on them, then the bubble wouldn't have burst as quickly or as harshly. "It was in the Banks' best interest to not call in that many mortgages all at once, because the total value of assets fell." Let's look at Greece. It'd be in the world's best interest to just shut the fuck up and give them a fuckton of money to try and pay off a bunch of their debts (or just forgive them!) and then move on from there. And now, going back on what I said before as far as what would be in Israel/Iran's best interests...it's entirely possible Israel may attack Iran, even though it's not in their best long-term interests at all. |

We had a guest lecture from a very interesting prof named Stephen Prothero who wrote a horrifically wordy book you should check out called "God is not One". It's a heavy read but quite informative, especially if you don't have a background in the world's main religions. |
yes i took religious studies too and my grandparents/parents are a mix of jewish/christian (anglican, catholic)/muslim you can harp on the differences till the sun doesnt shine but you can do the same on the similarities if you're one to strive for peace and understanding amongst all you'll be looking at one over the other but again this is a subject for another thread |

The US is one of the youngest countries in the world, but also the most successful financially and socially. Doesn't that tell you something? |

interesting how you say there could be conflict between the US and China over Canada, care to elaborate on that? when you said that, for some reason, i had a flashback to the scene in Danial Craig's 007 Quantum of Solace, where James Bond is crashing the secret meeting between that organization at the opera in Austria. some guy said something like: "perhaps the tierra project isn't good use of quantum's time, maybe we should shift our focus to the Canadian", but yea, my take on what you said: Canada's a fucking awesome, hospitable country that China will try to take over in the future, which the US will of course, defend? |
The big reason we would be fought over is our vast resources. Fresh water, Oil and Gas, minerals, lumber, great expanses of farm land, even things like vast amount of open land to live on, or north west passage for shipping become factors that when put together in 30 years time could be worth war over. |
So what's this hear about the USS Enterprise (set to be decommed) in Iran, am I reading to much into this? |

It's way better to remain peaceful with Canada and just own their resources. |

This is what happen when someone has beef with another person.. Couldn't say I didn't see this coming. look like US is fed up with china pirating US movies? lol another excuse for him to use just so we can go to another war? |
Nope he's just playing to the internet censorship lobbyists. Using this as another excuse to federally come in and "censor/enforce" things to take away more freedoms. If he really had an issue against china do you think he would have signed this? Obama Signs Global Internet Treaty Worse Than SOPA: White House bypasses Senate to ink agreement that could allow Chinese companies to demand ISPs remove web content in US with no legal oversight « The Destructionist He could level the playing field easily by upping import taxes, manufacturing in american would take off, but no he allows china to sell us shit with fuck all in duty and taxes so Americans would have to compete with slave labour in china where the parents lock kids up to a fence to pee and poo while they work at the factory. |

This is a long'ish but pretty good read, mostly Apple related but should translate similarly to other companies using overseas production http://www.nytimes.com/2012/01/22/bu...ewanted=1&_r=2 . No slave labour or kids tied up to fences here, but I'm not sure I buy into all of it, Apple is essentially saying they can't make iPhones in the US even if foreign labour was not significantly cheaper than US labour; simply because there aren't enough labourers and mid-level engineers in the US and the workforce is not as 'flexible', whatever you want to translate that to mean. The way I interpret it, in the end it all comes down to growth and profits--turn in good growth and profits, shareholders are happy, and the economy is happy. If in doing so you are screwing your own people of jobs and supporting a foreign economy then so be it, as long as the growth and profits are there that is the important thing to keep your company alive. And at the end of the day, it still comes down to a simple survival of the fittest. |
Unfair balance in manufacturing? Geez, the US government can subsidize and create incentives to keep that shit here, but instead decided to spend their money on 2 needless wars. |
