Haha, sorry, I was just trying to start a conversation, I suppose this has been done before?? :P and I was less getting at whether it will supplant the US economically as whether it will become a cultural superpower, as the US currently is. But never mind, I guess. Didn't realize I was being...

What do ya'll think? If not, then which country (if any) will? China, India, Brazil, Germany and Russia have all been speculated to dethrone the US. So what do you think?

Time recently reported that something like 52% of those surveyed believed China would replace the US as the leading superpower (I can't find the article online). Personally, what with China's massive natural resources and built in consumer base of millions, it's hard for me to believe that...

There's never going to be a WWIII, in my humble non-expert opinion. The world economy is too integrated at this point. China isn't a rival of the US in the traditional sense; they would in no way benefit from a war, and our economies are incredibly intertwined. Of course, there is competition...

There... there are people in Australia? Kidding. But you have to look at other factors. America has hundreds of different ethnic groups and a higher poverty rate. Tons of things could potentially lead to larger instance of gun crime. Correlation =/= causation. But, no, of course I wouldn'...

Nahh. People mistake incompetence for evil all the time. General rule of thumb, at least in my mind: People are inherently good. Good, but also stupid :P most of the things we mistake for evil -idk, the Iraq war, for example- are, more often than not, the result of good intentions executed...

Eh, I'm in pretty good physical shape -like I have abs and all that, for what it's worth- but I also think I have sort of have harsh features. I think women tend to think of me as having a purely sexual attraction... I've been called hot, but never cute. Which, really, is not a good thing. Women...
