Fall of the U.S.?

[Pilkingtube]

I.. nobody seems to have pointed out that, the EU wouldn't want the US.. it's the EUROPEAN Union, Japan has as much of a chance as joining as a piece of the US does =/

I.. I want Japan to join the EU now, gief better trading relations plz

Heh, screw a European Union, we want a world union!!

..You mean the UN?

The EU and the UN are quite different things, both are instutions of political co-operation, only that the EU takes it to a deeper level. You'd need a "world union" if you want economic intergration with Japan.

Or.. we could just like, move Japan to near-ish Iceland and all is well, plus I can go to England when I want to then lol xD

Sounds like we have a plan, we'll tow Japan around the tip of south America, drag it up the north Atlantic and put it near Iceland. We should do the same New Zealand, beutiful little island sat in the middle of no-where. We'll have to leave Australia though, we could never fit it round South America or South Africa.

What if we cut it up with some scissors and like, reassemble it in a funny shape ?

So it will look like a...penis? Fair enough but can you imagine the astronauts in the ISS seeing a giant penis floating across the oceon? Not pleasant. Plus we will need mightly big scissors.

Well, Norway + Sweden look pretty penisy, shouldn't be too much of a shock!
Besides, you could just use loads of little scissors and just hire a bunch of people maybe?

Don't judge the silent majority by the vocal minority...

Despite our generally earth-shattering stupidity when it comes to dealing with the rest of the world, here in the US we're smart enough to avoid another Civil War. Pretty much the only thing that could do it is the total, absolute banning of firearms. As in, the government deploys troops to collect all the guns from people's homes.

 

[F-I-D-O]

Around the end of June 2010, or early July, he says, the U.S. will break into six pieces

We're off schedule!

Quick, Americans, get more angry!

Uhh, Obama is an islamic fundamentalist communist!

The Conservatives are stupid!


Quick people! We only have a couple more weeks till Civil war!

You war whore Republicans!

And we're back on schedule

I predict that America will implode under its own weight as your commercialism, consumerism, arrogance, ignorance, decadence, hypocrisy and racism merges into a giant ball of anti-culture and seeps into your very foundations and festers and crumbles and rots. It'll be grand.

Until then, though, I hope you'll churn out some amusing video games which I can use to occupy some of my spare time.

Ironically, it's your delicious hatred that keeps America strong. :B

"Strong" is hardly the right word here. "Barely holding together" would probably fit better.

 

[SendMeNoodz84]

....No

Well the governor of Texas did threaten to secede. So there's that.

They've threatened to secede for hundreds of years now.

I know hyperbole is fun and all but...

Texas:

Admission to Union: December 29, 1845

So you have a few years before "hundreds" is accurate.

Also, its not an idle threat, as they did actually secede on February 1, 1861

Decades doesn't have the same effect as hundreds. Again, hyperbole, so why does it matter?

 

[CincoDeMayo]

Haha, a Russian wrote this? Russia is so much closer to internal collapse than the US. 9/11 showed us that we may have varying opinions and beliefs but we still are a very unified nation.

Why do I get the impression that you think Russians are stupid?

No, I don't think Russians are stupid. I think their leaders are rash and I'm still a bit peeved about their attacks against Georgia and their prior massacre of the Ukrainian people (I have a Ukrainian friend).

And how does that differ from the US exactly?

 

[Dancingman]

Actually, I'll theorize there are two ways the US could crumble. Both of them highly improbable, but plausible.

1) Economic collapse-- With Financial "Reform" passing last week, the stage is set for another implosion like the one of Sept. '08. Except it could be even bigger. This is due to the "reform" and other "reforms" doing nothing to curtail any of the problems that led to the need for reform in the first place.

2) Political collapse-- A fraudulant election (that gets exposed) should do the trick. Mass protests would ensue. Government cracks down. Secessions eventually follow. Possible martial law. More rebellions follow. Continue downward spiral.

Though neither I'd expect this year. 2012, otoh....

Why would people secede about a fraudulent election? People would complain and huge protests would occur, but seceding from a union that makes them so prosperous and safe? The state governments would probably fall in line very quickly even if there was a proven fraudulent election.

Uh, what? Did I miss something? Has the US massacred thousands of Ukrainians or invaded Georgia? The answer is no. If you meant the first part, fine, but that was incredibly ambiguous as is.

If you exchange "Ukrainians" and "Georgia" with "innocent civilian Iraqis" and "Afghanistan" you'll get my picture.

Yeah, sorry to hear about the whole conservatives and dems joining together thing, I still have no idea how that's supposed to work...

 

[fletch_talon]

The United States will not fall. Many Americans remember we only have 2 years left with a awful leader. Once we reelect a ACTUAL leader we should do fine.

EDIT: I don't care what you think. So no replies, I don't want to log on and find 32 messages of more hate mail :]

It may help if you didn't go trolling for it then.
This isn't hate mail, its just honest to goodness advice, you're quite deluded if you think a post like that achieves anything other than provoking flames.

Otherwise if you must be a troll at least be subtle about it. People find it more entertaining that way.

Now you have no clear choice when it comes to a left wing vote. Welcome to Australian politics!

It isn't trolling its called "ones own opinion" but people here just can't live with anyone elses opinion other then there own.

Here's a little guide for future reference.

Opinion - I dislike Obama's policies such as [insert here] and think that his leadership could contribute to the downfall of the US if left unchecked.

Trolling - Obama is bad and nobody reply to this because I don't care what you think.

If you used the first method then you'd be fully justified in your statement, but instead you take the second path which just makes it seem like you're deliberately trying to aggravate people.
I think you'll find that there are plenty of people here who agree with your opinion I've seen plenty of anti-Obama minded individuals on this site, unfortunately many make the same mistake as you and come across as ignorant trolls. The non trollish variety do exist however.
