    Australia is one country I've not heard many negative things about.I've heard many good things about the Land Down Under.Granted Australia has its problems like many many other places but overall you've got your act together--and as I mentioned before,contemporary America can learn alot from your country.Heck,if the US could copy just Australias strict immigration polices alone,and let's say Switzerlands superb health care system--America would be a premier country- like it used to be.:cheers2:

    Pretty funny if you consider they used Australia originally for dumping outlaws and criminals :D

    America is still a superpower. You lose sight of the fact that multiple superpowers can exist at the same time.

    this is absolutely true. and i rather suspect india is going to get in on the act.

    but while those stars are rising, america's is, at least at the moment, somewhat faiding, and i really see no reason to assume it won't continue doing so, at least untill it evolves beyond some of its current assumptions.

    mutual assistence builds community and community builds, has built, what we think of today as the soverignty of nations.

    all of which is mutating into forms which only superficially continue being pasted with familiar, yet every increasingly meaningless, labels.

    Don't let this government fool you the chinese will never be above america. This government controls who have nuclear weapons or not so a country won't ever be as powerful as the U.S. For example why are we the ones out of all countries being the law enforcers for north korea and their nuclear weapons. Do you really think this government (The White Man or Elites) would let the chinese become the new super power of the world. They may have us in debt but remember we have dozens of other countries in debt.

    Are you serious?

    The US government doesn't decide who does and doesn't have nuclear weapons.
    The Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons does.
    The US isn't the "law enforcers" regarding North Korea either.
    North Korea ratified their their acceptance to abide by the NPT...

    Ok now I was wrong then but the point I was trying to make is that the prohibiition of nuclear weapons is to keep the countries that are in power in power.Therefore they're not even giving north korea a chance to be in power

    No it isn't. When nuclear weapons were first used nobody really thought of the long term consequences. When they did...they tried to do something about it. It is true...the "super-powers" were cavalier and kept control of theirs and made themselves the only ones that could have them...perhaps wrongly...but the rest of the world agreed.

    North Korea said they would not pursue them...but have.

    If you think the ownership of nuclear weapons allows a country to be "in power", write to North Korea and tell them to rip up their NPT agreement, and make as many of the bloody things they like.:rolleyes:
