Thumbs down USA has already LOST!

My friends,
We have already lost to the rest of the world. While our youth is consumed with iPODS, wearing pants that are 20 sizes too big that are falling off their asses, Brittany Spears, and 50-Cent hip hop culture that promote drugs, sex, guns, and cars with big stereos that go "BOOM" and 30 inches wheels that have spinners, the rest of the world is kicking our asses in studies. Forget the Arabs, worry about OUR next generation. We can never compete with the youth of China, Japan, Taiwan, India, Pakistan, etc. China is on the verge of passing us by as a superpower as well.
Hey people get your heads out of the sand. The western world has done a very good job of pissing off those Arabs. What do you think will happen? I seriously think that one day the Arab world will have enough of our pompous ways and will just cut all ties with us and just deal with China instead. We need those Arabs MUCH MORE than they need us. China will be happy to take our place. Why are we overseas right now? In a nutshell, it is to keep China away and to keep USA in. Remember that Iraq had already signed oil contracts with Russia and China prior to our invasion. Do you think those contracts will be honored now? WAKE UP!! Do you think our next generation will be able to keep America from falling? We don't need to worry about someone attacking us. We are our own downfall IMO.

Lost to what? We are winning the war on terror, hip-hop, rap, teenage pregnancy, corporate fat cats. What more you want?

Three leftwings all aflutter to Boner's one rightwing flopping. Result is circling round the same dead-a$$ed carcass-in-the-bush week after week.

Why was BHD banned? Did I miss something? I'm sure he must have deserved it but I would still like to know

Violated the rules. Ignored warnings. Bye-bye.

If he was serious, his head never saw the light of day. If he wasn't serious, it was a real hoot of a joke....and giving his rants, I really don't think he could have been serious. That is, unless he was a wealthy (and I mean not just rich) megalomainiacal, fascist, corporate welfare apologist. IMHO.

By the way, did you hear the one about when when Mohammed walked into a bar one day....?

A cowboy an Indian and a Muslim were waiting on a plane in Bozeman Montana. It gets kinda of quiet and the Indian says softly "you know, once my people were many and spread accross this land, but now we are few" The muslim says "we were once few but now are many. We are spreading accross this world. Why do you think that is?"

The cowboy looks up and adjust his hat slightly and drawls "I rekon thats cause we ain't played cowboys and muslims yet, but we're fixin to."

When the cowboys and Arabs draw down
On each other at noon
In the cool dusty air of the city boardroom
Will you stand by a passive spectator
Of the market dictators
Will you discreetly withdraw
With your ear pressed to the boardroom door
Will you hear when the lion within you roars
Will you take to the hills
Will you stand
Will you stand for it
Will you hear when the lion within you roars

A lot of the problems are in the skools. Trim off all the fat and leave the meat and bones. We are not going to be manufacturing giants any more. Live with it. Nobody every will make it without the 3 Rs. Make that 80% of the load instead of just a class.

I think manufacturing will come back, it almost has to. We won't however be the dominant goods producer. I say that because it makes sense to move production close to the consumer. Its already being proven in the southern US. We used to have a lock on while collar jobs, but not anymore. They too are going overseas, and something has to fill the gap. With rising transportation expenses due to fuel costs, we will probably see multi-national companies setting up factories here, still the biggest consumer market in the world.
