The comments on this are very fascinating. It seems most people in general want to take an optimistic view on China, and a pessimistic one on the US. In all reality, I think pessimism on both ends is the only thing warranted for the short-term future. Everybody but a few thought that the...

You're missing the point...assuming that an entire generation is a certain way is a, for lack of better words, foolish thing to do. Growing up in the 60's when racism was prevalent. Obviously not everyone who grew up in the 60's was a racist. I was applying your own logic to you. Granted...

Because naturally, anybody 21 or younger is a pussy. Like those Marines. Who are frequently 18-21 years old. Right. If the 58 in your name is your birth year, then you're a racist!...right :confused:

Here's a pdf that explains some points quite well, for starters...

Either country pulling the trigger on the other would be pulling it on themselves as well. As it is right now, both countries are very reliant on each other, despite what the media tries to tell you.

There is a fine difference between constructive criticism and bashing. Hopefully I don't need to explain it to you or point out how your posts are not constructive. (Hint: back it up with something). Sorry, I didn't know we were being so incredibly technical. When I clicked your post count...

I like how most of your posts outside of the technical section just like to bash the US. Really? We've passed the point of no return? Interesting, we've still been in worse situations.

Fortunately, there is still hope that with the right reforms (such as eliminating many of our welfare programs), the US could pay back more than $1b per day.

Please clarify.

I added numbers to your original post to make it easier to reply. 1. Agreed. It bothers me that nothing is actually being done about this. 2. I agree. I'm not saying we should have a virtual anarchy or anything like that. I just see many programs as unnecessary, excessive, and wasteful. If...

I actually am aware of it. They are different than welfare recipients because they are doing a service for the government. That is how business works. Did you seriously have to ask the difference between government contracts and welfare recipients? One is doing a service in return, one isn't...

Well, I don't know if this helps at all, but I'm glad there are some people here who can do more than panic and/or bash America. I had the opportunity to meet and even have a quick conversation with Ron Paul at an event for the Mises Institute that took place here in Houston. I asked him what...

After about 30 minutes of searching online, I cannot figure out how to short Chinese real estate. What would be the easiest way to do this?

Relativism is dangerous....be careful.

Forgive us for killing those with oppressive regimes, and getting upset when they kill people who are not part of oppressive regimes. Not all killing is the same, you would be a fool to think that. You are also a fool for thinking that the USA will collapse because some people believe that...

I came off as rude in that. Really wasn't trying to be I am just wondering why so many periods! Maybe not an MBA. I don't know. Maybe a college savings fund for kids if you have them, or attending workshops, etc.

libertad, why the hell do you use so many periods? i hardly ever post here but i always know to skip over your posts and i can tell just by the amount of periods. if everybody knew how to trade, most people would still lose money. the better investment is to put the money back into...

Can somebody please explain what we're looking at here?

...what?
