Hoorah a reply I find it is usually much more informative to know what the others think than listening to the yes men on one's own side. oh yes not many politicians can see the wood for the trees.

One ancestor was a General in the Civil War and another at The Little Big Horn so they probably did a bit too. I was really hoping a foreigner or two would give an opinion - not the local sh*t kicker ( no offence meant, of course ) :)

Hopefully there is more to life and our existence on this polluted planet than just voting - bird brain.

aaaaaaaaaah don't be like that. Can't pretend we don't exist, can you ? You seem to be wishing to return to the 1930s doctrine of isolationism - but that didn't work.

No country is an isolated island and trade makes us all better off financially. Not many Americans are more than 3 generations old, so lets not have any of that " fortress America - pull up the drawbridge " sort of shallow thinking.

The US elections are coming soon. There is plenty of talk within America about the pluses and minuses of the 2 candidates - rightly so. But not many inside the US system consider or care what the rest of the world thinks. The US has a huge effect on the rest of the world so it is not...

All this QE and other stimulants is like giving viagra and steroids to a sick person imho

The democrats are vastly overspending the nation's resources. Yearly spending has gone up from $850 billion a year to $2.3 trillion according to Bloomberg today. This is exactly what that Socialist fool Blair did in the UK, overspent then over borrowed and spent that too. The left wing...

Apparently statistically per 100,000 people, on average 88 are murdered in Washington DC per year. Not bad you may argue and they probably had it coming anyways. er maybe so but that's a worse stat than Iraq or about the same as Afghanistan. Man is a mean murderous beast and that's the...

Great jokes as ever Yannis - thanks Borrowed them for another website, hope you don't mind.

Sounds like an ideal candidate to me :confused:

Every Empire in history that I can think of suffered from collapse internally and on it's over extended borders. Therefore a good enough reason to OPTIMISE one's position on the planet rather than over extending influence/power or it will collapse all the quicker.If Hillary and co could just...

Forget year on year growth imho for the industrialised economies. Pumping the economies with money steroids just isn't working anymore. Politicians could focus instead on an OPTIMUM economy in the present circumstances. Brazil etc. are taking real jobs out of the industrialised countries by the...

Most of today's economists when talking about the financial crisis around the world try to promote growth of GDP. This they say should be done by greater consumer spending. I say go for OPTIMUM size and hold it there. The industrialised countries are probably near their OPTIMUM sizes. Promoting...

Do you really think the population is not rising rapidly ? If you want proof of rainforest clearance just take 1 look at the satellite images. I try to get uncaring chumps like you to care before it's irreversible.

A very big start would be for every nation to give 10% of it's military budget per year to the UN to try make some headway into these problems. I am not sugesting socialism or capitalism but just some common sense. Do you trash your dwelling and garden ? Probably not. The illegal loggers are...

There are lots of people like me that want to retain cheques. They are very useful in some transactions. Capitaism has it's virtues i.e. making work etc. but imho it has a very dark side i.e. the money grubbing sort of people that are trashing the rainforests, the oceans etc in their selfish...

Billionaire investor George Soros had a lot to celebrate on Saturday evening: his 82nd birthday and the engagement to his much younger girlfriend Tamiko Bolton. Soros and Bolton, who met in the spring of 2008, formally announced their engagement at a party at Soros' summer home in...

The Gunny prayer My gun which is in my hand Hallowed be thy name Thy will be done Around this dump as it is in Chicago.

Kermit for Pres - he doesn't try and confuse people with facts. :D
