First of all the title is just a tug.Second,what I'm saying,since you seem to have missed it is that since the U.S. is a model to the rest of the world any country(such as India)who uses our model will eventually succumb  to the same end.

Do you think we've come to an end?

The imbalance within is addressed by our system of taxation - it still remains evident that even the richest people don't pay porportionally as much as the generally well off relative to their total net value.

Do you think we've come to an end?

In short,no.But we have surely fallen short of what our potential is.After WWII it is debateable whether or not so called "globalization" agendas were justified.The concept of a small world has never been so fitting as it is now.It's becoming harder and harder to keep a secret,exposing truths like the inability to fight wars without financing on both sides.They say "garbage in=garbage out" but in this world the equation looks more like "infinite good intentions in=garbage out."No matter what you throw at it the results are little to none.This is more of a feeling i have than a thought,viewing the world as a sort of snowball that devours whatever you feed it indiscriminately.

I normally avoid politics, particularly here because i am left-oriented (think socialism and communism) and that in the past used to provoke people into right-wing ranyts and slender just because I dare to think differently. That is called democracy, apparently. If you are progressive (left) you have right to be insulted and abused. But I need to say something here:

Gents, christo and jadaro, do you realise you two are on the same frequency actually?

Pese, that was horrible...And the amount of the fire spent on killing one person, every time, is way past war crimes court! I remember when Milosevic from Serbia was fighting Al-Qhaeda and albanian muslims in his own country, he ended up in Den Haag. And those who brought him there are now doing this in a foreign country...

Yeah, what a model there to look up to. But Dubya will get away with it because Den Haag is on his side, regardless of absolute disregard for basic human rights of even those muslims there in their own country.

I think we do know, ..we are on the same channel.  same thread.  It's mostly why this thread died for a bit I suppose.
