It has seemed like the US has been getting progressively worse in recent years, but compared to the couple hundred years it's been around, this is a small section. It could just be a fluctuation.

Fine, I'll amit it. I suck at trolling, no good at all. [sad](insertFaceHere)[/sad]

You know what would fuck us up? Aliens, fucking angry advanced aliens that want our resources. Well I guess that would fuck up the entire Earth.

Yeah, but why now?

2012 dude! The Mayans predicted it.

Mayans predicted when the calender would end.

Awwww. I keep forgetting your country's just a baby. When you put it in context the mini empire-building is kinda cute.

Quote from Javelin

You seem like one of those people called "I've spent so much of my life on the internet, I must be right" where as other people have some bit of correctness in their post, seriously, I like to troll from time to time.

i'm going to go ahead and agree with index and say that you're just a retard and you're wrong

also as far as a world war goes none of you have any idea what goes on behind the scenes politcally with any of these countries, your just making the most batshit crazy assumptions that might lead to a world war, none of you have any clue whether or not it could happen or will happen

I guess everyone wants each others resources right now. And USA is one of the most needing countries.

when you throw yourself on the verge of war with people that supply us with resourses its very close to a recipe for americas fall!

The United States of America is the number one producer of assault rifles, SMGs, handguns, missiles and chemical weapons, as well as jets, including the F35B costs $150 Million dollars.
Let me put that into perspective.
$150,000,000.
And that's just the Stock price without missiles or ammunition.
And the Pentagon has ordered 2,400 of these jets. The final price would be $360 Billion.
$360,000,000,000
The price of these jets alone is more than the rest of the world combined.
And this is only half of the US Military expenditures.
$698,000,000,000
Every. Single. Year.

Do you truly think that will take America down? America on it's worst day is better than almost any other country on it's best day... we probably just won't pay those debts... though many ppl will get pissed at me for saying this America is known for the "unpaid debt"... ask the native americans or the slave who were owed reparation...

Generally America's problem is not finding a way to pay off all of her debt... it's to find a nifty way to shirk it off...

Hate to break this to you, but a lot of the debt of the American government is owned by Americans and American companies. So defaulting doesn't do a great deal to improve the situation of the country as a whole.

yeah and we get our money by selling those weapons to people that can destroy us with them!

Exactly. Bonds are one of the most stable long-term investments there are, it pisses me off when people think the debt is just a big collection of IOU's given to other countries.

also to the above poster, if you have no idea what you're talking about then please stop acting as if you do. actually that goes to anyone who's posting in this section.
