The trouble with China and India though is that the average quality of life in those countries isn't very good. They have a huge lower class, and small middle class, and a very small yet powerful upperclass. To become a superpower you need a really big middle class.

I think China or India. Who knows, maybe the E.U. Might be nice to take the pressure off the U.S. for a while.

No country can stay on top forever. I don't think I'd mind so much if America wasn't #1 anymore, might take a lot of political pressure off. But I don't think America is in any danger of becomming a 3rd world country. At WORST America could go into another Great Depression and even then...

That all sounds like rediculous nonsense to me. Conspiracy theorists can convince themselves of damn near anything.

Career changes have become very common these days in America. I'm in the process of changing mine now. Many people change their careers three or four times in their lifetimes.

I'm cool with bland.

I kinda hope it does disappear. No offense to anyone, I just don't like how it sounds.

I wouldn't like it, but I'm not talking about restaurants. There haven't been many restaurants that allow smoking around here for a while. I'm talking about bars. When I go to a bar, I do it with the intention of partaking in various (legal) drugs that are bad for my health. I accepted all...

Wow, that's some interesting stuff! I think about that kind of thing too. I've also thought about how the length of an hour varies depending on what you're doing/how you're feeling, but I don't know if I put much into it because it's a pretty egoistic perspective. But your son sounds like...

I say, if you deprive someone of their right to live, you have forfitted your own right to live. What's the point in putting someone in jail until they die?

Cake is bad for your health. Let's outlaw cake.

Tarantino has just gotten desperate to shock people.

Selfish!? Non-smokers took airplanes and restaurants. Now bars?! Next thing you know they're going to ban alcohol from bars. There were non-smoking bars before, but now they ALL have to be.

Sex! That was an easy choice.:hihi: Christmas or New Years?

Off with their heads!

I think intelligent design is a valid theory, but not really something that can be taught in schools, because it's just a theory, there aren't any facts to teach.

I think it's just a time to get together with your family.

Washington State just passed a smoking ban in bars and I don't like it. Non-smokers always get their way. This law even says you can't smoke 25 feet from the door of any business, but no one seems to be following that part.

By "God" do you mean the religious version or just some belief in a designer of the universe?

Again, I believe men and women are equally predisposed to gayness. I don't have any proof to back that up, but it seems logical to me. I think these statistics might be flawed by a varying definition of gayness. What seems gay for a man might not seem gay for a woman. And men are much less...
