You're a simple minded idiot who only reads what they want to Signy. Keep painting me with the same brush you paint Rap with. You're only fooling yourself.

Of course, but even if that's so, what possible objective would the British media have to slur an American candidate? The British don't vote in your elections.
No, but they sure have a lot to say about them, don't they? And boy do they love Obama too.
As for the rest of your post, you obviously didn't read mine so I'm not going to reply to yours. If you want to read it again, in its entirity, and you have something intelligent to say, I'll be glad to debate it with you.

I'm sorry you didn't understand my post. Tone down the arrogant nationalism and try again.

It's not arrogant nationalism.
You didn't catch my drift, or you purposely ignored it. Truth is we could go to bluebacks within 5 years saying to hell with any debts we owe. By that time we can drill our own oil and grow our own food without any need for you or anybody on the other side of the globe..... Plenty to go around on the west from Canada right on down to Punta Arenas and without all the crazy Muslim shit that you all have to put up with over there.
This, of course, would mean that we would have to scale back the materialism that most Americans have grown accoustomed to and we'd have to grow and be a lot more responsible, but it can be done.
Don't talk to me about how we need the world economy when since the world economy started we've racked up 12 trillion dollars deficit, much of that money we spent supporting and rebuilding countries we destroyed.
I'm talking about a world where America doesn't meddle in everyone elses lives because we are completely self sufficient and have no need to do so.

Quote:I caught it just fine. You believe that America is some how unique, and better than, the other nations in the world, so that it'll be the only nation in history that'll manage to successfully implement isolationism. Isolationism was the your general drift, was it not? It was the viability of isolationism was arguing against.

It's wholly arrogant to believe that America is apart and separate from the world. Entirely Nationalistic to believe Americans are inherently more worthy and better. I got your drift, really I did, I just don't find it as profound as you seem to think it must be, I'm sorry but I don't.
Quote:What does rebuilding countries that have been destroyed by America got to do with the world economy? When did the world economy start in your view anyway? There was world wide trade before America even existed, so here, at least I have no idea where you're coming from. You seem to be tying completely disparate threads that have no need nor want to be so tied.

Quote:Not meddling is fine, but self sufficient isolationism is a pipe dream. America is a part of the world, not apart from it.

Quote:I never said America does need me. It is not, however, arrogant to say America is a part of the World, but it is arrogance that says it doesn't have to be.
Don't you be arrogant and think for a second that we need you Cit.
You remind me of the Beyond Thirty: The Lost Continent by Edgar Rice Burroughs. Its up at Project Gutenberg, you should read it, you'll like it I promise.

I got it just fine. You just don't like the implications, and you can't back up your assertions.
Try again.

Hmm. I thought it was 'corporatism', you hated, or 'monopolism'. To most folks they're not identical to capitalism.
BTW. We've been over that "I don't hate America. I hate (fill in the blank)" earlier in the thread. Your statements still never reference anything but America until you're called out on them for your spite against the US.

Back up yours Cit.
It's all a "What If" scenario from either side, so I doubt you'll find any scientific evidence supporting your theory.
All I'm saying is we're the land of plenty here and we've got geographical borders that protect us. There's no arguing against that. "A government is a body of people, usually notably ungoverned." http://www.myspace.com/6ixstringjack

Quote:My statements are based on history and precedent, yours are based on an assumption that America is different. Every nation that has given over to isolationism has gone down the same route, I'm not working on what ifs, you maybe, but I am not.

Quote:That's not all you're saying. You're saying that, and then saying because of that America can isolate itself from the rest of the world. There is arguing with that, because America is far from the first nation to try isolationism, and many of the other nations that have tried it have had similar things going for them.

Your assumption is that America, and Americans are 'different' to people who live in other countries, and it's not the case.
