What arguments? I've already made several good ones and when I find out you believe 9/11 was justice by killing thousands of civilians I'm not suppose to call you an idiot. Sorry but that shows stupidity on a grand scale.

So being American is now the excuse for being stupid?
America always used to use the innovation of other Countries and decided what works then used it, decided what didn't and didn't use it... that was how America became great....... people all over the World came to America with ideas because America was open minded and willing to take challenges.
NOT TODAY however........ Today's America is so far up the big corporations butts that there is NO room for change and advancement....
Unless the big corporations can earn huge profits from the idea.
Saying that America is not like the rest of the world is now like a "leper colony" saying that they are not like the rest of the world..........
No they aren't but for all the wrong reasons..... get real here and STOP being so myopic and NO we don't like it this way... with exception of the gullible................

Remember what I told you earlier about paying attention?



You hear it all the time! Talks go on about Iran opening to inspection to make sure they aren't developing nuclear weapons with the UN talking to Iran, Russia talking to Iran, Turkey talking to Iran, China talking to Iran, the United States talking to Iran.
I think you and I have different ideas of what "diplomacy" is.

From your posts, I get the impression that you are for war, so our conversation is pretty much at an end.


Peace,
brian

The not considering Russia your enemy is a German idea.
Look you talk about two countries that have a very close relationship. Putin even speaks german at home. LOL!!! Germany doesn't consider Russia an enemy.
When German troops withdraw from afghanistan they will fly their equipment to russian airports and then to Germany. The Russians won't let America do that.

It's really a match made in heaven. Germany needs resources which Russia has in abundance and Russia needs technology which Germany has in abundance.

Plus Russia is a good puffer for Germany to use in case America wants to drag them in another war.

No you are back for more. There is not a single European country that runs higher deficits than America in terms of percentage of GDP. America has a way higher Debt/GDP ratio than the EU combined.

Actually, likes of Germany and Japan are currently dealing with a greater proportion that makes aging population (and their health care systems are proven to work even then). OTOH, the USA is ready to join them, with non-sense of ideas from the right wingers pushing for what isn't guaranteed to fail but has failed.

Nope only the entitlement class (Non producers) is growing. Which is even worse than a shrinking population.

I know you like keep to change the parameters but you just make yourself look like a fool.

Do I have to teach you what the difference between Deficits and Debt overall is?

Plus I was talking about Debt/GDP.

America : 102%
EU : 81.8%
