That's probably right. Generation Y understands that they are the ones who will be stuck with this debt and if they refuse to pay it, The dollar, the US economy and US Gov will all collapse about the same time.

Meh, it's just like Parts said on page one. They'll never try to collect it. Foreigners just get all wet in the panties at the idea of the US collapsing, but the world depends on a stable American economy. The US alone makes up a full third of the world's consumer market. Americans are the ones buying all the crap everyone else makes and sells. Richard made the best point in this thread.

If money was going to collapse the United States then you can kiss the rest of the world goodbye aswell.

America will collapse under the weight of their very own obese in their giant SUVs.

I'm funny.  :lol1:

China is funding the war and that's the crux of our so-called debt. It's not a loan, it's the price they pay to keep their hands clean, as well as an investment in their own future economy; when it's said and done they'll be getting oil for the cheap.

Actually the most probable reason to a collapse is that you spend more than you earn.

That's probably right. Generation Y understands that they are the ones who will be stuck with this debt and if they refuse to pay it, The dollar, the US economy and US Gov will all collapse about the same time.

Not unlikely. Although Generation Y is about Generation Y, always. They are about what's in it for them, never the other way around.

This is true and why I don't see that it is in anyone's interest to have the US collapse.

But in all fairness, nope, the rest of the world is not waiting for the US to collapse. They are busy watching themselves collapse. Have a look at the Euro zone, for example.

The Chinese economy is not particularly stable either.

My part of it is going to collapse under the weight of all this snow.   :zombiefuck:

You win this thread because that's most unsettling to even think about.

Everything has an expiry date. Western civilization in general will probably collapse within the next few decades.

It's not particularly unstable either; just like the US isn't. China, while funding the war, they also focus on their own world image quickly becoming an attractive place for international tourism, and their economy has in fact improved greatly over the last thirty years. China is not only the worlds largest manufacturing economy, but also the largest exporter of goods, and the fastest growing consumer economy second only to the US.

Yeah, well I think they're sitting around watching re-runs of COPS, sucking down Mcburgers and Starbucks, chuckling about dead American babies at Disney Land, obsessing on anything USA and finding pleasure in every single perceived American failure they can cling to.  :orly:

Lots of countries have a huge vested interest in the actions taking place in the middle east. Some just need to pick up the financial burden of others in order for a successful outcome for all, and if things actually get really bad for the euro then I think that will happen because the world depends on a stable economy in Europe too.  :dunno:

No, not really. It's quite the other way around, even though the US has worked on wrecking its image the last couple of years.

The problem with the Euro zone is less about the middle east than it is about the EU getting greedy and accepting members it shouldn't have accepted in its eagerness to break apart the old Soviet sphere of influence. Several of the newer members shouldn't have been accepted.

It's impossible for it to be the other way around. They're like pigs lined up at a tabloid TV trough gobbling up every last bite of sensationalized slop, then they turn around a belch: Them stupid Americans shove crap down my throat. :belch: I met this guy on Al's site I really liked. He talked about his fellow typical walk-of-the-mill britts like the white trash they are. Now that's someone I don't mind mocking the US, because at least he can laugh at himself too. People like that are very uncommon on the internet, especially from Europe.

The problem with the stability of economics in Europe is directly related to the middle east and all of the new people being allowed in, but it makes sense that's what the media is portraying to the public as politically motivated greed. When the US faltered a bit, the media blamed the Clinton administration and the housing boom.  :dunno:

Was discussing economics, not trying to find anything at all negative to say about China.

People like that are uncommon, period. I notice that you are rather quick categorising the Europeans, too.

But you don't live in Europe, AFAIK. You don't frequently travel in it. I do, and my impression remains different from yours.
