Forum Post: Goodbye, America

My observations and survey of the political landscape is giving me a lot of pessimistic thoughts. A 17 trillion dollar debt and a shooting down of any and all job opportunity. A nation cannot sustain itself where the beneficiaries outnumber the producers. If this trend continues, then the egalitarian society that several of you envision may become reallity. America will not fall, it will slowly decay and existence will be local and substinence-level. In which case I am screwed since I have no knowledge of hemp processing.

How can you say that?

FaceBook is offering its IPO this week!

Yeeeeeeeehaw!

You gotta love a system where anyone can buy a piece of a great company.

You will not be screwed. We will be better off and so will the world when we are no longer a super power.

plant food instead, feed yourself and anyone else you can barter goods with.

Don't limit your expectations....you depend too much on Wall street who in turn depends upon us to keep up their illusion of being worthy of all that is being given (freely) to them!

hemp processing can't be that difficult.

Well, a die off has always been the main environmental plan. Our world simply can't sustain the filthy billions who daily rape Mother Gaia of her precious bodily fluids. All will be better when you and the other billions of useless carbuncles on Mother Gaia's massive buttocks are returned to the earth and we, the enlightened environmental elite will leave enough of you plebes to weave our plaid shirts, cobble our Birkenstocks and keep our Subaru Outbacks running.

I either enjoy you for your sarcasm, or have a deeply seeded hatred for your hippi-ness.

Did you enjoy the General Buck Turgidson reference? :)

We-he-ell, uh, I'd like to hold off judgement on a thing like that, sir, until all the facts are in.

Study your history of dying civilizations and why they die.

Nobody ever cares but the smart bail long before the money becomes worthless to the outside world of the failed state.

The USA is headed to the worst CIVIL WAR in human history. The reason is 56% of the citizenry live off a government check, but the money is bogus. In the next few years no country on earth will accept US dollars and the USA will turn to cannibilism.

Marc Faber's book "Tomorrows Gold", is an excellent read on how & why nations have failed for 4,000+ years.


The BIG CEO's ( 1% ) that the OWS crowd croons about bought their Italian chalet's 20 years ago,... virtually everyone of the 1% could care less about the coming war, because only those that can't afford to bail will face the bloodbath.
