Have we gone backwards as a nation?
Well over a century ago, a world famous writer predicted that all civilizations and nations of the past, we too, the United States of America, would in time fade out of world history and be no more a nation that the rest of the world would look up to. The statement was made at a time just prior to World War I when our nation was bursting with idealism and glowing with pride. What made us so great was that we were not putting all our energy into building up ourselves, but building for the betterment of the whole world. We took pride in the statement that never would we want to permanently hold on to lands that we had taken over in wars. Land should be returned to the rightful owners. This noble viewpoint was upheld in the early years of the century but with certain alterations. After the Spanish-American War, we promised to turn back to the people all lands once we had set up a new government and we did, in time, and helped to free the nations from the Japanese occupation. This was the case of the Philippines. In Cuba, that we took from Spain at the same time, we took over the government but were unsuccessful in keeping a fully stable government and Cuba is now under their own power, although run by a dictator. What has turned this nation that was once looked up to by the entire world, and a nation that wanted to be emulated by all others? It is a hunger for power over the destiny of people and nations, and the growth of the military industrial complex that President Eisenhower warned us against and that is in power today. In World War II, a united people and nation performed the greatest operations in world history in winning a complete victory and unconditional surrender of Japan, armed to the teeth, and the great war machine of Germany and her allies. When World War II was over, the whole world trembled when we spoke and all we had to do was to form pacts with any nation, anywhere, which we did. This drastic act first brought on the distrust and suspicions of the world. The world felt that no nation should govern other nations in peace times by power and money. The result of wanting to be protector and advisor to the rest of the world was that our nation thought it was so big that it took over the mission and world duties of the United Nations. In Korea, we took over when North Korea invaded South Korea as the United Nations was not ready to act. We are still there and may be for years with all the liabilities. The same is true of Vietnam, a war that we met with defeat; the first in our history and by a small nation at that. We as a nation can talk to the world but the world will not listen as we have the respect we once held. Let us admit that we are a sick nation and we are getting sicker all the time.We have tried to save the world and have lost our soul and ideals in return. No longer do we trust in God as we once stamped on our silver dollars, that are also gone because paper money is cheaper. All we have to do is to give the people our “IOU†and go $400 billion in debt. It now takes $200 billion to operate our nation and with all our machinery, foreign nations are underselling us in cars and other machinery used daily. Slogans and optimistic talks will not turn the tide. Nor can inflation and the increasing of costs. There can be no permanent recovery unless we do as we did in WWI and WWII when all the energy of the nation had to go into building up our strength and need of survival. Some men have suggested that a depression would be a good remedy so that the people would get off their high horses and walk again. A few people are willing to live higher than before, while the money for all is not there. We can limp along for a while this way, but the day of reckoning is coming as sure as the sun will be rising tomorrow. Two and two still make four and common sense will still survive. We cannot live in a fool’s paradise forever. Have we gone backwards as a nation?

We are the UN. But you are right. By trying to appease the world and others we have forgotten our own country. I agree.

You said it all. So what's the question?
3 :
yes, all that needs to happen is a Revelation that makes us look at each other as equals not as one is above another.... We all reach the same destiny, death, why don't some people stop being so stupid? I'm from the USA but I hate how people could be so judgemental and ignorant? Whats wrong with people these days?

Joe you are tragically perceptive. Sloth, ignorance, apathy, self-gratification, greed, illiteracy have replaced the courage, sacrifice and effort of the founders and builders of our wonderful country. We owe so much to so many freedom-fighters and patriots, but gratitude is not in the lexicon of narcissism. The stature of statesmanship has evolved into political pandering for self gain and contempt for our history and the voters who send them to our capitols to do our bidding at great cost to us taxpayers. Our last defensive victory was WWII. Since then, our military is used as pawns in the machinations of global ambition. Vacuous celebrities are idolized for their inane, illegal and inhumane behaviors, while our military is tossed aside with their injuries and deaths from protecting these steroid/drug/alcohol-abusing derelicts who are given millions of dollars. Millions of Americans and millions of illegal alien parasites don't even know and wouldn't care that their future is of much shorter duration than what you predict. Depopulation through bioterrorist, nuclear or financial attack fills the need for fewer occupants considered inferior by the elites with the money and the power. China holds enough of our debt to completely vaporize our country if called, as proven by a single subtle threat to divest of some of our dollars that just recently caused worldwide near-panic at the same time our subprime mortgage disaster was finally being recognized by the industry. Thousands more jobs gone for America. Millions of American jobs gone overseas or to illegal labor here that taxpayers subsidize for American employers. A president who is working to destroy our national sovereignty by melding us with two countries of widely differing philosophies, language, coinage and culture without consulting us, even ridiculing publicly those who know what he's doing in stealth (until now) while meeting for the third time with leaders of Canada and Mexico for a North American Union. Because our congress is doing nothing to counter and stop this, they must be considered accomplices. More fools they, because most of them have no significant wealth, so are nothing more than useful idiots to the globalists. The Clintons and the Bushes, all with suspect histories, are doing the last steps for the globalists, but they will be tossed aside, also. One pair is white trash from Arkansas; the other one is a grandson of a Nazi collaberator who clawed his way to some wealth by never missing any means for a dollar. 'The Rise and Fall of Rome' provides a disturbing similarity to what astute observers of our society see is our end as the glorious United States of America.

Hey I have the same problem as you. I suggest you put some videos on youtube or make a myspace and out your videos on there as well.
2 :
Well a lot of ppl get famous over online! you could post a video on youtube, myspace,facebook, or imeem.
3 :
If you're really serious about the disney singing career, you should talk to your parents about it...because you're going to need their permission for you to do anything, as far as career-wise, because you're under 18. They can help you make a simple recording or even a video and mail it to talent scouts (i believe the address of where to mail or e-mail your stuff too will be somewhere on the disney website). Good luck to you! :)
4 :
On top of a demo you should also have a package and a web site and start a fan club by doing shows at clubs in your area.............Hollywood CA. USA
5 :
first of all you should make aware others about your speciality .i thnk u r absoulutely rightof putting your videos in youtube as this site is one of the best video sites................................................................

go 4 it. i am going thru that same thing. I did not have support of my parents at your age.So if they support you,take advantage of it. Use youtube,myspace,and showcaseyourmusic to get your stuff out there!!GOOD LUCK

Should I stop being friends with her?
Should I stop being friends with her?
She's my best friend for almost an year now, I love to hang with her. Though I really don't like how ungrateful she is to everything! Sometimes she act extremely selfish. To make this easier... I'm just going to make a list: 1. When I went and visited South Korea, I bought her a bunch of gifts, but all she did was "these are so cheap, that's probably the only reason you got me these!" 2. Whenever we hang out, she NEVER brings money! I have to pay for every single thing she buys! 3. When I asked if she could pay me back she told me that she's broke so I might as well just suck it up. 4. She never consider about my feelings! She think I have no emotions...! 5. She flirts with every guy. Even my boyfriend! Also she takes my credit for everything!! I really don't know if I should be friends with her any more...

You shouldn't be friends with her! She sounds like a complete bitch, who's just using you! There could be stuff going on for her at home, but still there's no reason to act like that. Ask her is she's ok, and try and get her to crack. If she doesn't, tell her you don't want to be friends anymore or something, or just start hanging out with other people.
2 :
no, shes not a good person. i would stray away from her.
3 :
I have had a friend that was like that and she annoyed me very much because she did the sane things your best friend did and i didn't like that at all. You should stop being her friend that is what i did.
4 :
no you need to think of yourself first and what you need. she is stealing and does not respect you or your feelings so in turn she is not a good friend
5 :
Don't buy her anything anymore, not food, if she asks for the reason, ask her why she doesn't give you anything. Just leave her out if she can't afford it, and if she stays your friend for at least a month or two, go back to cashing her along, because she's loyal.
6 :
Even though you two are great friends...mooching shouldn't be a reason to hang out. She's taking advantage of you. You need to let her know that it needs to stop. She doesn't respect you. She flirts with your boyfriend, uses your money, complains because you didn't spend more money on her. Let her know how you feel. If she throws a fit then you know what to do. There's enough people in this world to find another friend. It may be time to cut the ties. I hope everything works out for you.
7 :
She is not a Friend, She is the DEVIL'S MISTRESS!!!!!!!!!!!!! Run like hell, away from her!!!!!!!!!!!!
8 :
stop being friends with her
9 :
oh hell no. re read your post and how would you answer it if it was posted by someone else? yeah. don't be friends with her anymore.
10 :
She is a user. You dont need her in your life. She does no good for you. The only reason why you are her friend is because she is fun to hang out with but if she is flirting with your boyfriend and making you pay for everything how fun can she be? Does not make much since for you to be friends with her. I say drop her and find people that are fun to hang out with and will not use you for your money and time.
11 :
I wouldn't stop being her friend completely. Just stop hanging out with her so much. It seems like all she does is bring you down...emotionally and financially. Find better friends!
12 :
Friendships work both ways, and she isn't really doing much for you. She obviously doesn't respect you to the extent that you wish she would. All I have to say is that some people are worth taking into 2011 with you, but review your pro's and con's and if pro's out weigh the con then try again but do you think she will be a good friend in the future? Think if she really cares about your best interest of funding her lifestyle.
13 :
HELL NO: 1. She flirts with ya bf. This is asking for trouble. U never know wat could happen and I hope they don't have eachothers number 4 ur sake. 2. She doesn't care about u. If she's inconsiderate of ur feelings, how is she your friend at all? 3. She's a bum if she continuously takes your money and can't even pay u back anything. 4. SHE'S WHACK
14 :
How can you be best friends with someone like that!??? Seriously! From your list it's obvious she is manipulative and ungrateful! You deserve a better "best friend" then a person who doesn't appreciate your gifts and doesn't bring money with them when going out! Flirting with your boyfriend is a massive NO NO! AND not caring about your feelings is also a massive NO NO if you ask me. You should tell her to SUCK IT UP cos you deserve better treatment from your friends! My advice lovie! Ditch the bitch ;)
15 :
wow i wouldn't even consider her a friend to begin with dump her like a bag of rocks
16 :
Sounds like the beginning of a toxic friendship, talk to her about how you feel, if she doesn't listen or justifies her behaviour and does not acknowledge that some of the things she did were wrong then ditch her, you do not need to be a the company of someone who is ungrateful and takes advantage of you
17 :
Umm...that's not a friend. She is totally using you...so, yes, don't be freinds with her anymore...she just hangs around because she receives stuff from you without having to give anything in return. What a b*tch... Or, you can still be friends...just don't pay for anything on her behalf. If she asks why, tell her to suck it up...

World War III Possibility's?
World War III Possibility's?
I have been witnessing in the past few days the tension between Israel and Iran, later the tensions between North Korea and South Korea now after the ship sinking. I have been piecing clues that this could link us to another world war. I see that the US has been fighting in a war for 9 years now and another war could erupt with Israel. I see the clues are closely pertained to WWII, but instead of the world power being the USA in WWII i see them being like Britain in WWIII and the superpower instead of the US will be China in WWIII. The Israel war could be like Germany invading Poland and we are like Britain we will get involved and run out of money like in WWII Britain called the US for money instead in WWIII the US will be calling China for money and this will get China involved along will North and South Korea as i see it China will become superior after WWIII and the US like a Britain after WWII. WWIII i see it will become a nuclear war but if one nuke is launched everyone will nuke if we nuke Iran then we worry about China if we nuke China then we got Russia and North Korea to worry about either way i see it the USA needs to prepare and make wealth encase of a war to this magnitude but our government is very naive and cant see anything but whats is in front of them. We need a new government that will help this country create wealth and business to help us be a world power once again i may only be 17 but i realize this wish our government would

well yes there can be a world war 3 but this is the problem. US soliders are always trained(uk and maybe european countries). the problem is if US going to war with china, china since they have more people meaning soliders, so they can mess up alot to become as good as the US. next if britian were to go to war its most likely the US would help. also if this war uses nukes, it will not be a war it will be a nuke fight. cuz they can see the nuke coming so they will luach their nukes. one our government works under good power, weak power made by President Bush now Obama has to clean his shit up. but if US goes against stable nations it can win, but if like the veitnam war we will lose. also in times for great wars as WW2 it will make our economy boom. US was powerful in WW2 because britain was recovering from the bombing of the germans.
