Some people have an unresolved inability to see the difference between a linguist pretending to be a political scientist, and a psychologist. Quote
ScottSA Posted July 12, 2007 Report Posted July 12, 2007 I am not the only person on earth that realizes that the USA's hedgemony is quickly coming to an end. I am not the only person on earth who is "anti-American foreign policy" either. Most of those people don't repeatedly mis-spell 'hegemony.' Some of them even know what they're talking about. Quote

His linguistic theories are very interesting and are only now slowly coming under fire - it will be interesting to see what happens in the near future as the Chomsky consensus begins being challanged. He has certainly made great contributions to his field of expertise. I assume that is what you recommend I read. Because the rest of his writings are on par with Deepak Chopra's spiritualist musings.

AndrewL Posted July 12, 2007 Report Posted July 12, 2007 Who do I think would be a better replacement for the US Hedgemony? How about a coalition of countries from around the world? Not the UN, a revamped UN perhaps. See I am fair. But history has shown that when there is no clear super power, wars ensue. Actually history shows that war ensues no matter what. Andrew Quote

M.Dancer Posted July 12, 2007 Report Posted July 12, 2007 Hedgemony: Noun The doctrine that states that the regions or spheres on interest should be hemmed in and bordered by topiary and briars. First used by George (Shrub) Bush. Quote RIGHT of SOME, LEFT of OTHERS If it is a choice between them and us, I choose us
sunsettommy Posted July 13, 2007 Report Posted July 13, 2007 Ok then we stop protecting Canada,Mexico,Cuba,Japan and most of Europe. Call the American troops home and let all you guys fend for yourself. LOL Quote Visit GLOBAL WARMING SKEPTICS

LOL I like this idea....give 'em what they want...all US military forces back on US soil. They can guard the Canadian and Mexican borders for illegals instead. Then just sit back and watch the "fun". Funny, but they bitched and moaned for US intervention at other times. Quote Economics trumps Virtue.
Drea Posted July 15, 2007 Report Posted July 15, 2007 (edited) First good idea I've ever seen you post Bush-Cheney dude! I would love to see the border lined with your military. Perhaps then the guns and cocaine would finally stop flowing northward. And it might even intimidate those stupid Canadians from cross border shopping. I live within 50kms of the border and no, I will never, ever cross. Aren't you glad LOL Edited July 15, 2007 by Drea Quote ...jealous much? Booga Booga! Hee Hee Hee

I live within 50kms of the border and no, I will never, ever cross. Aren't you glad LOL Big deal...80% of Canadians live within 100km 150km of the border (I wonder why?). Lot's of 'em scrambling to get service from Passport Canada to cross the border legally. The others just skip that step....last year they caught a Canuck trying to crash the border on an ice floe raft (Niagara River). Why do all these people want to get into the evil USA...LOL!

Aren't you glad LOL If their mililtary lined up on the border, Canada's economy would soon fail since one of the three legs that hold it up is marijuana commerce. And notice how our high dollar is concerning Canadian economists? That's because it's hurting our legal exports, 80% of which are bought by Americans. Edited July 15, 2007 by sharkman Quote

Marijuana is one of the three legs of the economy? Where is that written? As for the rising dollar, it is rising not because our economy is doing poorly but because it is doing poorly. Even with it rising, jobs continue to rise. Quote

With the pot comment I was being sarcastic, but if the export of pot was suddenly stopped Stateside, it would indeed have a sizable impact on our economy as all of the druggies would stop buying large ticket items. I'm not sure the meaning you are conveying with your second comment, but do you disagree that economists are concerned about a high dollar? Quote

Yes, many times in the early 1990's. My boyfriend and I would go across all the time. No problemo -- but that was then...today, your country has changed so that people are no longer wanting to take the chance on being "detained". Your country is going down the tubes. Realize it. Try your hardest to FIX it. Although I think America's reputation around the world is so tarnished that no amount of polishingis going to change it. Poor fools voted for the worst administration possible -- TWICE! I shake my head. Talk to some real Americans (not the swaggerin', preachin', warrin', loudmouth minority) on the Democratic Underground. There are realistic people who KNOW how badly the USA is doing and are TRYING to do something about it. America is now known as the terrorist of the world. That reputation will no go away any time soon. Just like Canada's reputation of being socialist Trudeau lovers will never leave us... you will (for many many years to come) be known as Bush warmongers. Quote ...jealous much? Booga Booga!

Nonsense....the USA was ranked #3 in the world as a tourist destination for 2004 (Canada wasn't even in the top 10), and that doesn't include the people crashing the border legally or illegally from Canada and Mexico for opportunity in "warmonger" America. http://www.infoplease.com/ipa/A0198352.html Quote Economics trumps Virtue.
