An asian born in america without a citizenship is still asian, is he not?
I thought immigrants came over here for work, often getting the lowest paying jobs but they dotn care, because in comparing to whee they came from, its a hell of a lot better.
Or so i thought, im not american.
Oh by the way, DTBK you dont think australia has enough resources to become a power? We have the resources, were just not usign them, much like Rantent said above (except im pretty sure he was talking about america)
I dont think America needs nukes to fall apart. America is rotting from the core, you hear songs putting down the way the country is run, greenday and p!nk are just a couple of the many i could name of popular american artists that dont beleive in thier country (or the way it is run) anymore.
This has happened before in history. "Those who cant remember the past are condemned to repeat it." Someone once said this famous quote and its quite true. What happened to the Byzantines? To the Romans? The Hittites? This has happened many times before.
Rome use to be as big as america is now, but eventually they got so rich and greedy, that people in Rome began cutting off thier own thumbs so they were no longer elegible to fight in the army. Once Rome had lost its Army, it fell apart from the inside, losing its Commerce, and then the other rebels and Huns were able to just march in and take it. This is also why so much information was lost, and why the entire latin language is not known, because it was lost in the invasion and downfall of Rome.
I think the same thing will happen to America. They'll push to many countries, and it'll snap, and there will be riots and wars and whatever else. All i can do is predict.

If you are born here you are a citizen I believe, even if your parents are illegal and correct me if Im wrong there.
Also the latin languague is dead, yes, but not completely gone becuase Catholic masses use to be all in Latin. So they language Im sure can still be spoken.

We don't get things from the Chinese and other countries becuase OUR companies are just based in those countries, its not like a foriegn company or government is giving us most of our stuff.

LOL... plastic
America was perhaps the strongest, until we got dependant on every other country (maybe even in Africa...) So Americans think they are the strongest. They might be for a short term, but for long term, once the oil runs out in the Middle East, and every other place, well... they got all our money, and we are poorer than Africa. So what if Japan starts to sell, not first class, but second class things to us, and first class things to everyone else?, well America will soon be on the bottom. There are many other things that affect America, as in it's huge debt to almost every nation there is.... and its stupid and self-centered political party heads.

When oil in the middle goes out say good bye to the economies of the middle eastern countries that sell us and the world oil.
