A world without America?

How Soon Is Now

Anyone ever wonder how we would fare without our big crazy loudmouth mates in the good old US of A?

When ya think about it a lot of what is wrong with society and our world these days stems from over there. There constantly up to some crazy **** and they seem to have the most extreme people when it comes to personality's and how they react to situations.

These days if there not shooting each other there offended by there own shadows !

Ya fair enough we would obviously be missing out on some great forms of entertainment over the years (Tv films sport etc) but how does everyone think the human race and society as a whole would do without them?

Even though I agree some crazy **** goes on there and as you say, very extreme, over emotional personalities, I think we in the west would still fare badly without Amerikay. However, those in other parts of the world will have a different perspective.

Anyone in the west who wants America done away with though, should abandon all forms of American product.

Thats the thing we are deeply influenced by them all over the world now so we would be missing an awful lot of things if they where to vanish off the face of the earth!

It tends to be more of a bad influence then a good one though.

The Germans has themselves beaten by advancing into Russia and Western Europe at the same time. They were stretched and broke.

Still the only country to drop a nuclear weapon on a civilian population and the war crimes they committed in Vietnam. Modern day Iraq and Afghanistan wars dont show them in a great light either. Maybe we would be better off.

More of a bad influence? Seriously? Think about all the music, films, TV shows, technology, literature etc that the us has contributed to the world. The amount of foreign aid that they pay yearly. You think the rest of the world would be better off without them?

Only been three tragic losses to the world which is the Macedonian Empire, Roman Empire and the British Empire.

They do a lot of good but any country with there power and population should be in fairness.

It's not really what makes them stand out to rest world though.

Yes, they are the "only" tragic losses to the world (the people brutalised under the British Empire, shur feck them losers) and that's totally relevant.

By not minding their own business since 1945, America has caused nothing but problems all over the world. Irish people are conditioned to think America is good but we would all be better off if they just concentrated on their own flawed country. Especially now that they are led by a petulant child.

I don't think America is totally good but not totally bad either. I'd prefer America having our back than not, even though I am opposed to many of its foreign policy operations.

Does anyone remember the talk show Jeremy Clarkson had, where he had a map of the world minus the USA in the background. And some of the low level controversy? And how that was reversed/hushed-up after 9/11? Is anyone as old as me, with memories of such unimportance?

You know what would be better though? A world without labels. No such thing as American/Mexican/Irish/Black/White/Gay/Straight... just... human. Nothing more, nothing less. Doesn't matter what you look like, what you do, who you love. Just... human. Wouldn't it be a better world? More tolerant? Less segregated? Maybe? Or do I need to go back on my meds again?

Such archaic perception of capitalism, and business entities. Corporations and companies of these sizes are not 'American'. They're international constructs that go where the money and talent is. Being American is just marketing hype for funding.

Pretty much most of the advancements in space, energy, robotics, automotive, computers and entertainment come from the US.

Sure if you look at tabloid news and celebrity rags the place looks like hell, but so does everywhere under that light.

The human race would be no where near as advanced as it is today if the USA never existed.

It's not just technology, wealth and culture but the Americans have an endeavor, entrepreneurialism and "can do" spirit matched nowhere else in the world.

Hence they are the most powerful country in the world.

Wouldnt it be great if these anti americans excercised their anti americaness instead of posting on the internet off a ipad or a pc or whatever.
Even better if they left and went to a country more inline with their views, obvious not on ryanair because it would be a bit hypocitical to use boeing aircraft. And they would have to avoid using a ford or gm made taxi to get to the airport. Pain in the ass really. They couldnt even make a fry before they left on a non stick pan.

The Americans are pretty good are turning people in to ashes too.

Don't understand this "We'd all be speaking German". Sure the Germans were defeated and they don't all speak English or Russian
