Look we are in for some interesting changes in the next 100 years, like everyone says its a hell of an interesting time to be alive, shit isn't boring thats for sure, things are fucking changing so fast you can feel it, Im gonna stay growing and smoking herb all the way through, but lately Ive been studying philosophy and psychology and it has ripped my mind way open. Man life is a trip, ICmag is the home to all the cool people on the internet, and Ive had a few beers. But look we have to be ready for whatever happens, this shit isn't the 1950's its 2011 and wow things are amazing, ya we have a bunch of fucking scum police,judges,lawyers, and government workers but their jobs are fucking toast pretty soon, those scumbags won't last long and their jobs are fucking over. Freedom is the outcome, wow what a journey, how long has it taken humans to grasp the concept of freedom and partying, having a blast and enjoying existence. This is the transition to freedom people, its a rough ride, but thats why its interesting, we need shit to collapse, look its isn't doing us any good anyway, people are fucking dumb, life sucks under governments, they are scumbags, we are all pissed. Don't worry we will come together and create a community guided by cannabis and mushrooms, one big party in the street all day all night. Yes things will collapse, but not as bad as you might imagine because all the ideas are out, how can anybody stop them, I'm still blown away by the time we are living in, man shit is on the edge. Don't worry people, just change your mind set to freedom and everything will fall in place, we don't need anything else but freedom. Yes we need to learn new skills of communication, independence, self reliance, relationships, everything needs to be enhanced with new knowledge but thats what makes it fun and interesting. Sometimes we forget we are in space. What does it mean to be in space?. Its some far out shit. Don't worry guys just learn how to make a bow and arrow and come together are humans. I think it will happen without any effort. The next 20 years are going to be interesting for sure.

the real sign of collapse
murder rates go up, way up, provided anybody has the incentive to make a record of the murders
so i think we've a ways to go, we could get there, but this is nothing yet
 
Every great Nation comes to an end. I was thinking shit if the banks got there bail out, I'm just gonna stop paying credit card bills and such. Screw it, when they call I will say "Hey Obama payed you guys off, leave me alone". Money being spent on paying of credit cards could be put towards FOOD and more AMMO. I see a collapse happening anyways....

This thread makes me think of that movie "Idiocracy". Maybe shit will collapse as natural selection guides stupid people to breed more than intelligent people and stupidity reigns supreme. Beef supreme, that is.

when has the US ever been a "super power" ???

nation built on debt
no one can afford housing
bad school system
corrupt goverment
everything made in the US is crap quality...
both parents working full time
higher education is worthless
low ranked health care system
tax money completely wasted


you know what the problem with americans is? they act like there number one, and there far from it.


I also love when people talk of gallons, while Europeans talk of liters, but you don't hear them bitching all day over gas, I guess it just shows what occupies the american mind


for the original question ,I think I answered it, no? US has never been ok, and never will be ok, until greed turns to harmony.. I think in this situation we are talking about worse getting worse ?

I believe that when the country is history (literally), the collapse will be credited to things that happened before the 2000's. We'll simply be viewed as the ignorant people who did nothing to fix things while everything went to shit. . .

nation built on debt ---- How you get there (super power) isn't completely relevant
no one can afford housing ----- not true. most of those people choose not to. Few actually can't.
bad school system ----- bad compared to the best? possibly. But generally bad? No.
corrupt goverment ---- at times it has been too much yes, but any and all governments will have a corrupted factor. Americans are working on this as we speak.
everything made in the US is crap quality ---- that just is not true at all.
both parents working full time ---- yeah I don't like this one. But I don't see what it has to do with being a super power.
higher education is worthless ---- LOLOLOL..
:laughing: sorry, but that comment is just so funny. You're joking right?

low ranked health care system ---- are you talking about medicare/medicade or talking about our practices in medicine in general? I can agree with you on the first one, but not if you mean our general practices.
tax money completely wasted ---- Completely? not so much. Way too much though yes.


you know what the problem with americans is? they act like there number one, and there far from it. How many Americans have you met? Sounds like you watch too much tv.

nation built on debt ---- How you get there (super power) isn't completely relevant Is that the same as saying "deficits don't matter"?

no one can afford housing ----- not true. most of those people choose not to. Few actually can't. Actually, we had an entire industry dedicated to sub prime lending. Even folks that otherwise qualified for fixed rate mortgages were steered toward sub prime.

bad school system ----- bad compared to the best? possibly. But generally bad? No. We continue to sink in math and science when compared to other developed countries.

corrupt goverment ---- at times it has been too much yes, but any and all governments will have a corrupted factor. Americans are working on this as we speak. Yup, we'll always have corrupt peeps. Keeping them out of elected office is key.

everything made in the US is crap quality ---- that just is not true at all. Yup, superficial moanings and groanings don't help much.

both parents working full time ---- yeah I don't like this one. But I don't see what it has to do with being a super power.

Too bad that 12 for-profit universities are testifying before congress over profits before education.

low ranked health care system ---- are you talking about medicare/medicade or talking about our practices in medicine in general? I can agree with you on the first one, but not if you mean our general practices. We're#37 on WHO's list of developed countries.

tax money completely wasted ---- Completely? not so much. Way too much though yes.

Way too much though yes. IMO, we have far too many special interests that lobby to thwart having to pay taxes.
