    I have lost count of the number of times I have passed out and woken up in a different country. It got to the point when I wouldn't even know what city I was in each night.
    Then I discovered that I could skank a map in the morning and 9 times out of 10 it fitted the city and country I was standing in.

    I woke up in someones home looking at a dead lobster in a fish tank. I don't think that is economic unless someone has a link for a refund.

    That depends on your definition of superpower.

    No, next

    we discussed it in my Politics class (and my teach whose somewhat a genius...ex MOD....bloody brainy) says they're teetering on the edge but not quite there yet.

    I agreed based on evidence and definitions of "superpower" and shit

    Economically, as far as production is concerned, China kick fuckin arsehole. Thye have a large workforce, who work for next to nothing, with a large amount of people in industrial work.

    Millitarily, they have some might to say the least....

    China being a superpower is debatable, its not a definite yes or no



    Though they're recent purchase of the entire continent of Africa was a top notch move

    They're making such economic gains because they're playing a catchup in capital accumulation. But you can't keep that up forever.

    That would explain just how high the growth rates are at the moment, but with such a large workforce working for so little money, they will continue to be a big player.


    And i agree with hughs last post

    except that you can't keep cheap labour forever. as capital accumulates, so do wages.

    The Chinese do not smile in public from the videos I have seen and look at cameras superstitiously, there is no way any culture can ever be a superpower that is immersed in emotional ignorance. Also a practice in the cities of putting kittens in boiling oil to bring them out still alive and whinning to take home and eat is inhumane. The Chinese culture exhibits great peace and harmony, as we do from its' art and music, but no group of people will ever be more than a token influence on other countries that does not respect the love of lessor animals and children towards it. The people of China range from the very worst to the very best. My idea of a superpower is a group of people from all over the world united by love. We are the superpower not contained by invisible political lines of control.

    It is fortold by vision that you would call myth but is history, that brethern united by love will exist only a little over 5000 years more. Then, there will only be the conflicting type of people left until the end of the earth, and these will all be incinerated to gas. Or maybe it is the other way around, the conflicting type who get along enough with each other to conflict with different groups will cease to exist in spirit in a little over 5000 years. 4-5 days of visions, much fuzziness, to much to remember all the words of all living peoples imaginations gathered to entertain me.

    Here are some words to consider. It is true that all peoples living imaginations decide what the world will be like in the future. It is also true that takes only one great man or woman, and there has been more than one in history, that have changed the future of the entire world by their deeds. I give no great credence to my interpretations of 50,000 visions and their words, for I have faith there will be more women and men in the future who change the world for the better by their deeds.
