world economics

[PYRO_JUNKY]

ooooooooooooooo look at my serious thread! (tired of them blank the person above you things >.>)

um, so what do yall think of the current economic situation of the world general.

[Crazed Dragon]

I like how The Canadian dollar is currently worth more then the US's and its still rising

[chaos master]

I like how things cost money. Bartering sucks. Like. I want to keep my stuff. You know? And I don't want your lamb chops as payment for work.

[Doregushin]

I like how english muffins arent in england.
And that birds have puppies in england.
England is screwed up amiriet?

[Holland Guy]

i like that i'm alive.

THANKS ALOT BUSH!

[Doregushin]

OMFG WIN!!

[Crazed Dragon]

OMFG WIN!!

Indeed, this fact giving me a very nice feel of satisfaction XD

[PYRO_JUNKY]

its all bushes fault, once he's out of office you will see our country start shaping up a little. hell, even his own father admited to being compleatly disgusted by what he's done to this country.

[Pouso-G]

Oh, I thought this was about the climatic situation...

Anyway 98% of the CO2 gas is produced by nature itself. 69% of that is produced by all water covered surfaces of the world. What do cars and industries have to do with that problem producing just 2% from the total? Am I ignorant?

And by the way the Euro is also stronger than the US$... :D

The whole world in peril situation is all bush's fault,but that is what happens when you elect a D- president.
Anyway,i dislike the world economy in general because it makes a world of"have's"and"have not's".

[Kameo]

Today the Dollar has reached a new depth compared to the Euro. It dropped down to 1,4532 USD for 1 Euro.


I'll spare U guys the rest of the economics. A lot has happened today, not so good for the US people ;) .....

[PYRO_JUNKY]

um, not true i saw in a movie for 0.50 in american money you can get a first class hotel room with a gourmet meal and butlers in europe.

whats that tell you?

[Crazed Dragon]

it tells me your an idiot, as that wasn't Europe they were in at that point'n'time, plus its also a movie.

[chaos master]

I'll give it a month to get back to normal.

[tatsuya1221]

I'll give it a month to get back to normal.

Yeah,as long as there is money to be made,they will figure something out.:(

[Kameo]

There's also movies about Santa Claus ;) ......

LOL. U can't print money endlessly, Ur valuta will lose all it's value if U'd do that.

Also, the financial market has more faith in the Euro than they have in the USD. The US is bankrupt already, it has so much debt, that, in average, every citizin has around -8500 USD. Talk about a large debt. :p

How many people R living in the US?? 350 million?? That's 350.000.000 X 8500 = a ****load of money U can't even dream of.

The only country that keeps the US going is China, but since China is copying all the technology they should produce for other countries, and make it their own, how long before they can manage on their own and no longer need the USA??

Any idea what happens to the US once China decides to have another business model with foreign countries, especially the US??

[Andy]

Not only that, Japan and China and all those other fun coutries are jacking the price of oil, gas and that crap up quite a bit (not that it was low to begin with BUSH), I mean $100 a barrel! Im in the wrong business. $4 a gallon (for gas) next summer, SCREW THAT!:mad2: :mad2: :mad2:
Were boned, that sll there is to it.

I agree with you and kameo wholeheartedly,this country(and the world,america's heartland feeds 30-50% of the world on it's own)has some very dark times ahead,and another question,what happens to the countries that the u.s. protects if we can't protect them anymore?It's all like dominos,either way,we're all in for some bad times,but i still don't get bush's reasoning here,how can you spend your money when it's not worth the paper it's printed on?

[cyap]

The united states is not going to be much longer the strongest in the world, while China and other asian countries are getting stronger the US goberment have lost all the credibility they had left. . . .
On the other hand, european union it´s lot´s more stable right now.

[chaos master]

Well, obviously the countries that are doing better than the US are small and smart. US is big and ugly and smells like car fumes. In the US, you can buy a house or a car without having nearly enough money and then pay it back over your entire lifetime. You don't really have a choice, though, so everyone does it. Throw that in with rich teenagers blowing 60% of the nations funds on cool cars and that second mansion by the lakeside, and everyone is screwed. The least we can do is be drunk when the barbarians take over.

[Holland Guy]

what, like New Zealand?

One day later:

1 Euro = 1.4667 USD

[Crazed Dragon]

One day later:

1 Euro = 1.4667 USD

Almost half a buck more, nice. I should check what the current difference between the Canadian dollar and American dollar is exactly, I just know its up XD

[Doregushin]

Almost half a buck more, nice.

Inoriet???

[Kameo]

Almost half a buck more, nice. I should check what the current difference between the Canadian dollar and American dollar is exactly, I just know its up XD

Just a little more than one cent. ;)

1.4667 USD - 1,4532 USD = 0.0135 or 1.35 cents :) .....

[chaos master]

If I ever go to Canada, I'll remember to take 3 extra dollars. Damn you.:( :(

But remember that US got the strongest army in the planet so is not goingo to be easy to chine be the most powerfull in the world, even when china has the bigest army in the world(300 millions:mad3: ). but maybe in the 2025 china is going to be stronger.
I think that this is going to be the century of the small countries like costa rica or bigger ones like chile, witch are the most develop countries in latin america, other ones like china and india are huge factories but the develop in this countries is going to wait some more years because the money dont go to every one

[Doregushin]

You double posted >.<

As i said(i think)when america goes down the whole world will probably drop into chaos,america protects alot of countries,if america goes down,what about japan?China wants revenge for world war 2,then there's taiwan,israel,and the former soviet republics:(
Anyway,i'm not even going to get into the food that america supplies to the world.

[Albert Wesker]

yes thats and we see i every day, china grows and th US goes down

[cyap]

[QUOTE=tatsuya1221;111158]As i said(i think)when america goes down the whole world will probably drop into chaos,america protects alot of countries. . . [QUOTE]


the question is ¿does contries want to be protected? just because the US don´t like the way they are beeing managed it doesnt mean they want to be invaded and destroy cause US feels like it

I dont agree whit coutries like Irak or Iran, but all the hate they feel to US has a reason. . .

there is a lot of crazy people in control of the most dangereuos wepon in the world, i just don´t think US is the solution, i think it´a a part of the problem. . .

[Albert Wesker]

bur remember that if taiwan or isarael are not protected by the US China and Iran, are going to invade those countries and that will be the beginig of a new war

[cyap]

if they want to kill each other it´s their problem, at the end no one ask US. . . i know it will afect the hole world, i just dont like US actitud, saying they are the "only hope" for the world

[otacon]

I agree, the economies of every country in the Western World, plus Japan, Singapore, and countries like that; depend on the American economy to do well.

If anyone lives in England, they will know there was a small banking crisis last month, when a medium-sized bank almost went under because people panicked and withdrew their savings due to American Banks taking back their short-term loans.
Luckily, we have a very economically interventionist government in the UK, so the Bank of England propped up the bank.

But if all this can be caused simply because of small fluctuations in the US economy, imagine what would happen if the US economy actually got into serious trouble.

[ridley]

I believe that Many people over-react when thinking of what will happen when America declines enough. Sure America is at peace with a lot of countries and the American industries e.g coca-cola , McDonalds .etc have thousands of branches in dozens of countries which means it has a lot of financial influence around the world but that doesn't mean that the entire world will be strewn into chaos if this were to happen.

America is the ricest country in the world and one of the largest which means it has a very large miltary but that doesn't neccessarily make it the most powerful. In the battle of Vietnam america outnumbered the enemy and had more resources and arms but they were defeated because the Vietnamese soldiers were more disciplined and more organised.

I'm not picking on America but i am saying that America isn't as dominant in the world as everybody believes.

I have seen such things in little things like for example, on a gamers website (Gamespot i believe) It had an advertisement for when they were going to test a new Football game (soccer to Americans) and it said that they were going to play America VS England and under it it had 'the ultimate grudge match', now these people are just assuming that this would be the ultimate grudge match because these two countries are of the most powerful in the world but they obviously don't know anything about football. England VS Argentina or England VS Germany would be the ultimate grudge match.

I suppose i'm just tired of hearing how 'great' America is, i personally couldn't care for it.

Feel free to comment on anything i just said.

You seem to have misunderstood what i said,america isn't that great(I'm american)but almost all of the world would suffer greatly if america fell soon,the only reason china hasn't moved on taiwan and japan is that they still need the U.S.,which if turned on them would crash their economy and put them on a path of starvation(80% of china's food comes from the u.s.),alot of countries rely on america,for better or worse,for protection,if america fell,the"buffer"that prevent's many countries from going crazy and trying to conquer each other would fall.
I'm not saying the apocalypse,i'm talking about WWIII,china and maybe russia are trying to expand,and let's not start talking about the oil crisis and the situation in the middle east.

i agree whit u, only the fact of calling them self "america" like theres no other countries in the hole continent. . . . guess it´s just a cultural thing

Hey Im from America and I also believe we think to high of ourselves. We think were the greatest in the world, when thats not true at all, I mean were, what 500 years old (give or take) and other countries like Iraq, China are 1000s of years old, and we talk smack, and try to rule them, makes no sense to me...

Well,we have to remember that every country that became an empire,has fallen,rome,persia,babylon,all fell,it's foolish to think the u.s. is immune to the rule.

If America were to somehow rule over Britain i would immeditely go and start some new country. American culture in Britain has brought Guns, drugs, gang warfare and all manner of stupid stuff like this.

Plus let's not forget that England once ruled the world (maniacal laugh)

[otacon]

Lol. Yeah, can you imagine Elizabeth ll trying to rule an empire?
Well, she'd be better than Bush, I guess.

[ridley]

When Bush goes to bed he checks under it to make sure there are no WMD's
