Is USA pretty much finished as a country?

Question

I mean honestly we aren't really number one in anything anymore and we are falling like a rock.

Answer 1

If you lot really knew your country and worked as one you could rule the world

apart form england (well at the moment you could as we have an ar**hole in charge)

Answer 2

I really hope not!!!

Answer 3

It is a pretty scary thought.  Unless we were to start electing some officials who actually work for the American people then it can only get worse.

s***w Obama and McCain and all these idiots running our country.  I say we clear them ALL out and put some people in who don't serve special interests.

Answer 4

thats Communist's talk

Answer 5

You better hope not. We still have the strongest economy in the world and any disruption with our economy will destroy the rest of the worlds. We are still the greatest benefactor to the world, we give more money, goods and material to impoverished countries than almost all other countries combined. We have the strongest military in the world and like it our not we have had the mantle of world's policeman thrust upon us. If the US crumbles so does the rest of the world.

Answer 6

we're def. first in obesity

Answer 7

Not with respect to the world, we still are wayyyyy in the lead, relative to where we were 10 years ago, yes.

Answer 8

Lets put it this way, if your hoping Obama gets elected, than yes, oh heck, yes anyways, we are wayyyy too far gone

Answer 9

we are down, and we've been down before, but until a foreign country actually puts their soldiers in this country, we'll never be entirely out of it.

Answer 10

i would say it is i mean i lived there almost all my life and now i live in sweden since 2 years and usa reputation is going down hill like in all the countries but i thhink maybe and i mean maybe it will go back up

Answer 11

There has never been a superpower in history that has been a superpower forever.  The Romans, Greeks and Mongols once ruled much more than we ever did.  The question is would you rather be part of a civilization while it is growing or declining?

To Carbin at the bottom.  I am comparing superpowers of history...............I don't need to compare Bush to the Romans to make him look bad, he does a great job of that himself.

Answer 12

oh yeah,if you vote for mccain. if you vote for obama it will get stronger and everything will be fine.

Answer 13

dead as a dog

Answer 14

I think so,unless if we get a good president that can turn things around but I don't like McCain or Obama.

Answer 15

this country is what you make of it. don't like it........ get out.

Answer 16

We're still number one in the number of burgers we can consume in a day.

Answer 17

This is amazing. It's amazing how people think a whole country - the most powerful, richest country - is going to disappear from the face of the earth because of a president they disagree with. I didn't hear these cries 8 years ago. Is a slight downturn in the economy your definition of a 'declining' country? Newsflash! Economies fluctuate. They always have and they always will. To say that a freaking credit crisis is going to eliminate this country is just mind-bogglingly stupid.

And you're comparing the states to Roman empire?! Come on, get a grip of history! Wise up! Pick up a book! Just do something. I just hope you only say this to put down Bush, 'cause I certainly ain't hoping you believe what you're saying yourself.

Answer 18

Yes, unless the American people wake up and break free from the two-party system.  If they did that, we might have a chance of fixing things.

Answer 19

That is why we need BARACK OBAMA!

Answer 20

Well if John McCain becomes president then my answer is, of course, that's a no brainer.

But if Obama's the next president, we might have some hope.

Answer 21

Well right now we are kind of in a though spot. We are in the middle of a war that has been going on for years. We have a huge political scramble for power. The economy is going down the drain. We are in a ressesion. Inflation, power, money, it all is going to be the downfall of the US of A. You see similatities between the fall of Rome and now. It's almost scary. But despite all this i do not think that we are done as a country. We are jsut going through some growing pains. In a few years it will get better.

Answer 22

If you feel that way, perhaps your calling is to do something constructive, rather than sit back and complaining. The lack of respect shown to others is one problem that spills into another. You want improvement? What are you willing to sacrifice for it?

Answer 23

You are falling for liberal propaganda in an election year, our country is as great as ever with a bright future. Most people are working that want a job, the problems we have can be fixed if our government cared to and perhaps one day they will. There is a reason we have an illegal immigrant invasion problem. A country is finished if they need to build a fence to keep people in not out. Check out reality not sound bytes.

Answer 24

In my opinion... yes.

But also.. i really don't care because i don't like america... i like Americans, just not the country. Are president, are gov't, politics... are stupid.

And if Obama becomes president... then we are fukced.

Answer 25

That's ludicrous.  If you are American, you need to study history and see what our country has endured.  Sheesh.

Just when I thought all the kids had gone outside to play.

Answer 26

what areyou talking about . im one of the senators in the legislative system and everything is going fine
