Is the United States succeeding, failing, or evolving?

Question

alan it can't make any sense out of that

Answer 1

all of the above.

Answer 2

It is evolving. Times are changing, which doesnt necessarily mean we are failing. Look at the 60's. Everyone thought the riots and protests would bring an end to America. We are going through very tough times, all we need is a little faith.

Answer 3

Some of what you see going on is a repeat. In the 1890s called the "g*y 90s" lol everyone got hyped up because of the turn of the century, lots of overbuilding, inventions, etc and the same thing happened this turn except Bin Laden dropped a bomb on the celebration. So, now the reality comes back that nothing has actually changed and we will hit a similar depression to that of 100 years ago. The US has always looked up to its parent Europe but never finding the love that it so wanted has had to live in a sort disfunctional family situation. Thus, finding shelter in the arms of another the East seems to be the friend that most likely will embrace the US in the future.

Answer 4

Failing, miserably. Why? Because it bases almost all of its foundations of existence on the two greatest evils in the world; money and religion. A plutocratic government which bases its laws and moral principles on a fictional divine entity while ignoring the damage it does to the world that supports it and the countries that are 'below' it can not and will not last much longer. I just wish our country would stop following the US down its dead end path.

Answer 5

Failing. I love America, but like all great  civilisations since the world began, the US is on a downward trend and declining at an ever faster rate. But don't worry, all civilisations come to an end sooner or later, the US is no different. It has had its day in the sun. The best predictor of the future is to look at what happened in the past.

Keep smiling.

Answer 6

evolving. in a way i kind of compare it to the french revolution. they had high inflation. unemployment, and just over all bad economy. that the united states is going through. it will get better soon but not before something dramatic happens i think. like they say history repeats itself and its happening. the great depression all over again plus the way the economy is dropping so fast i doubt people will notice how fast it actually happened. besides I'm just praying that the united states stops helping every other country and starts helping itself because when i get older my generation is going to have to pay for this generations s***w ups. just like how every other generation before me has had to do for their idiotic government when they were in office.

Answer 7

We are succeeding in some areas, failing in other areas, -  creating an overall process of evolving.

Answer 8

Failing, but hopefully evolving.

We have failed our constitutional vision. Our economy is sabotaged by bad policy. Our educational system has been crippled by the sheer laziness encouraged in America's youth by the culture of self-gratification.

But as I say, maybe tripping over all these roots will teach us how to walk better.

Answer 9

The US and its citizens loved the position of number one on the planet, their bullying went without answer.  However, it is estimated that they will be relegated to fourth position within two or three decades as China, India and Europe pass them initially and then Africa will probably pass the US and some of the above when it is released from its burden of debt.  The dollar is already being replaced as the currency of exchange by the Euro by several countries, not least of which is China.  The USA will soon be fourth on a planet of large nations, which is exactly what many conspiracy theorists have been saying for many years, to unending laughter.  Who's laughing now?

Answer 10

what i believe is that the united states is failing. it's basicly coming down to another great depression. we are in a recession but bush deny's to call it that. Another point is that if obama and hilary do not win the election of 08 McKane is going to keep us in the war. Do you have any clue what that will do to us? Gas prices are ridiculous as it is. were just going to have to wait untill it's all over. either in 2012 or whenever we pass away.

Answer 11

Right now, we are failing because our ecnomy is going to h**l...

but overall i think we are evolving

Answer 12

Well we are so worried about making sure evey other country is being taken care of and forgetting about our own country, that soon all of our living standards are going to drop.  We will no longer be the "big guys on the block"

Answer 13

failing miserably
