rhys 0 #52 November 30, 2005 QuoteI don't think you understand how little sense this makes if you understand the culture the culture of busines? culture is culture, business is business. if the chinese started singing and ranting about how they are number 1 and the best and all the shit you seppos keep going on about then. the u.s. would have something to say about it. but they don't, you do and they just keep quiet and feed you the millions/billions and charge you the interest, now that is good business. it is a bit like a waiter taking the shit from the loud obnoxious seppo to get the tip at the end."When the power of love overcomes the love of power, then the world will see peace." - 'Jimi' Hendrix Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mike111 0 #54 November 30, 2005 Agreed there certainly would be dead agaist an alliance. Although say there was a big "what if" and china poltically threatened that country, their policy might be forced to change. It is hard to know who would alliance, as this issue is fairly recent in peoples minds i guess compared to say with Iraq and the alliajces there Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Botellines 0 #55 November 30, 2005 QuoteIf china became too powerful, then the USA could ally with other countries to challenge them. That might equal the power.

Slink2 0 #59 December 3, 2005 China owns the USA right now! Just look around your house. Seriously, Pick up anything...where is it made? Funny how the biggest CAPITALISTIC country in the world relies on the most oppressive for it's economic survival. This should set the next American revolution into motion. Capitalism has run it's course...thanks to greed. America is no longer...uumm...America, don't go die for it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mr2mk1g 10 #63 December 6, 2005 Why will this inevitably come down to a shooting match? That was the attitude that caused the First World War - nothing more! The likelihood is the whole thing will be an economic battle... one decided by who can build the most TV's and waffle irons. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Frenchy68 0 #64 December 6, 2005 Exactly. And people build things because... other people BUY them! If O'Reilly was brave enough to boycott visiting France, I am sure his followers would find it in them to stop buying TVs, waffle irons, and all the cheap goodies so uselessly essential to modern society.

SpeedRacer 1 #65 December 6, 2005 Quote you seppos keep going on about then.. what's a 'seppo'? sounds derogatory "Seppo" or also, "Seppie" is Cockney rhyming slang. It works by coming up with a rhyme for the word you want to say, then using a word that commonly goes with it. Like referring to your friend as "my china" Friend = Mate Mate rhymes with Plate. As in china plate. With Seppie it works like this: American = Yank. Yank rhymes with tank. As in septic tank. So from that you get "seppie" or "seppo". You could do the same thing with a New Zealander. New Zealander = Kiwi. Kiwi rhymes with PeeWee. As in PeeWee Herman. So a New Zealander would be a "Herman."
