The Problem with "some posts here"- Too many Doomsayers around here

[SUBMAN1]

I don't beleive that I have ever seen in one place so many Doomsayers. An example, every year since I have been born there has been at least one major book predicting the downfall of the USA in the 70's, in the 80's, in the 90's, and in the 00's. Now I'm seeing the crash of the stock market, or whatever. How many people here know that there are so many checks and balances in the stock market these days that it is IMPOSSIBLE to have another Great Depression or the way it played out? Yes, you could have the decline of the US of A, but it cannot be an overnight thing like it was in the 30's. It will be a long slow gradual decline if it could happen at all.

If a Great Depression were possible, 9/11 would have caused it. Nothing happened. THe market dropped as expected, but then made a massive reversal in the following months and gained it all back and then some.

There is only one real way to knock out America quickly - Nuke war.

Now can we get back to some constructive General Thread topics like BEER???!!! I'm so bored with all the Doomsayer crap.

PS. There is something to be said for the Doomsayer authors - they are smart because you bought their book and they got rich off it! :p

Read any financial thread or war thread or anything of that nature. You will find your answer.

PS. A little hint - read half of the GT forums!

Companies will always try to sell more and pay less.

Sell more and pay less means that sooner or later people will stop buying
because they have baught all they can and are being paid as little as they
can be.
The crashes, at one scale or another, that have charicturised the last 150+
years of economics is not a trend that we have any reason to belive is over.

Subman, subman, subman, I see you have some screws loose in your aluminium helmet. When Hillary is elected (by coup-de-ta) the US will be desolved and will be absorbed by the EU... and beer will be banned. To solve the immigration problem, Primier Clinton will sell Texas and Cali-for-nia back to Mexico. ...after we adopt the metric system. So, if I were you, I'd just go buy my lil' green suit and smile.

...or go buy lots of ammunition.

Problem is, this is not me saying 'it' is going to happen, so this topic is rrelevant. I give you kudos for your try though!!!

Big difference is the words try vs. the words its going to happen. Next...
