Androvski said:The most important change is that we cease to be bloodsucking capitalist pigs!I'm not just having a dig at the US,that applies to the UK and others too.
cnredd said:But if the US wasn't around anymore, Europe would fall to terrorism in about 20 minutes.
Thinker said:That's the sort of statement that convinces many people that the USA is
probably the most arrogant and self-centred nation on Earth.
cnredd said:<long, tedious rant>
Thinker said:Your words prove my point.
cnredd said:I think some Europeans don't understand that the extremist Muslims are against ALL of Western Society...The US just happens to be the biggest representation, so we're the ones that gets slammed for it.
Arch Enemy said:As many of you know, no Civilization has lasted more than a couple of centuries. I believe that all sources point to a time when the modern day civilizations change.
I would like to see what you all think this change would be like, if any.
Napoleon's Nightingale said:Um..actually France has lasted since the year 771 (if you start counting from the first king)...the monarchy itself lasted more than 1,000 years. France is more than a few centuries old.
cnredd said:Arch's comment doesn't(at least, I don't think) refer to a geographical area's existence...Just the political climate or existence of a government.
Currently, the US is the oldest "same-style" government in the world(I believe). France would come in next with their version of the constitution(Napolean almost plagerized the US version word-for-word).
Napoleon's Nightingale said:I chose to refute that..the monarchy of Lichtenstein has been around far longer than the US. Besides..the longest standing government system was in my opinion the Hapsburg government. Are you saying the oldest democratic-republic form of government??
cnredd said:Possibly...I don't know what the hell I'm saying!:doh :lol:
I'm only trying to interpret Arch's comment..."no Civilization has lasted more than a couple of centuries"
You went geographical(Your comment about France)...I may not know EXACTLY what Arch was referring to, but I think I can safely say that geography wasn't it.
Maybe Arch will swing by and clear it up...
nkgupta80 said:arch is probably referring to cultural/political/geographical unity in an area. Thats what civilization is isn't it? but culture itself most of the times lives on. Its only the political/geographical unity that can be destroyed.
