I believe there are no forever empire in the world, but what do you think would be the trigger that causes the collapse of US?
China. Sorry to disappoint you, but Afghanistan won't be responsible.

The steady erosion of personal freedom (and its requisite converse, personal responsibility) will soon eradicate the US. "...a photo album is like Life, but flat and stuck to pages." - Shog9

If they don't control the increasing level of obesity amongst their citizens, the humongous collective weight might crack the Earth's crust around the North American region, and the land would collapse in by maybe 5-6 inches. Of course Canada and Mexico would also collapse in by about the same number of inches, since they are in the same region, and have pretty much the same density of fast food chains. Does that answer your question? :rolleyes: Regards, Nish

The moment we realize that we are in fact an empire.

A majority of ignorant voters. People that start writing code immediately are programmers (or hackers), people that ask questions first are Software Engineers - Graham Shanks

[Jumps on Soapbox] It already has. The political system remains, but the foundation of beliefs in personal freedoms and little-to-no government intervention in daily lives has been dying for the last 75 years. You can thank the ACLU for destroying freedom ...

We already have that. For the last 3 Presidential elections, we have had people blaming/giving credit to the President for job creation/loss, the state of the economy, and government spending. Anyone who paid attention in high school government class would realize that the President has next to no direct control over any of those issues, yet they were all big issues in the elections. And sadly, that is just the tip of the iceberg ...

It was arrogance and a lack of respect. For our own citizens, of course - not all those other, less-important countries. :rolleyes:

Yes sir... and the complete abandonment of the US Constitution since 1937, Thank you Roosevelt for forcing the New Deal through with threats of court stacking. Where is the association of states that have the power? Why is everything controlledc as "Regulating interstate commerce"? And go back to 1776 definitions of the words not the evolved meanings. Regulated means to make regular.

Some thoughts ... US Dollar is losing ground to other currencies. US Stock exchanges are under enormous pressure. Rising sea levels due to gradual vanishing ice caps. (New York flooded like Venice). San Andreas Fault causing Earthquake that destroys the American Semi-Conductor and Computing Industries. Caldera that is Yellowstone blows its top big-time.

Those industries left California a few years ago. Not because of earthquakes, but because California's business laws are completely absurd.
