The European Union is a monetary giant, on the verge of crushing the American economy. The countries involved in the European Union will slide away from the issue with false support of the American economy, however, behind the scenes will do whatever it takes to destroy the dollar and usher in a one world currency. The world needs a one world currency to elevate the marxist socialistic countries to the top of the heap, all the while deminishing the strength and democratic values of America, the greatest democracy ever established. The democracy of America is not a perfect democracy, throughout our history we have made mistakes, however, no where on earth have our mistakes destroyed a currency, a government, and or a people. We have existed over the past 250+ years as a super power because we have embraced democracy, freedom, and tolerance. We wonder why Obama is shaking hand with terrorists, next we'll be using euro's as currency and wearing united nations uniforms. God has left!!!

Hmm. I sense a political science fail. Marxism-socialism is for all intents and purposes dead. There is no Commie conspiracy -- it was your freewheeling regulations-be-damned style that fucked your economy up.
Take a look and see how many Canadian banks have failed. Oh that's right, not one has. 'Cause we have sensible banking regulations.
ROTFLOL...
Is Jim annoyed that a competitor (namely the Euro or ) has now sprung up to the U.S Dollar for a potential Global "one world" currency...?
Incedentally, The U.S did not become a superpower, until after World War II, which had the result of clobbering the European "superpowers" such as the U.K & France, economies & infrastructure...
Please, go to the local bookstore. Tell them you need a book about something called "World History". Don't worry, they should know what it is, even if you don't. I also suggest you ask for a dictionary.
Take these books home, and read the one about history. If you come across any words you don't know, look them up in the dictionary. If you still don't understand, consider talking to someone about these ideas, or reading another book after you finish the first one.
Once you actually have some sort of idea about the world and how it works, then you may speak.
Actually, I'd be more concerned abouy China if I were you, jim.
They have bought americain debt for so long, they now have the power to turn the dollar into the cent just by... selling all that debt.
And since _they_ have the industrial power, who do you guess would be hurt more?
"no where on earth have our mistakes destroyed a currency, a government, and or a people."
Iraq would like to have a word with you.
Hey Jim, the native Americans would like a word with you about your assertion that you have never destroyed a people.
They, and all right thinking people, disagree with you.
no where on earth have our mistakes destroyed a currency, a government, and or a people.
Yes.
America has never brought down any governments, ever.
*struggles to keep a straight face*
Well, I was never all that much for the EU, but if we're going to get cool uniforms and conquer the world, count me in.
History, learn some.
You have not been a super power for 250+ years, maybe around 100 years. And you allmost made the Native Americans extinct, isn't that destroying a people?
Does it matter if the world currency is the Dollar or the Euro?
And, by the way, India is the biggest democracy, maybe not the greatest, but they have had more female leaders than the US of A.
What's destroying the economies is the reckless buying and selling of stocks and options with fictional values. And the humungous greed of the top CEOs. In all the world, not just US or EU.
"no where on earth have our mistakes destroyed a currency, a government, and or a people."
The Native Americans, Japanese, Vietnamese and Iraqis would all like a word with you.
Protip: The EU is sailing ahead of us because of idiots like you.
Plus, the US was not a superpower the second it was founded. It also isn't 250 years old, much less 250+ years old. Furthermore, nearly all European nations have some form of same-sex marriage or civil unions. How's that for freedom and tolerance?
Please quit perpetuating the stereotype of Americans as willfully dumb and ignorant.
Edit: This was me, shykid. Forgot to type my name in. Oops. xD
Go look up Marxism, you're embarassing yourself.
And how would socialized health care and aid for the poor equate to "God has left"? That would be quite the opposite, I would think.

And that's just for starters.
When the US economy turns into a Monopoly game for dangling parasites, played by spoiled-Texas-brat rules; when the profits of major US corporations just kind of mysteriously disappear; when the US wage-earners are marginalized/disenfranchised to become pure credit slaves; when the faux n00z propaganda whores attribute the problems to the people who are trying to fix them...
Jim, I really want to see you and your pathetic ilk beg and snivel to your European masters.
1. We have been a "super power" since the end of WWII, maybe since the end of WWI if you want to push it.
2. The EU can never surpass the US economy. Let me restate that - NEVER. The pure geopolitical truth is that North America is the center of the world in that it has access to both the Atlantic and Pacific trade routes and the US is the most powerful North American Nation State. No amount of right wing, or left wing, political spin is going to change that fact.
3. You are a douchebag.
@JohnTheAtheist: "The EU can never surpass the US economy. Let me restate that - NEVER."
Er, John? It already has, the combined GDP of the European Union is larger than the US's and Europe accounts for more than 31% of the world economic output compared with the US's 25%.
@JohnTheAtheist, DavidB, dg: The point about higher GDP per capita is quite valid (and John's point about easy access to both the Pacific and Atlantic has some relevance to that) but the primary reason for its current economic primacy (present crises notwithstanding) is that the US has a huge amount of natural resources per capita compared to those of Europe, plus its industrial capacity was enhanced -- initially in a very centralist fashion! -- by the Second World War rather than demolished by it. Europe's resources have been exploited on a significant scale for millenia but the North American population has only in the last century started to make inroads on their available resources. We could argue about societal motivations or economic policies favouring entreprenurial and innovative businesses, but the bottom line is that physical resources have to be cheaply, reliably and easily available for value to be added to them. Of course we've seen just recently exactly what happens when non-physical resources are hugely (and misleadingly) overvalued and sold on....
In case anyone thinks from that that I am an advocate of American capitalism, I'd like to make it clear that I am both a European and a left-winger. I'd also like to make it clear that in Europe only Belarus and Moldova are anything like the 'marxist socialist countries' that jim thinks dominate the EU (even though neither country is actually a member!). jim is an ill-informed borderline paranoid with a little too much nationalistic fervour for his own (or anyone's) good.
Per capita, the US's GDP lags quite a long way behind Norway, Qatar and Luxembourg. While per acre, the rest of the world is a long, long way behind the EU. So the size of your economy depends a lot on how you measure it.
Though GDP is commonly cited as the economic indicator of a country (or region), what is often used is PPP (or more properly GDP-PPP) or "purchasing power parity", which takes into account the differences in the standard of living in different countries. A country with half the per-capita GDP of the US but where everything cost a quarter of the equivalent product if bought in America has, in effect, twice as rich a population as the US.
Even when PPP is taken into account, the US lost the top spot to the EU in 2007.
Personally, I think this is only a short term thing. American companies typically spend twice as much (at least) on R&D as European ones. In the long term, this should make the US economy stronger than the EU's if the trend is not reversed.
"no where on earth have our mistakes destroyed a currency, a government, and or a people."
1. Native Americans
2. Gold (it was a form of currency- world currency actually)
3. Afganistan
4. Iraq
5. Vietnam
6. Korea (kinda sorta)
Hint: the "one world currency" you're so worried about having? Right now it's the DOLLAR
The leaders of Europe couldn't run a conspiracy to destroy America to save their lives. The French would demand to be in charge, the Germans would get all iffy about the bureacracy, the Italians would generally be useless, and the Brits would disagree with everything walk out half-way through because those bloody continentals are trying to control everything. And this isn't even mentioning how Greece and Turkey would refuse to cooperate, and the eastern european countries would jump ship at the inevitable alliance with Russia.
Face it, this conspiracy was doomed from the start.
"...however, no where on earth have our mistakes destroyed a currency, a government, and or a people."
Tell that to the Native Americans.
Well, the few that are left, anyway.
I have a fucking laundry list of countries we have royally fucked.
Iran
Guatemala
Chile
Vietnam
Iraq(twice)
and those are just the ones we have more or less admitted.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
