No, if they become a superpower for real, it won't be because of ties with us. It will be because they have over a billion citizens.Our "strong ties" with them are what allowed them to become a superpower.

So we should open our borders to fill our country with a population to match our Chinese rivals?No, if they become a superpower for real, it won't be because of ties with us. It will be because they have over a billion citizens.
Well, immigrants and new babies will definitely help grow our economy in the long run, but that's not really the point. I'm not entirely sure why you feel the need to go there.So we should open our borders to fill our country with a population to match our Chinese rivals?

Not divorced. Been delayed for the 4th time and the judge recused himself. Starting over. Attorneys sure are expensive.
Why don’t you address the liberal hypocrisy? Seems some NBA players aren't outraged over slave labor. Isn’t it surprising the race of the players that are okay with slave labor and the race of the player with the guts to stand up against it?
I have a family that loves me, I have hobbies I enjoy, I have enough money to feel secure, and I don't feel the need to go online and pretend to be an asshole so I can forget that no one who actually meets me face to face likes me, and fool myself that my presence on a forum makes up for the waste of a real life.If you know so much and everyone else is always wrong, why aren’t you successful?
fair enough goat, enjoy your life time is short.I have a family that loves me, I have hobbies I enjoy, I have enough money to feel secure, and I don't feel the need to go online and pretend to be an asshole so I can forget that no one who actually meets me face to face likes me, and fool myself that my presence on a forum makes up for the waste of a real life.
I'm successful in all the ways that matter to me, Lucy. Good luck on your own journey.
Yes, it is. Short, and hard, but also beautiful. We should be glad to be alive, and constantly in awe that we are.fair enough goat, enjoy your life time is short.
Another stupid move by Trump, but Sanders was against it too and then HRC claimed to be against it as well. Unless she was lying, it was going to be killed.

So you believe the Chinese billion citizens will make China a super power as per your previous post. I’m down with that. So we cannot possibly produce a catch up with our current native birth rates. So we should import a population that is procreative and thus expanding our population base.Well, immigrants and new babies will definitely help grow our economy in the long run, but that's not really the point.

I’m down with that , but please put some tracking into the plan so we are not subsidizing criminal drug and human trafficking. I’d be ok with with a household accepting immigrants for housing and support with a serious tax credit .
The Chi-Coms are a superpower. We are in catch-up or keep-up mode.@Earlierthanlater Not sure what's going on with your quotes...
But my point was that we are not the reason China is in position to possibly become a superpower. If they do reach that status, their manpower will get them there, and our engagement with them will have nothing to do with it.
We are already a superpower. The superpower. We don't need to follow China's model to become one, because we already are one. That said, a booming, growing population may be just what we need to remain one, so if you want us to import or give birth to a shit ton of people, I'm cool with that, from a purely patriotic standpoint.
India has a billion citizens. China's massive ascent began when Bush and Clinton went from the yearly MFN status to letting them into the WTO. Then our corporate world wanted to get over there because of their population. And we basically gave away trade secrets for access.No, if they become a superpower for real, it won't be because of ties with us. It will be because they have over a billion citizens.
Most problems on Forums would be solved with folks identifying themselves.

They are an aspiring superpower. They are not a superpower. If we went to war with them now, a lot of people would die on both sides, but after the dust settled, the United States would still exist, and China would not.The Chi-Coms are a superpower. We are in catch-up or keep-up mode.
One of my golfing buddies has a young attorney daughter making lots of money getting Chinese companies who forge American products.The Chinese don't make stuff, they steal it. They then turn around and use that against you. Dealing with them in the manner we have was one big ass bipartisan mistake.
If they can stick a hypersonic nuclear projectile into your next patio barbecue party…and the USA has no defense…then I l think qualifies as a superpower. Imagine if they prioritize non-neighborhood bbqs as a target.They are an aspiring superpower. They are not a superpower.

They are developing hypersonic weapons that we had a decade ago and don't actually think are that important. I'm not worried.If they can stick a hypersonic nuclear projectile into your next patio barbecue party…and the USA has no defense…then I l think qualifies as a superpower.

Scruples.If you know so much and everyone else is always wrong, why aren’t you successful?

I don't know what that means. I'm not worried the Chinese are developing this weapon. We already did it, and we have plenty others. I don't feel threatened.And so you are cool with their reach, trajectory control and blast power?
Well if you dont understand the fundamentals- then why are you arguing. It’s ROTC 101.I don't know what that means. I'm not worried the Chinese are developing this weapon. We already did it, and we have plenty others. I don't feel threatened.

Farking woke cancel culture profs took it off the syllabus.Do they teach MAD in ROTC101?
I’m not sure if this a reference to my previous posts , but how would any one person have any clue about another’s persons intellect? Childish..na na na yo yo is not like me stuffBecause that is his intellectual level?

It’s the standard that republicans apply to everyone else.If my life goes to shit maybe I'll go to 24/7 outrage mode. But as of right now I can't muster up a flying f@ck about this.
I understand the fundamentals and I taught 101 and I don’t understand what point you’re trying to make. Are you saying China can defeat us in a conventional war now?

Hard to believe you got divorced.
Speaking of freeing you should try divorce. I don't think it's the divorced guys making it insufferable.There's a lot of Coolerites that are... and it probably explains why this place is an insufferable shit show
Break the vow of "til death do we part".Speaking of freeing you should try divorce. I don't think it's the divorced guys making it insufferable.

Loyal to a message board.
Makes perfect sense.
Louis CK on divorce (great comedian, btw). I know, I know, he was cancelled.Weighing Hell with living on for another 50 years with the ex.
It wasn't a hard choice.
I loved his show.
He's not gone. Like Ansari he's on his way back up through the muck.Louis CK on divorce (great comedian, btw). I know, I know, he was cancelled.
Rated R
I thought some of his bits were outstanding. He tells a story about his daughter getting bit by a wild pony in Italy that cracks me up. Also, his stories about how some hipster worker in a coffee shop having the same shirt on as him, about waiting in line at the post office, and the one about flying on a plane from Indy to New York are all great.He's not gone. Like Ansari he's on his way back up through the muck.
And yes, excellent material.
