  1. See this is why America is a advanced nation. The U.S.A. can produce all of this great stuff the world wants, like F-16s, M-16 rifles, machine guns, advanced avionics, thermal optical instruments, howitzers, mortars, anti-aircraft missiles, anti-tank missiles, hummers, trucks, gunship helicopters, gps guided weapons, etc. All made in the good ole USA!!!!!

  2. When we catch up to those nations?? We are more advanced than those nations, you mean when they catch up to us. Advanced not only in weapons tech, but in every other field, like farming tech, mining tech, metallurgy, manufacturing machinery, computer technology, medical technology, etc. The computer companies that manufacture the key components of computers are U.S. corps, like Intel and AMD who make cpus. No other country makes cpus.

  3. They do work, and they have been shelved, because our money is backed by the sale of crude oil in the global market. It is called the petro-dollar. When we run out of oil, I guarantee you there will be no problems. There will be plenty of energy, and the next age will be the age of Aquarius. The water bearer, it will be a golden age or a new age for mankind.

  4. Enough money is being spent on education, the US spends more money on education than any place in the world, & renewable energy technology is a dead end. Universal healthcare is something that can be attained, but you will have to pay for it through your taxes.

  5. Let me tell you something young man... A great portion of a great many economies rely on the military industrial complex. For example... The fertilizer industry, not only make fertilizers for your lawns and farms, but they also make high explosives and munition propellant. The company that makes hydrogen peroxide to fight infections on wounds also makes liquid rocket fuel. The company that makes automobiles makes hummers, apcs, tanks, etc. Do you get the message. All technology is double edged!

  6. I know your jealous of America. Your jealous my great nation can produce A-10 Warthogs, F-16 Falcons, F-15s, M1A2 mbts, gps guided bombs, and other weapon systems that the world wants!!!! Just like the average adult in the USA or Canada loves to buy guns. Governments love to buy the biggest and baddest military hardware! So there, go back to your shit hole of a country. The USA is number one, and you know it!

  7. There is something greater than renewable energy, like solar panels, wind turbines, hydrogen from electrolysis, and ethnonel 85. Those renewable sources of energy aren't very efficient. In some cases they use more energy than they produce! We have much better stuff that has been shelved, like implosion engines, cold fusion, Tesla magnetic engines, Stan Meyer's engine, Tesla towers, zero point, and other free energy devices. I agree with you on healthcare, it is very expensive in the USA.

  8. You must be one of those liberals who hate the USA. America is evil, America is bad, America has a bloody and unfair history, America is racist, America is behind, and America sucks. America is freer than most countries, America has laws prohibiting racism, America is fairer than most countries, and America is a very advanced country!

  9. No it's not! It takes a lot of technology to make a F-16, or a F-15 jet fighter. How much does a F-15 cost?? $35 million. How much does a M1A2 tank cost? $8.58 million. Don't tell me America isn't an advanced nation. Selling weapons is BIG BUSINESS you libtard moron!

  10. LOL, call it what you may. The truth is the truth.

  11. Let me tell you something, living on this planet is madness. Living on this planet is hell. It's just insanity.

  12. About 39% to 50% of the U.S. population owns at least 1 gun or more. You can look it up on government stats, this is for legally owned guns that went through the paper work of the 10 day waiting period. People own guns for various reasons, their jobs may require it, hunting, home security, recreational use, as a hobby, etc.

  13. It isn't just big business that depends on the military industrial complex, there are many sub contractors who rely on it as well. There are thousands parts in combat aircraft, and all of those parts are made by sub contractors. Not only that, the metals that are used are mined in this country, and this supports the mining industry. It all filters down to the common man, it doesn't just line the pockets of the elites and the aristocracy.

  14. The big problem I have with liberals like you is this... You want EVERYONE to be equal, and I say that is impossible. Everyone is different, some people are more intelligent, some people are wealthier, some people have talents, some traits may even be genetic, and you can't make everyone the same and generalize.

  15. Our government spends a lot of money on education, and stoogeofstooges is blaming lack of government spending. It is a lie! The U.S. ranks 4th place when it comes to educational spending per student. Then, he says there is a disparity between public schools doing worse than private schools. If the students in public schools don't do well, it is their own fault for not trying hard. Don't blame the government for these disparities!

  16. You know as well as I, if you are an exceptional student in the U.S.A., you will be able to get a scholarship to pursue your education in the best universities. People like that are the ones who make the breakthroughs in technology. The U.S. ranks about 4th place when it comes to spending money on education, and that is good for a country that has a big population.

  17. No it hasn't, because it's always been that way. Even in ancient times, you had the bow maker who made bows/crossbows for hunters also make bows, crossbows, catapults, and ballistas for the government. The ordinary craftsman/metal smiths who made tables, brooms, stoves, farm tools, horse shoes, carriages, knives, etc for the civilian market would also make spears, arrow heads, swords, frames for seige engines, cannons, logistical wagons, for the government. All this is as old as history.

  18. Just awesome! Who needs to spend money on education, and other bullshit. They need to spend more money on buying the latest and greatest weapons systems, so the country can become STRONG!!!! More of it has to be used on EVIL PEOPLE! Weaponry is absolutely necessary to a country's survival!!!

  19. It takes a lot of technology to make a fighter plane, gunship helicopters, satellites, smart bombs, surface of air missiles, air to air missiles, modern battle tanks, composite armor, radars, howitzers, etc. Weapons technology represents the pinnacle of technology. Most of those nations you mentioned have thriving defense industries. German Leopard 2 mbt, K2 Black Panther mbt, T-50 Golden Eagle, Leclerc mbt, Euro fighter, Challenger 2 mbt, Type 90 mbt, etc.

  20. The U.S.A. spends about $10,000 per student, and Luxembourg spends about $16,000 per student per year. The U.S.A. is about 4th place in this world when it comes to spending per student. This shows you one thing, putting a lot of money into education doesn't yield results. The average U.S. student falls behind in math and science. Why? Because most people who major in those subjects are either working for themselves, working for corporations, etc. A lot of opportunities for skilled workers.

  21. If the majority of the students don't study hard, and cause problems whose fault is that? Is that the government's fault? I don't think so. If the majority of inner city school students don't study hard, sell drugs, steal, and commit other kinds of thuggish activities who can you blame? People create the environment they live in. On the hand, you have a more affluent area where student are studious, you can pin those attributes on the communities they come from.

  22. The kind of education, the U.S. educational system really lacks are good math and science instructors. Without those basics, you cannot progress in the 21st century. The good careers, like software engineering, engineering, material sciences, research sciences, and other very important disciplines. The problem with the U.S. educational system isn't funding, it is largely due to poor structure, like the lack of centralization and standardization.

  23. The currency of this world has always been cold steel, some things will always remain the same, always.

  24. Fair enough, but you have to understand wants are limitless and needs are not. It's the same as consumerism. The people who buy 3 to 5 cars, or buys 200 articles of clothing. The average person competes with the other person on buying better cellphones, better fashion, etc. A nation wants the best weapon systems to protect itself from other nations. It's just human nature if you look at it.

  25. What you say is true about education, but most American students aren't that smart to begin with. In the U.S.A., we have an education system which awards merit. Either you can be very smart and get into the top schools with a scholarship, or you can be very rich and go to the very best private schools. The problem with America's educational system is that, it isn't centralized. We don't have national standardized test for teachers, and students. The most qualified teachers should teach subjects

  26. Your right about that. There is no standardization in the American public school system that is one of the major problems. That's why President Bush came out with standardized exams for high schools, and most students in the USA couldn't pass them. Obviously having a centralized educational system has its advantages, and we have had a decentralized system for quite some time.
