rome was around for 1000 years. america has been number one for 60 years. saying rome took centuries to decline hasnt got anything to do with it. im talking about nations in decline in general. not nations dieing by famine or conquest. what happens to them. they go through certain phases. im saying that the next phase for the west will be in tune with a general decline and not booming and prospering as some silly people are suggesting. im sorry if you are young and unhappy about it but i have little doubt about it. things in the west are going to decline,not get better.
