The Collapse of the American Empire

watso also a baby boomer - and also raised in a strongly religious household (even though 100% atheist these days) .. and god and the commies were mortal enemies (even though the parents always voted labor)..

watso also read a book called (it was free) :-

The United States And Britain In Prophecy..

for anyone who wants to believe some rubbish - here is a 200 page pdf file

anyway, watso had this belief that everything that america did , was for the good of mankind.. and of course the commies were really, really, really bad ..

the turning point for watso was all the lies for the iraq war .. and of course now with more information readily available (ie the internet) - then watso has totally changed his mind about america ..

america , as the dominant world power is the bully boy of the world as it attempts to hold onto the power...

watso got a few sound bites from our PM who gave a speech at some forum .. for what it is worth, he could have been describing america (he was describing china) .. and of course he had to throw in something about a RULES BASED ORDER... that would have to be where america makes the rules and changes them as they please ...

for what it is worth, but the hypocrisy of the americans is always so obvious ..

the good news is that trump is doing his best to destroy america from within ..

it would be awesome if america got a bit of its own medicine and they had an internal civil war

I totally agree watso.

In addition to your personal experiences, I had two stints of living/working in the States;
1st in NY and later in Seattle with a 3 month around the USA in a camper van in between,
and from those experiences I can tell you that the America I encountered was nothing
like the America being pedalled overseas.

Hollywood has a lot to answer for, IMO.

It had a nasty materialistic undertow so that if one fell over in the street the first contact
would likely be to have your wallet & watch nicked and if you were wearing runners, then you could
kiss your ass goodbye to them too.

That said there was great comradery if you turned up with the flash getup, the Timex Oyster
Watch and the Caddy, then you could be forgiven for thinking that you were 'in like Flynn"
but of course even blind Freddy could see that it was all fake.........just I, me & mine
Even the conversations could not avoid "I, me or mine" for a sentence.

I remember giving my spare wheel to an American who was stranded outside Tampa
because he had a blowout and no spare and he just couldn't understand that someone
would "lay" a spare wheel on him for free, man.....someone that he had never seen before.

America is a different culture to Aus and unfortunately we're edging that way because
of our social alienation and reliance on social media which is dominated by Americans,
Americanisms & American values.

Just listen to some of the American ass-lickers on these threads...eh?

When I return to Aus I always feel like Alice in Wonderland getting out of an Aluminium
Tube and entering into a truely enchanting world. I'm home.

It would be a tragedy to balls it up!
