We're off topic? We're a lot better than NSG. |

We're not too far off topic. Technically, we're still talking about politics which is what this topic is pretty much about. We just drifted away from the original political situation. |

Were about several hundred miles away from our original topic, a bit literally too. |

I'm sure you guys know this, but whenever you have a conversation about a topic, face-to-face, or in the forums, one little phrase always drifts a conversation to another part that you never imagine talking about, like another WWIII. But I do see where you are coming from Liberal Morality, because you want to keep us on track. |

I'd rather talk about, less depressing things. Since we all know that war, tragedy, and death can happen any day, anywhere.

True, I know how you feel. Talking about these things can get me tense too. The thing is if people start to talk about a topic like this, then I like to voice my thoughts too without arguing another person's opinion, and taking the other person's perspective but still disagreeing. |

Well, if you want to get back on topic, then get back on topic. Like you said, it just takes one sentence. Someone find the sentence! Cause i got no clue. |

Umm.........my sentence, I'm guessing, would be, "Well North Korea, China, deficit spending, the sub-prime mortgage crisis, the War on Terror, and many more issues are just the many issues that will affect the race to White House this year for John McCain and Barack Obama." What do you guys think? |

Well... It seems close, but I think that that might just launch us into a conversation about which will have more influence, why, how can it be stopped, and eventually we'll get off topic again. Thats my opinion. But dang close! |

Well, thanks. I think China and North Korea would have more influence, but right now, the U.S. is focused on change. People want to revive the economy, not to be involved in a war. We need to serve our people, not to deal with nations that strongly dislike us and our ideas, but right now, change is what we need, not putting our focus on a WWIII. That's what Obama is for. Go Obama!!!!! Is that more on-topic or what? |

Here's the funny thing about war... we hate it yet it has helped our economies. Look at history. The biggest thing that ended the Great Depression for many was the fact that WWII occurred. It gave many western nations the drive to mobilise. Men enlisted and women went to the office. Everyone had a job. Even the women who stayed home had extra work; they were caregivers for those who went to the factories. This economic revival led to the Baby Boom. The other thing that led to the boom was the thrift of the people. The drive to conserve. That combination gave America the ability to emerge as a power. Edited by Farflorin, Jun 24 2008, 05:40 PM.

Now we're talking about war and its effects on the economy. It seems that the more we try to get on topic, the farther we stray from topic. |

But here, we're talking about the War in Iraq, and how it led the American economy into a recession, causing Dow Jones to fall several hundred points for several weeks, and causing the U.S. Dollar's value to drop with such currencies such as the Euro, the Kuwaiti Dinar, the Yen, and the Canadian dollar, and other economic issues, in which the candidates are discussing what they want to do to revive the economy. We're not talking about WWII or simply just war here. |

Didn't the dollar value rise above the euro again recently? And i'm not so sure the government can do much. I think that the best method to stop the recession would be to get oil prices to drop. That should help greatly. |

Well, in order to get prices in oil to drop, we're going to have to do off-shore drilling and drilling for oil in Alaska, so that we can drop oil prices and not import oil from Saudi Arabia, which has the most oil in the world. We shouldn't care about what the environmentalists say about that and global warming, although it is happening right now with Greenland and Antarctica and the North Pole. The environmentalists are trying to hurt our economy by trying to prevent us from drilling oil off-shore and in Alaska. Because of all the oil and oil investments in Saudi Arabia, King Abdullah and the Saudi government are building economic cities for foreign investment in Riyadh, Jiddah, and other cities so that by the time oil runs out there, the Saudi Arabian economy will be in a continuous state of prosperity. And back to your question, a little bit, but the euro rose a little bit again. If you think that oil prices are expensive here, then in Europe, you should see the prices for oil there. Oil can be from $6 a gallon, to I think at least $12 a gallon. So we should feel good that we don't have the most expensive prices for oil, but about the environment thing, we should give government funding to our national parks and the oil companies can set their oil drilling areas without any problem. That way, we all can live in peace not worrying about our oil interfering with wildlife negatively. |
