[quote] those were all dismissed emp... no, europe's debts are almost all post WWI [/quote] Yes, but WWII was when the debts got to them. In their rebuilding effor they must have paid billions that they borrowed from us of the oil barons of the Middle East.

Meh, old news. Europe has had debts from the early 1800s, France fell apart twice because of them, so did Germany, Britain would have if it wasn't for the US. Japan still has war debts to pay to China, Korea, and the Phlippines. We have no real war debts, our debt is purely generated by our economic system of borrowing. Seeing as this is an effective way of encouraging growth without serious inflaion it is a reletively amazing procedure. However, also seeing as it has not been done bef

[quote] the pioneers of rocketry didnt know what the hell they were doing, the Chinese are trodding on a very VERY well worn path. [/quot] They have had to rediscover almost everything. Not many nations were willing to give up secrets that would effectively give the Chinese ICBMs. [quote] same reason N.

[quote] you pay no attention to the market do you? the dollar is fairly stable and doing much better, its more than bounced back from that 2002 disaster. [/quote] Oh I do agree, but the fact that another sizable decline happened in less then four years doesn't speak well for future economic stability.

[quote] that ain't a scientific improvement, its engineering, and theirs nothing really to be gained from failing to jump out of a boat into the ocean... which is essentially what they did... three... times... over...

That movie was a semi-decent comedy that attempted to portray a plot that was quite too far beyond the talent of the writers. And in tha movie the comedian ran as a citizen, not as a TV personality.

[quote] again you're off topic here, thats like an AT&T satellite, not a military one. [/quote] The millitary has terrible logistics I bet that the cost for their satelites is even more. And there isn't anything overly amazing in a communications sattelite. Yet it still costs 80 million.

I think they are they are able to 'customize' their Kol with point defenses or squadron capabilities. Althought this could mean that they could add points to the Flak Burst ability. You know what I've relised we haven't seen those freighter(you know it looks all square and with like colums on its sides) looking ships from the trailer yet.

[quote] You do realize that would encompass more then we've spent in Iraq so far...as a matter of fact three trillion dollars is about as much as the federal government spends in an eniter year. [/quote] Um.. I said Pentagon, not the Iraq war. But its nice that you metioned it, being a huge waste of money as well.

My progress report, parents a little on the isane side. Nothing much of interest. Its actually kind of weird, whenever I am caught for something amazingly bad(I dont know drinking, staying out really late) my parents seem care but never seem to punish.

[quote] and even if, you're premise of "if things keep going" which is a VERY flawed one, the only places that they've at all developed (the coastline) is almost done, and then zoop, inflation. [/quote] Oh ye of little knowledge. They have billions invested here, and around the world. Not to mention the fact that this coastline you speak of just keeps expanding outwords.
