Why would we ever become isolationists?

So we could drift behind the rest of the world?

So we could keep ourselves out of technological consortiums?

Reinvent the wheel?

IMO its a worse idea than terrifs.

The thought salad in the OP was quite confusing as well

you sure you don't need a piece of hard candy or a glass of orange juice?

What? You haven't researched this.


Lets see here North Carolina got hit by a tornado my church helped clean up the damage it did but sorry not a single country gave us aid in a time of crisis :roll:


Yes, because Haiti and Kenya don't have a GDP per capita of over $30,000 you self-sanctimonous idiot.

During Katrina the United States received heaps of international aid offers.

You are our mates... we will support you in time of need.

You guys helped us out during our nasty bushfires in 2009 and our fire fighters usually help out when you have a rough year.

Should we enforce American Nationalism :idea:


This is an assertion masquerading as a question. Also freedom of speech and thought will be abridged. Why don't you just go ahead and say fascism whilst you're at it.

How stupid and uninformed does someone have to be to think that the USA is part of the EU?

The USA has been an independent country for over two centuries and you've finally caught up enough with the rest of the world and thought that independence would be a good idea? Well dayumn.

We have our own gas that we do not use we depend on communist China for goods.

Is there supposed to be another full-stop in there? Also you import 'gas' because if you only used gas in the USA or canada then Gas prices would rise so quickly that the economy would fall apart.

Are you actually gullible enough to think that the Chinese are communist?

As a country should we enforce Autarky the quality of being self-sufficient :idea:

So like Chairman Mao, or Stalin, or Hitler. Ironically the first two were in charge of amazingly poor countries and the third ran out of gas, not to mention being the most inveterate scumbag of history.

China is a communist country I am not against people who are communist its a good idea in theory but not in practice.

After reading everyones opinons I have to say I am against the idea and I am aware that we are a Independent country.

Also I was in fact uniformed that America isn't apart of the EU no need for name calling lad.

I am happy to here everyones views.

And Lad this is just for you.

China's Goverment is a Single-party state,
nominal communist state.

I don't have a problem with anyone who doesn't actually set out to ruin my life either, but China isn't a communist state. China has for a long time allowed state capitalism and free-market capitalism to spring up across China. That is what brought it out of the misery of the Maoist era.

Okay, fair enough. The name calling was a bit too far. Sorry.

That seems fair enough to agree with America manily calls China a communist country because of their very stricted laws thats the only arguement though.

They are more of a form of authoritarian state capitalism by now.

The only reason why you came off as out of line was because you didn't know the basics, and you seem to have taken aboard that lack of sane reserve that American partisan politicians are lately so famous for. That is no aspie trait. The heavy-hitting frankness of opinion is though.

Ahem.

We have quite happily provided you with aid when you have sought it.

We opened our airspace, airports and homes when you closed yours.
We provided you with aid after Katrina.
We provided you with aid to combat the oil disaster.

We routinely provide you with assistance in fields like search and rescue and wildfire suppression, and you do the same for us.

Fortunately, most of your compatriots are better aware of the generosity of your friends than you are.
