The fall of the Roman Empire vs America

It's also interesting to note that all of the prior empirialistic or dominants civilizations of the past lasted for centuries, but powers have shifted constantly throughout history.

Babylonians,Asyrians, Egypt, Rome, Greece, Europe, North America?

Although it's probable we won't experience it during our lifetimes, think about the chinese once their economy stabilizes/advances?

Honestly, why is America so powerful? I see it as stemming mainly from economical power and educational level of general populace.

China has a huge population, but it's citizens are still very poor on average. If that trend changes, global power may shift as well.

America ideally should spread it's power via it's values of democracy and capitalism, not through force. All empires that used force for it's gain crumbled.

To say that america will conquer other countries is fucking rediculous. That is not the american way.

Aaah, but once we were expansionist. And now we are pussy's.

Pussy's how? Because we're waiting a week to start fucking shit up? Come on man. You've heard of planning right? Does planning make us pussies? If so, I'm glad we're pussies for thinking about what we're doing instead of reacting. Animals react. Humans calculate.

P.S. WHO SAYS WE'RE NOT DOING SHIT RIGHT NOW?!!?!??
