You're being sarcastic, which means you're being a coward, but why not go in that direction? International finance already RECOGNIZES that we live in one world, and they are USING YOUR NATIONALISM to hide their money from you after ripping you off via derivatives. Sheep like you can be relied upon to operate on the old paradyms, allowing these new wolves to eat you alive. Wakeup, you already live in one world economy. The people that have fleeced you and your children moved their ill-gotten gains onto hedge funds offshore, making their 'killings' permanent. And all you got was the chance to sell your daughter into prostitution. Way to go, reasoned1955.

it is indeed a turning point from capitalism to socialism, we are just one step closer to communism.
all these financial bubble, G20 etc, are just the secret plan of communist China, they lend us money, created the crisis, helped socialist Obama get the presidency, next step, we are all part of China. Look how happy Obama was when he shake hands with comrade Hu.

We HAVE to have our daily dose of fear from the Cowards in the Ditto Head Crowd don't we!? That NUT CASE in North Korea only wants someone anyone to be afraid of him and notice him. He is the head of a starving country that has no more than you to influence the world around them... FEAR! Without it He and YOU poor losers have NOTHING!

The Nut Case in the past has launched a missile over Japan. Now what do you think our response should be if he launched one over Hawaii? Should we sit down and discuss it with him? Should we just wait until he puts one of his nukes on it?

==================
All so true...well said. We should abolish national currencies (specifically the dollar) and go to one world currency (much like the Euro). I think we should also abolish borders and immigration controls. People could move freely and pursue jobs anywhere in the world. I also don't like the disparity between the quality of public services being tied to the affluence of a given community or neighborhood. We should spread the public dollars evenly and provide comparable levels of service regardless of location. Some will improve while some will decline. That's just the way it is.

You could have just said lets all rise to the same level mediocrity. Now that is a goal.

President Obama needs someone to step up and provide him with a handkerchief. The only thing more embarrassing than having your leader wipe his nose with his hand would be for him to use his coat sleeve. Surely one of those duty free shops have handkerchiefs. And no one, no one, said "bless you." I am so mortified. You know this world is going to the netherworld in a handbasket when good manners are no longer important.

While the world is mesmerized by the stupidity of the G20 fiasco. North Korea has deployed her fighter jets to defend against any attempts to shoot down its rocket, set to be launched in the coming days.What is happening over on that side of the world is a countdown to war!
We have two countries that have very little to loose. Japan is in the worse financial shape that it has been in since the big war. North Korea already is treated like dirt by the international community. Then America has stuck her nose in so deep that she has set the stage to be the agresee and aggressor without any means to end it all. Sounds like the Georgia situation.

the New World Order has been kicked around for over seventy years, it isn't a new concept as some seem to think and/or suggest. This isn't doomsday and the sky is not falling. The powers that be are doing everything they possibly can to fix the mess the last administration put this entire planet in. This is a global problem and it doesn't just affect the USA. It isn't all about you!! I realize that is very difficult for some to comprehend, but there it is.

Pretty impressive start for the new President, First Lady and new generation of world leaders. It's amazing to see this new generation step up to the cause of bettering the world for everyone, not just the privileged few. I applaud the protestors as well, for caring about what's happening around them and making their voices heard.

Things are far from perfect and we have a lot of work to do. But, they're way better than they were just a few months ago under the dark regime.

I to am very impressed with the Newest American Generation and their Leader, our New President! When I think back to the time when it was OUR turn, when at the age of 20, I didn't see anything that we could not change, I envy them. I know what you said is true, the climb is high and rough but like all those Generations before them they seem to believe they can and will make a difference. I say to them, never mind the fear and the mud slinging that is only people who have no honor or faith in the American Way. You young people move on ahead and carry forward the dream we've all had since the very first!
