Personally, I would sell my soul for omnipotent power or possibly immortality.

and HEH.people who just blurt out that americans are bad probably never get their asses to america,never met a real-life americans and can't see the truth behind the media and government veil anyways.I live in America and I rarely find someone that can see past the government and media veil. Maybe I'm just too pessimistic and since I am constantly exposed to the stupid ones day in and day out I begin to think that the whole country is like that.
I know that I have a deep seated hatred of the cliche' California/ New York Liberal and the typical Christian Republican.
Personally, I don't mind the french but, as a whole you guys have some huge flaws that need to be corrected.
1. Your universal health care. Why is that a problem? Look at how much it is draining your economy. Go look up the figures of how much it costs the government to fund the project. Then break that down to how much money per person is being spent. That is a lot of money that could be spent on better programs to make France a bigger player in the world stage.
2. The labor laws the ones that sparked all those protests in 06 (forgive me if your country has changed them I haven't heard any information about it). The "right to work" or however they rationalized it was a poor idea. Companies only do things if it makes good business sense and without the risk of being fired you won't really put out the effort to do a good job. In America we can lose our jobs fairly easily so everyone who wants to keep their job worked very hard otherwise they end up unemployed. Why would a business risk hiring some young inexperienced person if they will be stuck with them?
3. The 751 Zones Urbaines Sensibes (pardon if I messed this up). The french people have allowed their laws to take a back seat to aggressive Muslims. Those pockets of Muslim people have their own set of laws known as Sharia Law. Basically, they have created a state within a state. National or local laws hold no power there since they believe those pockets are their land and only Sharia law can touch them. If these problem areas aren't dealt with and forces to obey the Federal and local laws then the problem will only worsen. At the current rate of affairs in France continue. Eventually your Liberal ways will end when you are democratically turned into a Muslim state. Don't believe me? Find a book called
Al-Zarqawi: The Second Generation of Al Qaeda by Fouad Hussein.
It'll chill you to the fucking bone.
Besides the hostility towards Americans in general (since not all of us are typical American idiots). I like the French but, every time I have spoken to a French person it sound like you are being snobby to me. Maybe its the language, maybe its the people actually being snobby who knows.

WW2 says hi.
Vietnam says hi back. Too bad, you can't win them all.
Vietnam was a poorly executed and controlled event. Standing military fighting against guerrilla tactics in an environment that is suited perfectly to the guerrilla fighters. Trying to free the people people who would turn on you to prevent their villages from being attacked by china back communist forces,etc ,etc. That's like trying to win a fight with both hands tied behind your back and your legs bound together.
Know that little Jesus guy that people talk about? Even he couldn't have pulled off a miracle like that.

They don't know where Canada is located on a map. (and that's pretty amazing)Blame the public school system. Most of those idiots being "taught" in those abominations don't even know where their own state is located.
The average idiot in this country cares more about the elections in American Idol more than the elections for the Senate or the President.

You're generalizing. Basically anyone is susceptible to corruption in positions of power, but there are, in fact, some who wouldn't let it go to their head. There are also instances where some nations would be better off going through a period of time where there is a higher, more objective authority governing them. During a civil war, would it be better that one side has the majority of the power or that a mediator would be step in and take control until order is restored?As if it would work so perfectly well. Lets take a U.N. Style government as a universal body of Authority of the planet.
First off, lets just get this out of the way: Large bodies of governments are ineffective and only increase inefficiency when the size of the governing body is increased.
When a conflict arises, which nation will have to fork over its troops to keep the peace? Why would Italy for example have to hand over troops to keep the peace in Somilia? Why would Venezuela have to hand over troops for peace keeping in the middle east?
Lets say Russia borrows money from the U.N. and doesn't repay its bill and eventually snubs its nose at the entire body? What will the U.N. do? Trade embargo? Russia is one of the top five Wheat and oil producers. So that would ruin entire economies or if Wheat is held back, notice those riots in Haiti and other countries about the price and availability of corn and related products? Think about how horrible it would be if a major wheat producer cut off the supply.
What if there is a conflict and the U.N. has to use military force in a war. Which nation will have to fork over the troops? America? Japan, China? France, Germany, etc, etc
Lets say the U.N. council passes some "global law" that various countries disagree with but, the "Global Senate" passed. What is going to happen? Diplomacy? We have seen how well the U.N. has done with its diplomacy.
Points against a "Global Government" The "Oil for food" scandal? Huge amounts of documented bribes and kickbacks, the untold number of bribes and such that haven't been been discovered. The child sex slave scandal
http://www.infowars.net/articles/january2007/030107UN_Sex.htm
The current U.N. is a prime example as how pathetic huge government is. Putting a single person in change will just turn the putrid, bloated sack of shit of the U.N. into the form of a single man.
Even if the president of the world was a good man the person that would follow him would be corrupt and if not him then soon the position will be corrupted and thus the world will be royally fucked.
Take for instance the United States Senate. Riddled with corruption and etc. So if they are willing to be corrupt then what is to keep the "senators" of a global government from becoming corrupt?
The concept of putting one person in charge of such power is two degrees away from pants on head retarded.
Americans in general (take note a few exceptions. Those exceptions know who they are)
Americans love BBQ: You are usually thinking of a backyard grilling instead of a BBQ. Barbecue is a whole different style of cooking.
Americans love their Backyard grilling: Its more of a man thing. Friends, Family, Cold Beer (or general alcohol), and a fresh piece of red meat.
Americans are fat: Little exercise and a sedentary lifestyle will of course make you fat.
Americans eat a lot of McDonalds: Convince honestly, a lot of Americans just don't have the time to sit and have breakfast with one another or prepare a good lunch. So fast food it is.
Americans are fat: That's because they are the only ones you see. Look behind the fat ones and you'll see a lot of healthy people. Its like traveling around Jupiter to see Mercury.
Americans are stupid: Only the loud ones (since they drown out the logical ones). Read the below statement.
Americans love their bible: See the above statement
Americans are arrogant: That is pretty much spot on.
Americans always resort to war: Hey, just like when we elected Bush and Jimmy Carter. It seemed like a good idea at the time.

It is not possible for one person to take control of the world, especially not with today's existing technology. Even if you successfully managed to drag all other countries under your control, the economic disaster created by wide scale military destruction would likely take longer than your lifetime to fix. Also, while you are in control you would have to combat various groups that wished to undermine you. You could not insure that people are absolutely loyal. If one man has power over the entire world, then that is more than enough temptation for even your closest advisor's to turn against you. You can see this in the case of Hitler - probably the one man who came closest to ruling the world.Ruling the world and controlling the world are two different things. It could be possible to control the entire world, but it would take extreme measures. Simply ruling the world would require all nations to accept you as being in a seat of power that overrides any establish organization, government, monarchy, regime, etc.. Personally, I would think that the world would be more comfortable with a single ruler, considering the fact that so many countries are so dissatisfied with their current leaders. One way to take control, while not alienating others would be to allow individual countries, certain ones, to maintain they're established governments, but they would have to go through you before they did anything. I'm not saying complete autocracy, but giving them some freedom to act.
In my overall "plan" there would be no concern about the economies collapsing and military destruction, because those are all things that would be essentially "phased out" and restructured in the beginning stages of the ruler's ascent to power.
Placing one person in control of such power is doomed to failure for everyone. Even with individual government holding their own sovereignty over their own lands. The "president of the world" or whatever their title would be. Every disaster or every negative event is just another chance for that one person to wrestle control away from the sovereign government in the area of crisis. That path would eventually lead to one man to rule them all and that is the death of all freedom and individuality.

I once got a tattoo, but i got kinda sick of it then got it removed after a few months.That is why you sit on the idea for a while. If you are still as excited about getting a tat after the wait then you will usually stick with it.
The most common problem with tats are that people get them on an impulse (or when they are drunk) and end up regretting it.
The second most common problem is no originality when people get'em.
"uh, I'll get a dragon, no wait, a chinese dragon. I'll also get a tribal armband or barbed wire."
People who think the world will end on a specific day are pants on head retarded. There are countless others before you who have said the world will end on the day they said. Hey, guess what? We're still here bitches!

I'd like to be able to say I see a bright future on the horizon........but, not likely. I see a global depression in the not too distant future. Followed by the inevitable collapse of civilization. However, these my not necessarily be bad things. Maybe what we need is a fresh start. Sometimes it takes complete failure to get things right.Once civilized society collapses the religious will take front stage and the world will enter into another dark age. Intelligent thought will be suffocated while we are under their rule. It'll take human society at the very least decades to recover but, I see it as taking a generations or centuries for humanity to reach modern "civilized" standards again after such an event.

A lot of people see tattoos are pointless. Everyone has something that someone else would consider silly or stupid. It all boils down to each their own I guess.

I want to buy a new system. . .but, i don't know what to get
PS3 XBOX 360 or the Wii
which is better?
Look at the game library that is currently out for each system and what is coming down the pipeline. There are rumors that Microsoft will release a new console around 2010 so take that into consideration.
When you compare the price of the system vs how many games are out for it (of the genre you like of course). Honestly, I recomend the 360 since it has a huge library of games but, the technical aspects of the PS3 will be superior and sony will probably put off launching a new console when Microsoft does since a two year life span on a system is just not good business sense.
