I've read that it will take three "earths" just to sustain the population of China with a standard of living similar to the average Briton.
How's that going to work or is the American taxpayer going to step in and give them hand outs ?.
Americans saw the light and realized that government regulations are ANTI business thus we buy most of our products from China and so does England as they have several furniture manufacturers there.
You just dont have a choice as they are cheaper than those produced in your country
China bought up most of the worlds copper / lead and other ferrous and non ferrous materials as China is going to be the world leader (hopefully) in manufacturing as more American investors start companies there.
I think they are doing quite wll based on investment from across the globe as most large companies look for cheap labour
Many of my cast iron products come from China and the quality is decent and having lots and lots of labor (labour) there is no shortage of labor and the people who want to work do and those that don't want to work starve OR go to other countries and relieve the burden China once faced feeding the lazy.
I dont think they get much choice and if you knew anything about their culture youd know that being work shy is not one of their normal traits
About the world having global warming and or lots of pollution ....NOT to worry Saddam tried that with fires in Kuwait and all he succeeded in doing is creating jobs for Texans who specialize in fighting oil fires and Saddam helped spread the wealth.
didnt do anything to global warming, as it had the same effect as if it had been burnt off by car engines
As more and more home grown terrorists spout up and place bombs and destroy building and the underground and cause massive destruction the bright side is it creates jobs for the construction industry as the buildings fall newer and more stringent building codes are called for.
weve already sorted that one out thanks to your lot donating money. weve been fighting terrorists and insurgents for years, and been doing it very well. thats why our forces are recognised the world over at the best in doing it.sometimes you dont need a bullet to counter a terrorist let alone, 1500 m16 rounds, an m1 abrams, an apache helicopter etc etc
After all is settled there is going to be one out of control asteroid and POOF good bye mother earth as we know it.
Well hopefully it will miss our tiny island, but yours is a much bigger target
With the sun blocked out the fear of global warming is gone and no sun means more fuel is needed and less food plus depending where the asteroid hits what other damage is done such as oceans flooding any country near ground zero.
with the sun blocked out the planet will die in a few weeks so food and fuel will be meaning less
The earth will start to renew after man kind is gone and the cocker roaches again take charge as they have long before mankind came along.
are they the same as cockroaches?
Starvation, global freezing , earth quakes and all this worrying about gas prices will be for nothing.
Look at Princess Diana and the chauffeur and her boy friend and the only one to survive was the bloke who was smart enough to have a gun and they said why does he need it? The DARN fools who were UNARMED perished.
good job he shot that concrete bollard with his gun, saved his life.
As the earth faces the final months of existence the blocks with firearms will have no problem getting food and petrol from the folks who sit home waiting for the governments to take care of them
have you joined the moonies?
If mankind does not destroy this planet I am sure mother nature will as it is time to start over and give another species a chance .
Look how Japan, Germany, most countries EXCEPT England built up their economy and infrastructure after WW 2 and now look how China is the greatest manufacturer and exporter of modern times.
strange how we have the leading service economy and finincial capital of the world
By me using a lot of gasoline I still feel I am doing my part to help people keep working PLUS I have no problem paying a gas guzzler tax as it helps my fellow human have a better life

Use it or lose it Gasoline is meant to be used as much as possible before it stits in the ground and explodes
when has oil in the ground ever exploded then. is this a frequently occuring natural event?
