    Sure, a dozen or so. Which is a small small percent of the world.
    Look at a map of Eastern Europe, the middle east. Borders changed, countries changed.
    Borders and culture have been changing since before the neanderthal days.

    And today with technology, the world is shrinking. Globalization is the future.

    And bringing much misery in its wake.

    If globalization is indeed the future, the future is looking grim.

    I do not recall any conflicts involving China and Russia apart from a border war.

    America brought much misery in its founding.
    America bring misery today to many parts of the world. See the Middle East.
    When is there no misery? Keeping walls and borders up create misery.

    I know Hitler wanted to dictate working life and the amount of leisure time allowed etc. However I am sure a good plan and strategy would ensure a successful change , something similar to Hitlers objective thoughts, but not exact. A new world order could be voluntary if the rewards offered were tempting to all.
    Working only two days a week would make 3.5 times the jobs available and a lot less stressful people.

    Japan is falling out of the world economically. They used to be #2 or 3 just a couple decades ago.

    The U.S. has the sovereign right to build a wall or not. You can call it racism all day but you have no proof. BTW do you not live behind walls?

    They're a foreign government colluding with Democrats to rig our elections.

    I am not saying that cultures should be retained as they are. I just think that people and their cultures should be as autonomous as possible.

    Yep, I agreed with another, perhaps a dozen or a few dozen.
    Muslim culture is not the same as 100 yrs ago. Their borders are not what they were 100 yrs ago. Many new names to their countries.
    Amish, yes, they are stuck in the 1700s. But not entirely, while they won't get some amenities we have today, they do use them.

    The greatest threat to everyone, the environment, and all life is an increasing human population. Population control measures will take care of environmental destruction, the extinction of many species, global warming, depleting resources and land, and lack of clean water and food.

    Regulating reproduction should be focused on those under 25 years, sex criminals, people who have committed crimes or have been known to be addicted to drugs in the past 5 years, and people who have instances of child abuse or neglect. Finally a limit to 3 children would be sufficient to actually reduce the population due the fact that there are many who may not have children or only one child. Developed nations produce only 1.2 - 1.5 children for every two adults so that already reduces the global population.
    A necessary part of all this will be free and accessible birth control in its various forms. A world tax should go toward this since it is necessary for the world to survive into the next era.

    Another thing to do is slowly cut back on immigration. Slowly, to prevent shocking the economy. Developed nations will eventually face labor shortages as they do not produce enough children to supply the needs of its industry. There will be no unemployment. Everyone will have a job and wages will rise and labor competition increases.
    Industry, without enough labor, will not be able to grow and developed nations will no longer have more industry than they need to support their populations. Less developed nations will start to fill the demand and begin building their own industries to meet the demand the developed nations are unable to meet. This means the immigrants who were going to American and Europe can find jobs at home and begin to make their own country a better place that is self sufficient.

    The other advantage of this will be that the decreased populations and the encouraged development of poorer nations will slow and prevent the possibility of war and strife between nations due to the lack of resources and land.

    You do not appear to be interested in education. You appear to be interested in nonsense and trolling. Education, try it.

    The United States has changed the world. The Nazis were always going to lose, but the Soviets weren't, and neither were the Japanese.

    Look at your life and note that all major technologies you are utilizing were developed by American defense developers to fight the Cold War.

    But I want to note that in this context I use "Anglophones" to refer to Canadians and Americans together, as opposed to Latinos or in the North American context, Mexicans.

    Nobody wants Mexico so there's no reason for any army to invade and occupy Mexico.

    Mexico has always been a basket case and will always be a basket case.

    Back during the 1980's Mexico was what looked like on the verge of revolution and President Reagan asked the CIA Director, William Casey will there be a revolution in Mexico ? Casey said he would get back to President Reagan.

    After the CIA did some snooping and pooping down in Mexico, Casey back back to Reagan and reported that it's very unlikely that there ever will be a revolution in Mexico. He said that Mexicans run away from their problems instead of fixing them.

    Then Casey gave Reagan the really bad news. That the Mexicans are running from their problems but they are running towards El Norte and they are bringing their problems, culture, customs and politics with them.

    This is when Reagan said this is a national security issue big time and we must secure our borders and enforce out immigration laws.

    This would result in the Immigration Enforcement Act of 1986. It was an enforcement act but the Democrats demanded a one time amnesty which was just a lie. When the act was signed into law the only part of the act that was enforced was the one time amnesty. When Reagan tried to enforce the Immigration Enforcement Act of 1986 the open borders leftist and activist yelled racism and xenophobia. The left does that a lot to further a leftist political agenda.

    The real problem with Mexicans, they have the crab mentality. The Mexican crab mentality.


    Down off the coast of Mexico, in small fishing villages that dot the shoreline, tourists will see the catch of the day being hauled in for market. In the market place you will see all sorts of vendors selling fish, lobsters, shellfish, and of course mexican crabs. The vendor of mexican crabs are known as "Crab-masters" and they keep their catch of crabs in large, shallow pans for the tourist to see and buy. Of course the tourists are curious and they ask the "Crab-master", "why the crabs with their long legs and claws just don't reach up and pull themselves out of the pan, flop into the gutter and make their way back to the sea rather than end up as an 'Avacado Crab Cocktail' later in the evening?"

    And the "Crab-Master" will reply, "Well Senor', the Mexican crab has a characteristic that is indigenous to only the Mexican crab and that is, every time a crab reaches up to pull himself out to freedom, it is the habit of the other crabs to reach up and pull him back into the pan."


    Crab mentality, sometimes referred to as crabs in the bucket, is a way of thinking best described by the phrase, "if I can't have it, neither can you." The metaphor refers to a bucket of crabs. Individually, the crabs in the story could easily escape from the bucket, but instead they are described as grabbing at each other in a useless "king of the hill" competition which prevents any from escaping and ensures their collective demise. The analogy in human behavior is claimed to be that members of a group will attempt to negate or diminish the importance of any member who achieves success beyond the others, out of envy, spite, conspiracy, or competitive feelings, to halt their progress.

    It has, but it won't. The American War on Drugs has turned into a massive profitable enterprise for the Mexicans to gain investment capital, and their own economy has easy access to the largest market in the world. Their population is growing, and they are well on their way to reconquering the American Southwest demographically.

    We're losing the ability to ignore Mexico. Within a few generations they will be a much more significant geopolitical threat than North Korea, Iran, or even China.

    I don't expect that Americans will understand how important Mexico is to us, and I think we'll suffer for that failure of judgement.
