    For those who aspire to live in a high cost, high tax, big government place, our nation and the world offers plenty of options. Vermont, Canada and Venezuela all offer you the opportunity to live in the socialist, big government paradise you long for. –Senator Rubio

      He'll never admit it but he's very much like Ben in that regard.
      True. Except sometimes I'm right. OIAW.

        51% of global spending got 45% of global spending in 1 area (biomedical research) = Losing Global Dominance In Science

        My god Kentonio. Hyperbole much? Misery loves company I guess. I've talked to a few Brits who lament the loss of their empire. I guess Ken can't wait to see the same thing happen to the US. Never mind that the US never had an empire........

          Aren't there a lot more Republicans who believe in creationism over evolution, compared to Democrats with the same absurd belief?
          A lot of Republicans are not racist, but a lot of racists are Republican.

            Yes, MrFun. And there are probably a lot more Democrats with the absurd belief that homosexuality isn't a sin in Christianity.

              Furthermore, for every republican who believes in creationism, there is a democrat who believes vaccines cause autism and that genetically modified food is dangerous.

                There's a whole continent with the view expressed in legislation and regulation that GMO is the devil.

                  There have been numerous studies over the last 5 years or so showing Asia and China in particular seriously raising the game with science funding and education. Many of our right wing American posters here still think China is a peasant country that is only worth laughing at. I pointed out this was crap and had the normal right wing US chorus of arrogance and ignorance. This latest report is just part of a long term initiative to point out to some American posters here that times are changing, and not in Americans favour.

                  They could help do something to reverse the tide of course by say supporting science and education spending, but it's so much easier to just laugh at the funny foreigners while believing you will always be the global powerhouse. It's almost like another country might have made similar mistakes once upon a time..

                      US is still the dominant nation for awhile. It won't be forever. What Brits like ken don't realize is that most of us are fine with that.

                        Nah, you're fine with that, most aren't (and much respect to you for that btw). If they were there would be a much greater realization that not being the dominant nation will mean you have to pay a lot more attention to developing relationships with other nations, including the rising Asian nations. If you're not going to be the sole world superpower you need to start talking to other countries as peers rather than inferiors.

                          Does that mean we'd be answering Cameron's calls?

                              No, it simply behaved as though it did. Just ask the Dominican Republic, Haiti, Nicaragua, Viet Nam, the Philippines, CubaLiberia....

                              I'll grant you there are differences between a formal imperialist empire such as the one the British ruled in the 19th Century and the 'informal' model the United States espoused after the Spanish American War.
