    Solution to Nations

    I think that the US should start going out and incorporating new states

    I mean, what other way would be better for making areas into first world stable democracies

    I mean it is the same sort of thing that West Germany did with East Germany

    yah it took a lot of time and money, but East Germany is much better off now

    we in the US should do that for other countries also

    we would of course have to do so slowly because it would be a big drain on resources

    like one country at a time

    but than that country would have rule of law, jobs, politcal power, infrustructure and all the other things that a first world nation has

    also they would have politcal power

      The nation state should be abolished and replaced with a system of city states like in the good old days. Then we can go and sack Sparta for what they did to me.
      Exult in your existence, because that very process has blundered unwittingly on its own negation. Only a small, local negation, to be sure: only one species, and only a minority of that species; but there lies hope. [...] Stand tall, Bipedal Ape. The shark may outswim you, the cheetah outrun you, the swift outfly you, the capuchin outclimb you, the elephant outpower you, the redwood outlast you. But you have the biggest gifts of all: the gift of understanding the ruthlessly cruel process that gave us all existence [and the] gift of revulsion against its implications.

        WTG, Jon.
        Not everybody thought the USA wanted to absorb the rest of the world.
        I guess you took care of that though.
        Thanks for your kind and considerate help.

              Well, before western society colapses it will go towards being absorbed

              someone will have to absorb the rest, it might as well be us (instead of the EU through the UN)

                east germany is a democracy now right?

                and doesn't have as much corruption?

                and I thought the economy was better

                      Unemployment in East-Germany is around 20%.
                      Their are huge difficulties for young ppl. to find education possibilities. Floods of them flee to the west to train for some job (there are even special "refugee camps" aka youth hostels for easties).
                      Whole city blocks are abonded (some of those houses were build with government-aid money).
                      In some areas (mostly rural) racist culture is very high (= the usual choice for the youth). In general racism in the East is higher than in the West.

                      Germany has very high debts, every 5th tax-euro goes to interest. Most of those debts is from the East-Buildup.


                      Ok, maybe the East is better than bevor, kind of democratic and all but I would hardly call it a success.

                            ...and Bristol too, drop bombs, burn the place to the ground...it would look much better. And rape all the young women. They'd enjoy that...so let's not bother with that

                              I think I agree with Starchild... we should go back to the good old city-states system and go sack Sparta
