You'll know, because the harbinger of our fall is that of Germany.

You will fall when the rest of the world stops talking and trading with you.ok, then what about the (planned?) tax increase on imported steel, that's a start of the world no longer trading with the US...That won't happen. Thank you, globalization.
depends on how you define "weak", after sept. 11, a lot of muslims where the target of aggression, something like this could escalate into a civil war, and then you got the fact that a lot of poeple are carrying a gun, which probably means everyone will kill everyone.Seriously, I don't think America can ever really fall. Unlike Rome, we can't be weakened internally nearly as much, and tactically, a military takeover is nigh impossible.
true, military takeover is impossible, but who does that nowadays, when you can simply hack the US into a 3rd world country

The security forces have a tendency to kill people when the scene starts to resemble a civil war too much for comfort. Remember the Watts riots, or the race riots of the 60s?Everything changes, but nothing is truly lost.Comment

We have so much technology, so much power over the world market, and our fingers in everything and everyone we can possibly hang onto...I seriously think that acts of God are all we have to fear...
You think you're here for all eternity and are invincible ? It's a superiority complex, a try for propaganda, or just a plain childish affirmation ?
Romans though themselves invincibles and lasting forever too.

Everything is replaceable. The USA is no exception. If America would sink today in the ocean, we would have tomorrow companys popping up all over the world, replacing former US ones.If it is no fun why do it?

I hope America (along with all other exclusive states) falls when humanity in general figures out how inane and superficial nationality is. The sooner the better.
In any case it probably isn't too distant when the US will undergo serious changes. We look about halfway through the Revolution->Stability->Corruption->Revolution cycle.Comment

Hmm, let's see...
1) Corporate take-over. E.g. we become a wholly-owned subsidiary of MicroSoft or maybe of AOL-Time-Warner.
2. Would a military take-over qualify? I mean, we'd still be the U.S.A. but would just be under new management.
3. Alien invasion. (Independance Day only with a different ending)
4. Eco-disaster (pan-national plague, comet strike, blight destroys our agriculture, nuclear/radiation leak
)
5. Rebellions -- It wasn't too long ago when Alaska was talking seriously of withdrawing from the Union. Alaskans were really ticked abvout the federal govenment dictate that about 2/3 of the state was to become federal parkland and reserves.
...Man, this is a depressing thread.

The end of the US doesn't have to be a bad thing. You can regress, progress, or stay in the same place. The US constitution allows for slight/slow changes, but not enough to allow all forms of progress.
If the US ends and we have a better form of society take it's place that's a good thing. Plus it is somewhat enjoyable to listen to the replies that this thread has provoked...Comment
