Some people need to chill...

Discuss the topic. If you think this is just a troll... fine, then just don't play along.

I know.

I do similar, though voting Green is a wasted vote and they are a bit extreme for my tastes.

As I regularly tell you, we both share very similar views...

The article you posted is a hachet job on American life, however, right in line with your M.O.

No it is not. This is your disconnect where your patriotism to defend a perceived wrong against your nation actually overrides your views on the subject. It is quite entertaining to see it happen, there used to be a guy on Poly ages ago called n.c., he did the same thing – I think eventually it all became a bit too much for him…

I'm active in all sorts of threads, both here in the OTF and in the CIV forums. You, on the other hand, are pretty much a one-trick-pony, so far as I've seen.

Again, you let your prejudice cloud your judgement. Yes I almost exclusively post on the OT and the sub forum, but after that your assertion rapidly becomes false…

Now, let’s get back to the subject at hand now we're all friends again...

300,000,000 ? That's it ? In a country so big ? India has 2 % of the world's landmass and 1/6 th or more of its population . And wer're not really bothered . Our growth is sustainable for a long time to come , specially with the second green revolution around the corner .

We're not really bothered -

Mobius,

I could take that article apart and show you, line by line, the pervasive, smug anti-Americanism in it, but it would be a wasted effort. You either cannot see it, or see it and enjoy it (or at least have no problem with it).

I suspect the latter. It matches your posting style to a T.

Arrain,

It seems to me that the worst thing that the article is saying about Americans is that they do not use resources efficiently. What's so bad about that, considering that it's certainly true.

I already quoted the best example from the article. AMERICA EATING THE WORLD!! ZOMG@!!!

The particular stats chosen, and moreso the little blurbs about what was going on in the US in 1915 and 1967. It's pretty transparent.

Personally the main reason I posted this was the realisation that my knowledge of the US population size was seriously out by 275m, but you as usual shot your flabby gob off without stopping to think...

So... did you think their population was 25 million or 575 million?

Translation: America does not have a sustainable development plan for the world. What's the problem?

I don't really see anything there like that.

To each their own. To me, it's clear as day.

You really think it says that American's are eating people? Come on now.

[Arrian]

No, you silly man!

This is pointless.
