[QUOTE=toxicpiano;19933554]This would be incredibly expensive, the reason that outsourcing to China and other places has occurred is because the costs of labour are much cheaper than in the developed world.[/QUOTE] Just watch China become as expensive to manufacture stuff as Japan in the next few years. Where to next? India?
[QUOTE=AngryAsshole;19933572]America has both unfortunately. (What does somnambulant mean?)[/QUOTE] So America has a lying government and a populace whose word you don't know what means.
[QUOTE=Lankist;19933580]So America has a lying government and a populace whose word you don't know what means.[/QUOTE] Yes, exactly. Do you disagree?
[QUOTE=Split3ndz;19933574]Just watch China become as expensive to manufacture stuff as Japan in the next few years. Where to next? India?[/QUOTE] The next country can offer the cheapest labour basically.
[QUOTE=toxicpiano;19933599]The next country can offer the cheapest labour basically.[/QUOTE] I think that will still be china, they do seem to have a excessive amount of that commodity. One of the boons of housing 1/6th of the entire worlds population.
[QUOTE=AngryAsshole;19933598]Yes, exactly. Do you disagree?[/QUOTE] Uh yes because if we were somnambulant I wouldn't be having this fucking discussion with you.
[QUOTE=Lankist;19933617]Uh yes because if we were somnambulant I wouldn't be having this fucking discussion with you.[/QUOTE] *Insert smartass comment about proportional representation.* *or other smartass comment about correlation not implying casuation if applicable here.* Why do you have to use such big words?
Because I am educated and I have words that mean certain things so I use them when I need to say certain things. When I want to refer to a furry four legged barking animal I use the word "dog" because that's what the word means.
[QUOTE=Lankist;19933676]Because I am educated and I have words that mean certain things so I use them when I need to say certain things.[/QUOTE] This man comes out on top because of this.
[QUOTE=Lankist;19933676]Because I am educated and I have words that mean certain things so I use them when I need to say certain things.[/QUOTE] Can't you dumb it down just a little for us uneducated monkeys? Do you really want to argue about dogs with me?
[QUOTE=AngryAsshole;19933685]Can't you dumb it down just a little for us uneducated monkeys?[/QUOTE] Use google. Somnambulance means walking sleep.
[QUOTE=Lankist;19933693]Use google. Somnambulance means walking sleep.[/QUOTE] Ooh, you mean sheeple. Well I stand by my comment then. The American government lies and it's people are mainly ignorant and accepting of those lies, leading lives of sedate disinterest in politics. Not that I care particularly. Nor that I am implying this is different to any other government and country on the planet.
The reason I used the word somnambulance is because only uneducated children call people "sheeple" [editline]09:20AM[/editline] It isn't witty. It makes you sound like a hipster douche nozzle. [editline]09:21AM[/editline] Or a douche mobile [editline]09:21AM[/editline] That's right, a douche on wheels. Or perhaps maybe a decorative douche-themed sculpture hanging above some douchy baby's crib.

[QUOTE=AngryAsshole;19933811]I am hurt and ashamed by your verbal assault.[/QUOTE] Your argument is invalid. Just thought I'd tell you

Half the world has sanctions on America.
[QUOTE=NoDachi;19934327]Half the world has sanctions on America.[/QUOTE] Quantify this statement.
[QUOTE=NoDachi;19934327]Half the world has sanctions on America.[/QUOTE] What? Where did you hear THAT? I think you misspelt burma.
[QUOTE=Lankist;19934357]Quantify this statement.[/QUOTE] You should read the Economist more often.
[QUOTE=NoDachi;19934453]You should read the Economist more often.[/QUOTE] You should post facts more often.
Yeah like in your first couple posts :downs:
[QUOTE=NoDachi;19934485]Yeah like in your first couple posts :downs:[/QUOTE] My first couple of posts are hyperbolic jokes that are entirely false. Now yours?
[QUOTE=NoDachi;19934485]Yeah like in your first couple posts :downs:[/QUOTE] It really doesn't help that we don't know what you're talking about. Just explain what you meant, god. It doesn't make alot of sense that half the world can impose sanctions on a superpower like America. And even if it did, I doubt they even matter. America isn't going to care one bit if some tiny asian state forbids the export of her finest decorative linens.

[QUOTE=AtomicWaffle;19934511] *Big ass graph, showing America's big ass army* Oh no, sanctions.[/QUOTE] Economic sanctions can have crippling effects on economies. It doesn't have matter how big of an army you have if the rest of the world decides not to trade with you. I say this because if you tried to bully the rest of the world into trading with you, you're fighting a losing battle. You'd only make the sanctions on you even worse. If you don't believe me, take a look at Germany. They tried to wage a war on the entire world, twice, look how that turned out. It drove their economy into the ground.

[QUOTE=sloppy_joes;19934611]They only lost the war because Germany invaded Russia. P.S. Germany and the US were trading throughout the war.[/QUOTE] Yeah, bullets and torpedo's. And they lost the war because their infrastructure collapsed and America decided to fuck their shit up. They were fighting on too many fronts. They didn't have the manpower or the supplies.

The Americans did provide significant reinforcements on the Western Front, but America didn't just swoop in and "Fuck their shit up" Japan, on the other hand...
