- Like?

So I figured, hell we get the most active when there is a debate going betwen a small circle of people, why not start a weekly program that gives you a topic and until the end of the week to finish it. This firt debate will have a little more time than the rest since I'm impacient. This debate will end next sunday, september the 30th, 2012.

Okay so the tiopic is this:

What if the United States became completely self sufficient sometime during this decade, what would happen to the rest of the world? What possible wars would result? What would it mean for the United States?

Go.

It would probably become an economic giant and be able to solve most if not all of it's problems, it also wouldn't obviously need other countries to assist it so we would probably *crag* over alot of trade with other countries in the progress of being a massive superpower. More crazy conspiracy shit will go on and the U.N will be scared shitless of us to the point that we may end up in WW3.

or something like that

good point,I think the only organization that would be able to stand the both economic blow and the military pressure of a completely self sufficient united states would be the EU, if they increase functionality and unity within Europe of course. Maybe Australia too since they are already self sufficient. China would be *crag*ing devastated because we make up a third of their market, possibly seeking a social unity with Russia whose communist political party is once again growing both in size and popularity due to hatred of Putin, and the Russians already hate the shit out of the United States as a whole.

similar to what happens when all work is automated and there is plenty of food and energy for everyone at no cost to anyone, Idiocracy. Most of us get fat and dumb and entertainment becomes the new currency. Then the few smart people running the place move away because they hate living here now, so China or whoever eventually out-innovate us in military and take over. *repeat as necessary*
