... & why would u wanna do that?? @Mr.Anderson... i`m not any Indian, Chinese or whatever!! btw, when did the patriotism become a taboo?? people have got a freedom of speech... even though their opinion might sound a bit absurd!! you say facts are more important than opinion... i agree, but does that mean people shouldn`t put forward their opinions?? if not all, most of the guyz have agreed that the U.S is number 1... obviously u`ll have a few guyz opposing...who cares...deep down they all know the fact or, maybe they r just plain ignorant!! & now referring to ur argument: now, what facts have u got there... i read an article on the Washington Post, which i would like to quote here: Washingpost.com - Whose Asian Centrury? China prepares to head a great manufacturing empire. But empires unravel, usually from within. The forces that will determine which nations will dominate the 21st century may yet favor India's emerging reach for global power status more than China's determined grasp for that prize. Politically, China is ruled by Leninists who must maintain the status quo. Militarily it relies on a large, under-equipped land army. Economically it has adapted and mastered Henry Ford's assembly line on a continental scale. Financially it hordes its cash, regulates its markets with zeal and defensively uses fiscal policy to prevent mass upheaval. India, on the other hand, has set out to become "a global knowledge hub, with a central place in the transnational movement of knowledge and services," what say Mr.Anderson??
Have a look at some of the comments about india in some of the India threads - the MAJORITY all say how great India (apparently) is. There are indians who cannot see that the country ISN'T as great as they think - there is people dying on the streets. Patriotism is OK, but when you ignore real problems with your country - it's wrong. I have no problem with opinions, but I don't like them when they are full of patriotic answers.
http://www.rediff.com/money/2006/mar/29minter.htm lol @ Peter Anderson you will get your answer with in next 6-10 years im still laughing here man....you have alot of fake believe come one grow up....become a matured man my dear friend... dont live in dreams you even have idea what India is ? though i don't prefer to debate with you but i would like to give u a current example....i guess u might be knowing that the whole world is facing financial problems....all the highly developed countries are in problem and guess what still.... yeh still INDIA is solid.almost all the countries representatives agreed on this even Americas president agreed that this huge financial problem also unable to affect India and we are standing ROCK Solid to rock the world. anyways from now i wont be answering your post..as its full of selfishness and you clearly seems to be the person who is living in dreams...dreams unlimited...grow up buddy take some pills
This article is pretty much about the guy gamble with India economy and say whatever he wants..The guy have opinion.Why you some you guys worry about India to be become number 1, than worry about changing the country image. Quote From the article>>> What are the hurdles? There remain in India a lot of problems with regard to infrastructure, with regard to still substantial regulatory barriers… there remain a number of regulatory issues that are not just at the national level but also at the state level. As you know the rules in the different states are quite different and not always coordinated. This creates uncertainty and complexity, which is a bit of a deterrent to investment. But I am investing in India, it is a very attractive opportunity, so I think with the right policies, with the right efforts, India can attract a lot of foreign investment. From The Article >> You have written that India will overtake the US in 45 years. It is going to be India's century. India is going to be the biggest economy in the world. It is going to be the biggest superpower of the 21st century Are you serious. You going to take one guy word rather than millions of Indians people(your Own) who believed that won't happened due to the way they are being treated..Maybe in 100 years, not 45 years.
You should be the one growing up - stop living in a fantasy world. There are people DYING in the streets of India - a large percentage of Indian's live in poverty. Everyone is getting pissed off with your stupid patriotic opinion. I would give you -rep too, if I was a person who gave it out. What is your fucking obsession with being number 1? Refer to my earlier point (in bold). Focusing on bettering your country FIRST, before claiming to be a number 1!
Just fyi - Doubt seriously that came from an American. The speech pattern isn't from a native English language speaker (plus nobody here has reason to speak of taking over India). Guy that typed that one probably came from the nearby vicinity, not the US.
LOL if it were a bollywood movie there would be a outbreak of singing and bad dancing people wait wait jale cheya cheya cheya
No I'm just going to bold the word WAS for you. Is that why we're a superpower now? Becaus ewe're embarrassed? If only you could be so embarrassed eh? That or continue the war. WOW your lack of knowledge of what you're talking about is only shadowed by your desire to display it over and over again. Save? Desperate? What retarded British school did you go to that told you were were losing that war? We were set to invade the Japanese homeland. We dropped bombs to save American lives. In other words, we grew tired of playing games with you and ENDED it. Because we were in the position of power to END IT. Still sound desperate? Not only did dropping those bombs end the war. It sent a message to all who would challenge our might in the future. Worked out pretty well I'd say. I'm not happy innocent people had to die because of it. But such is the world we live in. It was either them or us. Not saying the british army isn't tough and even well trained. Just putting it in perspective for you and helping you realize just how tiny and insignificant your army is as a whole on the world scale. Ahh if only today were yesterday eh? True Our history as a nation started AFTER we whipped your ass. Not before. Your pathetic decent from a major empire to what you are now is all you And talking about the demise of your empire makes your country look good how? How does that make us not your daddy? Look from now on just shut up and follow us to whatever war we tell you to like a good little sidekick mmkay?
GeorgeB, where have you been, dude? I thought you had hidden under your bed for good this time! Had a good cry, did you?! Don't worry, Son; I won't hurt you . . . Much! I went to UCL. It was ranked 7th best in the world this year. Where did you go? You're pleased that you dropped atom bombs - two of them - on innocent civilians? Insignificant? We both know that that isn't true. You're just saying that to hurt my feelings, because I've been making you look like an ignoramus. I don't understand what you mean there. Our descent was brought about by two world wars. Yours has begun due to an inability to compete with China. With the growth of the European Union, you'll only be pushed even further back. That'll make you one of the shortest-lived empires in history. Not much to brag about, really, is there?! In fact, it's all quite embarrassing. Maybe you really should hide under your bed! I think that that's a low blow. You are showing obvious signs of desperation. Try to think of something intelligent to say next time. For example, try to disprove that we're far more powerful than you if population size was considered. And try to disprove that we've had the biggest hand in shaping the modern world.
How come? Quote: Oh yeah))) You know a lot about Russia, do you? Educate yourself: dream on. Actually, they did bomb it, and they had snipers all over the place. They were preparing for months on this attack with maps etc., plans to overtake Abkhaziya later too. But they failed. Their equipment was somewhat like NATO's (since US was their donor) and their military men were trained for some months by americans (again). Regarding the topic, whos the most powerful, etc. its gotta be US & Russia as it always was. Some facts: 1) these two have the greatest number of high-tech weapons (nukes) on the ground/sea/air 2) these two are the countries who produce new innovative weapons and sell it to the rest of the world (so we dont know what weapons they have themselves, obviously the export is outdated) 3) the quantity of army like China/India is not a measure nowadays, it would be 100 years ago, but not now. Nowadays the high-tech weapons rule.
Like he said - us or them. We wanted to end the war. By the way, we had Great Britains approval, Russias approval and so on before we dropped those atomic bombs. What does that say? Well let me tell you what that says - The UK would have dropped the atom bombs too if y'all were in the same situation wanting to end the war with no more British lives lost (and if you had the technology that we did.. you didn't ) Wha? GeorgeB is giving facts while Masterful plays the "our country would be more powerful thans yours if it was bigger!" card. No shit eh? Let me ask you a couple questions. What world do you live in? And what makes the UK more powerful than America? It's not only our military numbers that are far beyond yours, but our technology is better than yours. How can you deny that? You should be happy that America is your best ally and stop living in this fantasy world that your wee country is in some way more powerful. Oh and one more thing. America won every major battle in Vietnam. We spanked Great Britain twice (American Revolution and the War of 1812). And don't say we lost the war in 1812 because we didn't take Canada, as that was not our main objective in the war. The British offered peace RIGHT after Americas victory at the Battle of New Orleans. Y'all got scared then
baby! cool down, its not matter of words, maybe i have visited india more than you,just keep quite or du you want i post links and proofs for all here ?
N_F_S please provide the source you're getting the total number from, not that it matters who has the most (in the end all will die lol), just for info gathering purposes
Actually, little girl, GeorgeB is trying to offend with exaggerations which he knows are ridiculous. That tells me that you didn't even read the discussion. Show me where such a denial was made. Like I said, the "wars" with Great Britain weren't even wars, and you lost all of your other, real wars. That's why I think it's funny that you have such high opinions of yourselves. You should be hiding under your beds with shame and embarrassment. And even more embarrassing, whatever it is that you feel proud of is about to come to a premature end.
