Setting at The Bar one night @ www.drunksrus.com on Vent... Someone was talking about how we are like The Romans and we are going to fall...


What's your take.. Do think that we are following in the foot steps of the Romans?

We wont fall, just stagger, and get right back on track.  We always have and always will.

The Romans overstretched themselves, letting all their enemies attack at once.

Probably won't happen with the US, any enemy that tries to attack will get atomized.

That is quite a naive statement. Ask a roman in the middle of their empire if they would of fallen, they would of said the same damn thing.

I am sure we will fall, I just hope not to hard.

The also did not have nukes in Roman times. Lets say if there were mules in 10 cities and all let off @once.

Terrorist? Do you even know the definition of the word? I am simply stating the truth. We aint got nothing on the prime of the Romans.

Would I fight and die for this country? You better believe it. I got my guns, bring it on. lol

Another down fall of the Romans, although not really noticed by many....They had a water system, pipes to be exact that were made of lead. Studies have shown that a lot of citizens, and a lot of their defensive military had lead poisoning....So I have heard.

On topic, I don't think the USA will ever fall like the Romans did. They got invaded and their cities were sacked and burned. Who is going to invade us? Nukuler (Bushy style) annihilation will not happen. Humanity has come to a realization, that if they are used, it will destroy everybody and poison the earth with waste.

If anything, the world will be destroyed before the USA falls apart =P (Global Warming people ZOMG!)

I'm not sure if you meant to say mules, or missed the keys to say nukes. If it's the latter, that's one of the funniest typos I've ever seen.

God help humanity if we let off 10 mules at the same time!!!!

I believe the fall of the USA began when they invaded Iraq in 2003.

Its fall wont be quick, or possibly wont even completely come about, but thats when i believe the fall began.

I dont think - barring a world wide disaster like world war 3, another great depression or invasion of aliens - that it will ever lose some sort of influence over the world. It will remain a world force, it just wont be a super power - kinda like Germany, Japan or Britain.

Thats my two cents.
