It's like south-central California without all of the traffic.

Oh wow, I never would have known that seeing as I'm actually Hawaiian myself. :roll:

At least they are far away from the mainland and they aren't dominated by white Americans who think they're the only ones with the right to be anywhere.


It would still likely have some negative effects on Hawaii if the U.S collapsed considering it is a state.


I just want to see this country face justice for crimes against humanity. It's not fair that this country gets away with such BS and it has for centuries!

If I hear the term "American Heroes" one more time I swear I'm going to vomit. :eew:

Other people feel the same about their own countries. Look at the history of the British Empire... it was made "great" through slave trading, drug running, piracy and general suppression, exploitation and ethnic cleansing... the usual sort of stuff. They never taught me that in history lessons at school.


... anyway, I've been away for a few weeks, welcome back, Twizty.

There are true heroes in every country.....

Martin Luther King, despite his "extra-curricular activities," to me is an American hero.

Well its not as though a collapse would mean those responsible for those things would be facing justice. The very wealthy and influential probably already have well equipped bunkers and places to wait things out in the event of something like a governmental collapse, they'll be just fine. Its the rest of us that would be facing the consequences of the collapse.

We've been hearing the "US will collapse" for many years.

It hasn't happened yet.

We have been in worst times than this.

Just about every hero has a nasty side. John Wayne received a medal from Congress for being an "American Hero", but he openly hated blacks. JFK was a WWII hero, who had a string of mistresses since his teen years. MLK wasn't a war hero, but he was also an unfaithful horn-dawg.

Then again we'll see how this natural disaster season treats us. A lot of people in California have not been able to recover from the fires...still a lot of people who lost everything and have not been able to pick up the pieces, my dad went out there to help those people and yeah certainly sounds like its still pretty bad there. There is a bunch of flooding in the midwest still from that big storm that caused blizzards and extreme winds. In Colorado there have been more than the usual amount of Avalanches...and of course the fire season has yet to occur. Disasters can happen on scales that might cause a collapse.

There are things about US history that they never taught me in school, or if they did teach it they tried to sugarcoat it with BS about how kind and merciful the USA always is to it's enemies (you know, the usual silver screen propoganda this country is infamous for).

As I got older and found out the TRUTH about a lot of these wars we were involved in and the inexcusable things we do as a country to this day I eventually got to where I lost all of my patrotism. Americans are not heroes, they are the very opposite. This country is THE country for narcissists.

I'd rather look up to a horndog or misanthrope than somebody who rapes and kills civilians during wars or tortures POWs to death.

It's sad that you dislike your country like that, I haven't gotten too much into how it works but in my eyes there's just some people who are worse at making a good country than others. PS I think lots of stuff from the US has made my life better and even though It's got a lot of holes on the right side of it I've kept my US t-shirt in the drawer because I think it looks awesome and I don't want it to get thrown out.

If the USA collapses, aspies are probably going to have a very, very, bad time. In fact, we're probably among the first to die in the post-apocalyptic scenario that follows. Actually, it would make for a kind of funny writing prompt, someone should write a story about aspies surving the post-apocalypse and mix it with comedy.

Then throw in some crazy sci-fi. like.... the government had secret bionic eyes technology that made peoples heads explode when they made eye-contact with the bionic eye, but because aspies avoid eye-contact, we've somehow managed to survive and form secret societies under the ruins of civilization.

Then an NT somehow manages to wiggle his way into this secret society, but in a world of aspies everyone assumes he's the crazy one, in a very Omega Man type of scenario. Witch-hunts spring out throughout the aspie society "There's an NT among us!" causing an uproar. The NT is at an advantage because, while the aspies are shooting at him with crossbows and spears, his gambit is to make eye-contact, causing them to look away and miss. Also everyone is extra-clumsy when they try to engage him in melee so he easily dispatches several aspies at once, thereby satisfying the action element of this story.

But eventully, through raw numbers, the aspies finally catch him, they blind-fold him to take away his secret power, and ultimately end up sacrificing him on an altar of their god, Awe-tyr-ism.

Anyways, you don't want society to collapse because that NT could well be a distant relative of yours.

Also,

All Hail Awe-tyr-ism!

Just like an American to think that we are the center of the universe.

There won't be an apocalypse if the USA collapses unless there is an all-out nuclear war. If we collapse life on this miserable little planet will go on in some form, even if it'll seem oppressive because we no longer have that resource-sucking leech called capitalism to provide us with luxury while third world countries around the world are dying of starvation and disease, not to mention all the wars and terrorists attacks that we are directly responsible for creating.

And ALL empires crumble eventually and yet the people in those countries still find ways to survive.

I don't think i would be happy living in any region of the US or any country in the world. There's a**holes and dicks everywhere who love to put people like me down because they are all secretly hoping i'll kill myself so they can have a big laugh about it. :shrug:
