I must apologize for not remembering the exact details, but I do believe it was the Nikkei index crash that just recently happened, recently used as a relative term of course.


Yeah I remember that now. Thanks. It was in the US's best interests to keep them afloat, nothing more. Where would they be without Sony? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

I think we do agree that losing one currency i.e. the dollar would effect the world greatly. I think that it would recover though. We don't REALLY need it. The world has just become sickeningly dependant upon uncle Sam unfortunately.
I guess they do control 70% of the world's resources... How did this happen <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

You see Womble, I don't have the luxury you have; because I am an American.
Have you ever read the book "The man without a country by Edward Everett Hale"?

I'll have to look for that. I don't particularly tie myself to the US or the UK really. I hate both governments equally. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/delight.gif" alt="" />

I just heard that Kerry has given up... What a loser! In 2000 Bush never let it go until he'd won. The guy was like a jack russel with a tennis ball! Kerry didn't deserve to win. Gah! That annoys me...

Womble stands, irritated, haddock at the ready, waiting to give Kerry a good slapping. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/evilgrin1.gif" alt="" />
