It's not a tiny prerequisite there my dears, it's quite a big one. I did watch it and I too got angry... because if anything I found Fry almost sycophantically positive about your country in it. Carole Gould: with respect, were you watching the right programme on the right listing? I'm actually baffled: he says nothing but lovely things about America!

Thus, leaders as well as human resource managers should keep an eye open for the symptoms and treat the root causes before it is too late.

We have a serious problem in the us, not only with an unassimilabley militant muslim immigrant community, but with a mexican invasion,being mobilized to take back the Southwest.No, I don't believe Farrakhan should be banned,although putting him on the same level as Wildeers(if that was your intention) is simply wrongheaded(I am being kind).Finally, though, we do seem to have common ground: I'M glad to see you believe in freedom of speech.Don,t underestimate the power of a small minority;especially vis-a-vis a terminally corrupt governing class. The Communists, Nazis,et al all started out as tiny minorities.Not all germans were Nazis nor were they alevil, but they went along just the same. Who is smug?

American patriot, US investment is worth 80% of germany's economy, any figures to back that up? It sounds preposterous. Maybe the stock of FDI is 80% of GDP I don't know but that's not really relevant and it isn't remotely the same thing as 80% of Germany's annual economic output flow being due to US investments, and I'm sure that you are aware of that distinction. Deguello, the 'imported' muslim population make up a tiny proportion of the European population and most of those people are just regular joes wanting the same as most people do, a job to pay the bills and a better life for their kids than they had, those who are 'militant, galvanised and ready to strike' are a small minority of a small minority. The US has a Muslim population of several million anyway so I wouldn't be so smug if you genuinely think that they are all evil.

However it's quite clear judging by cultural developments in europe, it's continued declining birth rate, its support for pc multiculturalism,and its unsustainable welfare state. That you ARE in decline vis a vis a vigorous,militant, galvanized, imported Muslim population that smells your corruption, and is getting ready to strike.As for the charges against you,answer me one thing: Do you believe Wilders should be kept out of England? Yes or no? Jonessy: Thanks for the condescension.

For you see, how on earth do you think Europe was able to achieve any growth at all? Thanks to the 100,000 US soldiers stationed on your soil keeping you from killing each other, and of course American investment which accounts for more than half of your economy, and in some countries, like Germany, it accounts for nearly 80%! American investment in the 1990s accounted for ALL of Ireland's growth, which skyrockted to from one of the poorest nations in Europe to one of the wealthiest in the world. You're welcome! “It may be worth bearing in mind that in the 30 years to the mid 80s, Europe caught up rapidly with the USA in terms of GDP per capita”

It may be worth bearing in mind that in the 30 years to the mid 80s, Europe caught up rapidly with the USA in terms of GDP per capita and even over the past 15 years while the US has been crowing about its superiority, as many Europeans (excluding the ex USSR) live in countries which have gained relative to the US on that measure as live in countries that have fallen back. Don't let the facts get in the way of a good rant though!!! :) Vikram,
