lets compile a list of nations in chaos and by chaos I mean far below normal situations that would be expected there.

The horn of Africa
The whole middle east
Even Israel is in mass protest
Japan
Mexico
Brazil-Did they get their situation cleaned up?
Most of Europe
US

Crazy shit keeps happening everywhere right now. It seems like half of the world is protesting/at war/dispute/crisis.

Is all normal in China and India?

Australia, Canada, and south america seem to be fine.

Cool! Let's..

The horn of Africa <-- Not a Nation
The whole middle east <-- I'll allow it, but....
Even Israel is in mass protest <-- Isn't Israel part of the "whole" middle east?

This thread is off to a bad start.

let's start over. Je m'appelle Socks``.

Well the regions include all the countries and the "even" before Israel acknowledges that it is part of the middle east

isn't South America always in some shit? And Australia is just getting over floods of their own. And Canada- well they have to deal with being Canada

^ I didn't see that line. Or I would have asked when Brazil and South America parted ways.

"The horn of Africa - yes, things are not going so well for them. Who would have though a region plagued with para military groups, lack of government, and colonial exploitation would lead to such disarray? The whole middle east - not all of the Middle East is "going to shit" by their standards, but by American standards of living, yes. Even Israel is in mass protest - even the best democracies in the world have protests. protests at least show political action and participation on some level. not to mention protests are the least of Israel's worries at the moment. Japan - had some unfortunate shit go down with nuclear reactors and floods but is still the number 3 economy in the world by GDP (IMF, World Bank) has the number 10 health care system (WHO), and number 10 on human development index. not sure what the "world going to shit" problem is here. Mexico - is going to shit. Brazil-Did they get their situation cleaned up? - Brazil (obviously a BRIC country) is one of the fastest growing developing nations, along with Russia, India and China. Most of Europe - Spain, Greece and Ireland != most of Europe. Eastern Europe has been a paradigm of democratization and economic recovery since 1989 and many E. European nations have met conditionality for the EU, which is a step in the right direction. Hell, look at the Czech Republic circa 1989 versus today. The EU as a whole still represents a powerful economic coalition and the Euro has been beasting the dollar for a while now and 23 countries peg their currency to it. US - I'm not even going to get started here. Crazy shit keeps happening everywhere right now. It seems like half of the world is protesting/at war/dispute/crisis. Is all normal in China and India? - define normal. China has been doing it's post-Mao thing for a while now and has maintained it's oppressive status quo. India's economy is booming right now and is on part to become a major world player in the next 50 years with it's growing population and increasingly (US) educated youth. Australia, Canada, and south america seem to be fine. - not sure why South America isn't capitalized and the others are but have you looked at Venezuela lately? Colombia is starting to get better but the region as a whole (minus Brazil and maybe Argentina) is sub-par to 1st world standards. Canada and Australia do seem do be doing alright. "

that being said...

TSB IN MY CHIT CHAT?! move this shit out of here

8/12/2011 10:32:52 PM

this is barely holding in chit chat. It would get laughed out of tsb in a heartbeat.

^All of the countries I mean normal by how the last 20 years have gone for them. Also, the Euro is NOT beasting. The Euro is going to shit as well.

I've been here for two months and things are pretty smooth sailing. A small group is protesting high cost of living but not much else is going on.
