aNdY, speaking of forcasting, have you read the book "the next 100 years" by george friedman? Pretty interesting stuff, he is predicting the political future for the world in the next 100 years. From space warfare to future hegemonic powers to foreign policies.


I just ate a bag of Pizza Rolls (40 total) and its almost midnight. Is that the sign of an eating disorder?
Nah, but sounds somewhat interesting.

Does he predict the downfall of the United States?

This Montero guy for Seattle looks pretty good.

Hopefully we play well again tomorrow against Brazil. And hopefully I won't miss any of the match because I have a doctor's appointment at 9am. That was the earliest I could get.

Yes, but he thinks its not going to happen anytime soon. He says we are still too young of a nation. Basically is like a bell curve and we havent quite reached our top, but yeah i havent finished it yet but I think he does. Oddly he claims that Poland will get big in the next 50 years and become a strong Allie and we will not control North America like we do now because Mexico will grow in strength and stature. Seems bizarre but he says he will explain it all in the book and my friend read it and said it was really interesting.

Hmm, Mexico growing as an economic force. Seems counter-intuitive.

well i will let you know how he forecasts it. I thought so about Poland though, but kinda makes sense when you consider how much tech we are giving them for defense...who knows.
Interesting, didn't know that.

I thought we were just giving them spy secrets for... free cocaine trafficking. :pumpkin:
