Well, I don't suppose you could take a ton of meaning away from a discussion such as this one. It's fun to bat ideas around every so often.
What would the World be like if the U.S.A never existed?

Yeah it's a head game, and this planet of ours would be very different if United States never existed. We probably never have the Internet, United Nations. Peacably protesting your grievances to government leaders, and having a place to worship without fear of getting killed or put into prision.

I don't want to take anything away. It's just that almost everything can be true. The history of the U.S. is truly global, for better or worse. It's just impossible to estimate.
I will say that the world would not be as good as it is today. The U.S., whether you like it or not, changed the world for the better and served as an example for other countries.
Today? I'm just not sure anymore. Looks like the U.S. is undoing much of what it accomplished in it's past.

I think someone would have thought of the internet. It began life as a DOD design to leep the lines of communication open in the event of nuclear devastation. Surely some other country would have seen the practicality of such a flexible networking system. When and how, I can't say.

Well, this is all very true.
I'd also like to state for the record (once again) that I did not vote for GWB. Not that it would have made a difference...

Yeah...I remember when the RS came out in the States. Suby enthusiats had been crying out for the WRX for years, and Fuji Heavy gives us WRX Jr. We snapped 'em up just so Subaru would be convinced that we'd buy WRXes...

I'd rather have a four-door blue RS than a four-door blue WRX. Everyone has a WRX these days...

Maybe so, but there's a good reason for that...

Heh, sorry, I mean the Impreza 2.5 RS when I said "RS." The 2.5 RS is the one we got before we got the turbo, and in blue and four-door, it was more than rare. I haven't seen one in months.
But, frankly, I'd rather have a Focus RS than a WRX, too. Doesn't the RS get something like 210 horsepower?! And it looks stellar doing it, too...
Plus, the RS isn't made in Mexico like the recalled Focuses.
