America being the greatest success story as an immigrant nation given us hope as a small nation state make up of immigrants.
Truly light to all nations if all of us can learn this in Singapore schools

USA is big.
Singapore is small.
USA can go and absorb 2 million, 5 million or even 10 million PRCs.
Singapore absorb 2 million, 5 million or 10 million PRCs won't be called Singapore already.
Called a province of China.
This is one point that PAP fuckers do not care about.
Singapore can be a light to all asian states if we followed the principles of america way.
Imagine if China can be the America of the east, will there not be a blessing to th world?

I consider that to be insane.
Asia cannot be a power just by throwing money and miltary might around..we need idealistic leaders like washington and jefferson to free up the mindsets to govern our won lives
Asia shouldn't be like the west be so called "leaders" and go around lecturing people, force things down people's throats.
That is not the asian way.
washington and jefferson. Very good.
But keep it in USA.
And why the hell you want China to copy USA.
I consider that to be insane.
Who go and follow down that road will only lead to the doom of China.
Another paradigm I want to establish is a difference between two kinds of civilizations, which means a difference between two kinds of governments in them. Asiatic Civilizations, which I call Class B Civilizations, generally do not attempt to deal with individuals or with the problems of individuals; they leave interpersonal relationships to the local or kinship community.
Class A Civilizations including Classical Civilization, our own Western Civilization, or the first Chinese or Sinic Civilization, whose dates are 1800 B.C. to 400 A.D. In class A Civilizations, although the civilization begins as an area of common culture made up of communities, there is a long term trend to destroy and break down those communities.
The way I would like to express this would be -- and I used to draw it on the blackboard -- by saying that all civilizations start out as aggregations of communities. Those communities are generally of two types, either local, such as parishes, neighborhoods, villages, or manors; or kinships, families, clans, and so forth.
The communities from which Classical Civilization came were clans, kinship groups; the communities from which Western Civilization came were local villages and manors. Lucky civilizations, such as Chinese Civilizations over the past 1500 years, generally have communities which are both kinship and local.

follow the america way, u mean allow our banks and sub prime to go up and free up loan to all, make the market vibrant to attract huge foreign investment and then declare bankrupt and losses??? And finally be the culprit of economy meltdown in Asia??
Why they never learn their lesson, in this world, there is no mistake, only lesson, but if you dun learn it, god bless you.
One of the founding principle is not debt as it will destroy a nation however the bankers got into America after the departure of america founders sad to say

that is also a problem in their open door policy to immigrants, tons of jews mess up their banking system and yet go away happily rich.
I dun find american way of life any better than an ordinary Singaporean life like you and me.
I agree USA is not utopia state but definitely a more ideal than the despotic old world during her founding years pity the successive generations make blunders that would shocked washington and his contemporaries if they come back from time
There are many aspects of US domestics and social program, at least Singapore govt can learned from...
1) Free 12 months dairy powder programmes for new born.
2) Financial helps for those who are born handicap.
3) Meal program for Elementary school student program.
4) Free courses for self help social seminar funded by local cities n state
All these little things here and there help to make life easier.....it shift the life style from make ends meet...... to living.........so at least singaporean can have better sex life.

Because there are too many chinese immigrant influx to the US?
One thing that the US founders did not do is to enshrine a proper monetary policy ...but then they do not know the science of money back then and they are not even economists....so much so that the burden of debt thru private bankers have grown til now.
As long as America can print money to get out of its economic crisis, and get away with it, the USA will always be the super power and a success story.
America is going to print its way into the destruction of its currency sooner or later

In many 1st world countries, the appearance is good on the outside, but the suffering of it citizens inside, are at times, worst than the life in some 3rd world countries.
America care more on it appearance, it society is one heck of a mess, more widows and widowers, more orphans and gang, more drug and gun, more jobless and old age, more higher medicate and taxes, street unsafe and mass killing are all a sad reflection of America today

...if they cannot get away with it.... and that is a big if....
Way i see it, sooner or later countries are not going to want the US dollars for their goods and services.Even if the truth of the matter doesn't show up on the exchange rates, countries are going to see their US dollars piling up with no way of getting rid of it.
Think we're just waiting for the critical mass to build up.
