"It won’t be long before all your fire sales are bought out by the Chinese."

US GDP = $14 trillion. China GDP = less than $4 trillion. China has to sell all its crap to the US because its people are too poor to afford it themselves.

I don't understand why a Korean is boasting that China will defeat the US economically anyway. Most Chinese hate Korea. They would laugh at your pathetic vicarious nationalism, as do I.

Sorry you feel that way, Tom. Basically, you’re saying you would like to see the good perish with the bad. That is not the sign of a person with yangban character.

I wouldn't mind Korea crash and burn if it means I can watch arrogant fools constantly ragging on Koreans, eating their pies.

I hope the US crashes and burn.

There is some truth to what you are saying about America’s debt and moral bankruptcy, Tom. However, Leon’s right about the danger Korea would be in if the United States crashes and burns. You have China to the west, North Korean communist and Russians to the north, and the Japanese to the east. I hope that for the sake of all those living on the Korean peninsula the United States does not go down the tubes soon. Remember Tom, whether you like it or not, the United States is the only ally of the Republic of Korea. If there was or is another ally, it does not have the strength to keep your potential adversaries at bay. Lastly, your bitterness is eating you up, Tom. I’ll say it again: Hatred is bad for soul. And Tom, I am not the least bit offended by your harsh words toward my country. You need to think positive, Tom; love your neighbour as you love yourself. There are good people in the U.S. as there are good people in Korea.

I remember folks like you saying the same thing about Japan "owning the US" in the 80's. How'd that work out? I'm still not speaking Japanese (not very well anyway). As much as you savor these doom and gloom scenarios for the US, don't you realize if the US crashes and burns, many countries including China and especially Korea, go down the same tube. With that in mind, you might want to go out the pom-poms and lead the cheer for "Go America!"

IMF is China, to the tune of over one Trillion dollar I owe you's. What are talking about Laport? China now practically owns your country. You better do exactly what they tell you to do, or else they may cut you off.

When the US accepts the IMF, then I'll give you one, Tom.

Everyone has a moniker on the net. Even your own "On Top" is one.

Anyway, you're silly. America will not have to worry about any kind of immigrants soon. Pretty soon, the way the US is going down the tube, nobody's going to be wanting to immigrate to a screwed up third world country full of fat people with no jobs. US better not p*ss off the Chinese too much otherwise they will withdraw their help given to you.

Aww. you spent all your money on X-boxes and expensive costly wars. Now go print more money.

Obviously you either changed your name or your parents imigrated, you are not even proud enough of your own country to keep your Korean name or your parents weren't proud enough to stay in Korea. You don't see any American changing his name to "chopstick", do you? The only thing Korea has been good at in the last 1000 years is being occupied. Rather it is China, Russia or the U.S. on top one thing is for sure, Korea will never be more than barely over the top as a third world country. What can you expect from a country that always needs to be rescued from the grips of Japan?
